Globalists are not Conservative. Cruz is a Globalist. Therefore he is not a conservative.

Cruz was an establishment lawyer under Bush, helped write his NAFTA bill. When he got his ass handed to him in the south he called in the establishment to take over and run his campaign.

Little fact; Cruz is winning nothing now, its all the GOPe political machine. If he had such a good ground game and talent with delegates he would not have lost the south as bad as he did. This is why the GOPe is smug and moving to install a Rino like Ryan at the convention.

Hint, when the delegates from Colorado are primarily State GOP party officers and donors, you are getting shafted if you think they are supporting Cruz for the Nomination.

Ya and take a look at what you have to dole out to get in there.

And these Cruz supporters on here dont think they have been set up?

It is clear that the suckers on here that claim to be Cruz supporters are loyalists who are as guilty of the criminal activities as the elites in DC.
I saw first hand how it worked with a FORMER friend of mine-the congressman from MI 1.

You know Iran is democracy, but everyone with a brain know its a sham. Instead of saying rules are rules, how about fight against an unfair system

The rules have to be approved by the convention. Too bad Trump trashed so many republicans during his campaign. Good luck.

Cruz may have won within the “rules”, but he is giving the appearance that he is subverting the will of the people. The picture will only get worse for him in the next couple of weeks. He will come in with embarrassingly low numbers.

Trying to sway or capture delegates in states he outright loses will only paint him as a crooked, lying politician

Kasich has a better chance in PA than Cruz.

Paul Manafort used to work with Roger Stone and Lee Atwater, many years ago.

I am well aware of that.

I used to work with a guy who’s in jail for espionage. Doesn’t make me a spy.

Never said I liked the Party system, especially the two party elitest class of Washington DC. That is essentially the problem with our government. Trump or Cruz running as a GOP isn’t the whole answer to that. It needs to start in the districts and states to change the two party elitest domination of our representative government.

Trump should just take the nomination at gunpoint. He’s not going to lose any supporters if he has to shoot someone.

RE:”Gee, you think after the GOPe Cochran election debacle Patriotic Americans are just going to bend over for the GOPe machine election stealing again?”

Only in Trump world is Trump's total campaign incompetence characterized as having something stolen from him.
Its pretty well known except for in Trump-cult land what happened in CO.
Those Trump morons accidentally directed Trump votes to Cruz.

After firing the organizer initially put in charge of Colorado last week, Trump’s team hired Patrick Davis, a GOP operative from Colorado Springs, to put together a slate in an effort to win some of the delegate slots to be elected by just fewer than 4,000 party activists at Saturday’s assembly. Heading in, Cruz had already swept the seven assemblies held in the state’s congressional districts, each of which elect three delegates, giving him 21 of Colorado’s 34 elected delegates — a majority — before ballots hit the floor at the state convention.
“Trump’s last-minute organizing effort did not go well. The leaflet his campaign handed out listed a slate of 26 delegates. But in many cases the numbers indicating their ballot position — more than 600 delegates are running for 13 slots — were off, meaning that Trump’s team was mistakenly directing votes toward other candidates’ delegates
.”

Yeah it was such a legit operation it was only coincidence the delegates chosen just happened to primarily be GOPe State Party officers, Big donors and party faithful. Yep all above Board...

Bur hey, I want you to keep defending this treason on the GOP voters of the State of Colorado. This, the Phylis Shafly thuggery incident and the BS damage control arguments the Party insiders are pushing is doing massive damage to Cruz and camp, Thank you.

I thought one of the main reasons for supporting Trump was the stupid leadership in the Capital?

Replacing stupid with more stupid would be.....well, stupid.

Right?

heh.

Jedi.

“Threatening Riots at the convention”

Never did he threaten riots; he simply stated a possibility that we here on FR had been throwing around weeks before his statement. When he mentioned the possibility of riots, at the same time he said he would not be involved.

Ted’s lyin’ is contagious, apparently. Please see a doctor.
