That would make sense as going 3rd party would help get his friend Hillary elected, which has been Trump’s goal from the start.

You mean to say that they were “JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS”?

This is probably the biggest crybaby ever to run for President.

Is he going to allocate half his Missouri delegates to Cruz?

Or refuse to take all in winner take all states if he didn’t win 100%?

Like of hate Trump, he has pulled the curtain back and exposed the political hacks and corruption of BOTH parties. Now imagine what they are doing during General Elections - especially with electronic voting machines.

Trump won only 45% of the vote in Florida. Why should he be awarded 100% of the delegates? The 55% who voted for other candidates were disenfranchised. It’s rigged!

Oh, wait. That is an undemocratic rule that benefits Trump.

Never mind.

Both Trump and Cruz have managed to piss me off on several occasions, but I will vote either in the general election.
BUT IT HAD BETTER BE ONE OR THE OTHER, hear that gopE?

Pretty much tipping his hand here that he’s gonna go third-party.

Wait until he finds out about what happens when you only win a plurality of electors under the 12th Amendment. Of course that probably won't happen until after the election.

It’s been rigged for a very long time but Trump has allowed us to see just how deep it goes. They even pick which so-called conservatives get national recognition. They make sure those “conservatives” are completely blackmailable and totally under their control.

It has been amazing watching Cruz go from trusted conservative to wholly owned shill of the Uniparty. From silent VP allied with those responsible for the Mississippi massacre of a conservative, to faux constitutionalist, to Christian without scruples, it is clear that they have Cruz in the palm of their hands and the US election process down to a science. They don’t just make certain that the two nominees are different sides of the same liberal coin, they make certain that everyone involved is under their control.

When someone popular gets involved who does not need their money or their high paid “expertise” (another level of control), and that person can’t be blackmailed or bought off, the Uniparty sets out to destroy them. Anyone who says it is not so is either naive to the point of stupidity or one of the people responsible. It is so obvious now.

Noting that I will gladly vote for Trump if nominated because he is already calling out the corrupt Washington cartel, please consider the following about the two-party system.

With all due respect Mr. Trump, who cares if the two-party system is rigged? The two-party system was probably established to be rigged.

The problem is that the two party system for nominating presidential candidates is unconstitutional. But since most citizens grew up with political parties, they probably think that they must be a part of the Constitution. But here is what the Constitution actually says about electing a president.

”Article II, Section 1, Clause 2: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

12th Amendment: The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; ..."

The political parties are only not defined by the Constitution, but they exist to control 10th Amendment-protected state powers and associated state revenues that the corrupt Washington cartel has been stealing from the states since the end of the Civil War, and arguably since the administration of President George Washington imo.

In fact, note that one of the very few powers that the states have actually delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, to decide domestic policy is to regulate, tax and spend for the US Mail Service (1.8.7).

So a key question concerning the political parties is, how many political parties does it take to manage the US Mail Service?

I say none.

Remember in November !

If patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to not only support the president, but also surrender back to the states state powers and state revenues that the corrupt feds have been stealing from the states.

In fact, note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Once again Trump, all you had to do was show up!

That is stupid. It was rigged from the start even if Trump tried. Only a fool could not see it. Their plan was probably one of the other candidates, not Trump. When Trump kick ars and left only the three they decided it would be Cruz. Cruz didn't even have to visit them. Stupid rotten jackasses and were more like communists left or GOPe the establishment types. Lets keep the pot state safe is the only motto they had, and Trump might have destroyed their golden egg.

Cryin’ Don wants his own set of rules. Slowly, he’s learning there’s more to running for president than flying around in his personal jet, 20 minute speeches, calling into radio shows, and midnight Twitter rants.

I wonder if he’s given a minutes thought to a general election strategy? Probably not.

As Donald Trump calls out the GOP for it's corrupt behavior, and the Bernie Sanders camp is fighting to take back the delegates that Clinton has purchased.........is there any wonder why America's Veterans have organized such a massive movement to restore our representative government? I hear people tell me all kinds of things, most of which they truly believe. Most of which, I just respond with kindness and let them know when they are ready for real change, we will be here, and we are a strength that most will not understand for a long time. We are Of the People, By the People, and For the People, a group of selfless servants that truly understand what an oath means. It is not about lip service and winning votes. It is about taking a stand for what is right, taking a stand for liberty and justice for all Americans. When you finally realize that the two parties are too cancerous and corrupt at the top to be saved. We will be here, ready to do what needs to be done. There is a ton of work and we are always looking for additional leaders that can provide workable and Constitutional solutions to the very real problems we face. This is about uniting the divided nation. This is about bringing government back to the People, where it belongs. When you are ready, just remember this. ‪#‎IAMSOMEONE‬ and so are you, together ‪#‎WEARETHESOLUTION‬ www.ChrisKeniston2016.com www.VeteransPartyofAmerica.org www.vpofa.org

So Trump gets more men on base. But he can’t bring them home for a score. So he whines about the other team.

If Trump has 35% of the vote and 35% of the delegates who is cheating ... taking advantage of the rules?
