He may be mathematically eliminated, but he won’t quit. He is now the Uniparty’s tool to stop the citizens from electing anyone who would stop The Cheap Labor Express.

Perhaps what we really need is to have an old fashioned debate between Cruz and Trump and allow them the chance to discuss the differences in their policies, instead of the constant back and forth personal affronts that you see on this forum. Does all of this personal attack stuff really gain anyone anything? Are the candidates not willing to debate each other, mano a mano, or are they intimidated by moderators such as Megan Kelly, Chris Wallace, etc.?

Ted cruz is a sick and twisted nut job. Of course if a horse head appeared in his bed he’d cheat on his wife with it.

Trump has shown no signs of being a sadist. hes handed Cruz his ass in what 10 debates so far... So no the Globalist lawyer is not going to get a media bump off the back of the guy who defeated him so many times before.

Actually pretty smart move. Everyone sees Trump as angry and a bit unhinged. Now you point out that Trumps campaign is de facto threatening people, and the campaign starts to look even less acceptable. The narrative is going Cruz way.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the difference between having a smart lawyer in charge or having an experienced businessman.

Ted Cruz, the smart lawyer, tries to figure out how to get what he needs by working within the rules of the system. Since the rules aren’t intended to do what he needs, he twists and distorts them. He thought that what he was doing in Colorado is brilliant, and he thought that filling the Trump delegations with anti-Trump people was brilliant. He is oblivious to the way that this looks to regular people.

Trump, on the other hand, is changing the environment. he is making these actions unacceptable by helping people to understand how undemocratic they are, and how they are intended to thwart the will of the people.

Their battle reminds me of the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indian Jones, Harrison Ford’s character, is confronted by the sword-wielding man in the streets of Cairo. It looks like there is no way that he can beat that guy. Instead, Indiana Jones pulls out a gun and shoots him. The sword guy mastered his skill within the existing system of rules. Jones changed the rules.

I would rather have someone like Trump in charge, with all of his executive experience, rather than the best, smartest, most experienced attorney. Sometimes the situation has to be changed, not outsmarted.

Cruz and his campaign put the CON in Conservative.

He’s a desperate Stealth Bush, who knows that he’s in for a real thrashing over the next few weeks, and that more and more people are figuring out that he is a fraud.

Thank you for that link. Manafort made a point that is usually lost, and that is that he (and Trump) don't object to the rules, and they don't object to what looks like a "closed" method of selecting delegates, as opposed to, for example, a public primary. The rules are fine. I know that isn't what Trump is saying, but Trump's message is for the masses, and Manafort's point is too subtle.

Manafort's claim is that the rules are not being applied evenly, and that this "pattern" holds not just in Colorado, but in other states. He assigns responsibility for this to local people, not the Trump campaign, and not coordinated by the RNC. Those are all good, level-headed, not over-reaching claims.

He noted that challenges to delegates will be filed, I assume based on specific allegations of not following the state rules, but didn't express any particular confidence that the objections would be settled in Trump's favor.

“This doesn’t belong in the elctoral process. And I think Donald needs to renounce this incitement of violence, he needs to stop asking his supporters at rallies to punch people in the face. And he needs to fire the people responsible.”

This from the guy who attended a ‘kill the gays’ rally.

You know what is crazy? Winston Churchill could have ran for President here, based on the NJ decision yesterday.
