Trump already won!

Trump has the

most Votes
most Contests
most Delegates

Any other alternative is aggressive rule against the people and for a tiny criminal plurality. Good luck to any Republican showing their face in public.

I've been trying to explain the math to Cruz supporters, but they choose to go all Barbie on me when I do........

After the next week and a half Cruz is toast, done, eliminated. He knows it, and for some strange reason (most sane people can guess why) he will stay until the bitter end. For some reason, his most ardent supporters don't understand he can never be the nominee. It's the math, stupid (to mangle a phrase from the 92 election).

....Teddy is a nut job who can't get out of his own way, who loves the sound of his own voice, who wants to RULE THE WORLD and set up a theocracy.....

That about sums it up.

Recall that St Ted said Trump supporters are inferior low-info types who couldn't possible understand the global challenges ahead.

Ted and Heidi Cruz/s economic libertarianism dovetails nicely w/ globalist Goldman/Sachs---who financed Ted into office. G/S is Heidi's $700,000 a year employer.

Heidi Cruz’ NAU comment is under Additional and Dissenting Opinions on pages 33 and 34 of the paper. Taken directly from the paper.

[quoting Heidi Cruz ...] "I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at building a safer and more prosperous North America. Economic prosperity and a world safe from terrorism and other security threats are no doubt inextricably linked. While governments play an invaluable role in both regards, we must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. "

"There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us—truly the measure of our success. "

"As such, investment funds and financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants." — Heidi S. Cruz

====================================

Cruz should tell voters:

<><> what role does he plan for his preacher father in the US govt?

<><> what govt job does he plan to give his G/S globalist lawyer wife?

<><> how will Goldman Sachs factor into the US govt if Ted was at the helm?

You arent going to have much to talk about after the end of April as Ted Cruz will be experiencing a good deal of pressure to drop out.

The assumption by the NeverTrump people is that if Trump should go into the convention even just 1 delegate short (1236) that he won’t be able to convince even a single uncommitted delegate to vote for him on the first ballot.

That’s not realistic.

The truth is, if Trump is in the ballpark (100 or so delegates short) he should be able to cobble together enough votes to bridge that gap. Cruz’s only hope is for Trump to be 200+ delegates short on the 1st ballot. An unlikely scenario.

Interesting radio chat between Hugh Hewitt and a Hillsdale college rep this AM. At first I thought it was a Cruz love fest, then the Hillsdale guy said something profound (paraphrase):

Cruz wins among Republicans, that’s why he is winning caucuses and closed primaries. But, Trump is pulling in a wider range of voters, the kind of voters you must pull in to win in November. The party needs to take that into consideration, because the real point of all this isn’t just to pick a nominee, it’s to win the November election.

I certainly hope so — Trump needs to get over the 1237 on the first ballot.

” what govt job does he plan to give his G/S globalist lawyer wife?

<><> how will Goldman Sachs factor into the US govt if Ted was at the helm? “

Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, calls the White House “Our D.C. branch office”

INHO, Blankfein rivals Soros on the evil chart.

Any more questions ?

I certainly hope so.

Trump will be the last chance for a generation for the GOP and for America.

Who else would waste a fortune trying to run against so firmly entrenched machines.
