And Tuesday Trump will get over 80 of the 95 delegates in a state where they actually let REAL PEOPLE vote in a voting booth the way we have always done it until the GOP E took the vote away from people and gave it to party members

You mean the state that is run by liberals for liberals and puts people like Bloomberg the Red and Hillary Clinton in office?

Just goes to show that you’ve bought into the ‘they took away the voting booth” b.s. and don’t know your history about state parties selection methods.

Some states have primaries where voters vote—and some do not. This is nothing new. Caucus states have been around for decades and all candidates know which are which. And the smart ones build organizations to obtain those delegates by caucus or whatever.

Trump didn’t build organization that could compete in some caucus states and now wants to pull the wool over your eyes by screaming that the regular party officials are responsible for his lack of effort or understanding of the process. Sounds like a guy who wants everyone to play his way or take the ball and go home.

A good friend of yours could, would, should — take you aside privately for a moment and drive home just how abjectly foolish your comments look here. It’s an embarrassment to both FR and the campaign of the charlatan who’s building nothing but media brand, whom you support.

My preference is for primaries when making a choice for front runner.

“Lying Ted”???

Personal attacks are both unnecessary and unhelpful. Does anyone benefit other than Hillary, Bernie, Jeb, Rubio, Kasich, and others who consistently support Amnesty, who consistently support Obamacare, and who consistently support restrictions on our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms?

Decent Americans are better off with a real truce, and not just a “I’ll stop when every person who even pretends to support the other side stops” gesture toward a truce that will never happen.

The nonsense is not helping us to elect the best possible conservative in November. I want 99% or more of Cruz supporters to vote Trump, when he is nominated, even if they hold their noses. In the event that Cruz wins the nomination, I want 99% or more of Trump supporters to vote Cruz, even if they hold their noses. Offending the other side does not encourage them to vote Trump (or Cruz) in November.

I cannot help wondering how many of those who stir up the Trump-Cruz wars are actually paid trolls taking Jeb/Hillary/Soros money to cause trouble - not all of them but probably enough to set the toxic tone.

I stand by my recurring statement:

Cruz and Trump are both imperfect but they agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such.

“Trump will get over 80 of the 95 delegates in a state”

******

In the State of New York. Land of libtards. I trust the votes of 10 people in Wyoming over 10 million in New York.

Frankly, they should disqualify New York from having any say whatsoever in selecting the GOP nominee because the state has shown time and again that it is unfit to elect anyone but crooks, socialists, and a combination of the two.

That being said, I’ll still vote for Trump in November if he is the GOP nominee. Just don’t make it a point of pride or accomplishment that New York’s opinion on anything is worth even a warm bucket of spit beyond the East Coast.

Why don’t you wait until Wednesday to brag.

When Trump loses two factors emerge.

Either he was cheated or the state was too small to bother with.

How many delegates did tRump lose in Georgia by sleeping in again and expecting them to jump onto his silver platter?

This rich boy amazes me. Expects his lil mice to come to his beckoning call without putting in the work.

Yep, Citizens vote and the keep voting right up until the convention after the primaries call district conventions. Something tRump does not know about because he does not know squat about our political system of government that we participate in. The only system he knows is, open his wallet and pay off the people to get what he wants.

These are "real people" that vote at the district conventions. Real people that do more than just go to rallies to buy Tshirts and ball caps and wave mass produced signs. They participate in the political process by getting up and spending a day caucusing, then voting.

The idea of not engaging in the political process chosen by a state if you are SERIOUS about running for the presidency is ABSURD. The process has been engaged in by every Republican and Democrat who’s run for the presidency before. A candidate suddenly coming in now and whining about it after he lost is just embarrassing.

Trump promised he can hire the best people. Why did Cruz manage to hire someone better to navigate the election rules and fund a reasonable campaign? Why did Cruz actually show up to speak at the caucus while Trump didn’t bother? Is Trump the new low-energy candidate in the race?

Is Trump part of the “everybody gets a trophy” movement?
