When you sign up as a new Contract Trump Poster, same with Manafort, your primary “to please” target is the DONEald. Fact and honor is not part of the job description.

“Manfort” (quoting you) will only tell Trump
“Its too late”, just before the last penny is grubable from the DONEald. That is what political consultants do.

My Oh My, a Freeper now quoting DAVID KORN? That Fabulous Trump Cliff must be getting very close.

how the heck has he managed in business?

To quote the DONEald “By buying local and State bureaucrats and politicians”.

"Trump keeps complaining that he doesn't get acknowledged for gaining yardage, when the purpose of the game is to score points."

And when the other team scores with a Field Goal, he claims it is cheating.

And he claims that him getting to the 90-yard line should count as a touchdown.

i have always said if he wins the nomination i will vote for him but he really reminds me of Obama.

If you want to look for a candidate that resembles Obama, look no further than Cruz. Cruz has the same background, education, and experience as Obama. Not that he'll ever be elected, but he'd just be Obama's third term.

We don't need more slimy lawyers politicians as president, they have already done enough damage.

Facts: Polling averages from 538

NY T-52, C-17

CT T-48, C-17

PA T-42, C-25

MD T-41, C-23

CA T-40, C-30

NJ (not recent) T-35, C-9

The fat lady is clearing her throat. Cruz won the battle in CO, but he lost the war. Shortsightedness and overarching ego will do that.

Another fact: I do not now nor have I ever received a penny from any candidate, PAC or anyone associated with a candidate or PAC. But thanks for the compliment. I must be effective at advocating for my preferred candidate if you’ve got that much butt hurt gong on. Sometimes reality bites.

90-yard line? Please discontinue all sports analogies. They do not apply.

"90-yard line? Please ..."

You must have missed Trump calling for riots if he gets to 1100 delegates and is not "automatically" the nominee.

Cruz sounds absolutely perfect! This is what we need in a conservative president. Someone who is confident in his abilities and unwilling to back down from a fight. We want someone who will get things done. The problem most people here have with the Republican party is that they're afraid to fight and they roll over anytime they think anyone is going to criticize them.

In other words, just like Obama. Obama, FYI, is not willing to compromise on anything. He submits outlandish budgets that are DOA, and refuses to discuss any changes to them... so we get late budgets, continuing resolutions, government shut downs and government workers losing their jobs--while the welfare rolls just keep growing.

Obama's refusal to work with others has been disastrous. How will Cruz's refusal to work with others be any different?

You actually don't get things done by alienating people and trying to strong arm them. You really do need to negotiate with them--and if you are skilled at it, you come to a compromise that benefits everyone.

On the one side, we have a lawyer with almost no real world experience, much less executive experience running things. On the other, we have a top-level business executive, who has built a business empire using his executive skills.

The presidency is an executive position. I know what my choice is.

hmm. I think CNN and DT should be investigated. My gold plated foil hat was spinning during Iowa. CNN reports carson is changing his clothes instead of campaigning, Steve king (supported by....Trump$$$) tweets the infamous tweet, DT gets his vet rally covered by CNN within 24 hours...Carson then supports DT. THAT is how things get done. Publicly, transparently, honestly.

my gold foil hat was spinning so fast I got burn marks on my head. I might have to get my hair styled so it covers my hairline and then goes backwards.

Are you off topic or are you just trolling.

90-yard line. Those awkward analogies are... awkward.

After Tuesday you’ll have to DOUBLE pack that crack pipe you’re smoking to get you through the mathematically impossible for Cruz to win anything other than a McDonald’s Big mac scenario.

Hope you have resume update and ready for June. This gig is almost over.

Save the apple polish for your handler. Even if claiming the Sun shall rise in the east, you have near zero creds here.

The concerted efforts Trump has made to bash the GOP Delegates and Convention, he will get turned out even at 1236. If he can get 1237 he better be ready to prove each delegate.

Someone just can not act this way and expect any good will or favors from those he has acted so nasty toward. Law of the Jungle (another rule Trump didn’t bother reading).

Why don’t you try to refute my facts instead of insult me? Oh, that’s right, you can’t. So you resort to baseless insinuations. Thanks for the entertainment.
