Cruz Slams Trump: Campaign Seems Incapable Of 'Running A Lemonade Stand'
Hannity.com ^ | April 19th, 2016 | by Hannity.com Staff

Texas Senator Ted Cruz is dismissing charges from the Trump campaign that his recent delegate victories in states like Colorado and Wyoming are a result of an unfair and arcane primary system. In a interview on The Sean Hannity Show, Cruz accused the Trump campaign pushing a narrative that claims that the primary system is rigged.

"All of this noise and complaining and whining has come from the Trump campaign because they don't like the fact that they've lost five election in a row," Cruz said on Tuesday. The Texas Senator noted that 1.3 million people have participated in the recent contests despite some calling them 'voteless elections'.

"Republicans are uniting behind our campaigns so they are screaming on Drudge--and it's getting echoed--this notion of 'voteless elections' it is nonsense," Cruz said.

Cruz credited his grassroots support with his recent string of successes. He also explained that Trump's loss is not a result of skulduggery on the part of his campaign, but on a lack of organizational skill from Trump's.

"Donald Trump's campaign does not know how to organize on the grassroots, and so when the delegates are elected the real conservative activists show up, they elect delegates and we are winning those elections over and over and over again," Senator Cruz explained to Sean. "I cannot help that the Donald Trump campaign does not seem capable of running a lemonade stand."

Oh yeah, he’s also created a ton of jobs and the like in the private sector. I’ve only created or enabled a few (about 20) — and that was not easy.

But yeah, Trump has done nothing...

Cruz did two times work in private practice, but could not make enough $, so had to go back to work for the government, so gets high pay for little work.

"This is a later tweet. Yes, only about 100 so far — not many, but more than 22. But it’s an intimate venue."

When was the last time Washington State mattered in conservative politics? Help me out here ... 4 years ago? 10 years ago? Whats that you say? When the whole nation minus one jagoff state gave Magnus his 2nd term? Over 2 decades ago? Nice “work” there, logger...

It was 100 an hour before the event began.

Yes, it was an intimate event. Not the crowds that Trump collects.

Cruz has demonstrated that it’s not crowd size that matters, but the quality of the personal connections.

An outsider beats a professional politician by millions of votes and about 300 delegates and sCruz has the nerve to say what he says. DELUSIONAL!

That's one for the ages. How is this quality measured? Were they vetted and weeded down to 100 before the event to ensure quality of personal connections? Or, was it just one of those random, luck of the draw sort of things? You know, serindipitous?

Will you vote for Cruz if he’s elected as the Republican nominee for President?

If not, I dare you to ping Jim Robinson and tell him that you’re a “never Cruzer.”

Lemonade stand?
Why, Sleazy tRump couldn't run a lemonade stand if his life depended upon it. This hapless, incompetent fool has no business running for dog catcher let alone president.

I already answered - I’ve said over and over that I will vote for Cruz if he is the nominee.

And I asked you - will you vote for Trump if he’s the nominee??

I agree with JR - that Cruz should drop out.
