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

Posted on 04/19/2016 5:18:18 PM PDT by Mariner

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."

New York values?
When is the last time New York voted Republican for president?
Instead New York City votes for a die hard communist, Bill Deblasio for mayor.

Haven’t you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?

Isaiah 54
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 717). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Every time Donald Trump says, “I love you!” to a crowd, I am reminded when Jesus said:
John 13
34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1047). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Trump can run a lemonade stand. He sure was able to turn lemons into lemonade with the GOPE/Cruz (but I repeat myself) Colorado delegate theft...

If Trump is so bad at running a Presidential campaign, what does that say about Ted Cruz?

I guess Ted Cruz is very lucky that Trump's competence at running a campaign is so marginal, otherwise he'd really be losing!

Oh, wait...

Vote Trump

Theo can’t afford to risk the zot by claiming #nevertrump: his Uniparty contract stipulates he earns no income if he can’t ‘work’ on FR. :)

Just teasing you tonight on Trump night, Theo!

Go Trump Go!

From Cruz's college room mate (and now successful Hollywood writer):

HAHAHAH, guy who worked for Bush and is now a sitting U.S. Senator is the "outsider." Whatever it takes, chameleon. https://t.co/jNblKcoAzt— Craig Mazin (@clmazin) April 20, 2016

In the Hannity interview Mr. Cruz called a huge group of Americans “Trumpsters”.

Nice.

Cruz reveals his contempt for these Americans yet wants them to vote for him if he wins the nomination.

The Donald has done nothing for this country.

So the tens of thousands of jobs provided by Trump are nothing?

Wow, you're a special little snowflake aren't you.

Will you be huddled by the radio in the morning crying with Glenn Beck about Cruz's loss?

“they don’t like the fact that they’ve lost five election in a row,”

Three small caucuses that didn’t amount to peanuts, plus two conventions where party bosses gave Cruz the delegates. No one voted.

Cruz is a lowlife scumball who was mathematically eliminated tonight but of course refuses to get out. He knows the GOPe who control the convention will give him the nomination on the second ballot, and to hell with the winner of the most delegates coming in and the clear-cut choice of the voters by millions of votes. Hillary Clinton will beat Cruz like a drum and the republican party will be finished for the next 20 years, maybe never to win another election.

Since the primaries began Cruz has managed to win 8 small caucuses and 3 primaries, one in Texas, where most voted against him, one in little Texas, also known as OK, where Trump got as many delegates, and Wisconsin, where the entire GOP apparatus of the state got behind him.

Donald Trump has summarily destroyed Cruz all over the country in 22 contests, has an almost 300 delegate lead on him and millions of more voters. But Cruz will tell you how he’s won state after state and has “crushed” Trump and the American people are behind him. What a delusional POS.

Sponsoring laws?

If anything they need to be getting RiD of some laws, not making more.

Trump is accused of being a liberal, but Cruz went to a liberal university, and is absolutely inept as a Senator, is a globalist, is married to a globalist. Any thing he uses as a mask to pretend to be a conservative, is exactly that...a mask to hide the globalism that sticks out on his lying nose like a wart.

He might be a conservative globalist, but it’s an ungodly agenda no matter how he tries to paint it, lemons and all.

That might be what GOP-e are telling Cruz. But does anybody here really believe that they won't stab Cruz in the back and give the nomination to Kasich, Romney, or ¡Yeb!? Seriously.

Spring 2014. That is when Cruz decided to hire Jeff Roe to run his Presidential campaign. Two years ago.

Trump started much later. Plus, I think Trump is actually shocked that he has gone as far as this.

Its game on now!
