Why didn't Rubio and Carson hang in there after they were mathematically eliminated?

It is people like you who make the rift one which will not be healed. The GOP is done as a force, Trump will FAIL (LOSER!), and the Republic will only be saved by BITS.

Be proud of yourself, and spread it to your helpers.

Clap.

Clap.

Sell your soul to that devil if you want to. It’s your eternity, pal. Go for it. Make the Deal!!! It’s YUUUUUGE! (actually, as much of a pain in the anus you are, I’d rather you saw the light.) But, hey, it’s your party.

my candidate never sent his wife out proclaiming he is the “face of god” to show us all...

nor did he have Glen Beck “falsely swear” him in as president, while prophesying about being the chosen one, the priesthood arising...

within the LDS theological cult, by a supposed Christian born again believer... of the evangelical variety.

waste your vote and be happy, or invest your vote and stop the darkness NOW.

How nice of you to post your picture! Really. Does your mommy know you are on the computer again? Or is she out with the boys?

How typical, to take a well known term and assign it a different value. Sort of like Trumpsters have done with "conservative".

I did a google acronym search... nothing made any sense there...
Perhaps you would care to enlighten us as to your intended true whatever meaning it has to you...

but if its another “face of god” type of acclamation regarding ted or his involvement with mormonist Glen Beck or Mittens the Romney... you don’t have to waste your keystrokes posting to such an lowlife as me.

Poor Teddy Joe. CAn't even come up with an original thought. Every body knows the point I made. Your poor attempt at deflection is just a little late to the party.

Are you just another sleazy lawyer?

I have a little theory in progress about this:

It's common knowledge of course that Cruz is very unpopular with his colleagues in the Senate and the establishment as a whole. Yet this same establishment came to support him as Cruz became the only viable "neverTrump" vessel.

Cruz, if he remains in, is doing serious damage to his career as a politician. His stance that a convention win against the will of the people doesn't sit well to a vast percentage of the Republican voters. Couple that with the crowing about landslide wins in voter-less elections and you have a seriously diminished candidate.

So my theory is that the establishment who started out as "neverTrump" are starting to see the inevitable in that Trump is going to be the nominee. This same establishment is now pushing Cruz to alienate himself from a large segment of voters and therefore damage himself so fully that he will not get reelected in his Senate race.

They may have been forced to accept Trump, but they will have gotten rid of Cruz.

What profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?


ah yess, the wind up for dismount is on its way, via “the vote based salvation...”
and here I thought salvation was by virtue of Jesus Christ.

Slander is when its not true. Sadly Ted Cruz is just not what he pretends to be.

Remember this reply?

“Can Donald Trump really hit 1,237 before Cleveland?”

http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/20/politics/donald-trump-ted-cruz-1237-delegates/index.html

LOL I was just thinking how similar this election is to when I used to watch the Eagles with Cunningham and “Buddy-ball.” Never knew until the last play.

ROTFLMAO! I see.

You haven't been here very long at all, have you?

A mite wet behind the old modem, eh? Just long enough to spew the glories of your alleged demigod, but not long enough to make an 'about' page, check off what state you are from, or even post a favorite quote. I guess it would be perfectly "normal" for you to not understand simple acronyms like FMCDH, DILLIGAF, Of BITS. I would bet YITBOS is lost on you, right along with BOHICA, ESAD, and GFYS. You might not even understand FUBO, for all I know.

Maybe someone else can help you.

See, I'm not sure if you guys get paid by the word, by the post, or by the hour, but you have done a wonderful job. See you in the funnies.

Until a candidate achieves the 1237 votes required to secure the (R) nomination they are mathematically eliminated from the nomination, are they not?


With all due respect, I disagree.

At the start of the primary process, no one was mathematically eliminated.

However, at this point, Cruz and Kasich would need to receive over 100% of the remaining delegates to get to 1237, so they actually are mathematically eliminated from the nomination on the first ballot. Cruz needs 109%. Trump can achieve the nomination with 63 percent (Slate).

Why do they stay in when clearly Trump has the path and the popular vote?

Poor Teddy Bare. Your messiah is failing to get the people to vote for him, and Teddy Bares are getting into panic mode. Teddy Bare is a LOSER and so are his drones.

Maybe you will grow up into the little girl you sound like now!

Poor Teddy Bare. Teddy is LOSING!

Trump has won exactly nothing. The master of the “art of the deal” should probably be aware that you actually have to CLOSE the deal.

Well, nothing aside from the most states, the most delegates and the most votes. But never mind that, let a few thousand corrupt hacks decide! No doubt they really care about the average Republican and will look out for our interests. /s

Even more sadly, Deceiving Donald is as genuine as an Oprah car giveaway. You pay your money, you takes your choice, but you for damned sure pay your money.

By the time he's done, this guy will make Sherman look like a vacuum cleaner salesman.
