Trump is unapologetically PRO coal.
For example:

I watched him lie repeatedly while being interviewed on Megyn.
I know what a lie looks and sounds like, throwing around the Alinsky meme does not help your cause.
Ted lies.Educate yourself.

Ted Cruz Lies TEN Times in Under FIVE Minutes!
Have listened to the lies Cruz has told not to mention his voting record -TPA, Coker? The whole conservative act seems a facade or lie. If he lies he is LyinTed
First of all, is he an American citizen? I would hope that my representatives would require that he provide the records showing that his mother properly registered him with American officials when he was born in Canada.
Cruz, naming Fiorina as he choice for VP only proves he is a loser. He can go home now.
The People want an outsider. The more one learns about Cruz, the more he shows himself to be the consummate insider.
At this point, with the lead of Trump, anyone who votes for Cruz or Kasich or any pundits pushing for any candidate other than trump is only asking to stop Trump and go for a brokered convention and thus are rallying behind the GOP E. How stupid. You think these “smart” people like Levin etc would realize that.
“I have no idea what the Cruz campaign is thinking. Choosing Carly Fiorina is a disaster. Not only is it not classy to choose a VP when you are mathematically eliminated from a first ballot victory but he chose a person whose name is synonymous with laying off American workers and outsourcing their jobs overseas. Carly brings absolutely nothing to the table and can only hurt Cruz.”
You have to try and think like a scumbag. I think Team Cruz put Carly in because she’s a woman, figuring enough women on our side would be narrow-minded enough to vote for a ticket with her on it just because of that.
That is his ceiling, he cannot get over 75%.
Pray America wakes
But wait!
We have been told since last year that $cruz is soaring and Trump is dropping like a rock in re favorability.
Didn’t the combo of $narly and $cruz secure the nomination for the smartest $inator in the history of America.
IIRC, in the WV GOP primary there are about 200 candidates for delegate positions at the convention.
To avoid confusion, the Trump people have put out a slate
http://wvmetronews.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Trump-slate.pdf?75ddc6
That would be of Republicans and non-aligned. The general might be different. In 2012, Zer0 got only 35.54 of the WV vote.
So who’s going to be his VP nominee? Who’s he got in mind for SOS? Super models?
Uhm, sadly, Cruz's dishonesty is easy to document. He's told some whoppers along the way. The one I can't get over is lying about how his mom prays for him hours and hours daily. Even his mom rolled her eyes at that tall tale.
Exactly. His quest for the White House ended last Tuesday evening. At this point, every minute he remains in the race, he is forcing Trump to needlessly fight a two-front war. Cruz needs to grow up, bow out, endorse Trump and end this quixotic crusade.
In case nobody has noticed, Hillary has already shifted into General Election mode and it isn't against Cruz. She has no delusions about who her opponent will be.
Don’t sell Cruz short. He can be quite the sleezebag himself.
Naming a VP has been done before. It didn’t help reagan, either. I suspect Fiorina pushed it, and it shows. She brings little, yet she appears to have taken over his campaign.

Articles on the West Virginia Republican delegate selection process:
Think you’re voting for president in GOP Primary? Think again from MetroNews. Note that no more than 7 can come from each congressional district and no more than 2 can come from the same county.
Trump likely to win West Virginia but lose delegates. An arcane ballot process, complex rules and even the alphabet threaten to hold Trump back from Politico.

They transfered the $500,000 from Ted PAC to Carly PAC, remember?
He owes her something. The transfer is nine days after his Amanda left his campaign for a free-lance job. Something more behind the scenes has transpired. His puppeteers are likely forcing him to stay in the race.
