Nice take.....Manafort is key, to be sure.

[tennmountainman]

These were minions sent out by Cruz to try to cause chaos,
while Cruz hid in the shadows.

Cruz’s 15 minutes of fame is just about up.

Even his poll numbers in Texas are dropping.

Shame on Cruz for not stopping this nonsense by rejecting these
efforts with a public statement to his bots.

With you 100%. Lyin’ ted is a born loser. He was lucky for a while, few under the radar... but when it mattered most Trump exposed him for the rino/rat cry baby he is.
So bummed he is going, let alone SPEAKING at the convention ...but at the end of the day...that is as meaningless as he is.

[Theodore R.]

Liberals think open primaries recruit needed Democrats and Independents into the Republican primaries, and I guess they do!

[Huck]

Manafort exuded competence and toughness from day one, and he obviously knows how to play this game. His TV appearances are like child's play. Love that guy.

Re: Priebus -- it was noticable when he was clearly on the train. Good decision on his part.

[jazminerose]

Absolutely give credit to Manafort. Best delegate wrangler in the biz.

So where’s Billy Kristol?

[Liz]

Trump spent something like a mere $3-4 million and Hillary spent $50-60 million( that equals 1-2 Foundation donations)......... yet, Trump is tied or leading in most recent polls.

(evil laugh)....and her numbers started collapsing AFTER Boobamba flacked her on Air Force On and let her use the presidential dais.

The Royal Idiot is so enamored of himself, he actually thinks people care about his endorsements.

[mrsmith]

The RNC opposes closed early primaries because they generally favor the more conservatives candidates.
Cooch, like most conservatives, prefer them.

Here was a case where the ‘never Trumpers’ stupid ‘unbinding’ goal prevented Trump delegates from joining in reformers’ demands by forcing them to ally with the RNC.

We’ll see.

Cruz could have put a stop to this weeks ago, but instead he stood by and let the division fester.

IMO, he’s just following his Uniparty Masters’ orders.

I am so happy with our Republican ticket. Many prayers are up for their success in November.

I submit that it is of great importance that the little attention whore/church school teacher Kendal Unruh (the little upstart from Colorado) have her credentials REVOKED and be barred entry to the convention.

Even now, she is persisting in her division, subversion and undermining of our nominee, and her Facebook pages are magnets to all the little #nevertrumpers and their associated precious snowflakes, they need to be banned as well.

[Donglalinger]

The whole thing was an invention of the media who found a couple of Cruz crybabies and ran with the story

[Right-wing Librarian]

1000+ agreed.

But will Rence Priebus have the inner strength of resolve to actually do it? My guess is “No” because they don’t see them as the threats they actually are. They see them as part of the party they have to unite.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Cruz has been valuable in the past, I hope he will in the future as well.
He has to give up his dream of being President, though.
He is not a natural born citizen.

[Rastus]

She needs to get a real name. Kendal Unruh? Kendull unnngh.

[nascarnation]

Ted needs to disown his father and Glenn Beck and make a fresh start.

[JohnBrowdie]

the revolt only really existed in the imagination of the MSM in the first place . . . and a few hyterics on internet message forums. there was zero chance an actual “revolt” was going to take place.

In Jeb Bush's Washington Post column attempt to discredit Trump, he indicated that in response to Obama's actions:

"In turn, a few in the Republican Party responded by trying to out-polarize the president, making us seem anti-immigrant, anti-women, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-worker and anti-common-sense."

Further, Bush said, "Instead, they have given rise to the success of a candidate who continues to grotesquely manipulate the deeply felt anger of many Americans. Trump’s abrasive, Know Nothing-like nativist rhetoric has blocked out sober discourse about how to tackle America’s big challenges."

Is Bush so grossly disappointed about the millions of voters who flatly rejected his candidacy that he believes "sober discourse" among individual American citizens, millions among them highly educated, freedom-loving persons who, when asked, are willing to die for this nation's principles and liberties, is impossible and that they are so stupid that they fell for a con man's "nativist" (Bush's term) rhetoric in favor of Bush's own political views, aspirations, and presentations.

"The supposed grassroots movement was neither grassroots, nor was it a movement. It was AstroTurf," Ross said. "(Unbinding is) all as fake as somebody peddling aluminum siding on the Internet. It was not real, it was not a real movement. Fourteen million people supporting Donald Trump -- that's a movement."

Truer words were never spoken.
