LAS VEGAS — Ted Cruz has hundreds of influential Republican donors and Jewish leaders all to himself this weekend in Las Vegas as he addresses the Republican Jewish Coalition.

Cruz's rivals for the GOP presidential nomination, Donald Trump and John Kasich, declined invitations to attend — a puzzling move in particular for Trump as he tries to project himself as a party unifier who deserves the Republican nomination even if he falls short of winning enough delegates in the primaries to clinch it outright....

“hundreds of influential Republican donors and Jewish leaders”

If ever a group were assembled which could suck the fun out of Vegas, THIS is that group.

For once I wish what happened in Vegas actually did STAY in Vegas.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hyping that “ hundred” ares coming to meet Ted is an old trik St Ted uses to make it seem as if his organization put it together.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

He finds out what meetings are taking place-—organized months in advance for another purpose (without him or his staff).....then wrangles an invite to speak.

St Ted then sends out the word that ALL these peple came out just to see him.

Too bad Cruz couldn’t have been working for Trump. Ted is a detail wonk, and checks all aspects of his strategy.
Donald is more accustomed to delegating and outsourcing tasks. Each approach has it’s pros and cons.

Glad to see Cruz reaching out to all ends of the Republican base and giving a positive message and not lowering himself into the gutter slinging divisiveness that Trump continues to spew.

Trump already cleaned up in NV and he was the only one to receive standing ovation after standing ovation at AIPAC in DC.

This is more Cruz bloviating trying to make it seem like he’s got ‘momentum’ when actually he has a bunch of nothing dressed up to look like something material.

Donald is playing it right, concentrate now on his strongholds ahead and let Paul and Corey help him focus and get the message out.

He will get to 1237 easily but as reported this morning, “It’s More Than Just Winning”, it’s also about shutting down the Romney steal. Even with 1237+, Romney plans on hatching an attack via the Rules Committee.

No biggie— let Trump stay home for awhile and get some rest in here and there-—no biggie. Unfortunately most American Jews worship the Dem Party of liberalism.

Oh no, that’s going to mess up Geraldo’s ‘Cruz hates jews’ theory. Oh well.

The article says all three candidates were invited but Cruz is the only one who accepted.

How did you reach the conclusion that Cruz had to ‘wrangle’ an invite?

Yes, the experienced Corey can explain to Trump how to “reach out and touch somebody”.

The Japanese during WWII would not surrender even with nightly conventional bombing attacks over their largest cities. They would not surrender because to do so would be dishonorable and was thought to lose their entire culture and heritage, including their god-emperor.

It took the Hiroshima and Nagasaki to change their minds.

But at least, the Japanese held a notion of ‘Honor’. The Party of Romney has no honor. Lie-Cheat-Steal is their platform. Kind of like democrats.
