Wrong! There was party insider shenanigans that gave all the delegates to Cruz...

Where have you been?

At this point, in other election years, there was some sort of coalescence beginning to form with the front-runner. Even when that front-runner was not to everyone's liking.

Romney, McCain and Dole all got the party to unite to some extent even when people had to hold their noses, there was some sort of unity.

Not so with Donald Trump. In fact, the opposite is happening with him. And at this point I don't know how Trump can rectify it.

A good leader would know how to fix it without dragging everyone else into the gutter.

The rules were put in place to put rinos like Bush or Kasich in.... You really think they were trying to guarantee delegate for a true conservative like Cruz? ....If that’s the case, Trump really was fatally lazy by not making an appearance..... Unless you are including him in the RINO category.... Given his past, that is understandable.

Cruz's big deception that he is a conservative... wherein literally he is just another Harvard Law School grad, junior senator wanting to replace Obama. I notice NONE now claim Cruz follows the 'original intent' of the Constitution, like they use tooooo. Why, because Cruz could care less about the Constitution, and he thinks he is entitled.

That’s just nonsense and spread by the sore Losers who were not chosen as delegates.....nobody gave those delegates to Cruz let me tell you...but go ahead and keep drinking the kool aid.......I’ll take the word of those who were there and on the floor, and were in it from the beginning when they changed the rules.

Trump hasn’t even started on Hillary yet, and she’s struggling to beat an old socialist, so I don’t see too much trouble with Trump beating her. Heck, all he has to do is brand her with the proper nickname and she would dropped 10 points in the polls. It’s worked for him against every other candidate he’s faced so far.

And the party apparatus is working hard to unite behind the frontrunner this go-round, right?

Trump is not a uniter, he is a divider.

He hasn't started on Hillary because he's not going to....he doesn't know his own policy's let alone go after any body else on theirs...... you might just think about why he hasn't said anything about Hillary and ONLY Cruz has gone after her......and why he won't debate Cruz.... course you believe anything he says so let's drop it right here.

What are you even bothering about Mitch?.....Watch and make up your own mind what the plays are, who really has the power and who is using it, when and where. You’re giving the GOP too much power by believing them....they’ve been playing us for a long time so I don’t give them any mind at all when it comes to this election and what they think they can do.....

They’ve been trying to stop Cruz since he Washington...even from running for President and he’s out foxed the bums this far....just let him do what he’s doing and everyone will see the house of cards fall in Washington.

If you think Ted’s doing this just to win the Presidency then you need to look further...there’s a whole lot more going on then news sites and media tells you.
