Missouri secretary of state officially calls state for Trump, Clinton

You stated: "I HAVE stated many times that IF Trump secures the nomination, I will vote for him. ( as long as at that time he is still running as a semi-conservative. and if he doesn't move to the left of Hillary in the general)"

In that I am in complete agreement with you. Another democrat in power following Stephen Barnard Dunham's )aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barak Hussein Obama) regime would likely end the Republic.

“Trump edging out Cruz 40.8%-40.6%, or by fewer than 2,000 votes in the March 15 primary. The additional 12 delegates give Trump”

This is crooked as Hades. That crooked, deceitful Donald is cheating again. So, an additional 0.2% of the vote buys you an additional 12 delegates, thus disproportionately disenfranchising the voters who voted for someone else? This is crooked and fixed and should not stand.

lolololololololol

Cruz was/is perceived to be the more conservative of the two. Thus he won heavily in SW Missouri, the most conservative area of the state.

However, come November, if Trump is our candidate, most, if not all Cruz voters will vote FOR Trump.

Okay, so the MO rules are pretty standard and they were followed, by rules which respect the voter choice. That’s very different from what happened in Colorado.

"...edging out Cruz 40.8%-40.6%, or by fewer than 2,000 votes in the March 15 primary.”
As they say in New York City, this is not fair!

Wasn't it only this morning that I heard Trump whining about "one man one vote"?

[Harpotoo]

Well at least he’s the most outside of the insiders!

First they spent tens of millions trying to boost their favorite presidential candidates, then they poured cash into ads attacking Donald Trump, and now some of the biggest donors on the right are turning their attention to the delegate fight.

Anti-Trump billionaires are funding ground operations in an increasing number of states to try to ensure the selection of national convention delegates who oppose Trump.

[eartick]

Not going to be a second round.

Keep saying that after the third and fourth

They are probably very concerned that he still believes like he did in 2000, that he wants to one time tax everyone in America's net worth at 14.5%.

I am personally very concerned about that too.

But who knows what he really believes now? Or tomorrow for that matter? But I sure don't want all my assets taxed 14.5% when he takes office, and then back to a regular tax and spend process.

[Ciexyz]

Good news.

[CatDancer]

“That’s OK Cruz got all the MO delegates for the second round
“

No, he didn’t.

Were you at a MO district caucus? I was.

Have you spoken with MO Trump delegates since then? I did, last night.

Don’t lie about things you don’t know.

“A cruzbano can’t tell the difference between people voting and delgates being selected by insiders”

Still, it is not fair.

It is just not fair.

Not fair.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Huh? Such contorted thinking it makes you look rather silly.

[patriotspride]

saw him bragging about his 11 state wins and yet never mentions Trump has twice as many as that and 7 of those states he got are where the establishment control and not the voters.

---

Glad someone else see it that clearly. I fault the media for not correcting him when he uses that 11 win nonsense , as i understand it he doesn’t meet the 8 state minimum yet, and hopefully never will, but they let him crow on about 11 with no definition.

[Iowa David]

It was a joke.

[manc]

the media are just giving him a pass until they need to attack him.

As I remember it, about 1999 Trump filed papers to run in most states on the Reform Part ticket. One of his proposals called for a one time tax on ASSETS not income, but on ASSETS over ten million I believe of about 14% . To pay off the deficit. When informed by economists that it wasn't enough, he said “ Then it might have to be on more people with less assets. The deficit is now over twice what it was then. If he still believes what he believed then - his 14% tax on ASSETS to pay off the debt would have to reach down to people in the neighborhood of a million in assets. That is owning a nice home in California. Or an average home in most states coupled with a lifetime of savings in a 401k . That's what I think many people might be concerned about. If you have only been following Trump the past year, you may be unaware of his many previous ideas for most of his adult life.
