Has To Bribe Delegates To Win , Ah ,that’s why they created Delegates
Wow, talk about a career imploding before our eyes. Sorry Ted, you need to break away from your establishment handlers or your future is toast!
The true reason why Cruz did not answer Hannity the other day where he instead launched into attacking Trump without answering Hannity’s question.
I’m so glad Ted Cruz will never be a national candidate again. He is just unlikable and creepy. He would have never made it this far or through the early states if it wasn’t for the constant praise from Rush Limbaugh, conservative writers and the evangelical leaders.
In before the:
“But... but... but... Those are the RULES!!! We’ve ALWAYS done it that way! Why does Donald Trump think he’s exempt from the RULES???”
Trump respects voters wishes I have yet to hear him prying at delegates that Cruz fairly won. Cruz supporters are all into manipulation if Cruz does it after all that is the "rule". TPA, Coker, NAU, lies, or having the Bush cabal on his team mean nothing to them. But they want to claim petty issues with Trump.
If it were not for Trump many of us would still believe the fairytale that there are 2 parties and that many who claim to be conservative are only there for their own benefit.
But accising Cruz of actial bribery is quite difference. If Trump has actual evidence of that, then he should do us all a favor and reveal it. But if he's just making up a smear because it plays well with some voters, that's reprehensible.
Trump speaks ill of others all the time.
Just what do people believe his Presidency will be?
Only long chain of insults.
Let’s name some names.
Who has been bribed, and what did they get?
In my opinion delegates should exist only as safeguards in case the candidate flips out or refuses to resign if caught in a scandal. Then they can hash it out on the convention floor but not to rob a viable front runner of their victory the voters elected.
Tuesday is going to be ugly around here...
It’s not a bribe for Cruz (or Trump) to court delegates. That includes several nice meals each, which I have saying for months that Trump should provide for delegates (including those pledged to Trump), while a Cruz (or Trump) official explains to them why Trump (or Cruz) would be a great general election candidate and a great nominee. It’s not a bribe for Trump (or Cruz) to fly delegates to a resort for a weekend for the same sorts of discussions an hour a day, with the delegate spending the rest of the weekend with the family discussing whether they like Trump (or Cruz).
It’s not a bribe to pay attention to these delegates and make them feel valued. Those who have been delegates before expect it, and I am disappointed that Trump for whatever reasons won’t compete for the loyalty of delegates. Perhaps it shouldn’t be that way, but that’s not relevant. It’s like saying a woman shouldn’t have to be afraid at midnight in Central Park. Okay, she shouldn’t. But she’s a fool if she doesn’t recognize reality and deal with it effectively.
Perhaps Trump shouldn’t have to court his own delegates and others, but I will blame him if he falls even one vote short in the first round ballot at the convention. There is no realistic chance that Trump’s delegate totals will go up on later ballots, unless he’s doing exactly what he condemns. I will certainly blame the system and some individuals (Kasich most of all if that big-government liberal gets the nomination), but most of the blame will appropriately fall on Trump who has been warned so many times that there is no excuse for mishandling the delegate battle.
As for Cruz, he will have fewer delegates than Trump but more loyal ones. I will blame Cruz if he doesn’t make the right deal at the right time (which is after the final convention rules have been approved, so the establishment cannot respond to the new Trump-Cruz dynamic). I will blame Cruz and the Trump delegates if those Trump delegates defect to Cruz. However, I will also blame Trump if he doesn’t make the right deal with Cruz at the right time. I am 100% certain that both will know when that times comes, because it will be obvious, and it’s not yet, not until the rules are approved and they can game the rules (admittedly, a Cruz specialty).
The hardest part is converting Canadian dollars to US.
“Cruz always gets straight A’s; that means he stole all of the other A’s from me, ‘cause I could only get B’s and C’s! Bwaaaa!”
Ted Cruz has turned into a turd. A particularly nasty one at that.
