OK...

I don't think skipping a debate is playing the game pretty well

I don't think Tweeting like a bird brained high school mean girl cheerleader is playing the game well

I don't think not having a ground game in a state the REQUIRES it to win was playing the game well

I think focusing all attention on himself by being a raging asshole is playing one aspect of the game well... But not looking like you've got your shit together when all eyes are on you is NOT playing the game well

Building expectations and under delivering is not playing the game well... A smart campaigner manages expectations, exceeds them, and gains recognition for over performing

Quoted:
To me it seems like Trump is firing a shot across the GOPe bow. He's saying that he won't put up with their
shenanigans. I think there will be alot more important things they'll try to pull as the primaries go on.

To his resolve I say:

Ehh, he should let it go, he came in a strong 2nd, and unfortunately Cruz will not win New Hampshire...Trump probably will....suck it up...

Trumps numbers are already falling in NH. I think it'll be closer than people think.

The mailer, while you may not like it, does not bear any seals, statements that it is an official document,and was marked Paid for by Cruz for President with a Houston address right on the outside. Before even opening it you could see it was a campaign mailing. Whatever happened to personal responsibility around here?
