The original post said "Most people vote for Trump". It wasnt "Trump received the most votes" or "Trump won the most states". Once again, most people DID NOT VOTE for Trump You cant just redefine words to meet your perception Doubling down on the pedantry I see. I guess FortyFiveAutomatic was correct. Carry on. The stark contrast between you and the majority of the other Cruz supporters in this thread continues to widen.

Don't mind me just popping OST and to laugh at all the people who think Hillary (who's about to lose another state to an admitted communist) could beat the mildly retarded guy that works at the tire shop downtown in the General. I could empty the Supermax Prison in Colorado and find you at least a dozen people that would beat her by 100 delegates. But by all means continue your whining. That seems to be about all yall are good at. View Quote It's hard to tell when you're being facetious, what with 1/2 of your recent posts detailing your entrance into porn. |

What do you think happens to those voters who voted clearly against the establishment? Add up Cruz and Trump's votes, the majority of those votes go away if you do that. So again, what's your plan? Kasich can manage to pull in one single state. That's it. Nobody else gives a fuck about him, because he's actually a democrat. Not kind of, not used to be, is.

Just an observation.... Much of the reason Trump has a "negative" rating is because of the supporters of other candidates' comments, and the news media picking up on it and running with it. Most trump supporters I've met have been supportive of Trump, but willing to support the nominee if hhe didn't get it. Cruz/Rubio/etc. Are generally fanatical about "THEIR candidate or nothing", and it directly reflects in media coverage. It also giarantees Hillary the win. There simply are NOT enough "conservatives" left to win an election on their own, and the vast majority of independant voters are NOT going to be comfortable voting for a pew-jumper. They are more concerned about the economy and the naton, and far less about abortion and what they perceive as an attempt to enforce religious beliefs on them. Use Trump as the bridge to bring in the independants. Show them conservatism works. Keep your religious views OUT of government (but protect them from attack). Shift the country back to the right over time. WIN. Don't fuck up by whining that you'll take your ball and go home. How exactly does bringing in a candidate who is not a conservative work when trying to show independents how conservatism works? And it depends on what your definition of "conservative" is.

How about a list of five(5) points regarding Cruz that define his "conservatism". Then the same for Trump. |

You reflexively attack anyone who does not toe your party line with name calling and other shit-slinging, because you can't allow for the possibility of any other thought outside your narrow "Trump is evil" bubble. These rules have not been applied "numerous times", and the times they have been have led the party to utter defeat. You don't have a candidate that can do what you want right now. I suspect that Trump will win, and will win fairly big, throughout the rest of the primaries, which will make all this moot -- but if he doesn't, and he comes up just shy of that number, and the party chooses some other establishment hack (and that includes Cruz), there's going to be hell to pay at the polls, and you get Hillary and you end the idea of a republican party for all time in America. Give me a break. I didnt attack you because you dont toe a party line. i assumed you were a Trump supporter because you used the exact same line of attack they do. and second, i suppose that if you think that brokered conventions lead to utter defeats, you've never heard of President Lincoln on President Eisenhower. ...and by the way, the second you call Cruz an "establishment hack", you reveal yourself to be either willfully misleading or a Trump supporter....not that there's a difference. I suppose i was right to begin with I didn't use any "line of attack". I'm not sure you know what that even means. Don't try to use the exception to prove the rule -- and who is your Lincoln and your Eisenhower? You don't have one. There isn't one. So try again. And Cruz? Yeah. I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. He's a politician's politician. He doesn't believe at least 80% of what he says. Have you watched him? |

Sorry if it's already been posted. I thought this thread would be the perfect place for this.....
Glenn Beck raped by Ted Cruz “I have to tell you, it’s been a hard Monday morning. We’ve all been raped by Ted Cruz,” Glenn Beck said during his online show this morning.
One of his co-hosts chimed in, “You can’t rape the willing, and we were all willing.” Glenn Beck’s rape jokes were just the start of a strange soliloquy about his relationship with Ted Cruz and how much Beck and his co-hosts adore the Republican presidential candidate. Glenn Beck goes on to describe how Ted Cruz romanced him and “backed [him] into a bathroom stall” just after an interview discussing the U.S. Constitution, which, according to Beck, left him “needing a cigarette.” “When he said to me, he said Glenn, we need a more perfect union, I thought he was talking to me about the Constitution but then he looked at me with those strong brown eyes, oh my gosh he backed me into a bathroom stall,” Glenn Beck said this morning during his online show for the Blaze.

If Cruz was really a "politician's politician" you'd think he would have more friends in the Senate. |

Just an observation.... Much of the reason Trump has a "negative" rating is because of the supporters of other candidates' comments, and the news media picking up on it and running with it. Most trump supporters I've met have been supportive of Trump, but willing to support the nominee if hhe didn't get it. Cruz/Rubio/etc. Are generally fanatical about "THEIR candidate or nothing", and it directly reflects in media coverage. It also giarantees Hillary the win. There simply are NOT enough "conservatives" left to win an election on their own, and the vast majority of independant voters are NOT going to be comfortable voting for a pew-jumper. They are more concerned about the economy and the naton, and far less about abortion and what they perceive as an attempt to enforce religious beliefs on them. Use Trump as the bridge to bring in the independants. Show them conservatism works. Keep your religious views OUT of government (but protect them from attack). Shift the country back to the right over time. WIN. Don't fuck up by whining that you'll take your ball and go home. This! Trump has negative numbers because he is a progressive and the majority of the Republican party can see it. He talks like a 3rd grader and has zero substance when he talks. Sadly there are enough that find that appealing and in a scattered field they fell behind the one at their level. |

He'll pick up some percentage of the "not Hillary" vote. Believing that he will overcome a 63% (average) unfavorable rating by picking up those votes is folly. I've been assured it's the media's fault that people hate Trump. Why would anyone have disdain for him beforehand? ~35% is not equal to most. In fact is well below most. |

Yes, you're playing semantics games. Winning "most" -- if you define it as 50% or greater -- of the votes is almost impossible in a 17 man field. It's less impossible in a 3 man field, but still difficult. And tell me again, which states has Cruz won with over 50% of the vote? Not even his own home state? And Kasich is just in the race as a spoiler. So tell me again, which less popular candidate is going to save the party at the brokered convention you keep hoping for, knowing that brokered convention is going to end the republican party, put Hillary in the white house for eight years, and permanently swing the court into a left-wing ideologue anti-Constitution decision factory?

I will vote for Trump if he wins the nomination.
What you guys do not understand (or want to admit )is that if trump does not win it out right Cruz hS a very good chance at the second vote. I think both sides agree on three things. Fuck obama Fuck hillary Fuck anyone except Trump and Cruz who thinks they will steal this nomination at the convention. |

Wisconsin is Tuesday. Maybe it will be dropped -along with one or more women coming forward to confirm the affairs - tomorrow. That would make sure Cruz doesn't have time to really refute the evidence before the voting.

Trump is the only one strong enough to win against the will of the party. Cruz has zero chance of that kind of upswell, |
