Not a conspiracy. Happening right before our eyes. Too bad so many fell for it.
“[Trump would] lose state after state after state and the media would say that he can’t be beaten ... and the media liked to paint me as some whacked-out theocrat,” Cruz told me on Friday, sitting at a table in the common area of his Washington, D.C., apartment building as his 5-year-daughter tried to coax him upstairs for supper.
and then Ted went off to boink 8 different wiminz - because it was in the National Enquirer.
“I think many of the mainstream media players are liberal Democrats,” Cruz explained. “They intend to vote for Hillary. They believed Donald was the easiest candidate for Hillary to beat. And I think many of them wanted him to win the nomination. I don't think it was innocent decision-making behind this.”
He also thinks Bernie Sanders got the same shaft from a news media that declared him prematurely dead. “I think Hillary’s nomination and I think Donald Trump’s nomination, I think the media played decisive roles in both of them,”
Crazy talk. the pro-democrat hack press are honorable. They'd never do that!
" Trump needs “Lyin’ Ted” a whole lot more than Cruz needs him as this point, which is why he ceded a central prime-time slot to someone who is so lukewarm to him. There weren’t enough Cruz supporters to put him over the top, but his numbers are simply too good for Trump to ignore. The first-term senator won 8 million votes, 600 delegates and 12 states. He raised nearly $92 million — a record for a GOP primary candidate, much of it from small online donors. He ran by far the best ground operation of any GOP campaign this year, with more than 325,000 volunteers flocking to Cruz’s call for a grass-roots Republican renewal.
What does trump have ? - No ground game, little money, no ads, and the hack press who will now drop him and a bunch of dupes for supporters. yay.
"True, Sanders stands for everything he hates (“Half of young people think socialism is a good idea!” Cruz said incredulously), but he sees his fellow silver medalist as a something of a kindred spirit: both screwed by the Trump-Clinton-media axis, both in touch with the ever-rising tide of anger at Washington, especially among younger voters."
Sounds like the sort of thing the One True Ted would be a part of.

Gee, they kept saying he had no ground game until the One True Ted started losing.

You send away with a Cheerios box top for that?
PS Robert Taft, Jr was one of the most thoughtful politicians of his time. He very rightfully questioned the validity of the Nuremberg trials, as they set a dangerous precedent in international law for the winners executing the losers.
Ted Cruz said, ‘Listen, Bernie talks about how Washington is corrupt, both parties are in bed with the lobbyists and special interests. I think he's exactly right.’
That hurts Jeb Bush a helluva a lot than it does Donald Trump.
@edutcher. Yes, yes, and yes. My grandfather was keen Taft supporter, according to my father (I don't remember the former -- he died when I was 2). But Taft was wrong for 1952 and Ike was right. Like Donald Trump, Ike was accused of being too liberal. But Ike garnered crossover votes. Neither Taft nor Ted could do that.
chick, anybody with a brain knew it was Ike or MacArthur in '52 and Ike was the safer choice.
PS Sheriff David Clarke gets a standing ovation after denouncing Hillary and groups like BlackLives as he gives a rousing personal as well as political endorsement of The Donald.
PPS Ms Kelly informs us the Demos will have the Gentle Giant's mom as an honored speaker.
As I've said before and certainly not first: Republicans have had their revolution. It's time the Dems do too. But they can't/won't because of massive cronyism. The Dems are the conservative/let's not change party. In fact, they look more and more suicidal all the time. The titular* head of the Party still blaming whites for Dallas and Baton Rogue. _______________
*No, I don't mean it that way. The pun doesn't work with her.
Had the National Review existed in 1952, they would have been for Taft. That's the analogy in nutshell. The conservative eggheads are different than the American electorate (thank God).
No, the Hildabeast is still in the 60s, beating the same old drum and the core is getting older and sparser.
She peddles nostalgia (good point, chick), witness how she said she'd put Willie in charge of fixing the economy, he who gave us the subprime mortgage mess. The peace and prosperity they claimed was Reagan's and they coasted on it.
As more people are faced with the reality of the mess the 60s Lefties have created, it's going to be harder to sell the illusion. To get what he wanted, Black Narcissus had to destroy the prosperity of america, or at least, not rebuild it after the housing bust.
Hillary would have to be the greatest saleswoman in history to make people believe she can bring back the Good Old Days. But all she wants is the anarchy and division of the 60s.
And that's not going to sell.

"Every single other Republican candidate is going to cut the hell out of your Social Security."
"The economy does better under the Democrats." "I like universal healthcare." "Hillary Clinton is a terrific woman. She's a really good person."
"You have to give them a path. You have 20 million, 30 million, nobody knows what it is. It used to be 11 million. Now, today I hear it’s 11, but I don’t think it’s 11. I actually heard you probably have 30 million. You have to give them a path, and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that."
The real grass roots are the people who want to get the big fraud Hillary stalking horse orange boob out of there.
I hope whole states walk out. Probably won't happen. So far this convention is a sad joke.
"And just like that, for the second time in four days, the Rules chairman took the stage, called for a voice vote on the new rules package, and promptly declared the rules passed despite the petition for a roll call vote being in good order. The system is absolutely rigged — in Trump’s favor. Anti-Trump delegates began booing and chanting “shame” after the ruling; Mike Lee and Ken Cuccinelli are loudly protesting on cable news as I write this. Stand by."
The real grass roots are the people who want to get the big fraud Hillary stalking horse orange boob out of there.

Get it through your head, they couldn't even win by cheating.
Conventions go by voice votes all the time. If you had ever watched one. When Trump goes over the top Wednesday night, they'll ask for a voice vote to make it unanimous. Happens every convention.
PS I hope they walk out, too. Nobody will notice and, when they get back home, their careers in politics are over.
Turns out, Trump doesn't want or need Ohio to win.
"Trump's team insists that by the end of the week, Republicans will plunge into the general election campaign united in their mission to defeat Clinton. But campaign officials undermined their own effort Monday by picking a fight with Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who is not attending the convention and has yet to endorse Trump."
Manafort, in remarks to reporters at a Bloomberg breakfast, called Kasich "petulant" and said the governor was "embarrassing" his party in his home state."
Hardly. She's in big trouble and the "sophisticates" won't see it.
nd, I'm just giving April that class in Poli Sci she never had. She just can't believe the Mambo kings are history.

I hope whole states walk out and tell the bully where to shove it.
ed - why do you incessantly re-post comments? It's really annoying troll-behavior.
Context, dear. I want people to know why I'm saying what I say. And, considering you're the NeverTrumper troll, it's an odd thing to say
The democrat press gave reality TV star Trump free positive coverage because they knew he'd be easy to beat.
Just ask the One True Ted and Little Marco.
Turns out, Trump doesn't want or need Ohio to win.
Kasich is a sore loser, and, if you think he can deliver OH if it doesn't want to be delivered, you're living in La La Land. However, if he wants to have a career in politics after this year, he'll deliver what he can.
I have zero sympathy for the Never Trump whiners at the convention who want to change the rules AFTER the fact.
They knew what the rules were for each State when the volunteered or were elected to be delegates. Those were known and accepted. Now that they didn't get their way, they want to be all pissy, stomp their feet and snivel because....no fair!!!! waaaaah....I don't like those rules.
They thought the rules were good when they were sure that their candidate was going to be the winner. Now that their guy Cruz or Kasich or whoever didn't win...they want to change the rules that the other people were supposed to abide by. Rules for some but not for them.
Tuff shit. Dems da rules and if you don't like it, then throw a hissy fit, and toss your precious delegate badge on the floor and flounce off of the convention floor. What a bunch of whiny babies.
The thing to keep in mind here is that this was the last stand of the Busies, and that the Libertarians thought they had a real shot at swinging the bulk of Conservatives into their camp.
The campaign mangers knew it was a forlorn hope, even with the delegate poaching, but strung a lot of people along. This reminds me somewhat of Gary Hart's campaign and his last gasp speech to the convention in '84. you could just see the air go out of his people that they suddenly saw he really had nothing to say.
What's going to be interesting, going forward, is how the next few months play out. Manafort did a good job tarring Hillary with the responsibility for Benghazi and her lousy foreign policy last night. Add to that her taking up the White Privilege banner (thank you, Bernie). Any terrorist attack - here or overseas, any cop killed, any riot, any protest where BlackLives or another such group beats up somebody, she owns. She's been put in the same place as Hubert Humphrey in '68.
OH voters aren't going to stay home because Kasich says so, Considering how he handled the primary, if he did encourage people to stay home, they'd come out just to spite him.
Kasich thinks he's a wheel in the party and it all hinges on him. He thought that way through the primaries and it came to nothing.
The NeverTrumpers are done and, the longer he wants to be one, the worse the end for him will be.
Hillary would be down by at least 10 at this point and on her way to being routed by virtually anyone else, but no, on the one occasion where the Democrats have the worst candidate in living memory, we had to find someone worse - an amazing accomplishment if you think about it.
"The NeverTrumpers are done and, the longer he wants to be one, the worse the end for him will be."
And what is the fate of the Trumpers when he goes down in flames? Apologies - never. Reflection - not likely. Nope. As with the fearless leader - blame everyone else. If Trump loses, so do all the Trumper issues with him. No more wall, no being tougher on trade, visas go wide open. Law and order is nice, but let's just talk about police brutality from now on instead. All thrown away on a cult of personality with a crappy personality. I hope it was worth it.
Nobody would have been 10 points ahead bags. Hillary has a natural constituency of about 45% of the public. Criminals. Government worker. Illegal aliens who will vote illegally with the help of corrupt Democrat officials and liberal judges. The establishment of both parties who don't want to endanger their rice bowl.
Trump will appeal to a lot of people who would never give Ted Cruz a look. As a social conservative I recognize that Trumps pliant views on abortion and homosexuality will be much more acceptable to a greater audience than Teds. So when Trump hammers Law and Order and getting jobs back by putting America First it will resonate in a lot of swing states. He is going to mix up the map. Break up the log jam. Something the conventional candidates would never do. Wait and see.
Your defeatism and April's malice is quite sad to see. It has never stopped throughout the whole election cycle. It is really getting old. Just sayn'
Kasich is a popular Ohio Governor. trump doesn't need that! He can piss on everything, flush it all down the toilet, and his blind faithers will applaud.
Troop, you sound just like the Republican faithful in the last two elections. Just believe and the facts before you have no power. Just remember, I'm voting for him, because I have to, but I never wanted him nominated. You guys are responsible for that and what it brings, win or lose. I guess it really doesn't matter now. The die is set. April and I are stuck with it. If he wins and turns out to be even an OK president, I'll be ecstatic and say thanks to Trumpers for saving us. If that does not happen, it's pretty clear why it didn't.
Kasich is a petulant child. People who want Hillary to lose and continue with this bullshit are all petulant children. I expect that from Jeb Bush. If Kasich wants to be a grown up he will suck it up and support the nominee. Just the way I had to do when Romney won.
You want to reward this behavior April. Trump would welcome him. He is welcoming Little Marco and the One True Ted. Even though they are only half hearted. If Kasich wants to act like a schoolgirl then Trump shouldn't kiss his ass. I know that is hard for you to understand but Trump doesn't owe him anything. Kasich owes the party and the goal of defeating Hillary something. Unless he doesn't want to defeat her and wants the duopoly in charge.

What really went down.
No, Breitbart has it right.
Allah and the rest of the Libertarians are just singing, "Shut up and deal". Just like you.
You got the majority, you get your way.
You didn't mind when it looked like the One True Ted bought off all the county chairmen in CO, WY, and ND and screwed the rank and file.
Welcome to politics. It's a contact sport.
PS Using a website bought and paid for by Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz as your source is not a good idea.
If you think the NeverTrumpers were treated roughly, wait till next week.
What's done to the Bernies will make the Slaughter Of The Innocents look like Romper Room.
I hope whole states walk out and tell the bully where to shove it.
ed - why do you incessantly re-post comments? It's really annoying troll-behavior.
Breitbart and tree-house are idiot-pools.
Not a good idea to partake in free speech? Hot air is a million times more credible than Breitbart. BTW - If Breitbart were alive, he'd be sick.
The democrat press gave reality TV star Trump free positive coverage because they knew he'd be easy to beat.
Turns out, Trump doesn't want or need Ohio to win.
"Trump's team insists that by the end of the week, Republicans will plunge into the general election campaign united in their mission to defeat Clinton. But campaign officials undermined their own effort Monday by picking a fight with Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who is not attending the convention and has yet to endorse Trump."
Manafort, in remarks to reporters at a Bloomberg breakfast, called Kasich "petulant" and said the governor was "embarrassing" his party in his home state."
From Drudge's main link.
**Always a great idea to alienate and bully.
Who else can Trump piss-off and threaten?
The former Clinton-lover knows how the game works, after all.
Wow! April and ed need to decaffeinate. An early morning slugfest.
Yawn... Mindless mud throwing. Enjoy the eight years of Hillary in preparation for Chelsea!
Hardly. She's in big trouble and the "sophisticates" won't see it.
nd, I'm just giving April that class in Poli Sci she never had. She just can't believe the Mambo kings are history.

Context, dear. I want people to know why I'm saying what I say. And, considering you're the NeverTrumper troll, it's an odd thing to say

Just ask the One True Ted and Little Marco.

Kasich is a sore loser, and, if you think he can deliver OH if it doesn't want to be delivered, you're living in La La Land. However, if he wants to have a career in politics after this year, he'll deliver what he can.
It's Trump's party, not McConnell's or Jeb!'s.
Howsomever, if you want to believe Kasich can pull something stupid and get away with it, you might want to consider the thoughts of an old political vet. Anyone who helps Hillary this year, however good it might feel now, will pay dearly four years hence.
Enjoy your blog, ed.
Thanks for ruining, you fucking little turd.
I have zero sympathy for the Never Trump whiners at the convention who want to change the rules AFTER the fact.
They knew what the rules were for each State when the volunteered or were elected to be delegates. Those were known and accepted. Now that they didn't get their way, they want to be all pissy, stomp their feet and snivel because....no fair!!!! waaaaah....I don't like those rules.
They thought the rules were good when they were sure that their candidate was going to be the winner. Now that their guy Cruz or Kasich or whoever didn't win...they want to change the rules that the other people were supposed to abide by. Rules for some but not for them.
Tuff shit. Dems da rules and if you don't like it, then throw a hissy fit, and toss your precious delegate badge on the floor and flounce off of the convention floor. What a bunch of whiny babies.
April doesn't like dissent, I take it.
The thing to keep in mind here is that this was the last stand of the Busies, and that the Libertarians thought they had a real shot at swinging the bulk of Conservatives into their camp.
The campaign mangers knew it was a forlorn hope, even with the delegate poaching, but strung a lot of people along. This reminds me somewhat of Gary Hart's campaign and his last gasp speech to the convention in '84. you could just see the air go out of his people that they suddenly saw he really had nothing to say.
What's going to be interesting, going forward, is how the next few months play out. Manafort did a good job tarring Hillary with the responsibility for Benghazi and her lousy foreign policy last night. Add to that her taking up the White Privilege banner (thank you, Bernie). Any terrorist attack - here or overseas, any cop killed, any riot, any protest where BlackLives or another such group beats up somebody, she owns. She's been put in the same place as Hubert Humphrey in '68.
And people liked him.
I did not resort to intemperate language.
I just corrected a couple of misconceptions.
We just lost Ohio to Hillary.
That's your Trump! Oh he's great. He's so great. He's gonna be great. So amazing and great.
"Donald Trump on John Kasich: ‘If I got beaten that badly, I wouldn’t show up, either’ "
We did?
When did that happen?
OH voters aren't going to stay home because Kasich says so, Considering how he handled the primary, if he did encourage people to stay home, they'd come out just to spite him.
Kasich thinks he's a wheel in the party and it all hinges on him. He thought that way through the primaries and it came to nothing.
The NeverTrumpers are done and, the longer he wants to be one, the worse the end for him will be.
Hillary would be down by at least 10 at this point and on her way to being routed by virtually anyone else, but no, on the one occasion where the Democrats have the worst candidate in living memory, we had to find someone worse - an amazing accomplishment if you think about it.
Bravo!
"The NeverTrumpers are done and, the longer he wants to be one, the worse the end for him will be."
And what is the fate of the Trumpers when he goes down in flames? Apologies - never. Reflection - not likely. Nope. As with the fearless leader - blame everyone else. If Trump loses, so do all the Trumper issues with him. No more wall, no being tougher on trade, visas go wide open. Law and order is nice, but let's just talk about police brutality from now on instead. All thrown away on a cult of personality with a crappy personality. I hope it was worth it.
Exactly, Bagoh.
The delusion will never burn out, but the gnashing of teeth after he loses will be something to behold. Introspection? -> No. way.
Nobody would have been 10 points ahead bags. Hillary has a natural constituency of about 45% of the public. Criminals. Government worker. Illegal aliens who will vote illegally with the help of corrupt Democrat officials and liberal judges. The establishment of both parties who don't want to endanger their rice bowl.
Trump will appeal to a lot of people who would never give Ted Cruz a look. As a social conservative I recognize that Trumps pliant views on abortion and homosexuality will be much more acceptable to a greater audience than Teds. So when Trump hammers Law and Order and getting jobs back by putting America First it will resonate in a lot of swing states. He is going to mix up the map. Break up the log jam. Something the conventional candidates would never do. Wait and see.
Your defeatism and April's malice is quite sad to see. It has never stopped throughout the whole election cycle. It is really getting old. Just sayn'
Kasich is a popular Ohio Governor. trump doesn't need that! He can piss on everything, flush it all down the toilet, and his blind faithers will applaud.
Troop, you sound just like the Republican faithful in the last two elections. Just believe and the facts before you have no power. Just remember, I'm voting for him, because I have to, but I never wanted him nominated. You guys are responsible for that and what it brings, win or lose. I guess it really doesn't matter now. The die is set. April and I are stuck with it. If he wins and turns out to be even an OK president, I'll be ecstatic and say thanks to Trumpers for saving us. If that does not happen, it's pretty clear why it didn't.
Kasich is a petulant child. People who want Hillary to lose and continue with this bullshit are all petulant children. I expect that from Jeb Bush. If Kasich wants to be a grown up he will suck it up and support the nominee. Just the way I had to do when Romney won.
You want to reward this behavior April. Trump would welcome him. He is welcoming Little Marco and the One True Ted. Even though they are only half hearted. If Kasich wants to act like a schoolgirl then Trump shouldn't kiss his ass. I know that is hard for you to understand but Trump doesn't owe him anything. Kasich owes the party and the goal of defeating Hillary something. Unless he doesn't want to defeat her and wants the duopoly in charge.
Little Marco and the One True Ted should tell the One True false Orange boob to F - off.
But that's just me.
Where's Trumps class and grace?
he has none. Nope-- all must kneel before trump and grovel and his feet, or you will be cast off, never to work again.
Again - I hope you think it's cool that Trump just lost Ohio.
