Now the little minions want to run around his majority. Kinda makes a momma proud. They grow up SO fast.

Idiots.
Has there ever been a candidate before that the majority of the delegates don't want? We're not talking about a small group, like the Ron Paul supporters, we're talking the majority.

If that's the case they should AVOID picking Cruz. The last poll had him losing by 10 points to Hillary.

Might as well go with Romney. Cruz isn't electable. Romney was close to Obama last time (within 4 points) and Obama was a far better candidate.

Heard yesterday that Trump doesn't have a strong staff and nearly enough to keep on top of things like this.

And the things his staff does tackle is usually reactionary, damage control like answering the question about his racist comments.

Clinton, I hear has over 20 staff members assigned just in media communications alone. Background in Bill's elections and 2008 has helped Clinton this election.

As I mentioned in another thread, the weekend of June 18th Senator Cruz (of Canadian birth) is hosting a huge party, in California, for his top supporters, bundlers, super-pac people, big money donors, etc. It is, according to my sister, a 'thank you' party, but one may wonder.


Anyway, here is an article about yet another event, sans Trump, this coming weekend, hosted by Mitt Romney:


Republican elites retreat to a Trump-safe space: Mitt Romney's place - CNNPolitics.com


I still think that when the delegates meet in Cleveland, that Mr. Trump will be nominated. I simply can't see the delegate committee adopting rules, for instance, unbinding delegates for the first vote. For one, many of those on the committee (I assume, which is dangerous) are 'for' Trump. Second, even if the delegates were unbounded, I feel enough would still vote for Trump on the first ballot. It would start a 'civil war', without any benefit to either side.


Yet, one does wonder about Mr. Romney's meeting in Utah this weekend, and Senator Cruz's 'party' the next.


I mean, Senator Cruz could have sent everyone a nice 'thank you' card, perhaps with a spiral ham.
Interesting about Cruz. That guy has been awfully quiet and we all know he's mean as a snake. I've been wondering what he's got up his sleeve.

If they manage to nominate someone other than Trump, they're going to get creamed in November anyway because the Trump supporters will either stay home of vote for Johnson. The GOP backed themselves into this corner with their hateful rhetoric and politics.

Of course she does. She has hundreds. All those millions from Wall Street, Foreign governments and the donor class has to be spent somewhere.

BTW, this isn't a good thing.

But the voters have spoken and made a choice. Trump passes Romney’s popular vote total, likely to break GOP record - POLITICO

As we know, there is bitterness over Trump upsetting the dynasty plan. Sour grapes are to be expected. And, I bet someone using that mouth is also being critical of Trump for the way he sometimes talks.
