Trump calling him Lyin' Ted everyday for months would make him a pathological liar, no?Matt wrote:+1audiophile wrote:Trump called him Lyin' Ted everyday for months, and implied today his dad was involved with JFK's murder -- and you expect to congratulate him for being a pig vomit of man?bmw wrote:Cruz did not exit with class, IMO. Not once did he congratulate Trump on his victory. I got the impression listening to his otherwise boring speech that he will not support Trump and that he will even continue to fight against Trump. I think he will do this not because he thinks that is what is good for the country, but because he's a sore loser.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
Re: Cruz Campaign is Done
Cruz should have known better than to get into the mud with Trump. He was much more on his game back months back when he avoided talking about Trump, but occasionally took light-hearted jabs at him, like the Flashdance - Maniac video tweet back in December.
But he let Trump get the better of him, and he always seemed distracted, off message, and on the defensive because of it.

Re: Cruz Campaign is Done
You, I and most of the people that inhabit this thread know that but it's an abstraction to the majority of a large number of our fellow countrymen. I think they just know their guy (or more preciously one of their 16 guys/gal) didn't make the cut because the entire system is screwed up/the dog ate their homework and will sit out the entire process. Again, much like what will happen at the upcoming GOP convention. Sure, there'll be some folks that come out to spite the other side but not enough to throw the outcome.bmw wrote:Simple answer.

I'm not saying it won't be an amazing piece of theater watching Trump v. Clinton. It's going to be a shitshow to end all shitshows but heck I'll be bold enough to call the final percentages:
Clinton 56%
Trump 44%
If Trump goes all wackadoodle Hill's might get as much as 58-59%

I wish I could disagree...

Re: Cruz Campaign is Done
One of the more interesting exit poll questions in Indiana yesterday was pointed at Sanders voters. They were asked if they would support Clinton if she gets the nomination. 70 percent said they would cross party lines to vote for Trump. Granted it is only one state but if that proves to be wide spread it could make things interesting in November.

Newt Gingrich heaped praise on Trump on Fox News. Called Trump "one of the most effective anti-left voices of our lifetime" and compared him to Eisenhower.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Fox hosts did nothing to question Trump...what a bunch of sheep.

Re: Cruz Campaign is Done
Now, if I'm following you correctly here, zz, you're saying that Democrats will be voting for the Republican candidate, and the Republicans will either stay home or vote for the Democrat candidate? Christ Almighty, this is gonna be the biggest clusterfuck of an election I've ever seen, worse than the 2000 debacle. Talk about ass backwards.zzand wrote:One of the more interesting exit poll questions in Indiana yesterday was pointed at Sanders voters.

Plenty of white blue collar Dems over age 40 love Trump, especially those in the Southeast and rust belt.
Kasich is reportedly dropping out today.

Mega, what I said was that Sanders voters said they would rather vote for Trump than Clinton, nothing more or less.
