Trump accuses Cruz's father of helping JFK's assassin

Anyone that considers themselves a Conservative and is backing Trump has banjos (which I like by the way) playing in their head. Sheep are often not smart enough to recognize the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing hence why some Conservatives are backing a Dyed In The Wool Democrat that only sell the Gullible a Bill of Goods that he has no intention of delivering. So back him if you wish, thankfully the vast majority of Americans do not and will not in November.

I'm not a Trump supporter. However, if you like all of those stereotypical imaginings and they give you comfort and reassurance, you stick with 'em. I don't think Rudi Giuiliani has banjos playing in his head.

You may have a point there. I believe that some of the Democrats are rat****ing the Republican primaries. Look at the data. High turnout in the Republican primaries, and extremely low turnout in the Democratic ones. This would seem to support the rat****ing theory.

Operation Chaos was funny until other people learned the same trick. :)

I go by his own words and actions, not what anyone says or some "news" source tells me to believe, you, it seems, are influenced by the opinions of others.

Correct, I said that, have yet to see any evidence to disprove that claim.
 
It would be amusing if nobody selected a presidential candidate on next November's ballots.

What is (0.43*.08) / (.37*.173) ?

It's about half.

It's 0.0344, or 3.44%.

See how there was a whole second part of that equation there?

.43*.08 = .0344

.37*.173 = .06401

.0344 / .06401 = .53741

.5 = "half"

.53741 = "about half"

I disagree. Cruz could have capitalized on this if he had played the wounded innocent, but he didn't.

The Enquirer, which so obviously supports Trump, dropped a hit piece centered on the fact that Cruz's father was a huge Castro supporter. Trump uses that like Cruz used the anti-Trump PAC ad in Utah. He used Cruz's tactic against him.

Cruz responds by slut shaming Trump using an old, old interview taken out of context.

The difference? Plain language. And that's the center of Cruz's problems this election - like most middling politicians Cruz just doesn't know how to speak like a common man. He's trained his whole life to speak like an elite politician. So even when Cruz insults someone in what could have been an effective manner, the language he uses is so out of step with common folk that it doesn't really strike home.

Trump on the other hand is a master at speaking to his audience in a language they understand. So when he digs into Cruz, it's effective.

Cruz has lost, utterly. And he's so obviously frustrated and not thinking clearly. Now, the only question left is whether Cruz will have a career as a politician going forward. His only hope of having one at this point is if Trump loses the general. And even then it's an iffy thing.

I agree with your analysis of Cruz. But admitting that I loathe, detest and hate him as much as the next rational person, I thought his 17 minute rant was excellent and right on point.

I think the party is issuing a huge sigh of relief today knowing that they dodged the Cruz bullet and I cannot ever see them allowing it to happen again in four or eight or more years down the road.

Title is a bit strong - he's suggesting involvement - but the rules of the forum require it.




Oh, and then there was this interesting little tidbit:



It's a disgrace that a man has the right to free speech on behalf of his son (note it's not the content, but the freedom that Trump states is a disgrace), if that speech offends Donald Trump.

There is a minority chance that this man could win against Hillary Clinton (I think it would require an exogenous event, but it's there). All those precedents that Obama created? They'll be there for him. What a joy to look forward to.

Donald Trump is, as are most liberals, opposed to free speech. As for citing the National Enquirer, whose CEO is a friend of Trump's, I think is quite consistent with a liar like Trump.

What I have suggested for years. Add a None of the Above selection and if over 50% of all voters vote for that then all the Parties have to dump all their candidates and present a new batch within 3 months and we vote again. Yes, I know We do not vote them in but it would at least make the Parties come up with a candidate that is selected by the Electoral Collage that more can live with than not.
 
Trump is a real tough competitor. Evidence this. I don't think he meant this. I think Trump thought it would either have a negative effect on Cruz or affect Cruz in the polls negatively. It actually did both.
