An astonishing Republican presidential primary season has taken another unusual turn, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz announcing business executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate — even though he’s mathematically unable to become the GOP nominee through the regular voting process.
It was the move of a candidate desperate to block Donald Trump, a front-runner who is only growing stronger as the primary contest presses deeper into the spring.
Trump now has 80 percent of the delegates he needs for the Republican nomination, though he could still fall short and have to battle Cruz for the nomination at a contested convention. Trump must win 48 percent of the remaining delegates to avoid that scenario.
In fiery remarks, Fiorina panned Trump and Clinton as a pair of liberals who would do little to shake up Washington.
“They’re not going to challenge the system — they are the system,” Fiorina said.
In response, Trump supporters gleefully revealed a shocking tape from January that reveals Fiorina’s true thoughts on Cruz — and how she says he’ll say anything to win.

Trump mocked Cruz at a rally in Indianapolis. “Cruz can’t win. What’s he doing picking vice presidents?” Trump asked. “He is the first presidential candidate in the history of this country who’s mathematically eliminated from becoming president who chose a vice presidential candidate.”
While Cruz grasped for a way to slow Trump, the businessman turned his attention to the general election. In a wide-ranging foreign policy speech, Trump sought to answer questions about his temperament and preparedness to be commander in chief.
Trump won more than 50 percent of the Republican votes in Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maryland in Tuesday’s elections, and scored over 60 percent in Delaware and Rhode Island.

She married money. She greatly diminished a great computer company. She couldn’t garner 2% in a primary. Her and Cruz declaring each other relevant candidates is like me declaring myself king of Boston. A weird joke.
Judy says
These 2 need to go back into the hole they slithered out of.
GWEN ENGLAND says
I AGREE WITH YOU JUDY.
Masanja says
They are two blind mice. Repubs and TPs hate both of them: Cruz for being a Canadian or foreigner and Carly for having a mean face. I hope they do not do when man and a woman are too close for comfort. Did I hear Cruz had several mistresses? Anyway they are both losers.
Almalee M Smith says
When Carly ran for office in California I voted for her but did not know a lot about her. After the election I found out she was CEO for Hewlett -Packard and sent over half the business overseas. What would she do as VP?
Kenneth Stelter says
Outsource our Government – come to think of it – Trump could use Carly and Mitt (expert outsourcers) to outsource tons of bureaucracies in our Government.
Dean Jones says
She has not only tried to kill HP and another Fortune 100 among her failure in her education.
I don;t want her anywhere near my country.
DISGUSTED says
500 Thousand in Hush Money wasn’t enough for Fiorina! It’s payback time for Ted!
Not only did Fiorina destroy HP, but she actually said, “American Jobs were not a GOD GIVEN RIGHT ANYMORE, as she ADVOCATES OUTSOURCING JOBS TO OTHER COUNTRIES WHILE AMERICAN’S STARVE!!
DISGUSTED says
THIS IS THE LINK FOR THE ABOVE STATEMENT
To make her point, in 2004, Fiorina said: “There is no job that is America’s God-given right anymore,” reported the San Francisco Chronicle.

Earl Mock says
You are / spot on /…and they both are desperate.
GO TRUMP 2016 USA USA USA…….ret Nam era Vet
spike says
Nam Era? If you weren’t in combat in Vietnam don’t drop the name to steal valor.
Robert says
This just shows the American public that both of them are just in it for themselves and that Ted Cruz is a very desperate man.
Buster says
Ted and Carley? Oh my God. What next? Hillary and Biden? Hey Ted. You want a suggestion on how to be president? Pick Hillary. She already has the votes, and popularity. If you can just get her to turn Republican. You see she might as well. She will not win against Trump. Trump will crucify her in a one on one election. So the only way Cruz can win is let Hillary hop on his back. Now you would have two mental cases that the walking brain dead would vote for and beat Trump. Ted and Hillary. Two liars together teaming up would win. NOT! Just a joke.
Frank Mayo says
I would say Trump is the more desperate Candidate. Every indication shows he fears a contested Convention. Every one knows he can not beat Hillery. Nominating him is giving the election to the Dumacrats. The only thing that could stop her it is that the FBI can her butt…..then you got Joe Biden. Oh well!!!
Steve says
Frank, are you serious, your comment is so old and so over. Trump is afraid of nothing and he’ll stop Hillery in her tracks. His momentum is increasing daily and there’s a wave of truth blanketing the country. People are finally seeing the light. We’ve lived in darkness for the last 8 years and if you think people want a 3rd Obama term which is what will happen or worse and probably worse with Hillery then you have fallen off the deep end with the other Lemmings. Get a grip on yourself, open your eyes.
Jim D says
Lemming? Anyone who supports any of the present front runners in both races can crawl into the wagon with the rest of the lemmings. They are one and the same. Too bad the irrational minds of most of these posters / posers cannot differentiate between the two.
sharon says
Jim: Go take your medication!!!
B says
Steve you serious? Only Trump supporters believe he will beat Hillary! Funny the polls disagree with this theory! If Trump is nominated Hillary wins! Get used to another President Clinton!
spike says
You hateful Trumpeters should get a grip. I, like 50+ percent of the population wouldn’t vote for him even if it means Hillary wins the presidency. And, I hate Hillary almost as much. Once again out of a country of 300 million we have failed to come up with even one decent candidate. Trump is lazy and incompetent. It’s going to be a total disaster whether we get Trump or Hillary. We are Screwed big time.
GWEN ENGLAND says
SPIKE YOU NEED TO SIT DOWN AND SMOKE YOU ANOTHER ONE AND THINK ABOUT THIS. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO VOTE FOR TRUMP HE’S OUR ONLY HOPE.
MEL says
forget lieing Ted cruz just wasting other peoples money should be made to pay it all back what am I thinking he can only spend other peoples money he has no talent to offer for pay just another leech.
Jimmy says
I would say you are very stupid, he will get the nomination and beat Killary to boot.
sharon says
Frank: Are you serious. Ted Cruz has 559 delegates and he’s already picked a VP.. He is not even half ways there!!! Trump has about 950 or more. All the other things Cruz does like steal delegates shows his desperation!!! Like a true dirty politician!!! Ted Cruz cares only about delegates not the actually voters from primaries!! Also the tricks on Ben Carson!!! That trick in Iowa was planned ahead of time!!
Carol says
Frank: I agree with the Carson debacle!! He told people that Carson had dropped out of the race (and then gets his campaign workers to make phone calls to Carson supporters to TrusTed, which of course, they ALL deny). I do NOT trust Ted Cruz as far as I can throw him, in part, because of ONE BIG LIE AFTER ANOTHER, especially this one!! And now, you got 2 candidates, Cruz and Kasich who, as an Ohioan myself, has not done what he claims for Ohioans, especially folks like me, the diminishing Middle Class, trying to work to keep Trump from getting more delegates, by working together? Does THIS sound legal? It’s collusion, as Donald Trump said. Any opinions on this? My husband, also a Trump supporter, said it is just the acts of two DESPERATE MEN!!
B says
I agree! I would like trump people to tell me exactly how will he bring jobs back what is his exact plan? How will he build the wall? Using his own money? Mexico will not pay for it you will stupids? How good is his foreign policy? What I got out of the speech made him as good as Obama during his first term and not much better now!!! I just hope if he gets elected president which he won’t,we will have another President Clinton, that he can Walk the walk not just talk the talk! He reminds me of someone who talks a good fight but is useless with their hands when up against a opponent! He makes a great President Bully! That is another thing people don’t like people being bullied but they sure didn’t mind Trump bullying all the presidential contestants…amazing…
JCP74 says
I think you’re full of b—-s—. Trump is the only one that will change America the way it should be.

Ask what you can do for the nation says
Yes they are
But the thing is what will we do ?
PleSe take this scenario in consideration to get more voters for TRUMP . there are more than 500 delegates left to take . Please,help Trump to take as much as possible like 1437 just to show the Rest of them our will, our patriotism , our care for our countrymen ?
The 1237 is only enough to get by , Trump worth more than that . We are not begging for nomination. We are representative of nomination .
Their rules is not what to slow us down .

Dr. History says
Almost us much of a joke as a liberal like Trump fooling all the idiots into believing he will make America anything but a bigger mess, and more of a prison-state than it already is.
John says
Dr. History’s assessment is as “big a joke” as he must be – anyone will be better than another 4 years of President Obozo who when asked what he will miss most when he vacates the White House and his response was Air Force One why not he’s the biggest free loader in the country.
Talk about out of touch “Dr. History, President Obozo & Hillary the Hun” in this order.
Dennis Woodhull, Sr. says
Get back under the rock your living under. Better yet I want you to meet PRESIDENT TRUMP !!

And who gets your – Hillary the “Hun” I’ll wager.

Ron were you one of those Liberal pukes that would like Hillary , the beast that let our guys die at Benghazi to try to cover another one of her and Obama’s Treasonous acts of supplying guns and nerve gas to our enemy’s . I guess I can also assume you were never in the military because anyone that has fought for this country wouldn’t think twice about having that evil bitch anywhere near our Constitution ! Her Obama, Reid, and Pelosi have done enough to weaken our Country, our way of living , and our rights ! Obama should never have been able to sneak into the White House , He is not a citizen and cannot even pass an E-verify check ! I am wondering just how much money changed hands to sell out country down the tubes ! Even with the obvious voter fraud and His buddy Eric Holder letting illeagal , and dead people vote , Even an idiot knows it is impossible to get 125% per cent of the votes anywhere and Obama seemed to be able to do it several place , and no one demanded and investigation or an Impeachment , and someone should figure why this piece of trash did to rate a Nobel Prize ???
Jeff Irwin says
He recieved the noble Peace Prize because “He gave the World false hope” wtf happened to this institution as well as America – Go Trump 2016
Steve says
He’s not fooling or even trying to fool anybody. However he will help us take our country back, he can’t do it all but he can get it headed in the right direction for a change. People are much smarter than you give them credit for like you’re a critic on the matter, NOT, don’t put yourself above others because it makes you look stupid. Get it !?!
Jim D says
Trump reminds me of Boris Yeltsin, his rhetoric is much the same as Yeltsin’s when he was attempting to over-through the Stalinist’s of Russia.
They both use aphorisms of how bad the current environments are, stimulating the disenfranchised of the necessity of change. Bloviating about themselves, claiming to be the messiahs for a better tomorrow.
While thoughtless fools congregate around them; awaiting the coming eradication of their world beyond recognition.
Jimmy says
Hey don’t waste your time on this one they are one of Killarys internet attack clowns.
Carol says
How many of you folks can afford 4 more years of Obama and his policies? And Hillary is talking about EXPANDING OBAMACARE? I don’t know about you guys, but I have always been responsible and had health care coverage from the time I started working. My insurance premiums have DOUBLED AND THEN SOME while Obama’s children get cheap rent, WIC, food stamps, welfare, and a big fat check at taxtime!! And John Kasich, yes a Republican, put an EIC credit on the Ohio State return ,more money into these freeloaders pockets!! My husband and I are disabled and CANNOT afford a Clinton Administration!! We’re already being taxed to death in this damn state!!

Trevon M. says
You got it! Another useful idiot. Her only goal is to bring Trump down along with Cruz – if the GOP hands the election to Clinton, I highly recommend all conservatives ditch the Republican Party for good! And I think it’s high time we stop allowing anti-Trumpers to assault, attack, and otherwise spoil pro-Trumpers at the rallies…stand and fight these POS protesters right there where they stand. Make them regret ever showing up, otherwise they’ll keep on doing it, with little media coverage except to say “more violence at Trump rallies”, as if Trump supporters were the problem. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Rob says
Well, hello King of Boston. I hope your subjects are doing well today.
This was a last ditch desperate measure by Cruz to prevent him being attacked for finishing last in 3 or 4 states the evening before. He obviously did not think. Carry out and too pick a vp when there is no mathematical way to win the presidency, it’s pointless.
Whether we like it or not, Trump is going to be the nominee.
It’s all the establishments fault for 50 years representing themselves and not we the people. Actually, Cruz might play outsider and he is because fellow senators hate him, he is still a Washington politician. You can’t put lipstick on this pig.
I believe the voters in Indiana are not happy with the games that Kasich and Cruz pulled .
Cruz better hope he wins Indiana, because the wrath of Trump will be upon him.
If he loses as him a Kasich stay in the race to deny Trump victory, the rnc by default will have to give the nomination to Trump, because the people have spoken.
I would not be surprised to see Trump to get over 1,237 and to shove it up detractors butts and pick Rubio as his vp and use union’s delegates to go over 1,500!!
So much for a second ballot!
As much as you Cruz supporters need to hold your nose, it would be wise to support Trump in order to crush Hiallry in the general.
Dennis Woodhull, Sr. says
Absolutely agree. Trump WILL BE the nominee and he will mop the floor with stupid hillary !!
Trevon M. says
Yes! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
cristoiglesia says
Actually you know and I know that Trump has absolutely no chance of beating Hillary. Even though Trump is to the left of Hillary in ideology he will be perceived by liberals as an unknown as far as his policies although he has already spoken out on the key issues for most liberals positively like his endorsement for planned parenthood and the radical homosexual agenda. The liberals know that he is one of them but he does not have the name recognition or the confidence they have in Hillary even though he has been a Democrat insider his whole life.
The other problem is that he does not want to be President despite his rhetoric to get the nomination. Becoming President would be Trumps worst nightmare as it would cost him billions and no one has more greed than Trump. With him everything is about making money using any and all deceptive tactics to do so as we have seen so far in his candidacy.
I have come to believe that Trump is a Trojan Horse candidate and is still a far left wing liberal getting his kicks by pretending to be a conservative Republican and being deceitful. He only registered as a Republican a little more than two years ago just in time to enter the Presidential race. His actions and his words to most of us reveal his true attempt at deceit. I do not believe that he has suddenly had an epiphany and saw the light that the Republicans were right after all. Recently he has revealed in the debates, by accident, that he is still a far left wing liberal as he has been his entire life. He showed the hand he was holding when he said that he would be funding his own campaign. Trump is a business man and such an action is totally and completely foreign to his character. So the intelligent among us that are not deceived by his ploys and realize that his candidacy is about making money and not just spending it except to make even more money and enrich himself. Trump has made a deal with the devil which is the Democratic party that he will run as a conservative and Republican and insure that no Republican will run if he wins the nomination. If not he will run as a 3rd party candidate and divide the Republican vote to get Hillary elected. How can anyone be proud of a deceitful, lying pretender like Trump? A good number of Republican conservatives, acting out of gullibility, have believed the ruse. As a result his candidacy will insure that a Sanders or Hillary will be elected. Now, some may ask how will he profit from that scenario and it is simple, the Democrat that he helped to get elected will make sure that he is awarded with government contracts that will make him the richest man in the world. So Donald has not deceived everyone but only the gullible and no true Republican conservative will vote for him because we have followed the money and understand his practice of greed. I sickened every time I see him and his despicable lack of civility and dignity illustrates that he is one of the worst of humanity and an American intent in deceiving those that support him.
I have become convinced that He and Bill thought up this scheme to get Hillary elected during one of their regular golf games together. Obviously, after the deceit, atrocious leadership and malaise of the Obama administration it had become obvious that unless something was done that Hillary would have no chance to get elected as POTUS or any other Democrat for that matter. This was a brilliant scheme that has fooled many who do not have the ability or desire to connect the dots.

Nicely written, yet so very wrong.
You clearly do not know how Donald Trump makes his money. If you understood the nature of the real estate business, everything you have written does not make a lick of sense. Trump’s amazing and well educated children are running the business now as he seeks the Presidency to make a better future for them, his grandkids, and the country.

With Trump everything is about the money. His greed is legendary. He does not want to be President or this to be his retirement job as you suggest. He is doing this to get riches beyond imagination.

Cris…
When does a Billionare who is making more than enough money basically doing real estate deals need to stop making his billions so he can have multiple deaths threats made to himself and his family? Live in a house far less glamorous than the ones he already owns and lives in? Give up playing golf with his Billionare friends to sweat over legislation and running a big ass F-ed up country? Fly in a plane that is less luxurious than his private 747 complete with gold seat buckles, two full size bedrooms, a full size dining table, big screen TV etc… Oh yeah, I forgot, He must be “so unhappy” with all of that — his “lousy” comfortable life style — free of needing secret service to test his food and watch over his shoulder — Oh yeah He LOVES giving all of his FREEDOMS away so he can make more money! Wow! Gee! I wish I could be a billionaire so I can give it all up just so I can be president and possibly get a bullet in my head for my trouble! But I’ll be RICH beyond my wildest dreams!
You my friend are the definition of a moron.
Constitutionalist says
rabblerouser-
i agree with your assessment of cristoiglesia’s analysis of Trump, based as it is entirely upon speculation.
As to the “he can’t beat H ‘I Liar’ canard, or worse, that Trump and BJ Billy worked up a scheme to have Trump run and throw the election to the soon-to-be-indicted CRIMINAL, that’s a LOL, gimme-an-“i love me”-jacket crazy.
He obviously has neither seen nor cares TO see the 25 year-old Oprah interview of him, where he espoused the same principles he espouses today, namely that the US has made TERRIBLE deals all around the world, which he aims to re-negotiate in OUR favor.
I have read that Trump makes in the neighborhood of 400 million per year, which means that he makes more before breakfast than the president makes in almost 3 years(barring “vacations”), and that he intends to donate the entirety of his salary if he’s elected, giving the lie to “he’s only in it for the money” nonsense.
But i am curious: of all the candidates put forward by CCMSM, that is to say, the democrats and republicans, which does HE prefer? (If he has a preference for a candidate NOT given air time by CCMSM, that’s points in his favor.)
Is it:
Cruz the lying Canadian, shill for the NWO/OWG?
Kasich the Ohioan sellout, who can’t beat someone who hasn’t been in the race for a month?
Sanders, the avowed Socialist with easily-proven ties to Marxist handlers?
H “I Liar”?
or “other”?
Gerald Mann says
We have seen our great Nation pay the price for this liberal/Communistic bull that Obumbels , Hillary, Pelosi, Reid, Holder and the rest of those animals that snuck into our White House , I would say for the last 6 elections our votes did not mean Jack . I realize they got the idea of the Electrical College by saying the votes could not possibly be counted in a reasonable amount of time , But lets face it we are in the computer age and should go back to the one vote one citizen system to insure we get the person the majority has voted for and not the ones that big money and foreign powers want running the country Like what we have today , Face it How could Bush get re-elected , even with the 911 cover-ups , and Obama getting re-elected when a majority of the citizens of the United States were trying to get him impeached !!
I do know they had three strike teams ready to go that could have saved everyone at Benghazi, and when the commander of one of the teams was going to go anyway , he was arrested on orders from the White House I believe he was General Hamm and he was arrested and stripped of his command because the administration wanted those men to die , Granted they really wanted the Ambassador Chris Stevens to die and the SEALS were not suppose to die and were ordered to stand down , they refused and in doing so they died in order to preserve the secret that may well have caused impeachment to actually take place ! That is why Hillary and Obama needs to be arrested and prosecuted for several counts of High Treason among other charges !

Yahweh Jerry!!!! Didn’t you know Kasich is on a vacation at the government expense
Jan says
I actually had respect for Carly in the beginning. How will she explain all the negative things she said about Cruz during the first part of their run? She said Cruz was just another politician who would do or day anything to become the nominee. So this just looks like another attempt at gaining delegates, and she now is part of that plan. It must make her feel pretty used and stupid.
DJ Hensley says
How does Trump explain the very ugly things he said about Ben Carson. Early in the campaign, every candidate says negative about the others. Can’t blame one and forgive others. I believe Trump has been nothing but very ugly about many people yet lies about his policies and changes his ideas almost every day. He didn’t write his foreign policy speech and didn’t give it as if he had ever read it before. He is a liberal, not a Republican and has already changed much of what he first touted and will change according to his audience. Anyone Boehner is for is exactly the opposite of one a Conservative would support. This should tell you very much about Trump—Boehner plans to vote for him. Oh my, just more of Obama stuff!
cristoiglesia says
Indeed and then he promised Carson the VP spot to endorse him according to Carson.

ROFLOL! Trump has been a far left liberal his whole life. He has never been a conservative. Trump is running to assure that his best friends wife will become POTUS.

I hear a lot of ugly things come out of Trump’s mouth about a lot of people, but I really didn’t hear him speak bad of Dr. Carsen. He said he was not a motivator, which is a true statement or he would have gone much further in this race.

TRUMP SAID WORSE THINGS ABOUT CARSON THAN Carly ever said about Cruz. People are brainwashed to still vote for Trump. Go Carly!

But of course Trump is bought by the Wall Street bankers to whom he owes millions if not billions. He is in this race to split the Republican vote to get Hillary elected so that he will get the contract to build that wall. Ideologically Trump is the same as Hillary and Obama. Incidentally he and Bill Clinton are best friends and regularly play golf together. This scheme was probably thought up during one of their frequent golf games together. Without Trump the Democrats had no chance of winning the Presidency but with him splitting the Republican vote it is a certainty that Hillary will be POTUS. No conservative Republican would ever vote for Trump because he stands for everything that we are against.
Southern By Choice says
“..plays golf regularly” … where did you get your information. I can tell most of you people have never been self employed, or had to deal with politicians and have to hold your nose when they asked for money because they can make or break your business. My husband and I have been in this position but never once asked for a return favor – just to be left alone. You forget that Mr. Trump also donated to many Republican candidates, but this seems to be conveniently forgotten. Got a laugh out of Bob Barr criticizing Donald Trump – the Bob Barr, the good and true conservative, who after being defeated in Georgia began representing the ACLU. And he can criticize Trump. Give me a break. I would also suggest that you “bone up” on your facts as to what Mr. Trump owes Wall Street bankers. You should be so lucky – or smart – to have the financials he does. I think I smell the big green monster (jealousy) rearing its head. Start with a couple million and turn it into billions – good luck. And as best I remember my American Civics class, there will only be one Republican nominee – so how is that splitting the Republican vote. I can tell you right now, at the ripe old age of 75 and someone who has voted in every single election since I became eligible, if the insider establishment elite RINOs steal this election again, we will end up with another Romney or McCain bloodbath and we will have Obama’s 3rd term. t will be the last election I will ever vote in again as a Republican. So you Trump haters better get your heads back on top of your shoulders and decide which you would rather have: a woman who cannot tell the truth and is an Obama clone, or maybe worse, or a man who might:”offends” your sensitivities because he is not politically correct.

Yes, they are well known golfing partners and socialize together as well in the Democrat insiders circle that Donald and Bill have been a part of for decades.

Their close friendship goes back decades when they used to travel together to Jeffrey Epstein’s Island in pursuit of your girls:
https://news.vice.com/article/the-salacious-ammo-even-donald-trump-wont-use-in-a-fight-against-hillary-clinton-bill-clinton
He owes more than a quarter billion to Wall Street Banks banks:
http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2016/03/20/trumpwallst0320/
Actually Trump inherited more than 200 million dollars and a successful Company from his father and not a few million as you claim. He has done well and turned that into about 4 billion.
Trump will split the Republican vote because no conservative Republican can vote for him as a far left liberal candidate. He will split the vote by getting only the RINO Republicans in the Northeast.
It is true that Trump is not a Republican insider but he is a Democrat insider and operative and has been for decades.
I AM A LIFELONG REPUBLICAN WHO WOULD NOT EVER VOTE FOR A LEFTIST LIBERAL LIKE TRUMP. AS A CHRISTIAN AND A CONSERVATIVE IT WOULD BE A MORTAL SIN FOR ME TO DO SO.
There is no difference in ideology between Hillary, Obama and Trump.
Indeed Trump is a liar who is morally corrupt and a Trojan Horse candidate as a Republican:
I have come to believe that Trump is a Trojan Horse candidate and is still a far left wing liberal getting his kicks by pretending to be a conservative Republican and being deceitful. He only registered as a Republican a little more than two years ago just in time to enter the Presidential race. His actions and his words to most of us reveal his true attempt at deceit. I do not believe that he has suddenly had an epiphany and saw the light that the Republicans were right after all. Recently he has revealed in the debates, by accident, that he is still a far left wing liberal as he has been his entire life. He showed the hand he was holding when he said that he would be funding his own campaign. Trump is a business man and such an action is totally and completely foreign to his character. So the intelligent among us that are not deceived by his ploys and realize that his candidacy is about making money and not just spending it except to make even more money and enrich himself. Trump has made a deal with the devil which is the Democratic party that he will run as a conservative and Republican and insure that no Republican will run if he wins the nomination. If not he will run as a 3rd party candidate and divide the Republican vote to get Hillary elected. How can anyone be proud of a deceitful, lying pretender like Trump? A good number of Republican conservatives, acting out of gullibility, have believed the ruse. As a result his candidacy will insure that a Sanders or Hillary will be elected. Now, some may ask how will he profit from that scenario and it is simple, the Democrat that he helped to get elected will make sure that he is awarded with government contracts that will make him the richest man in the world. So Donald has not deceived everyone but only the gullible and no true Republican conservative will vote for him because we have followed the money and understand his practice of greed. I sickened every time I see him and his despicable lack of civility and dignity illustrates that he is one of the worst of humanity and an American intent in deceiving those that support him.
I have become convinced that He and Bill thought up this scheme to get Hillary elected during one of their regular golf games together. Obviously, after the deceit, atrocious leadership and malaise of the Obama administration it had become obvious that unless something was done that Hillary would have no chance to get elected as POTUS or any other Democrat for that matter. This was a brilliant scheme that has fooled many who do not have the ability or desire to connect the dots.

cristoiglesia says
God is indeed merciful and if you vote for someone like Donald Trump you will need great mercy and a great deal of contrition. For a Christian to vote for Trump is to endorse the murder of the unborn which trump has already spoken out for by changing the Republican platform to endorse such sin and he has also endorsed the permission and legality for mentally ill homosexuals to use the same bathrooms with the opposite genders. If those are not sinful leftist ways I do not know of any that would prove more explicitly that Trump is a leftist and not at all what he pretends to be. Obviously I am better informed than you. I have always been an American citizen. I have a PhD from Duke University in Religious studies and I was a Bible translator previously for Wycliffe. I am self supporting. I am a lifelong conservative Republican and I detest what Trump is doing to destroy the Republican Party because of ignorant low information voters as you should be the poster boy in representation. I will pray for your to come out from under the deceit you have accepted from the leftist liberal charlatan Trump. Now go back to your delusions and continue to insult everyone that does not agree with your confusion.
Donald Trump has trained you well by encouraging you to reject civility and reason.

Excuse me but it is everyday, bread & butter conservative republicans who are against trump. He is a liberal, just li!me the libs you make fun old. He is for increased taxes. Pro abortion including partfial birth. He is for socialized medicine. He is for banning guns. He is for big govt. He does not understand how to make changes to encourage biz growth.
Now Cruz does. If you ever took the time to listen to Cruz you would see he is who he says he is. His plans are great, rational and constitutional.
Instead, you parrot what trump, stone and lying trump websites say.

WHAT A BUNCH OF IGNORANT CRAP! Do you know how stupid you sound?
Did you ever have a mortgage on anything? (Likely not) Is anyone who gets a loan from a bank in the bank’s pocket? It’s just the other way around. It is the borrower who has the banks at their feet. If Trump was negotiating for another mega loan I might say there is possibility of some credence to your librababble (Damn little possibility, though) but my friend, you obviously don’t under anything about even the smallest business deal (Like financing a new machine for a machine shop or purring an addition on a small strip center.)
Here are the rules kid,,,You don’t use your money, you use someone else’s money and if you have money like Trump the banks are all over you, hat in hand, begging YOU to do business with them. You pick and choose and put the bank through the ringer if you are ANY kind of a business man at all. ,,,, Of course you likely think like Carly and could get 1000s layed off like she did when you mismanage a large, and viable (when you got there anyway) business. I’ll bet the banks had HER under their thumb.
cristoiglesia says
Does it ever bother you that you have to continually make excuses for Trump. He is a despicable human being and a “Trojan Horse” candidate pretending to be a Republican when he has been a leftist Democrat insider for decades. It is all about him splitting the Republican vote to get his best friends wife elected as POTUS so that he can get that contract to build the wall that he stated he could do well in the debates. that will likely make him the richest man in the world off of our tax money.

With a name like yours, it is obvious you are a troll and belong 100% to Hillary the flying (broom) witch and money grabber from Wall Street, Arab countries and a few others…wherever she can smell a dollar bill.

This is great. Cruz and Carly. He is truly desperate. I am a lifelong democrat, and I just switched my party affiliation to vote for trump. I know I am not alone hillary is being protected by Obama. She should be indicted, and Bernie should hang around in case that happens. Trump may not be the most tactful person, but he is not a politician. We need a change. If he runs the. Country as a business, maybe things will change. In any csse, he is so much better than crooked hillary and slick willie.
cristoiglesia says
In what way would Trump be better or worse than Hillary. Ideologically they are cut from the same cloth. They are even best friends. Trump has no desire to be POTUS but instead a strong desire to get his best friends wife elected as POTUS and in reward he will get the contract to build that wall.

Trump has been bought for decades by the Wall Street bankers to whom he owes more than 250 million dollars.

The Republicans had a real chance to elect a Republican POTUS as Obama had set the stage for a change but with Trump who is a leftist and lifelong Democrat like Hillary that chance will be lost. No conservative or a person of faith can vote for a charlatan like Trump.

Mr. Trump reminds me of a pinch hitter batting in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded and two outs, it just does not matter if he hits a grand slam or a clean single, we win the ball game. I believe he is a smart man with some faults but do you know anyone without faults? He is at least a man that can learn very quickly.
Hillary reminds me of a “deposit your money here machine”. I wish I could do two talks a day @ $225,000 each.
Bernie is a socialist, where does that really work?
I choose to not say anything about the Canadian Royal Mounted Policeman, I doubt he owns a USA map.

How do you like your VP pick now LYIN/CRUZ TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT.
Don says
If Theodore Cruz wanted to sink his campaign even further down the toilet, he made the right decision. Carly has a proven track record of incompetence and in how to ruin a company and destroy jobs. (her rein at Hewlitt Packard)
Classless Cruz would have been much better of in offering that position to someone with a PROVEN track record of sucess.
In my humble opinion, he would have made a MUCH better decision (as well as gained some MUCH needed support) if he had offered the V.P. position to Ben Carson~~but I believe Ben Carson has enough self respect, common sense, and wisdom to stear clear of Lyin’ Ted.
Overall, I’m more than happy with HIS decision.
cristoiglesia says
Carson has already been offered the VP spot by Trump. That was his promise for endorsing Trump.
Constitutionalist says
Gotta source?
Just googled “Carson Trump’s VP” and got a lot of hits on how Carson WANTS to be his VP, and that he’s LOBBYING for the position, but nowhere have i seen any source which claims it’s a fait accompli.
So unless you have such a source, it might behoove you to cease bearing false witness.

You do know trump hired illegals, even for marlago? You know he funded gang of 8 for amnesty? You know his plan to deport 11 million ois now, just a touch back program?
Now Cruz was fighting the gang of 8 and won. Cruz was discussing stoppingillegal immigration at least by 2012. While trump was still hiring them.
Cruz plan is to enforce the laws already on the books and hiring more border guards to stop illegals, and stop the sanctuary cities.
And on top that is Cruz 10% flat tax for individuals and 16% for biz. A d get rid of all the excessive regulations by doing these 2 things will restart the economy.
Think about it.
dprato says
Let me say this at the outset. I am a Trump supporter but would have voted for Ted Cruz as a second choice if he had been the nominee. That has changed for the following reasons: Cruz like Obama fails to realize the buck stops with him and when his campaign made errors which he did apologize for he claimed he didn’t know those things happened. Lame excuse. As a supposedly non Establishment politician he has accepted a $31 million donation from a Wall Street Hedge Fund Manager who now owns him and Cruz’s wife is a Wall Street insider. He bought off Carly Fiorina with a $500,000 donation to keep his alleged affairs with one of her campaign people a secret. He has, also, accepted the help of Establishment Republicans and joined the stop Trump movement. Seems to me if you are a legitimate person you campaign to win by getting the votes not by stopping someone else so you can use back door politics to get what you want. To me that is being disrespectful of the voters in the party and all this nonsense about stop Trump or anyone else I find to be an insult to the Rank and File Republican voter. I live in Colorado and had no opportunity to vote for the nominee. No caucus and no primary. All the polls I could find had Trump well ahead of Cruz. Cruz got all 34 delegates. I will never vote for Ted Cruz even if he is the nominee, I will not support any Republican Candidate from Colorado, and I will become an Independent and leave the party if Trump does not get the nomination because of all this back door politics.
John Lamb says
Good for you, but don’t stop there, vote alternative Repubs in at the next election in Colorado. That’s how you fire politicians.
Arthur Hartsock says
First of all, Ted Cruz didn’t make Colorado’s delegate rules. Those rules were there before this campaign. Cruz just knows how to work the system better than Mr. Trump. Next $31 million is chump change in today’s politics. Where have you been? Finally, Mr. Trump knew what was coming in New York and the northeastern state primaries. So those delegates in Colorado were chump change. Mr. Trump just wanted to complain/whine and keep himself in the media spotlight. He was successful, so what are all the Trump fans crying about?!!
dprato says
I want to state at the outset that this comment has nothing to do with this article in particular. I am interested in sharing some bipartisan thoughts about the topic, We Are The Party, and address it to both Democrats and Republicans alike.
This election cycle has focused my thinking about the process we go through in both parties to select a candidate to represent us in the November elections. During the Democratic primaries Democrats vote for their choice but the “Party” has super delegates who are not beholding to the rank and file Democratic voter. On the Republican side it is apparent that when they don’t like who the rank and file Republicans are voting for “they” the “Party” try to decide who is going to be the nominee over the choice of the majority of their members. In both cases the Democratic and Republican parties forget that in reality you and I “Are the Party” and we should be the ones that ultimately decide who represents us.
To this end I am suggesting a voter “Revolution” where people push back hard on their respective parties and remind those in charge that you and I are the party and we really don’t care for these rules that take the ultimate say away from those of us who are also registered Democrats and Republicans. I would urge those of you who agree to write and call your respective Congressional, State and Local representatives to complain about the “process” in addition to the DNC and RNC depending on your party affiliation.
I think its time that the people involved in the political process understand that they only derive their authority from the People when we give it to them and WE need to recognize that when we acquiesce and let them do as they wish we are abrogating our individual prerogatives to have them represent us as we would like to be represented.
Those of you who feel you agree with my sentiments are free to use this statement in any comments or letters or conversations you have. It is my intention to insert this statement in the comments of every article I read online and to hopefully start a movement that will hold both political parties accountable to their members.
Thanks for reading this whether you agree or not.
John Lamb says
And if your representatives don’t respond positively, campaign against them the next time they’re standing for elections. It’s the stick that the populace actually has for firing them for non-performance.

Remember when (I’m showing my age now) we nominated and elected truly great men to occupy the White House?
The likes of war heroes, generals, and honest men who really cared about this country,,,,,,,,
Now look at the pathetic dog and pony show we have to put up with today.
All the democrats can come up with is repulsive crap like the Hildabeast and her perverted hubby who looks like he caught a case of AIDS from one of the preteens he’s been rumored to have hung around with.
By the way Hillary,,, Who is Chelseys real Daddy? Care to discuss that fact?
Hillary, a vulgar excuse for a democratic candidate, has done a outstanding job of pulling off her deception on the blacks and other minorities in this country. These folks don’t remember the 60’s and 70’s when the democrats did everything in their power to suppress legislation promoting black equal rights.
When we do put a woman in the White House, lets put in a honorable one.
Not ,,,this bag of low class, self serving, piece of S#%t.
And you GOP folks haven’t really done much better,,,,,
Out of seventeen possibilities, the people have narrowed down their choice to two candidates.
And yet,,, the party insiders are still trying to ignore our wishes.
Hey Kasich where ya been hiding the last few weeks? Really lost all respect for you after the last B.S you tried to pull off.
Maybe you and the Cuban can do the turd, whoops, I mean third party routine after Trump cleans your clock during the next few weeks.
As to Trump,,,, Just what is Presidential?
Do we want another wimpy ass moron, that sucks up to everything the Middle East throws at us?
Just like,,, what we have had to put up with the last seven years with obama? (Want more of the same, vote for Hillary.)
Or,,,,, A leader who keeps his cards close and well hidden from our enemies.
Trump may not turn out to be some national hero, but it sure beats having another worthless slug in charge of the Country.

THEY ARE GLOBALIST, USED BY THE EVIL GOVERNMENT TO CARRY OUT THEIR AGENDA! FOR THE PAST 28 YEARS, THE ELITE HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN TO DISMANTLE THE UNITED STATES, CREATING A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. THEY WANT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES TO BE TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON THE GOVERNMENT. THERE SLAVES, WORKING FOR THEM AND BEING TAXED OUT OF THIS WORLD. BUT, ALL IT TOOK WAS A MAN LIKE DONALD TRUMP TO UNCOVER THEIR EVIL DEEDS IN 9 MONTHS! THE GLOBALIST, THE BILDERBERG BOYS, THE ILLUMINATI, WHO ARE THE EVIL GOVERNMENT, NEVER TOOK TRUMP SERIOUS, SO THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING. WHEN THEY SAW HIM GETTING THE CROWDS OF PEOPLE COMING TO HIS RALLIES, THEY WENT INTO PANIC MODE! IT SHOWS THEM THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, WHO THEY THOUGHT WERE STUPID AND ASLEEP, ARE NOT! THAT IS WHY YOU SEE SO MANY SUPERPACS, WITH THE MOST LYING PROPAGANDA, BEING SHOVELED OUT OVER THE MEDIA FOR ALL TO BELIEVE! TRUMP WANTS TO UNDUE ALL THAT THE EVIL GOVERNMENT HAS DONE TO THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE HE IS NOT APART OF THEIR SCHEMES! HE WANTS TO TAKE CARE OF OUR SIOLDIERS, WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR FREEDOM; TO BUILD UP THE MILITARY FOR OUR PROPTECTION, HE WANTS TO SHORE UP THE BORDERS, WHETHER CANADA OR MEXICO; GET RID OF OBAMACARE; KEEP PLAN PARENTHOOD FOR WOMAN BUT NOT THE ABORTION PART; VET ALL PEOPLE COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES EVEN THOUGH THEIR ARE ISIS CELLS HERE ALREADY; HE IS NOT BEING PREJUDICE, HE WANTS TO GET A HANDLE ON THE SITUATION; TAKE OUT ISIS WITH THE HELP OF THE OTHER COUNTRIES; KEEP SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE, GET RID OF COMMON CORE SO YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WILL NOT BE BRAINWASHED BY THE EVIL GOVERNMENT; FIX THE BUDGET; BRING BACK JOBS; STOP THE PERSECUTION OF THE CHRISTIANS AND STOP SILENCING THE PASTORS IN THE UNITED STATES; AND SUPPORT ISRAEL, ETC.! HE IS NOT A SAVIOR. HE IS TRYING TO REALLY MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, PUTTING AMERICA FIRST. THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT DONALD TRUMP BE VOTED IN THE FIRST TIME AROUND, GETTING THE 1237 DELEGATES. I KNOW THAT WILL HAPPEN WITH YOUR HELP! EVEN AFTER THAT THE EVIL GOVERNMENT WILL NOT WANT TO LET GO OF THEIR AGENDA, WHICH IS BRINGING IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER. THIS WILL BE A GREAT CHALLENGE BUT WITH GOD’S HELP, NOTHIING IS IMPOSSIBLE. I WOULD JUST ASK THAT YOU WOULD SEEK THE LORD BECAUSE IF HE DOES NOT GET IN, IT WILL BE DESTRUCTION FOR THE UNITED STATES AND EVERYONE IN IT!

This is a very good example of what happens in a political campaign. In January Carly Fiorina was completely opposed to Ted Cruz and publicly criticized him. Not three months later he’s the best candidate for the job. Ted Cruz didn’t change, but circumstances changed and Carly is singing a different tune. And if Mr. Trump wins the required delegates to win on the first ballot, he’ll start talking differently about Mr. Cruz. No more Lyin Ted. Now he’ll need his and his followers’ support in the General Election. So Mr. Trump will be speaking a lot more highly of Mr. Cruz. That’s politics, folks. Mr. Trump knew what he was saying about Mr. Cruz was BS, but it was part of the political game. Does anyone not understand this?!!
Trump Trump Trump says
Carly has ruined any chance of running for office again. Accepting the VP invitation from loser Cruz nails Carly as stupid. It proves that both Carly and Ted are desperate at this point. Wave bye bye, Carly.
