"In theory, Washington Republicans' delegate move will have little effect: despite electing delegates at this state convention, those delegates are bound to vote according to the statewide results in this Tuesday's upcoming Washington primary."
Cruz didn't get shit, and won't till Tuesday.

"Cruz's state campaign manager, Saul Gamoran, said many Washington state Republicans are "taking a wait-and-see attitude" to Trump's candidacy."
Wait and see if Hillary is the better choice in November? Or that a Romney-backed mystery candidate arises at the Convention? |

Will defend him to others and gladly vote for him in the general election. You need to drop that brain dead, hyperbole that you spewed in the primary. Trump went into South Carolina spouting crap about Bush and 9/11. He did it because it was politically advantageous to do so in an open primary (Cruz had pulled to within a few points in polling results just before the debate). When the GOPe was desperate to stop Trump, Cruz did what was politically advantageous to make his last stand. It doesn't make Cruz any more establishment than it makes Trump a Bush hating leftist. Before you continue to bash Cruz, you need to take a long hard objective look at some of the stuff Trump has said and done during the primary. With that said...TRUMP 2016! |

Fuck the lot of them.
We've got over 300 million people in this country, and you want to tell me that the best option we had for president was the stack of fucking losers we got to vote on? Fucking Hillary is going to be the Democrat nominee, and the bitch belongs in prison, while Trump is essentially a guy without a real track record for governance? Or, real, demonstrated capacity to get shit done? Fuck the parties. Both of them. The choices we've been offered as candidates for the presidency are beyond crappy. It's like we got offered not the best available people, but the worst. I used to vote for the best candidate out there, regardless of party. After 2000, I won't vote for a fucking POS Democrat ever again, with the bullshit the Gore campaign tried to pull with the military vote in Florida. The Republicans aren't much better--They promised to stop all the Obama bullshit, but instead, they're rolling over like a bunch of obedient puppies. Fuck Boehner, and fuck Ryan, with his bullshit "Bail out Puerto Rico" rollover. Fucking Democrats bankrupt a goddamn territory, and Ryan puts the rest of the country on the hook to fucking pay for it? WTF? It's like the major cities--They elected these fucking crooks, let them pay the damn price for their malfeasance and crooked operations over the last hundred years. That's the only way people are ever going to learn that voting for the crooks is a bad idea, but, no... We're gonna bail those stupid treasonous fucks out. Puerto Rico should have been cut loose about the time they shut down that Navy firing range back in the 1990s, and allowed to either sink or swim on its own. Instead, what did we do? Paid the fuckers off, and shut down the range. Which still isn't usable for anything else... The country is run by fucking morons and crooks. They're steadily taking us into the hole, and we just keep digging it deeper. We badly need good leadership at the top, and what do these stupid fucking parties offer us? A choice between the lesser of two evils, Kang or Kodos. |

Trump is essentially a guy without a real track record for governance? Or, real, demonstrated capacity to get shit done? The first part is IMO why he'll probably end up w/ the R nomination. People are tired of politicians who don't do what they promised. The last part is absurd. Trump didn't become a multi Billionaire without a "real, demonstrated capacity to get shit done." People are voting for him because he's different, he has said a lot of things that they have wanted from their candidates and he gets things done. I don't have any doubt he'll get things done if he's elected. I'm more concerned about which direction the loose cannon will go off. |

Cruz has done this to himself and he doubled down after bailing on the Republican nominee by making statements along the lines of him not wanting to do anything other than be in the big leagues to the point of making contradictory comments like not wanting to be a SCOTUS judge because he wants to be in a position where he can make differences. Cruz was a big fish in a small pond, and jumped into the big pond too early and got exposed for all of the negative attributes about his person and subsequently failed. The only people who don't get that have some pretty damn big blinders on. "It's sad..." It's not sad, it's the way the system works. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Cruz is lucky between his flippant interviews and people hating him in power if he'll have a job in politics at all in a couple years. Its sad that here on a supposed pro-gun forum, a pro-AR rifle forum at that, that so many are cheering for Cruz to lose his Senate seat.

The only people who don't get that have some pretty damn big blinders on. "It's sad..." It's not sad, it's the way the system works. That wasnt directed specifically at you. Cruz was in it to win it, just like Trump is. Cruz will come around to supporting Trump at some point, I cant say I blame him for not wanting to throw his support behind him the moment he dropped out. |

The first part is IMO why he'll probably end up w/ the R nomination. People are tired of politicians who don't do what they promised. The last part is absurd. Trump didn't become a multi Billionaire without a "real, demonstrated capacity to get shit done." People are voting for him because he's different, he has said a lot of things that they have wanted from their candidates and he gets things done. I don't have any doubt he'll get things done if he's elected. I'm more concerned about which direction the loose cannon will go off. Quote HistoryQuoted:

He's not the guy who's done the management end of shit, at all--He's lined up the deals, and then relied on others to follow through to finish them. He's got no experience with something like the massive bureaucracy that exists in Washington, D.C., other than manipulating it to get what he wanted. Working within it, fixing it? He's got no prior history of that sort of work, unlike, say, Mitt Romney. Romney, given his performance getting the Olympics working in 2002, at least had some predictable past performance to base things off of. Trump? He's really a complete unknown. How he's going to do, being the guy running things? Nothing to base any real conclusions on... |

He picks good people, delegates things to them and works with them to get the results he's after. I think a businessman like that is exactly what we need if we're ever going to fix our screwed up / bloated bureaucracy, but I'm not sure Trump is the one we need to do it. The way I see it is that we have very little to lose at this point. Even if he's the wrong choice he won't be anywhere near as bad as Hillary, and he's far better than McCain, Romney and the other loser's we've had recently who would not fight. |
