    i'd call bullshit on the national enquirer story about ted cruz banging a bunch of prostitutes but damn if they weren't the ones who broke the john edwards affair story (after the mainstream media came to the incorrect conclusion that the affair rumors were false).

    most importantly, if ted cruz really did bang bridget the midget then he definitely gets my vote.

    Of couse. I was just making conversation it wasn't really about Cruz I just meant it in a general way.
    But yeah he is a big family values guy.... his kids love him so much his little girl won't even give him a kiss.
    If you can't look and listen to Cruz for a few minutes and figure out he is a slimey lying fuck then your judgement of character must not be very good.

    old midget banging booger eating lying ted is literally stealing delegates from the donald lol


    "Ted Cruz Gains in Louisiana After Loss There to Donald Trump
    Despite coming up short in state’s Republican presidential primary, Texan picks up more delegates and controls key convention roles

    By REID J. EPSTEIN
    March 24, 2016 7:26 p.m. ET

    Donald Trump beat Sen. Ted Cruz earlier this month in Louisiana’s Republican presidential primary by 3.6 percentage points, but the Texan may wind up with as many as 10 more delegates from the state than the businessman.

    Mr. Cruz’s supporters also seized five of Louisiana’s six slots on the three powerful committees that will write the rules and platform at the Republican National Convention and mediate disputes over delegates’ eligibility this summer in Cleveland.

    The little-noticed inside maneuvering that led to this outcome in Louisiana is another dramatic illustration of the inside game that could have an outsize influence on the bitter race for the GOP nomination. A similar process played out three weeks ago in Coweta County, Ga.

    While Mr. Trump leads in winning primary and caucus elections, and has won more delegates, the Cruz campaign is proving superior at the arcane game of picking the people who will be the actual delegates to the convention, where they will help write the rules and ultimately choose the nominee.

    That means that if Mr. Trump fails to reach the delegate threshold to claim the GOP nomination on the convention’s first ballot, committees dominated by Cruz supporters could work to block him from winning enough delegates to claim the nomination on any subsequent ballots.

    Kay Kellogg Katz, a Trump supporter who sought unsuccessfully to win a position on a key panel at the convention, summarized the Trump campaign’s predicament this way: “I do not know Mr. Trump, I do not know his staff people. Quite frankly, we don’t have much of a campaign in Louisiana. All we have is voters.”


    In other states, Trump supporters have missed out on the early process of becoming convention delegates because they are relatively inexperienced in the party processes. But in Louisiana, Mr. Trump won broad support among elected officials despite a bare-bones campaign infrastructure. Still, he has lagged behind on delegate selection.

    With 20 states left to vote, Mr. Trump has won 739 delegates out of 1,237 required to clinch the GOP nomination. He has to win about 55% of the remaining delegates to avoid a contested convention.

    Stacking the convention and its committees with supporters is critical for Mr. Cruz, because a contested convention is his only viable path to the nomination. The Texan must win 85% of the remaining delegates to win outright, a highly unlikely scenario with many states awarding delegates proportionally.

    The Trump campaign’s first problem is in the overall delegate count from Louisiana. Messrs. Trump and Cruz each won 18 delegates apiece based on the Louisiana results in the primary on March 5. But the five delegates awarded to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio are now free agents because he ended his campaign, and Louisiana Republicans expect them to swing behind Mr. Cruz.

    Meanwhile, the state’s five unbound delegates—who are free to back the candidates of their choice—also are more likely to back Mr. Cruz than Mr. Trump, according to GOP officials in the state.

    The second step in the process is for those delegates to decide who will represent Louisiana on the three important convention committees— rules, credentials and the party platform. To make those choices, most of Louisiana’s delegates gathered at a March 12 state convention to elect two members to each panel.

    No Trump backers won any of those slots. Five of the six committee members chosen back Mr. Cruz, and the sixth is uncommitted to a presidential candidate. Louisiana is the first state to name delegates to serve on the three committees.

    Those panels would become critical in a contested convention, which would take place if no candidate wins a majority of delegates on the first ballot. The rules panel will determine which candidates are eligible to be nominated for president, the platform panel will write the party’s agenda, and the credentials panel will mediate disputes about which delegates can be seated. Such fights are already taking place in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam, and may happen as well elsewhere.


    Ms. Katz, a former state legislator from Monroe, La., who then-Gov. Bobby Jindal appointed to a state tax commission, sought a position on the credentials committee. She lost a 22-5 vote to Kim Fralick, a Cruz supporter who has never before been involved in a major political campaign.

    Ms. Katz, who said she has attended every GOP convention since 1984, said the Cruz forces out-organized Mr. Trump’s campaign, whom she said showed no concern about helping their supporters win the committee slots.

    Ms. Fralick, a veterinarian from the Baton Rouge suburb of Central, said she was asked by a Cruz official if she could serve on the panel, which entails arriving in Cleveland days before the convention begins.

    “They were looking for someone who could come up a week early,” Ms. Fralick said. “I might have been a default choice.”

    Ed Brookover, the Trump official leading the campaign’s delegate team, said Thursday that he wasn’t aware that the Trump campaign had been shut out of Louisiana’s committee slots. He expressed optimism that “other spots where this is taking place, we now have programs and plans in place to make sure that Mr. Trump’s supporters are getting to county, district and state conventions.”

    Mr. Brookover added that “the good news is that when we let Mr. Trump’s supporters know about these things, they are enthusiastic and go running to them.”

    The one Trump supporter appointed to a senior post in the Louisiana convention delegation is Eric Skrmetta, the campaign’s state co-chairman who was named vice chairman of the state’s GOP convention delegation, a largely ceremonial position that carries no statutory responsibilities. Mr. Skrmetta, who is an elected member of the Louisiana Public Service Commission, didn’t respond to requests for comment this week.

    Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, is a Cruz supporter who was named one of Louisiana’s two members on the platform committee. Mr. Perkins said the Cruz campaign sought to get its members appointed to the rules and credentials panels to protect itself in the event of a contested convention.

    “It’s more of a defensive posture than anything,” Mr. Perkins said. “They don’t want the rules to be used against them. It’s more of knowing how potent the rules can be and making sure they are fair.”

    The Donald just cut the head off that snake, nice. Is it safe to assume Donald won't be picking Cruz as a running mate?
    So yea, Louis Theroux did an investigative piece on brothels and whores or some shit.
    There was a midget hooker and it was common knowledge among the whores that the guys who chose her were usually pedos. Anyhwho, I thought TC was gay.

    Any chance the Donald wasn't in bed with the mafia? It's not like it will hurt his poll numbers or anything, just curious.

    how crazy would it be if clinton won the election because utah voted democrat for the first time in forever. frankly, i never thought i'd see utah go dem in my lifetime, but my former brethren sure do dislike trump and somehow trump would manage to turn one of the reddest states in our glorious union into a battleground state like ohio or florida. the below article is pretty good so take a look at it if youre a politics nerd. it's fairly long so i only quoted part of it.

    "Poll: Utah would vote for a Democrat for president over Trump

    By Lisa Riley Roche, Deseret News

    SALT LAKE CITY — If Donald Trump becomes the Republican Party's nominee, Utahns would vote for a Democrat for president in November for the first time in more than 50 years, according to a new Deseret News/KSL poll.

    "I believe Donald Trump could lose Utah. If you lose Utah as a Republican, there is no hope," said former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, a top campaign adviser to the GOP's 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney.

    The poll found that may well be true. Utah voters said they would reject Trump, the GOP frontrunner, whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is the Democratic candidate on the general election ballot.

    While Clinton was only slightly ahead of Trump — 38 percent to 36 percent — Sanders, a self-declared Democratic socialist, holds a substantial lead — 48 percent to 37 percent over the billionaire businessman and reality TV star among likely Utah voters.

    "Wow. Wow. That's surprising," said Chris Karpowitz, co-director of Brigham Young University's Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy. "Any matchup in which Democrats are competitive in the state of Utah is shocking."

    Also surprising is the number of Utahns who said they wouldn't vote if Trump were on the ballot. Sixteen percent said they'd skip the election if Trump and Clinton were their ballot choices, while 9 percent said they wouldn't vote if it was a Trump-Sanders matchup.

    Both Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich would beat either Democratic candidate in Utah, the poll found. Sanders came closest against Cruz, with 39 percent of Utahns backing Sanders to 53 percent for Cruz.

    The Democratic candidates fare even better against Trump among Utah's many unaffiliated voters. Clinton would win Utah by 17 points, the poll found, while Sanders would see a 36-point victory if the election were held today. The margin of error for unaffiliated voters is nearly 7 percent.


    The poll was conducted for the Deseret News and KSL on March 8-15 by Dan Jones & Associates of 500 registered voters statewide. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.38 percent, so the Clinton-Trump results fall within that margin.

    Utah hasn't voted for a Democratic candidate for president in a general election since then-President Lyndon Johnson was running against Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater in 1964.

    Every now and then the Republicans elect a real evangelical (Noah's Ark, Earth 2000 yo) who's not using abortion just to get the evang. vote. I bet their not to thrilled about him signing this outrageous bullshit as the fight for control of the supreme court rages on. I still stand by my position that abortion is settled law by the SCOTUS.

    Indiana just banned abortion if the fetus has Down syndrome.

    Trump won't win NY.

    State demographics are way more of a factor than the individual candidate running (with the exception of Trump in Utah, which is a unique case).

    For example, Al Gore lost his home state in 2000, despite it being a super-close election.

    You do get a bump from it being your home state, but NY is so solidly blue, there's no way a Republican takes it.

    Not sure if you're up on this yet but Trump is about as much a republican as Bloomberg is.

    He's more of a Republican than Hillary, though. And he's running on the R ticket.

    And Hillary was a Senator there.

    Suffice to say Trump is going to get smacked down in NY.

    If you believe otherwise, you should go on PredictIt and lay some $ on it, and you will make a lot if correct.

    I wouldn't hazard anything until they debate. We're not even past the point of figuring out if there will be a brokered convention.

    No idea if The Washington Post holds bias towards whatever party, but they've done a decent job in laying bare just how ill equipped Trump is for presidency.

    The full transcript is in the link.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...4403&tid=ss_tw


    Donald Trump’s ignorance of government policy, both foreign and domestic, is breathtaking. The Republican Party is likely to nominate for president a man who appears to know next to nothing about the issues that would confront him in the job.

    Such a sweeping condemnation may sound unfair. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump were already busy tweeting that I’m a “dummy” or something. But if you read the transcript of Trump’s hour-long meeting with the editorial board of The Post, which took place Monday, I don’t see how you can come to any other conclusion.

    I should note that I’m not a member of the board and therefore did not attend. But The Post published a full transcript , and it is one of the most chilling documents I’ve read in a long time.

    I have argued for many months that Trump should be taken seriously, that he has tapped into a legitimate anger and that he understands the Republican base far better than the party establishment does. I’ve had cordial conversations with him, on the telephone and in television studios, and I agree with those who say he should never be underestimated. So I’m not a reflexive Trump hater. I am, however, appalled at how little he knows — and truly frightened.


    Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump visited the editorial board of The Washington Post on Mar. 21. Here is audio of the full, unedited interview. (Gillian Brockell/The Washington Post)

    The editors and writers at The Post were not playing “gotcha,” as the transcript clearly shows. They asked straightforward questions such as, “Do you see any racial disparities in law enforcement?”

    Trump’s response was to give an empty soliloquy, ending with the declaration that “I’m a very strong believer in law enforcement, but I’m also a very strong believer that the inner cities can come back.” Asked twice more whether blacks and whites receive disparate treatment, Trump offered this:

    “I’ve read where there are and I’ve read where there aren’t. I mean, I’ve read both. And, you know, I have no opinion on that. Because frankly, what I’m saying is you know we have to create incentives for people to go back and to reinvigorate the areas and to put people to work. And you know we have lost millions and millions of jobs to China and other countries. And they’ve been taken out of this country, and when I say millions, you know it’s, it’s tremendous. I’ve seen 5 million jobs, I’ve seen numbers that range from 6 million to, to smaller numbers. But it’s many millions of jobs, and it’s to countries all over. Mexico is really becoming the new China. And I have great issue with that.”

    He continued in that vein at length, bemoaning that “you’re losing Pfizer to Ireland,” until yet another attempt was made to get him back to the original question. He finally allowed that disparate treatment of African Americans “would concern me” but said it could be solved, if it existed, by creating “incentives for companies to move in and create jobs.”

    He was reminded that tax incentives and enterprise zones have been tried many times. What would be different about his approach?


    “I think what’s different is we have a very divided country,” Trump began. “And whether we like it or not, it’s divided as bad as I’ve ever seen it.” The rambling speech that followed ended with a pledge to be “a great cheerleader for the country.”

    On foreign affairs, Trump was even more vague and vapid. Asked about the future of NATO, he was skeptical of the Cold War’s most vital alliance. He complained that we devote “hundreds of billions of dollars to supporting other countries that are, in theory, wealthier than we are.”

    Called on that figure, he dialed it back to mere “billions.” His proposed solution was to “structure a much different deal . . . a much better deal.” I can’t help but imagine German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande being treated like minor partners in building some luxury condos or a new golf course.

    Asked about Russian aggression in Ukraine, Trump said that “other people” should be doing more. Asked about China’s bullying actions in the South China Sea, he seemed to indicate he would be prepared to punish the Chinese with a trade war — but later took it back and said he wanted to be unpredictable.

    I won’t even get into Trump’s lengthy defense of the size of his hands. Please read the transcript. Then decide whether it’s conceivable to put a man who knows so little in charge of so much.

    Donald Trump’s ignorance of government policy, both foreign and domestic, is breathtaking. The Republican Party is likely to nominate for president a man who appears to know next to nothing about the issues that would confront him in the job.

    Such a sweeping condemnation may sound unfair. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump were already busy tweeting that I’m a “dummy” or something. But if you read the transcript of Trump’s hour-long meeting with the editorial board of The Post, which took place Monday, I don’t see how you can come to any other conclusion.

    I should note that I’m not a member of the board and therefore did not attend. But The Post published a full transcript , and it is one of the most chilling documents I’ve read in a long time.

    I have argued for many months that Trump should be taken seriously, that he has tapped into a legitimate anger and that he understands the Republican base far better than the party establishment does. I’ve had cordial conversations with him, on the telephone and in television studios, and I agree with those who say he should never be underestimated. So I’m not a reflexive Trump hater. I am, however, appalled at how little he knows — and truly frightened.


    Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump visited the editorial board of The Washington Post on Mar. 21. Here is audio of the full, unedited interview. (Gillian Brockell/The Washington Post)

    The editors and writers at The Post were not playing “gotcha,” as the transcript clearly shows. They asked straightforward questions such as, “Do you see any racial disparities in law enforcement?”

    Trump’s response was to give an empty soliloquy, ending with the declaration that “I’m a very strong believer in law enforcement, but I’m also a very strong believer that the inner cities can come back.” Asked twice more whether blacks and whites receive disparate treatment, Trump offered this:

    “I’ve read where there are and I’ve read where there aren’t. I mean, I’ve read both. And, you know, I have no opinion on that. Because frankly, what I’m saying is you know we have to create incentives for people to go back and to reinvigorate the areas and to put people to work. And you know we have lost millions and millions of jobs to China and other countries. And they’ve been taken out of this country, and when I say millions, you know it’s, it’s tremendous. I’ve seen 5 million jobs, I’ve seen numbers that range from 6 million to, to smaller numbers. But it’s many millions of jobs, and it’s to countries all over. Mexico is really becoming the new China. And I have great issue with that.”

    No opinion? China? Mexico?

    big deal, so Trump isn't up on stuff the political establishment thinks is important...he will hire an expert to help him with that, just like any CEO does..

    understand the Trump and Sanders supporters don't care about the stuff in the Washington Post article...those supporters are angry...they believe (rightly imho) most all of the economic growth over the past 40 years has gone to the top 1%...the trickle down prosperity promised by Reagan & Laffer didn't get to them...indeed, now both man & wife need to work to provide a middle class living their parents needed only the father to provide...meanwhile, the rich got tax cuts and a government bailout...the tea party and the occupy movements, while on opposite ends of the political spectrum, both target the insiders that wrote rules/laws to benefit themselves at the expense of the ordinary guy. Trump and Sanders promise to fix that inequity...

    what is happening is a populist movement that will reshape the political environment as Jennings Bryant did in 1890's, FDR did in the 1930's, Reagan did in the 1980's
