He's creating a narrative that Ted Cruz is a slimy cheat and a liar. He also doesn't like to lose and hasn't had much practice at it.

Seriously though, he needs to let it go. Cruz got 8 delegates, Trump got 7. Move on. |

Indeed!
But why start hurling slanderous accusations around?
The Presidency of the USA is perhaps the the most important and powerful position in the world and it can't be given to a man(?) with this level of immaturity!
The world needs people that want solve problems, not create them.
Nice Toupee btw, it suits you! |

Two issues here, I think. One is that Cruz did play dirty and got up to some pretty questionable things in the lead-up to the poll. Second is that Trump has the mindset of a petulant ten year old and absolutely no sense of how he comes across. If he had any intention of being a serious candidate and I were advising him, first advice I'd give him is either ditch the personal Twitter account, get someone else to vet the tweets before they're published or just exercise some common sense before posting. At present, he's a presidential candidate with the public social media feed of a Kardashian. But Trump will be Trump, I guess... _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

No David there is only 1 issue/question here, "Is Trump the right man to be President"? and the answer is a resounding NO!
Trump's problem (well 1 of them anyway) is that he does not understand what Democracy is.
Polls are just indications of what voters MIGHT do not what they will do.
If Trump doesn't understand that he is not responsible* enough to run the USA!
*please David lets not get into a debate about what I think that word means. |

No disagreements here. More to the point, if the American people elect him, then they will have shown that they're not responsible enough to live in a democracy. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

One more think Dave. The US caucus's were all ways full of dirty tricks, deal and promise making and breaking.
They are that way because it sorts the Wheat from the chaff (or in this case the Toupees). |

Interesting comment considering the comparison in the thread title and the fact that the Liberal party were elected to government with Abbott as leader. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Let's be honest.
Cruz is just as bad a candidate as the Donald.
He's probably actually worse with his own party apparently loathing him and at least Trump is probably only pretending the "religious conservative" part of being a right wing nut bag.
Cruz is the genuine article. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

I agree, Swoop. Cruz is certainly more of a serious politician, but on every other level he's worse than Trump. He'd be a disaster as president.

You know what I think about Abbott, and honestly I think that election didn't reflect well on the Australian people's education and knowledge of economics. But Trump makes Abbott look like a Rhodes Scholar (yeah, I know, lol). _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Don't underestimate public opinion. Abbott got in because he wasn't labor and people were sick to death of Labour and the ongoing soap operas.
People in the US are tired of the same old politicians, Trump is different. Doesn't mean he's any good but what you've seen so far and what you will see in the future is a re-thinking so to speak of how US politicians go about it. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Jeb Bush, you come from a family I don't particularly like but well done to you too!!!
BTW, Jeb it was you that should have been president, not your knit whit brother!!!
http://www.vox.com/2016/2/6/10929734/republican-debate-trump-bush
Donald Trump doesn't like being interrupted. At the Republican debate on Saturday, when Jeb Bush broke into one of Trump's answers, Trump turned around and shushed Bush.
This was a continuation of how Trump has long handled Bush, often verbally bullying the Florida governor and characterizing him as weak.
Trump defended the practice — specifically, calling it necessary to build roads and other infrastructure.
"Eminent domain is an absolute necessity for a country," he said. "Without it, you wouldn't have roads, you wouldn't have hospitals, you wouldn't have anything. You wouldn't have schools, you wouldn't have bridges. You need eminent domain."
Bush then responded that Trump hadn't just defended eminent domain for these kind of public projects, but for his own private projects, as well.
"The difference between eminent domain for public purpose — as Donald said, roads and infrastructure, pipelines, and all that — that's for public purpose," Bush said. "But what Donald Trump did was use eminent domain to try to take the property of an elderly woman on the strip in Atlantic City for car park for limousines for his casinos. That is not public purpose. That is downright wrong."
"Shut up" said Trump.
Phhht!!! |
