Trump whines and threatens lawsuits as Cruz outmaneuvers him in the delegate chase

Turns out that running a campaign based on personality and free media, without much actual campaign organization, can turn around and bite you, something Donald Trump is starting to find out. Trump is winning primaries, but that’s not the whole ballgame. In many states, convention delegates are chosen after the primaries … and Ted Cruz’s campaign is swooping in and organizing, working to pick up every possible delegate while Trump’s campaign has been sitting back and assuming the delegates were in the bag.

This time around, I may skip TV coverage of the Democratic convention and watch the GOP one, instead. It could be very entertaining, although the best stuff will be happening behind close doors.

and at this stage in life expose themselves to be borderline morons, without someone doing the work for them.

Dont know how it works, but of this I have no doubt.

Donald Trump is not very smart, at all, but he is just smart enough to know how to cheat people. If you are willing to do that in our system you will get rich.

There is too much dirty money tied into the GOP, to let some upstart like Trump show up and disrupt the flow of criminality. He might join in or not. I don't think the heavy hitters even want to take that chance.

Watch his followers turn on their own party and for Cruz followers to retaliate. This will get violent and nasty.

I'm pretty sure that Trump will do whatever he can to screw him over including running as an inependent.
