Tec, again you're missing the big picture.

Trump is running a 'Washington Politicians are corrupt' 'The people voice is not heard' campaign. He's been doing this since day 1.

The Colorado ordeal couldn't have played any better for him. It PROVES to many people that have felt they don't have a voice that the RULES are set up in a way where the majority of voters in Colorado have no voice. He's piggy backed Louisiana on this too. Brilliant move. If these were missteps, then Trump has certainly recovered VERY well. Watch those Americans that feel they don't have a say and have been on the fence fall in behind Trump. Even better it makes Lyin' Ted look more like a snake, a slimy backroom dealing politician. And btw - Cruz did nothing wrong.... But Trump has made him look really bad.
It could have played better for him, he could have won some delegates. But his campaign isn't capable of that.

The rules for how the primaries and caucuses are conducted are archaic. Even the Electoral College is archaic. Both should probably be changed and updated to something that makes sense for the 21st century.

But unless and until that happens, candidates need to try to figure out how to work within the existing framework to their advantage.

If your guy can't do that without whining like a petulant three year old, maybe he's campaigning for the wrong job.

DiBlasio and Clinton joke about being on "Colored People" time.

Racism defines the Democrat Party since 1856.
The joke was racist, but you realize that most of the racists bailed on the Democrats in the 1960s and went to the GOP, right?
Their policies are still racist.

Instead of helping minorities get ahead, they just make sure that menial jobs are filled by them with Affirmative Action.

Instead of letting them stand on their own 2 feet the liberal goes "Oh, look at the dumb minority, we have to give them a quarter, pat them on their head and send them away".

This. How is Trump going to run the country if he can't run an effective campaign?

Proof that he isn't?
4/13/2016 11:08 AM
Proof that you both really need proof?
4/13/2016 11:11 AM
I don't really need proof. But that's a taint/BL thing. "TRUMP ISN'T WORTH 10 BILLION!!!" taint wants proof without providing anything stating he isn't and BL says Trump pulled that number out of his *** then BL pulls a different number from his own ***.

They're both pretty retarded on this subject.
4/13/2016 11:22 AM
I'm not pulling the number out of my ***, though. This is from Fortune Magazine, sourced from a report done by the AP:

Index funds are friend, not foe.

Trump’s net worth has grown about 300% to an estimated $4 billion since 1987, according to a report by the Associated Press. But the real estate mogul would have made even more money if he had just invested in index funds. The AP says that, if Trump had invested in an index fund in 1988, his net worth would be as much as $13 billion.

The S&P 500 has grown 1,336% since 1988.

Other billionaires’ net worths have beaten the stock market’s growth in that time. Bill Gates, for example, saw his grow increase 7,173% since 1988 to $80 billion. Warren Buffet’s wealth grew 2,612% in the same time period, to $67.8 billion.

Apparently, Mike still has a case of the red *** over the whole treasury bonds debacle.

Trumps running on changing business as usual.... Before he can change anything he needs the people behind him. That's his leverage for change. This is EXACTLY what Trump needed to get people fired up about an inherently 'rigged' system. If he ran his campaign by the rules he is no better than a politician.... But by winning DESPITE the rules he proves he's a change agent. You'll see this Colorado ordeal will help Trump as he gets a national polling bump. What you guys are overlooking is the popularity of Trump with the masses.... He's almost at 50% support amongst the Republican voting block... Hes filling stadiums withbloyal supporters.... He's polling in the 60%+ range for if Trump is close in delegates he should be the nominee.... He's already established if he loses the nomination it's because of backroom political shenanigans. He's put the party between a rock and a hard place. By July, the party and the delegates, will have no choice but to give him the nominee.... And that's BRILLIANT on Trumps part.

?

You're still operating under the idea that Trump needs votes. He need delegates. Without them, the party will absolutely have a choice.

It doesn't matter how he is polling if he is falling short of 1237. And, partly because he missed out on any delegates in CO, he is falling short of 1237.

Edit:
Again, I want Trump to be the GOP nominee. But if he can't effectively run his campaign within the established party rules, then there is no way he's going to convince the party that he would be viable in the November election or a good President if elected.

So a businessman lies about his net worth and that's a problem? Have you noticed that ALL politicians lie about something?
