Ted Left Us This When He Quit

Thanks, Ted!

Not Exactly a Broad Base of Support

Ted Cruz,  in his outsider’s bid for the White House, has depended heavily on the largesse of just three wealthy donors to establish credibility and stay afloat amid a chaotic nominating process that killed off most of his rivals.

Shouldn't "outsider's" be in quotation marks? Cruz may have gone against mainstream Republicans at times, but that doesn't make him an outsider. At best, it might make him a maverick, but we had that before (and lost).

Ted Cruz is an Immigrant

Says his wife.

Maybe it was an honest mistake.

Asked later, a Cruz aide said Mrs. Cruz misspoke. "As she has in numerous speeches over and over, Heidi was referring to Ted as being the son of an immigrant," said spokeswoman Catherine Frazier.

Or maybe she believes the rumors of his infidelity and wants a little payback.

Bobby and The Donald

Bobby Knight is going to campaign with Trump in Indiana. I guess it doesn't matter now if Cruz and Kasich have a deal or not, the vote in Indiana should be wrapped up by this.

Did Cruz ever have a perfect season? I don't think so. And what was he doing in 1976 when Bobby and Indiana were having a year of 32 wins and zero losses? Probably starting kindergarten, since he would have been 5-years-old, but that's not the point. He wasn't winning basketball games for Indiana and that's what matters.

Trump Risks Breaking Up GOP

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned on Sunday that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is putting the party at risk of breaking apart.

No.

The party ignoring new (or new to the GOP) voters who are excited by Trump is putting itself at risk. The party ignoring how many people, both Republicans for Trump and Democrats for Sanders, who are attracted to the party outsiders is putting the party at risk.

This obliviousness isn't helping them. The GOP really is determined to take the "Lose with Cruz" route.

Cruz Tries to Be Relevant

Another day of The Donald sucking up all of the media attention and another day of Cruz trying to get noticed.

Donald Trump: Transgender people should be able to use whatever bathroom they want.
Ted Cruz tweets: "We shouldn't be facilitating putting little girls alone in a bathroom w/ grown men. That's just a bad, bad, bad idea"

Because not forcing businesses to go to the expense of building a gender-neutral bathroom, or hiring someone to check the genitals of everyone using the bathrooms, or changing the laws - most building codes require two separate restrooms for men and women now - is exactly the same as tossing your young daughter into a den of perverts.

If you're worried about men dressed as women molesting your daughters, why aren't you worried about men molesting your sons in the men's room?

About Colorado

Some Trump supporters are crying foul after Ted Cruz walked away with all of Colorado's delegates. Sorry, friends, he followed Colorado's rules and did it perfectly fairly (as far as I know at this point.)

This does make it look a bit fishy.

If you don't like how the Colorado Republicans run their party, follow the lead of Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams and boycott the state. (Springsteen cancelled a concert in North Carolina and Adams cancelled on in Mississippi.) Don't book trips to Colorado. Don't buy things online from Colorado stores. Don't do business with Colorado-based businesses.

Here's a list of some Colorado-based restaurants and other businesses that may have products available in local stores or may even have an outlet near you:

• Boston Market
• Noodles & Company
• Red Robin
• Smashburger
• Qdoba Mexican Grill
• Quizno's
• Re/Max International
• Dish Network
• Western Union
• Otterbox
• Samsonite
• Celestial Seasonings
• Jolly Rancher
• Coors
• Odell Brewing Company
• Crocs
• Waterpik

Granted, a lot of these companies are probably run by Democrats who neither know nor care what the state's Republican party is doing, but do you think that Springsteen asked ticket buyers if they supported the law or not before he decided not to show?

Don't go. Don't buy. Be sure to mention every non-purchase on Twitter or Facebook. If you're actually going so far as to cancel travel plans to Colorado, be sure to tweet the news to the CO GOP and let them know they're the reason.

It's not about what's fair, it's about who's the loudest.

He Also Denied Eating a Booger

☑ REKT

Cruz accused Trump of getting the National Enquirer to publish the story but The Daily Beast says it was being peddled by friends of Marco Rubio.
