well, ive been keeping this to myself because i had no other actual evidence of this, but im from houston and some of my family is involved in the local republican party bullshit, and several months ago my aunt said she would never vote for ted cruz because it was well known he had cheated on his wife and they had nearly divorced, and the only reason they stayed together was because she had political ambitions of her own.

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...

It actually is hilarious because they think ALL us pro-Trumpers will be enraged if he loses but instead I'll just default to my "system is rigged" views and grab some popcorn to watch Donald and his diehards melt down and implode.

Not what I meant at all. The system includes what culture tells us to value and what we hold as true etc. If Trump loses then he failed to make a persuasive enough case and he's just a mainstream Ron Paul instead of a new Reagan or Nixon.

E: i also liked Bernie and the system was more transparently against him, yet all I can hope for is that he doesn't toe the party line. Cheating doesn't apply when you're discussing things in the rules or that the party explicitly allows.

If the rules allow for injustice, it isn't cheating. It may be wrong but it still isn't cheating.

Like, if the story is true, and this interpretation is correct, and this was timed out with NE in some way or another: then Trump has managed to get Ted Cruz after a specific news cycle of presenting himself as a loving husband while simultaneously embarrassing all of the establishment Republicans - many fully on record as hating Ted Cruz (as seen in an Instagram video Trump posted recently) - who begrudgingly endorsed him.

He's running this primary like a scripted reality show and I am honestly impressed.

I don't know twitter culture, so I'm not sure how this works, but is there some kind of ball of posting energy growing, waiting for them to say something? Is there a metric of their radio silence?

It doesn't matter at all for the people here who still think Trump is dumb. The constant victories in which he manipulates the entire media into thinking he is finished until said media has to report he has been vindicated never registers as skill to them. They think he continues to operate off-the-cuff and he gets lucky each time.

In November these posters will still think he lucked his way into the oval and that's fine because their rage will be absolutely hilarious.

My rage would be hilarious if that happened, to an outside perspective, yes.
