    Lets see one rails against the 1% and how they've rigged the economy to their benefit while bribing politicians. The other is a billionaire who brags how he's used bankruptcy laws to help him maintain his wealth and also how he's given money to politicians of all stripes.

    It's okay to be afraid, but never have I called another poster a Coward.


    This is what you breathe bro. Good Riddance. Don't make TipJar bets to support ClutchFans if you're going to fly out when it's convenient.


    Cowardly.

    He's just doing exactly what his idol trump would do.

    When he loses the nominee I imagine he will be threatening to sue everyone.

    There are some recent signs/indicators that Trump has rebounded and may have actually picked up a few % points in the polls.

    It will be interesting to see what the media narrative will be if Trump sweeps the North East and actually slightly exceeds the expectations of "experts".... would that momentum carry over into Indiana and help Trump reach around 1200 delegates to get the nomination (there are independent delegates that he can "buy" to reach the magic number.

    Some experts are making the mistake of assuming Indiana will go to Cruz based on Wisconsin going for Cruz. This is a mistake, the two states are very different.

    Indiana and Wiscinson are probably the two luckiest states in recent history.

    One went from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck. The other went from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers.

    No wonder we all assume they are similar. Deep down, we are all probably jealous of both.

    I don't think his whole "5 year old whiny b**** douchebag" routine will go over as well anywhere outside of the northeast. I mean, sure they love that BS there, but everywhere else it's off putting. He'll get a bit of a bump from winning states like New York assuming he gets over 50% but he's at real risk in California and if he loses there, it's over for him.

    As of right now, Trump is still leading in California, but Cruz is gaining on him day by day and is over 31% at this point.

    I'm also curious to see how badly the JoePa gaffe hurts Trump in Pennsylvania.

    There's nothing unfair going on no matter how much that little b**** Trump whines about how he's going to lose. If he was running a competent campaign and had hired competent people (or "the best people" as he always says he'll do) and wasn't such a complete douchebag that 70% of the US hates him, then he'd be doing fine.

    Everything that has happened to Trump has been self-inflicted and is in no way unfair. You just want to welch on a bet.

    When Colorado GOP headquarters tweets out "NeverTrump", what do you think that means? Come on use your heads.

    It means that they, like over 70% of the nation, are opposed to Trump. Is there anything wrong with that? Of course not, it just means they are halfway intelligent people.

    Of course, I'm sure you weren't whining like a b**** when earlier in the election cycle there were people at polling stations and vote counters wearing Trump hats.....

    Is this evidence that Trump "stole" Nevada?

    Trump isn't getting the nomination taken away from him. If anything, he's benefited from the rules that are in place:

    http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trumps-right-that-the-gop-primary-is-unfair-it-favors-him/

    As usual though, his minions are buying into his BS that the system is rigged against him. He agreed to this process and has known about it for quite some time but he knows that his followers aren't intelligent enough to question him on it.

    It means they aren't for Trump and they don't have to be for Trump. Man up and use your balls and quit backing out of bets.

    To a certain extent I can understand the Sanders camp complaining about the system is rigged and unfair, they're behind, the clock is running so it shouldn't be surprising that they are feeling angry and desperate.

    With Trump though he's in the lead and still has the best chance of winning it outright. Yet he's complaining like Rockets fans in 2005 after Finley stepped out of bounds.
