Here is Trump's 'concession speech', as released by his campaign:
Donald J. Trump withstood the onslaught of the establishment yet again. Lyin’ Ted Cruz had the Governor of Wisconsin, many conservative talk radio show hosts, and the entire party apparatus behind him. Not only was he propelled by the anti-Trump Super PAC’s spending countless millions of dollars on false advertising against Mr. Trump, but he was coordinating `with his own Super PAC’s (which is illegal) who totally control him. Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet— he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump. We have total confidence that Mr. Trump will go on to win in New York, where he holds a substantial lead in all the polls, and beyond. Mr. Trump is the only candidate who can secure the delegates needed to win the Republican nomination and ultimately defeat Hillary Clinton, or whomever is the Democratic nominee, in order to Make America Great Again.
I, for one, have never heard a more vindictive, ungracious, juvenile statement after losing a primary -- name calling, falsely accusing Cruz of an election felony and of being in cahoots with the very party establishment that he (Cruz) has stood up to ... sometimes entirely alone ... all of his political life.
The man, and his campaign operatives, place no value on truth and don't know the meaning of graciousness or civility. I can't help but wonder when the promised 'presidential' behavior is going to begin. If/when it ever does, it surely will not last for any length of time. It will be difficult to maintain the charade for very long, with dignified behavior apparently being so foreign to the candidate's crass and boorish nature. |
