Your thread title claims that a SuperPac is bribing delegates to vote for Cruz, and this is based on your personal observations. So what, specifically, did you see?

Just give the actual name of o e delegate you contend was bribed, and the form of the bribe - how much money changed hands, what was the name of the person doing the bribing, etc.. If you personally witnessed it happen, then this should be easy for you.

They can buy airline tickets, hotels, limos, entertainment, and wine and dine the delegates. The sky’s the limit.

Is that not bribery?

I’m going to our state convention as a delegate. Nobody has offered to bribe me yet. Heck - I’m out my own money just to attend!

Now - it would be legal to accept donations to cover the expenses. I forget who can dole those out. I suppose there may be a few folks that would switch sides based on a large “donation”, but I imagine most folks that will be going to the National Convention have some name recognition in their communities (political types, radio personalities, business people, etc.) and don’t want to be remembered as a traitor and a crook because of a bribe.

Now - that is not to say that all the delegates that change their mind are crooks. If it comes down to a contested election, people WILL have to change their minds. Or it will be 1200, 800, 400 for all 368+ ballots. (Hmm - maybe go to one of those shared governments like Iceland or where ever.)
