“How do delegates typically get to a convention? This whole delegate thing is going whacko fast..”

It sure is. By the way how are the Cruz delegates getting to the convention? Are they paying their own way? Are the party big wigs paying for them?

Keep in mind that delegate bribery is highly illegal in Ohio. Giving a delegate anything could result in prosecution.

I have known several national delegates over the years from several states. Not only are they relatively well off financially, they pick up the tab for local party expenses and pick up some of the expenses for young delegates and guests. They are people who donate money in modest amounts, not receive it. Since most national conventions are just television shows, there aren’t a lot of people lined up to put out $5,000 - $10,000 for a thankless hobby.

No worries PB, the cruz dels are bought and paid for - GOPe has deep pockets as does the open borders/cheap labor express morons.

And why oh why do I still get a handful of emails from Jeff Roe begging for MORE money?
