LANSING, Mich. (AP/WOOD)
(Excerpt) Read more at woodtv.com ...
So much for sleazy Cruz’s bid to steal delegates to which he isn’t entitled.
Yes Michigan does completely rock.
I guess Mich is what Manafort meant when he said Cruz was about to hit a (cough) rough patch.
“We made sure that we were very fair. Transparent. And we tried to coordinate in the caucus level,”
The cannot be said for the Colorado GOP, Louisiana GOP, and North Dakota GOP and a few others.
“We made sure that we were very fair. Transparent. And we tried to coordinate in the caucus level,”.....
Are we certain the Michigan GOP people are really “republican”?
Delegates actually doing what the voters voted for, what a novel idea to those who think they are entitled and steal
Please stop defaming Louisiana !
Ah so no behind the doors, secret voting going on there , maybe it is why the delegates are being honest and doing what the voters wanted, and maybe why cruz could not “influence” them in some way.
What are you talking about?
My biggest problem with this whole delegate grab is in many cases it isn’t open and transparent, and that is what is angering Trump supporters. It has nothing to do with their rules and such. Check out Psalms 94:20 for how I think about this whole matter.
Another rubbish article about Louisiana.
“There has been turmoil in other states, however, Politico just did an article this week on how good the process has been here in Michigan.”
In other states like Louisiana — some because of state party convention rules — Trump, who won the state’s primary, is estimated to walk away with fewer delegates than Cruz after the convention there.”
The correct answer is that Trump won 18 delegates in Louisiana, Cruz won 18 delegates, Rubio won 5 delegatrs, and 5 delegates are unallocated.
These results are proportional to the election results in Louisiana.
So please stop with the defamation.
I am not defaming Louisiana, I am point out the suspicious activity of the Louisiana GOP party.
... So much for sleazy Cruz’s bid to steal delegates to which he isn’t entitled.
You miss the point. The delegates vote as required in the first round. It is on the second round (sometimes third) that they are free to vote as they want.
If it were the only way around you would be bragging about how Smart Trump was. Trump had no idea of such things and if he were to win 1237 it would be a moot point.
If you want to talk sleaze you should look up Donald’s business practices.
I really have no idea what you are getting at.
There was no ‘suspicious activity’ in Louisiana State Convention.
The delegate award was proportional to our popular vote!
18/18/5/5.
Furthermore, the 12 At-Large delegates for Trump that were selected at the State Convention were precisely the 12 At-Large members that the Chariman* of the Trump delegation submitted to the State convention.
So how can you say Trump WON the election, but the second place finisher wlks away with the SAME number of delegates? The election was not a TIE VOTE, so WHY are the delegate counts tie votes? WE are NOT STUPID! Common Core Math is being used to screw the results of the ELECTION!
Bravo Michigan!
And as to the Trump camps second claim, that there was a ‘secret meeting’ to which ‘they were not invited’ at the end of the Louisiana State Convention where the national delegates elected their leaders, this claim is also utter rubbish.
Complete rubbish.
The delegate meeting is very clearly specified in the Louisiana rule. First, these rules were put into place in the previous year. These rules were clearly posted. The rule in question was not changed from previous conventions - leader selection for the delegation was also done at the end of the Convention four years ago?
Why?
Because typically people who are trying to become national delegates, those that are serious, are at the State Convention. So the best time for the national delegates to meet in any large State is right after they have all been selected at the State convention.
If the Trump delegates were nit at the meeting, that was their choice.
And clearly both Chairmen of the a Trump delegation were at the meeting.
The incompetence and chaos if the Louisiana Trump delegation is their own fault.
The rule:
“RULE NO. 6. Election of Delegation Officers and Committee Representatives. Immediately following the adjournment of the State Convention, all delegates to the National Convention shall meet and elect officers, including, but not limited to: Chairman, Honorary Co-Chairmen (to include all Republican statewide elected officials and all Republican Congressmen), Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and committee representatives. If a Republican is serving as governor, the Governor shall be designated as Honorary Chairman. Alternates may vote only in the absence of delegates.”
So please, stop with the defamation.
Stop lying: Trump 41,4 Cruz: 37.8, Rubio: 11.2, Kasich: 6.4.
If it was proportional then how come Cruz got the same amount. Stop your crap.
Worked for Cruz in Colorado.
It’s a steep uphill battle against corruption like in Colorado where the official @cologop actually tweets out; “We did it! #nevertrump”;
Colorado GOP elites are #nevertrump
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3419332/posts
#nevertrump is more than a simple political statment - it’s a mission statement. And it was executed by the Colorado GOP as a mission statement. That is not we-the people.
