Ted Cruz rejected Donald Trump's claims that the GOP race is rigged, telling Glenn Beck on Tuesday that Trump will continue "to scream that they're stealing the election" as long as they continue to successfully wrangle delegates before a possible contested convention this summer.
"Apparently, when anyone votes against him, it's an act of theft," Cruz said on Beck's online radio show. He also told Beck the Trump campaign's "inability to even show up and win elections" makes it appear the front runner "can't run a lemonade stand."
"Donald, it ain't stealing when the voters vote against you -- it is the voters reclaiming this country and reclaiming sanity," Cruz told a San Diego crowd at a rally on Monday night.
In the last day, Cruz has hotly defended his campaign's efforts to send Cruz loyalists as delegates to this July's Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Cruz's campaign swept up each of Colorado's 34 GOP delegates last weekend at its state and congressional district conventions after a similarly strong outcome in North Dakota the week prior. And in states that have already held their primaries or caucuses - like Tennessee, Arizona and Iowa - the Cruz campaign has effectively positioned its own supporters as Trump delegates in preparation for a second or third ballot that would allow them to vote for Cruz.
Trump tweeted bafflement on Sunday about the system: "I win a state in votes and then get non-representative delegates because they are offered all sorts of goodies by Cruz campaign. Bad system!"

Cruz is slime.
It’s OK for Cruz to use every trick in the book, but not Trump.
The rankings of Cruz and Beck are akin to nails on a chalk board. Those of you who are deluded by these two are fools.
Ok. That’s enough. 400 threads on how devious cruz has been.
And he has.
Now lets put it behind us and make sure Trump has the BEST out there to get his own delegates and win.
CRYING AND WHINING is not a Conservative trait!!!
Get on the horn to Trump and see what you can do, all of us to help!!
There are plenty of delegates out there to get to 1237!!!
We KNOW what ted did. A thousand times over.
Let’s fight it and win!!!
for trump this is a losing battle. take it to the issues or die man.
Since Donald Trump is supposedly winning and leading in delegates and he is complaining that the system is rigged...
Was it rigged in his favor?
Cruz is slime.
Trump is slime.
Cruz is worse.
Yo mama wears Army Boots.
Well, your sister ....
Fixed it...
No it’s not...it’s all part of the message. He knows it’s not rigged and those are the rules. He knows Cruz’s ground game is better, but he is turning a deficiency into a strength. Watch him pound this topic all through the northeast, WV, Indiana and build the momentum for California.
“Cruz is slime.”
LOL! You are just like Trump!
(whispering in your ear, your ear only - facts are irrelevant, anything that is not pro Trump is a lie).

Use all the tricks you want but let the people vote.
The once viable Republican party.

Certainly its rigged to favor GoPe RINO Cruz candidates, after all its their party. They don’t need no stinking voters, now, or in November.
Cruz is tanking, his Desperation is palpable.
“Cruz is slime.”
LOL! You are just like Trump!
I second and third that, Cruz is SLIME.
Cruz does really well as long as the people don’t vote.
Pray America wakes
<<< Trump tweeted bafflement on Sunday. >>>
Happening a lot these days. Mr. Trump is running a weak campaign.
And which Colorado voters would that be?
Liar.
Also, he's starting to sound like Rubio's teenage class clown show at that debate with the jokes about 'can't run a lemonade stand.' That got Cruz very far, for about 2 minutes.
