This is dumb. If you watched Trump’s speeches in PA he’s telling people to remember to vote for the Trump delegates on the ballots.

That is the Cruz playbook??

I don’t care for the immature lying Ted Cruz comment and I don’t care for the name calling like the Trump Dumpster but he would save us all a lot of trouble if he did reach that number, now quite talking about it and do it.

First they attacked Trump for “not knowing the rules” and being “outsmarted by Cruz”.

Now they criticize Trump for hiring people who know the rules and using the same tactics Cruz does.

It seems they have no goal other than to attack Trump no matter what he does.

So?

The system is crooked. But sometimes you have to play tough but fair within a system in order to make a profit.

It’s basic level game theory.

Doesn’t change the fact that the system is rigged.

It’s called the winning playbook. Loser Cruzers would be wise to accept the reality that Trump is the presumptive nom. Otherwise, it could be rough for Cruz in 2018. More Texans will vote Trump in November than have ever voted for Cruz. Just some friendly advice there.

The Cruz playbook is state over and over “I’ve won five elections in a row” including ND where there was no election!. It’s a flat out LIE. THAT is the Cruz playbook. And Trump is executing an end run around all that. Trump is an amazing strategic thinker, and Cruz is not. That is why Cruz is cratering, doesn’t understand the law of cause and effect.

Unlike Cruz, Trump is playing the delegate game to win on the 1st ballot.

This point is missed, most likely intentionally.

[DoodleDawg]

Kind of late to the game, isn’t he?

Lyin' Ted hires on a new delegate hunter.

[usafa92]

This is a BS article. Trump and team are clearly identifying those delegates in PA that have said they are voting for him. Article makes it seem that Trump is poaching delegates. He’s doing no such thing.

Are you the designated Cruz poster today? 2DV laying low?

[Snowybear]

The difference is first ballot versus second ballot. First is smart. Second is desperation.

[DoughtyOne]

But in Pennsylvania, here 54 unbound delegates are elected directly by district and free to vote as they wish, Trump is employing the same hunting playbook Cruz has used for weeks. Hate the player, not the game?

Cruz was not limiting his seeking to unbound delegates, so it isn't the same at all.

[mabelkitty]

Wrong.
Trump is doing this in states he actually WON.
Cruz was pulling this stunt in states that did not hold elections and states he did NOT win.

[Harpotoo]

Any good businessman learns from their failures!

Go Trump Go!

[LibFreeUSA]

The "rigged" part is having TRUMP supporters running for delegate seats being illegally SHUT OUT in CO!... That's the "RIGGED" part!

... of course, they don't want to tell you that.

[Uncle Miltie]

This is impossible because ......

... never mind.

[OneVike]

So Trump is trying steal delegates from Cruz now?

Trump is now part of the establishment?

Trump is a sleazebag now?

Trump has no scruples?
