Cruz bots versus Strumpets. This primary season has been fun so far.

Cruz seems to do very well in winning elections where no one is allowed to vote.....

Not sure that is the image your team wants to project

They need to fix this. The candidates should get to pick their own delegates. And the delegates should be allocated based on the primary votes.

The idea that the GOPe gets to pick a lot of the delegates even if they are assigned to a candidate for the first vote, leaves me feeling like we are in a totalitarian system.

No other parties are big enough to have primaries though.

Eliminated ... mathematically ...

Deal with it ... or you could do the math yourself and wake up from your slumber.

So Cruz is stealing unelected delegates? Like Hillary? And you’re proud of him? That says quite a bit about both you and your candidate.

The rules for the caucuses and primaries were set last year and available to all candidates. Cruz is smarter and better organized than the egoist, Trump, and is using the system to his advantage as any intelligent candidate would do. Epic fail for Trump.

Persuading is stealing? I’m sorry my candidate is smarter and a harder worker than yours.

.. How many delegates did he win at that rally? ..

Not a 100% scientifically accurate response but based on forecasts, polling extrapolations and my amazing record with razor sharp predictions I'd say 'lots and lots.'

You’re going to be a lot sorrier when Cruz flames out.
