If so that is fraud, pure and simple.

And typical GOPe. How in the world you defend this crap is beyond me. If a Dem did this you’d scream bloody murder-—rightly so.

Listen, I’m still not saying you’re a liar yet (I'm getting closer though)

PROVE IT!

Well, unlike nerds like you I don’t spend my entire day on the Internet, nor am I so impatient that somebody better answer me or else I’ll have a temper tantrum “meltdown”. You little millennials need to get over yourselves. You’re nobody’s hero so don’t expect we’ll answer your silly “challenges”.

You’re wrong on every point. (Loser)

You make a claim. You don’t support it. You’re either deceived or a liar.
Probably both.

Here’s something to watch : will you ever post the claim again without proof?

Send to me on freepmail by you, the stalker:

“Lol.
Well, unlike nerds like you I don’t spend my entire day on the Internet,

At least 4 sessions on FR TODAY!
I bet I’m older than you.
I know more than you.
I back up what I say.

You shoot from the hip - and miss.”

Seems your temper tantrums are very much like a millennial.

“Stalker” Ha!
Ain’t nobody got time for that!
I just proved my suspicions.

And yes, you need to be held to account for what you write. Even on the inter web thingy.

Ground game has very little to do with it in this case...A ground game works when Cruz and Kasich or Bush are the top contenders...The GOPe that's in Washington goes all the way to the ground... The local GOP groups are just as GOPe as those in Washington...That's the way they are set up...A non GOPe doesn't get to the position of delegate...

Right on the first, but you're wrong on the delegate position. Part of the ground game is to get your delegates lined up and get your people to the local caucus and elect the chairperson who is on your side. You need to get people who understand parliamentary procedure/Robert's Rules, etc. That CAN be done minus GOPe and HAS been done and I can tell you that firsthand. It is negligence NOT to do so.

For example, Trump was endorsed by Phyliss Schlaffly. All he had to do was get the lists of previous delegates and supporters of similar causus or candidates from her and get the organization on the ground in ready. This was done in 1996 with Pat Buchanan. My state had an excellent ground game and showed up at caucuses outnumbering the GOPe by a margin of 6 to 1. Chairmen were elected to set the rules and procedures and the Dole people were furious to the point that at one caucus they tried to fight over the microphone, literally, because they didn't like the results. Police even had to be called. And let me tell you, I WAS THERE. So don't tell me a ground game doesn't work. It DID. And those delegates went all the way to the convention LOYAL.

So if Trump, or his campaign managers didn't get that organization done it's their own damn fault and someone should be fired! Like yesterday! Also, when you have people who have volunteered and you don't even call them back or follow up, THAT is pure neglect and stupidity. And I know THIS firsthand.

Our/Trump's only chance at the delegate level is if there are enough delegates who care more about the Country than they do the Party...

I agree, and just outlined how to do it!

You do realize that Cruz will have the vast majority of delegates from Pennsylvania even if Trump wins the primary vote by a huge margin, right? Most of the delegates are elected unpledged by district and its Cruz who has actually recruited candidates or win over the ones who are elected in their own recognizance.

No. That's when you make sure your delegate slate is loyal ahead of time and you avoid that problem. This calls for a good ground game and organizing. And that can be done if you put the time and effort into it - see my post to ISCOOL. Is Trump doing it? Who knows...
