Florida GOP establishment rocked by Cruz supporter Manny Roman

Manny Roman, the Miami-Dade Republican Party Vice Chair, told author and speaker Trevor Loudon Tuesday that after he publicly endorsed Ted Cruz, "everything just blew up down here."

Roman spoke with Loudon on this week's episode of LoudonClear. Roman defied the GOP establishment by endorsing Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz in a letter to the Editor published in the Miami Herald.

As reported previously at TrevorLoudon.com, Roman's act of defiance led party chief Nelson Diaz, who has worked with Marco Rubio (and even donated to Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Shultz) to call for Roman’s resignation, saying the endorsement "violated a Republican Party of Florida rule that prohibits GOP officers from endorsing one Republican over another."

Manny told Trevor, 'everything just blew up down here.' Manny explained that party officials questioned his decision and the GOP establishment in Florida received calls from "many important peop...giving them hell."

Roman explained to Loudon that the motion was not effective; However he was censured for endorsing Ted Cruz.

Watch Roman discuss his decision with Fox's Neil Cavuto here:...

I live in florida and all my neighbors are voting Trump. They like his directness and gets things done work ethic. I am sure Florida will be won by Trump easily.

Although I will vote for Trump in my primary, I would proudly vote for Ted in our general election should it be that. Each person, entity, organization has the right to endorse anyone they choose without condemnation and recrimination from the vested interests of appeasing power.

We are at war with normalcy when it pertains to ‘establishment’ browbeating, frankly.

this nonsense about nutjob manny roman was posted ad nausem at FR a month ago. you’re 31 days late a few anti-Trump billionaires short.

Manny Roman is a fickin nutjob and a loose cannon.

Manny Roman worked for Obama, then he worked for Rand Paul, and now he’s working for Cruz. Looks like Manny is for sale to the highest bidder, which in this case appears to be local multi-billionaire Norman Braman, who no doubt can not support Trump, because Trump is not for sale. With friends like Manny, who needs enemies?

We’ll see. Ted has already moved into second place in Florida. And once his ground game gets going there, I think he will give the Donald a run for his money.
