Despite coming up short in state’s Republican presidential primary, Texan picks up more delegates and controls key convention roles.

The propaganda polling machine has been unleashed. The ultra elite who control the DC establishment will stop at nothing in order to keep Trump from the WH. Trump spells their demise and they will have none of that.
So if Cruz gets the 5 delegates from Rubio and 5 uncommitted, that would give him 28 delegates, which is more than half the delegates for the state. So that would be another state to satisfy Rule 40b (though I don’t think that rule will be in effect at the convention).
I was a Trump supporter early on then his true colors came out. He’s quite the nasty guy. I absolutely can’t stand the man. Today seeing Trump attack Cruz’s wife confirmed my belief that Trump is anything but presidential.....he’s just a thug, bully, etc. and that’s being kind...lol.
As long as Trump never sees the Oval Office....I really could care less.
Absolutely correct.
Yea Mr.”H1b” Cruz... give me a break
The GOPe is strong with this thread.
I never thought I’d see so many folks line up with it, but here they are.
Folks, taking this to the convention is for one purpose only, defeating real change.
What part of that do you not understand?
We’ve waited 30 years for a guy like Trump to come along, and you nitwits are lining up with Priebus, Ryan, McConnell, and the rest of the GOPe.
This is not a Conservative movement folks.
What the hell are you thinking?
No self-respecting FReeper I know will line up withe the GOPe EVER!
So you folks on this thread that are gleeful at Ted trying to prevent Trump from getting 1237, are only here for the GOPe.
You’re out now. Ted can’t get 1237. You know it. And now you’re doing the GOPe’s bidding here on Free Republic.
Ted for President...of Canada.
You do know Cruz campaign surrogates attacked trumps wife first? Or does that not matter either?
Same thing supposed to be happening in North Carolina. Winning individual districts.
agreed.
the more I learn of Cruz, the more I will sit out Nov, if Republican nominee gets picked by swindly tactics (and hearts!)
I cannot believe the ungodliness in Cruz and some of those supporting and working for him.
I think Cruz ended up with 5 more delegates than DT.
Good try but NOPE. It wasn’t Cruz that did this, it was a small PAC that hates Trump that did this, but of course you know this already.
You’re right about the next President being either Trump or Clinton, but I think a good number of conservatives will still show up at the polls, hold their noses and vote for Cruz if that becomes necessary, despite not forgetting about how dirty he and his establishment puppetmasters have been playing.
The GOPe may blow a kiss or two Trump’s way in Cleveland after screwing him out of the nomination, praying that he gets on board and brings his millions of supporters with him, but even if he doesn’t there will still be lots of folks suddenly contemplating 4 (or 8, if she survives) years of “President Hillary”, and will dutifully trudge to the polls to vote for Teddy Goldman as the lesser of two evils.
The outcome won’t be affected one bit, but some will feel the need to try.
>> The rules are the rules, and they’re perfectly reasonable ones <<
Rules? You gotta be kidding. Rules aren’t supposed to apply to Mr. Trump. Get over it. Move along. Nothing to see here.
“the ungodliness of Cruz”
And yet you support Trump who can’t be confused with a Christian.
We are the cult of save ANERUCA from the democrats and the GOPe. I personally think with the backing of Jeb Bush, the GOPe is now backing Cruz.
Won’t matter when Trump breaks 1,237.
It’s rather incredible how effectively Republicans play hardball politics within the party, given how milquetoast they are when it comes to facing Democrats. It’s almost like it is planned that way.
