Ted Cruz in the Trenches: May Pick up Delegates in Louisiana as Donald Trump Caught Napping
Breitbart ^ | March 25, 2016 | Alex Swoyer

Posted on 03/26/2016 12:35:41 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

...“Donald Trump beat Sen. Ted Cruz earlier this month in Louisiana’s Republican presidential primary by 3.6 percentage points, but the Texan may wind up with as many as 10 more delegates from the state than the businessman,” WSJ reported.

In Louisiana, Cruz and Trump each won 18 delegates. However, Cruz may now be able to gain 10 more delegates because there are five unbound delegates who can vote for whichever candidate they want. Additionally, five delegates are now up for grabs after Sen. Marco Rubio left the race.

Louisiana also released the names for delegates on the Rules Committee, Credentials Committee and the Party Platform at the Republican National Convention, where Cruz supporters took five out of the six spots. The sixth hasn’t committed to any particular candidate...

....Cruz volunteers and supporters are also using the delegate game to their advantage, in Missouri, as Breitbart News recently reported.

The WSJ notes Cruz is working a similar plan in Georgia, and earlier this week Politico reported Cruz is also using the delegates to his advantage in South Dakota.

True enough, but after reading both articles you’ll see what happens when you know what you’re doing, and it’s all good for Ted Cruz.

I’m not thrilled with this headline: ‘Trump caught napping’.

So a businessman doesn’t know the rules and bylaws of state legislation and party minucia as well as a lawyer.

In the meantime ...

Mitt’s errand boy is a quick learner. His GOPe masters taught him well.

This is the “blocking and tackling” part of the campaign. It shows the value of proper preparation and executing on the details.
