One more “will of the people be damned” supporter. Nice.
I guess any way Ted gets in is good with you.
Zero integrity.
“But Cruz’s campaign is using its organization muscle...”
What are they lying about now?
Poor Trump....if it doesn’t go my way I will bi—h and cry.
What a scumbag...!
Oily Felito is, incredibly, even more loathsome than Bishop Willard.
I did not think such a thing was possible.
He’s not strong——just a whiner. He would be laughed out of court. The parties organize the rules so he should complain to them. Or the master dealmaker should’ve became familiar with them beforehand.
When would trump have time to ever be president?
It would cut into his Twitter wars and threats of lawsuits.
And I thought Obama was thin skinned
Trump sounds more and more like a spoiled brat with money.
The rules that govern how delegates are divided in primary states are not straight forward. I think it surprises many people ( both democrats and republicans) that winning the popular vote in the primary does not mean you win all or even a majority of that state’s delegates. The rules are confusing but those appear to be the rules. If people are upset with the rules then they should petition to change them. One benefit of a lawsuit on Trump’s behalf might be that the laws regarding the distribution of delegates will be brought into the light for all to see. If Trump was in Cruz’s position don’t you think he’d be doing whatever he could legally to get as many delegates as possible?
I agree. But I have to be careful around here what I say about Trump or I get viciously attacked in many instances.
Is Cruz even going to make it to the convention? His Bimbo Eruption problem might take him down and if found to be true, it should.
Ted Cruz is help feeding the Democrats telling blacks Republicans don't want your votes counted.
These are the delegate rules. You’re starting to sound like Al Gore.
The Republican race is such a lopsided win for Trump that it’s ludicrous to suggest otherwise. In Texas, Cruz won only 44% of his home state/s vote.....not even enough to get all the delegates. Trump won a chunk of Texas delegates.
Team Cruz ferreted out victories in a few caucus states known for oddball and malleable vote counting methods. For example, Cruz won in places that are not conducive to jump-starting his losing campaign, places none cares about:
Virgin Islands by 30 votes
Wyoming by 480 votes
Alaska by 600 votes
Maine by 2,500.
Here are the rounded total votes Cruz won in his 8 states.
Virgin Isl 200 people
Wyoming 620 people
Alaska 8,400
Maine 8,500
Kansas 35,000
Iowa 52,000
Utah 122,000
Okie 158,000
SUMMING UP Cruz bet a bundle on the south, then lost badly. It is doubtful Cruz can bring his (cough) “current winning streak” to the east. Ted won 8 states totaling a measly 385,000 votes.
By contrast, Trump won some 15 states w/ an astounding 1,350,000 votes, so far.
Bully tatics in the same vein as their Glorious Tweeter.
This makes the Republican party look like....well.....the Republican Party. The people’s vote really doesn’t matter. Remember the 2014 Mississippi Senate Race?
I’m really entertained by the medias’ take on this. A 3%+ win at the polls is now called “a tie”, and “rules are rules”.
“Is Cruz even going to make it to the convention? His Bimbo Eruption problem might take him down and if found to be true, it should.”
Strike “and if found to be true.”
For those with New York City values, a lie serves as well as the truth. In many cases, better.
“Zero integrity.”
Blood sport. Deal with it. They are crucifying Cruz and he is taking it in stride. I really do not care whether the nominee is Cruz or Trump. All I know is whoever our candidate is, goes into the general with some serious issues.
Why is it that people bother voting again, and why is it that Congress has an 11% approval rating, and why is it people think our political process is controlled by a handful of elites?
