Cruz will not drop out after he is eliminated on April 26th.
The Gateway Pundit ^ | April 2, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Based on current delegate counts and poll numbers Ted Cruz will be mathematically unable to reach the delegate count required for him to win the Republican Presidential nomination. By the end April it will be clear that Ted Cruz has no chance of reaching the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination.

So there’s honesty. Let St. Ted EVER again cite the Constitution, or the will of the people. No one will take him seriously.

In Donnie talk I am going to take that as a NO you can NOT post one fact, law or Regulation that the Cruz Camp is breaking in the Delegate appropriation in LA.

Thank you for exhibiting just what a FR Die hard Trumpkin resorts to.

1. Post Smears, lies
2. When Called on it refuse to admit the original post a smear job and full of distortions and lies.
3 Attack anyone who dare challenge your bald faced lies with more smears

Now on you your rant, Donnie got beat fair and square in LA, the RULES have not changed since before he added his name to the ballot in LA. If he didn't read them or spend money to have someone read them for him the pox is on HIM. Mr. Business man that is GREAT AT EVERYTHING? Didn't even inquire as to the rules in that state? WOW There is some dedication for you.

So you continue to show all us your fine level of integrity an honesty by posting known lies and smears because you are mad that lil Donnie didn't get the delegates he THINKS he deserves. Much like him EXPECTING to be handed the nomination if he doesn't have the required count.

One other lie of yours, I have NEVER on this site or any other EVER posted anything about Ted Cruz and Christian Values. However I have to tell you I am impressed that you throw out ANOTHER Smear, while Lil Donnie Claims to read the bible more than ANYONE. Perhaps he and you have never got to the part about bearing false witness?

We are not electing an entertainer in chief. Showmanship is fun, but it is not the kind of leadership that will change America. If we are going to turn our frustration and anger with the D.C. insiders, the politicians of yesterday and the carnival barkers of today into something that actually changes American lives, we must elect someone who has been tested. Someone with proven experience.

Well he's just a Obama Hugging, East coast RINO Establishment hack who has a big mouth that is a Loser......

Oh Wait...

Stealing the nomination from Trump using the "rules" will be a disaster for the GOP

If Trump doesn't have 1237 delegates at the convention, how is that "stealing"? Did Reagan try and steal the nomination from Ford in '76 when Ford had more delegates but hadn't gotten to the number necessary to win outright?

How close does it have to be before it's considered theft? Those goalposts can move a lot when you think that someone has earned something before they have.

Here is St. Ted talk: “People elect delegates, but we get to steal ‘em. To hell with the will of the people or the Constitution, it’s all about power.”

That sum it up?

“What politician in their right mind would drop out of a race that he is running 2nd in before the runoff election?”

There’s no ‘run-off’ election in presidential primaries. You’re talking about the insider shenanigans that go on at party conventions.

That process is fraught with coercion, extortion, blackmail, arm twisting, threats, intimidation, vote buying, kickbacks, empty promises, backstabbing, and straight up lying. It’s about as democratic a process as what goes on at a slaughterhouse.

The only ones who win in that process, are the globalist elites and their puppet stooges.

It is my understanding that rule 40 is only in place for the first round of voting. After that, there are several ways a candidate can be entered to the floor.

Who knew that all this time the democrats were right when accusing the gop of disenfranchising voters? It’s their own voters but still....

Please scroll up to post 237 where Rule 40(e) is quoted.

“Trump will NEVER make the REQUIRED 1237. Cruz will WIN on the second ballot at the Convention.”

You’ve all but admitted that Ted Cruz is incapable of winning enough votes from the people to overcome Trump’s vote total by the end of the primary.

In the same breath, you telegraph your hope that Ted will be chosen as the nominee by a select group of faceless political insiders, thus nullifying the clear will of the greater number of primary voters.

That bears no resemblance to a government of, by, and for The People. To support such a process, is fundamentally un-American.

Rule: First candidate to achieve 1237 Delegates.

Cruz will, Trump can’t.

All Delegates are elected by the “will of the people”.

Let me sum up your approach:

“Votes? What votes? Who needs votes? We have organization that can steal votes after they’ve been cast.”

That pretty well sums it up.

Basically since the GOP has been betraying the voters for especially the last 8 years and in our face the last 6 I don’t think the GOP survives as is if the person who won the most votes by millions surcomes tobdelegate stealing and GOPe maneuvering.

I usually hate it when Freepers cut and paste their posts into multiple threads, but I’m forced to make an exception in the case of your post #161 on this thread.

It’s a remarkably well rounded analysis of what’s occurring in this election, and the probable outcome of the party insiders overruling the people’s choice of nominee.

Please consider re-posting that in other threads, or even as a vanity. It deserves maximum exposure.

#253 “Votes? What votes? Who needs votes? We have organization that can steal votes after they’ve been cast.” That pretty well sums it up.

You have been asked several times now on this thread to post any evidence of delegates being stolen in LA. You can't and haven't. How ever you have whined about Cruz getting delegates the rules say he is allotted. Perhaps you Belong with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid that like to change the runs for their benefit too.

AGAIN, after many years of electing this backstabbing crowd, if these creeps deny the person leading others by many more millions of voters for a GOPe choice for themselves, then burn it down.
It’s over because this is happening after a recent track record of total disrespect of the voter along with a good dose of no spine.

Democrats at least stab you and let you see it coming. The RNC keeps putting the knives in our backs and expecting nothing to come of it.

Got news for you, the GOP can either stay together with Trump or they can expect voters to eviscerate the GOP from this point forward and of course Hillary wins due to Cruz, Kasich and the GOPe.

“Rule: First candidate to achieve 1237 Delegates. Cruz will, Trump can’t.”

Reality: If the greater number of the people choose Trump, but fewer than 3,000 party insiders choose Cruz or anyone else as nominee, the clear will of the people will have effectively been overruled.

Should this happen, the Republican nominee will go on to lose to the Democrat in the general election, as the process will be judged by close to 40% of Republican voters as illegitimate, and fundamentally un-American.

We won’t have a country any longer, but at least you’ll still have your precious party rules to cling to.

Men are looking for their success, prestige, influence, by which they enrich their self. God knows. Let us pray for God to come to the aid of America, and keep America true to our History, do good, be good, build a strong economy and allow all to prosper according to their will and opportunities, and blessings showered upon America by God.

Is anything too difficult for God?

NO! PRAY!

The United States has been becoming pagan for some time and I think we lost that umbrella of God’s protection long ago.
