The Cruz camp can’t win enough votes at the ballot box so they’re stealing them at the state level. Such good Christian conservatives.
Cruz supporters are asking bloggers to stalk the delegates in Colorado.
"Dear Influential Conservative Blogger,
I found a list of names and phone numbers for Colorado delegates, of which a huge number are unbound. I did reverse phone searches and came up with a list of mailing addresses for a lot of these unbound delegates. I wrote letters to them saying that Cruz has been most consistent about re-negotiating the Iran deal, and that they should vote for him.
Perhaps you and your followers can do the same. Attached is a list of unbound delegates for Colorado, and their mailing addresses. I also noted their phone numbers in case you think that’s better. (Personally I don’t. Some of them might be on do not call lists.)
Regards, Alex S."
THIS example you have here, Amntn, is exactly what FReeper Trump supporters, perhaps, failed to do.
It is said that 90% of any sale starts by SHOWING UP.
Did we show up?
These examples of correspondence we are seeing on this thread are doubtless from delegates to other delegates, and which delivers simple sales 101. Finding your customer, discovering what the customer wants and needs, and selling them your product, or in this case, your candidate.
Democracy begins at the grassroots level, by attending our precinct meeting (neighborhood), then attending our County convention and once there, then volunteering to be a delegate to our respective State’s Convention, and on to the National.
These people showed up. Trump people are going to be doing the very same thing. Manafort will kick it all in gear, wherever it is not already under way.
I think "slimy" is someone that makes up accusations about other people, calls them names, and mischaracterizes every act into something evil. You know, like Trump.
Yes, my post was sarcasm.
Trump dropped the ball and his supporters are placing the blame on Cruz instead of where it belongs.
What part of unbound delegate don’t you understand? CO has a system in place that doesn’t bind the delegates to vote for any candidate (despite the popular vote). They can vote for Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan if they choose for that matter.
Imagine the horror or Ted Cruz trying to delve into the various rules of each state, and gasp, try to get delegates. Gosh, you might think he was running for office or something. As for the will of the people, that is what this whole process has been about. The will of the people have spoken quite nicely already. Everybody but 3 guys have dropped out.
The rules are the rules. Like them or don’t like them. I for one will not view Cruz badly one bit for trying to get unbound delegates to vote for him. If he can out hustle Trump and make a better case whey he should be the party nomination, more power to Cruz.

I’m not really sure how that’s relevant to me since my local “Trump” delegate is the GOP county chair himself.
YOU are very fortunate,90! Cool.
To hear the geese out there, a fool might be led to think TRUMP has no delegates, anywhere, whatsoever! LOL!
Of course the *number* of TRUMP delegates still matters, but we have more than CCC does, and we are gaming to get even more and several back who were thought to be claimed by Coreless Cartel Cruz.
Fail.
Delegates are private citizens participating in a democratic political process, not public officials. What part of creepy, ambulance-chasing invasion of privacy do YOU not understand?
"I found a list of names and phone numbers for Colorado delegates.... I did reverse phone searches and came up with a list of mailing addresses... I also noted their phone numbers..."
Thank you for the Missouri info - I’m pre-registered and will be at my District caucus tomorrow, intending to “seek to identify” Trump supporters. (Made myself a Trump button to wear, so they’ll be able to find me!)
My district is one of the three (out of eight) that went for Cruz, so I consider this doubly important. Wish my district luck; we’ll need it - I know a few of the high-up “good conservatives” around here and they lost my respect years ago.
bkmk
Speak for yourself.
Sincerely,
A Christian Trump supporter
“Donald of Orange”...
That’s funny!!!
You really are on a delusional trip.
If, after looking at the consistent survey data on RCP, you are still unable to understand how your candidate is in a major hole vs. the dems, you’re beyond hope.
Instead of humping that approved word of the day (”delusional”), go study that head-to-head data.. and YOU tell me how the orange-headed barker wins in November. I also challenge you to tell me how Trump somehow matches up better vs both dems than Cruz does.
Nice cherry-picking. He also went on to say “unbound delegates.”
Facts are your friends... really.
Wow. Lady, I can’t resist your post or your tag. This fascinated me. I loved it.
“Let’s review” indicates you meant to play a teacher. Since most of us have surely been around since 2008/09, I’ll bet we remember Cruz reading the Dr. Suess book to absolutely no effect but self-aggrandizement. Otherwise, to what fight are you referring? Or did you just mean to insult the other poster because you’re so superior?
“Caviar, Georgetown cocktail circuit,” etc. - my, my. Forgive me, but most conservatives (small “c”, honey) aren’t in that class; we’re just plain old unsuperior patriots. I know I should be impressed; that was your point. Guess I’m just too old and normal to bite. Sorry.
Perrier, really? My, my. French, isn’t it? You may be shocked to hear it’s in WalMart, too.
If I was empathetic or altruistic (or younger) I’d advise you to ditch the screen name and start over with a less “I am Queen” tag. But nope, I’m none of those things.
Then call them all and encourage them to hold steady for D. Trump, to make America great Again!
I see you cannot provide how Cruz wins. Hopelessly delusional you are.
Ah, your favorite D word again. I referred you in specific data that proves Cruz would do far better than Trump in November... but you’re simply too beset with cognitive dissonance to accept the truth. Sad for you.
Okay, I will. I guess you’re totally OK with Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals?
