That would be interesting. I thought he would have to promise something to Kasich to get those delegates. Would be cool to get them by default.

Everything you just said.... except with Rubio’s 171 delegates.

Rubio said yesterday that his delegates should go to a Conservative, and that Cruz is the only Conservative left in the race. (Remember, they teamed up to attack Trump that one debate.)

“Hmmm OK ahhh could you point out where I said anyone who beats Trump is a thief?”

Huh?

Are you sure you are on the right thread?

Guys, this is politics 101.

ANY candidate with 1100 committed delegates MIGHT pickup another 200 or 300 before the first ballot.

I hope the postcards continue....

To Ryan...
To Priebus...
And to people’s state senators and representatives.

I saw one postcard that said something like:

“No Trump? No Vote! If you steal Trump’s delegates, I will vote Democrat in the General, and in all down-ballot elections. Including you!”

“What you will hear is the tools of democracy being cleaned and oiled and the click-clack of thousands of home reloading stations at work.”

Trump is exposing the corruption.

It’s time for heads on sticks.

Not that it's a good source, but a guest on Fox just made this same point.

Kasich said, just 2 nights ago, that he won’t be VP. When asked why not, he said something like, “Because I’m a President. I’m not VP material.”

“Running off part of your base over the presidential nominee has bigger ramifications than just the presidential election.”

Do you think they learned anything from forcing McAmnesty and Romney on us?

Speaking of Fantasy. Thinking GOPe State Party NeverTrump delegates are really supporting Cruz is right up there with the best of them.

Not possible. The rules specify 1237. Not 1100.

The GOP has to be aware that if Trump is just short of the delegate amount, that the party will be destroyed if he doesn't get the nomination. Normal people, not sociopathic Cruzbots, would revolt in mass.

“This isn’t trying out for your local President of the Rotary Club folks.....there’s a reason why Cruz stated to Trump.... ‘The presidency should not be La Cosa Nostra’....people just aren’t paying attention where they should.....”

Your spin didn’t work. Cruz is losing it and becoming more like Beck every day.

Same here. The people who have been loyal Republicans for their whole life have suddenly discovered that the party of Reagan is actually the party of Ford and Reagan was an anomaly that the Party has learned to prevent every happening again.

Now that we know that both parties see us only as labor sources instead of human beings, we look to that final box in that Soap Box, Ballot Box, Jury Box, Ammo Box continuum.

Current source headline:
“RNC member predicts: Trump can win with 1,100 delegates”
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/rnc-member-donald-trump-can-win-with-1100-delegates/article/2588378

1st FR article headline:
“RNC member: Trump can win with 1,100 delegates”
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3420452/posts

My Headline: “RNC BOMBSHELL: CAN WIN IT ALL WITH 1,100”
I copied my headline from
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com
as it appeared at the time I copied and pasted it.
That’s when I also copied and pasted the author and date.

Evidently, they have changed that headline twice.

BTW, I searched FR for article by the headline, but found nothing because headline has changed several times.

“The point is Cruz was the beneficiary of a corrupt GOPe system that was set up to give the state to an insider like Jeb. And rather than condemn the GOPe shenanigans he has praised them. That is Cruz’s fatal error and why he is crashing in the polls as I type this.”

Good summation, Lodi. Cruz might think he won in CO, but his dirty politics were watched by all the other states. He seemed neither conservative nor Christian.

Yep, the party didn't want Reagan and they don't want Trump.
