Cruz supporters have been working and networking with a ground game in mind since last year. Nothing illegal or shady. If trump ran a business the way he has been running this campaign, he’d be a pauper by now. Too bad trump thinks he souls take it all with the way he has turned off almost 70 percent of those who call themselves Republicans

They are ignoring the vote of the people while resorting to schemes to steal delegates.

How is this "stealing delegates"?

scheme. LOL. I hope our generals and FBI scheme, too, along with the border patrol. If our nation is being taken apart by marxists there better be someone in the executive branch who can defend the constitution.

Actually, anytime someone describes what’s going on as a scheme, that someone is trying to convince others that something nefarious is going on....big difference.

“Trump has a 50 state operation. “

None in Colorado. Just starting in California.

Trump even snubbed Colorado while Cruz was in person on the ground.

Trump's annual revenue last year was 9.5 billion with total employee numbers above 20 thousand people.

And that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not he should be president. If that is the criteria we should use, we should look to Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, heck even Mark Zuckerberg - they are all much more wealthy and employ a lot more people.

Take it up with President Cruz in February, when he is done saving America.

It's considered "stealing" because Trump et-al is not "stealing" them.

“I seems to me that they are overlooking how Cruz would mop the floor with Hillary or Bernie during the subsequent national debates.”

This is the naivete that is the result of people that listen to WAY TOO MUCH talk radio, and actually bark this garbage out like it means something.

Do you NOT remember that the MSM isnt Glenn Beck, Levin, or RedState?

>Trump is crying but he gets 22% more delegates than the proportional vote; more than any other candidate. Without that bias, his lead would be much narrower.

Trump gets his votes from winning while Lyin’ Cheatin’ Ted gets most of his from smoke-filled back rooms where the voters have no say.

If this primary was run like electoral college Trump would have hit a majority a month ago.

So you’re saying Trump is doing a better job organizing delegates than Cruz? That’s pretty delusional.

As a member of the Republican Party and an elected Republican official and an elected County official, I know how the game is played. In my State, Arizona, the citizens pay for the Presidential Preference Election. As long as they are paying, they WILL have their voices heard. If the Party wants to control the whole process, be honest and PAY for it. I have never been so angry with this Party as I am right now. I don’t care if they did it to Trump or to Cruz or to Kasich. We will reap what we sow here. Mark my words.

Translation:

I have no answer.....here is some bat*hit insane fantasy in its place while I go running into the night.

Such poor showings will set him up to lose again on May 3, 10 and 17th.

Not a chance. Expect Cruz to win in Indiana, Nebraska and probably Oregon. He should also take Montana and South Dakota easily, and possibly New Mexico, and hold his own in Washington and West Virginia. As a matter of fact, I don't expect Trump to get another clear win after April until New Jersey.

Cruz/s southern strategy was monumentally flawed. He flopped bigtime. His entire strategy was to sweep the south and propel himself to front-runner status. He bet his wad on the south...and came up empty-handed.

Donald won it all.

That's when the mentally unbalanced Cruz heard voices telling him he won......so he went before the cameras and made a "victory" speech.

People are still shaking their heads over that Cruz craziness.
