He does this, just think what he’d do to the American people....

Double Nought Spies?

Double agent delegates organizing against Trump?

Gak!

[gg188]

Under regulations established in the 1980s, delegates cannot take money from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors or foreign nationals. But an individual donor is permitted to give a delegate unlimited sums to support his or her efforts to get selected to go to the convention, including money to defray the costs of travel and lodging.

From the Washington Post, 4/11/16.

Cruz has no honor. His belief that the presidency is his by divine right is scary.

[Fhios]

The GOPe and Cruz are really suffering a backlash over the machinations to derail Trump.

The voters are going to be very bitter and we will lose the
Presidential election ... I guess that’s the plan. I wonder if they plan on losing the Senate and cutting the lead in the house.

If the folks aren’t going out to vote for the President, they aren’t going to vote for the Senate or Congressman.

[Talisker]

major wins in Utah, Wisconsin and Colorado have not closed the gap,

That's because they weren't major wins.

Sigh. Cruz is wrapped in a liberal fantasy narrative as thick as anything Hillary has.

Courtesy MSM.

Hey, does the GOP have a crack tiger teams of super frauds? Able Danger.

By the time this is over, banana republics will be laughing at us.

[G Larry]

LOL!

I suppose you believe Trump’s campaign isn’t trying to flip Cruz delegates?

This isn’t cookies in kindergarten.

There was a time when people could hand out checks on the floor of the Texas legislature. I think some chicken magnate was doing it. I’m not sure it’s illegal now but they stopped doing it because it didn’t look good.

Here’s a novel idea.

1. You develop a platform
2. You announce that you have entered the race
3. You address people in public and spread your plans
4. You submit to elections where people get the choose between your plans and the plans of others
5. You let the chips fall where they will
6. You don’t bother trying to get delegates who were fairly won, to switch to you rather than the person who won them.

Ted proves each day that he is not an honorable man.

So true.

Exactly. Cruz demonstrates over and over again, he doesn't care about the will of the people. And that's a very dangerous person to put in the Presidency.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Exactly ..meanwhile if Cruz does happen to get a stolen nomination, the rest of us will eye staying at home ...oh well

[mouse1]

Freebies, promises or schmoozing to get a delegate to flip is disgusting. I feel that way now and I would feel the same way if they were given a ride on Trump Force 1 and a relaxing stay at Mar-A-Lago. It may be legal but it certainly isn’t ethical. It stinks to high heaven

[JBW1949]

If the people WANTED Cruz, he’d be leading...

[JohnBrowdie]

trump people are going to give themselves ulcers worrying about all of the boogeyman hiding behind every bush.

Now they just do it out of sight. Maybe Paypal.

[JBW1949]

They aren’t hiding...They’ve come out in full view.....
