Donald Trump supporters walked out of a delegate election in Georgia Saturday to protest a vote that robbed Trump of all of his slated delegates from a district that he won in the primary.
A Cruz-Rubio alliance at the district convention in Buford, Georgia helped to knock Trump supporters out of the district’s national delegation altogether. Cruz supporters implied that Trump’s people would “embarrass” the district at the convention in Cleveland. Then things got heated.
“This morning, I attended Georgia 7th Congressional District GOP convention as a delegate and a Donald Trump supporter. We were there to elect the 3 delegates and 3 alternates to the national convention,” Ronnie Kurtz told Breitbart News. “Per the primary results, two slots were for Trump, and one was for Rubio. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% Cruz finished third in the primary and had no delegates allotted to him…Nonetheless, the hall was stacked with Cruz delegates.”

Trump and Manafort believe the nomination will be decided on the first ballot (actually on June 7th).
What Cruz is relying on is the Jeb "Win by Losing" plan of losing the primaries/caucuses but winning the nomination by having the GOPe stack the delegate deck for vote after the first ballot.
It isn't that Cruz has a good ground game. It's that the GOPee has planned this "Win by Losing" strategy from the get-go. Cruz is merely their last ditch candidate.
