The Donald Trump campaign is accusing the Sen. Ted Cruz campaign of staging a coordinated “attack” in Georgia that led to pro-Trump delegate candidates being challenged and deposed in every corner of the state, which Trump had won resoundingly in the primary.
“Private backroom nominations committees producing ‘recommended’ slates, county delegations voting in blocs, floor motions made targeting our supporters,” Trump national delegate director Brian Jack claimed, in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News. “This is the machine politics we read about in school, not the grassroots activism our campaign encourages.”
Trump supporters walked out of the district convention in Buford Saturday after a Cruz-Sen. Marco Rubio alliance bumped all of the potential Trump delegates off that district’s slate. But the chaos in Buford happened everywhere at Saturday’s district conventions, with Cruz supporters isolating and targeting pro-Trump delegate candidates in order to reverse Georgia’s votes on a potential second ballot at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July.

It’s not just Lyin’ Ted anymore, it’s Delegate Stealing Ted. The perception of dirty tricks, and now backroom double dealing with the establishment at his side, makes Cruz stink really bad.
The price we pay or one candidate's most highly developed political skill being poisoning the well.
Doesn’t matter if I’m a stranger or not, just the things you post and the remarks you make shows me your no Vet of this Great Nation.
I was not able to attend our County Convention yesterday. It doesn't elect anybody to the State Convention, but it does put together some platform ideas and a chance to meet the local politicians running.
I did talk to a couple earlier today that had attended. It ended at 4 pm yesterday, and right before it ended somebody wanted to bring up a resolution to ban Cruz as he is not eligible. He had not presented earlier as he was supposed to.
He was booed down as soon as the words were out of his mouth. It was too late to do anything anyway. But I'll be waiting for some article about how this person was denied their rights.
Yeah, that’s why I’m rated as 100% totally and permanently disabled (housebound) by the V.A. I need to call them and tell them it’s all a big mistake. LOL
I heard he is a Cruz bundler. He’s using FR for FREE publicity for Cruz.
.... Heck .... Judging by his business acumen .... I am sure Mr. Trump is good at playing chess ...... so it's time for a few fancy ground game chess moves of his own.
This is not a comment to suggest a direct linkage, but, in reading the Whiner’s most recent wail, I’m reminded of a lesson from the War of Northern Aggression. Apparently Trump (the Whiner) did not learn from his fellow Northern General - William T. Sherman.
If you remember, Sherman is credited for “The March to the Sea” to bring the War to a close. The Whiner was not as effective as Sherman. Unlike the Whiner, Sherman did not stop until the War was won. The Whiner believes only in partial conquest - and then cries if there is an uprising.
From www.history.com:
“Sherman’s “total war” in Georgia was brutal and destructive, but it did just what it was supposed to do: it hurt Southern morale, made it impossible for the Confederates to fight at full capacity and likely hastened the end of the war. “This Union and its Government must be sustained, at any and every cost,” explained one of Sherman’s subordinates. “To sustain it, we must war upon and destroy the organized rebel forces,–must cut off their supplies, destroy their communications…and produce among the people of Georgia a thorough conviction of the personal misery which attends war, and the utter helplessness and inability of their ‘rulers’ to protect them…If that terror and grief and even want shall help to paralyze their husbands and fathers who are fighting us…it is mercy in the end.””

And in spite of incessant bitching, that same nightmare Girlfriend says she just cannot wait until the next date!
Don’t melt down when Cruz is the deciding vote to convict an impeached President Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors.
I'm quite serious.
You have apparently or conveniently forgotten that this war isn’t over yet.
There’s alot of marching towards victory yet to be done.
If I wanted to show you respect, I would have pinged you, did you get a ping?
Seems to me that’s both candidates’ most highly developed political skill.
When you can’t get a 30% favorability rating, the well is poisoned.
Even a loser like Obama has a favorability rating around 50% at this juncture.
The apology that is owed is from Cruz
and the CruzBOTS to the PEOPLE, whose votes
they have stolen.
STOLEN.
Cruz is a thief.
Cruz is a blackmailer.
Cruz should pull out last week.
Yeah right. A bunch of old fart Trump supporters are going to be out rioting and shooting. LOL.
So true.
I think Donald entered this campaign on a lark and for publicity.
When his initial remarks struck a chord with people sick of political correctness, he was probably surprised.
Then with a billion in free publicity, he continued to climb, as every word he spoke was reported.
So, in the early primaries with 17 candidates, he won by picking up about one-third of the votes.
When it came time to do some work in the primaries and caucuses, he had no ground game.
He hired incompetent people by keeping to his policy of never hiring anybody smarter than he is. He’s admitted this.
This makes the gene pool a little lacking.
His game is now whining and accusing Ted Cruz of cheating and also citing unnamed and nebulous forces working against him.
He’s got his people ready to abandon states rights and put Trump in charge of all the primaries.
I shudder to think how he would run a country.
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
If only Trump was more motivated to get his supporters to the convention to vote for his delegates than he is in whining everytime he’s a loser.
>> there’s going to be blood in the streets
Really? Are you saying that if Trump goes into the convention with a plurality and loses on (say) the second ballot, you’re going to load your firearm and kill... who? Random Cruz supporters? Your neighbors? Your county’s Republican leaders?
Who exactly are you threatening? Inquiring minds want to know.
