It’s happening in Arizona as well. Our convention is April 30th. If they manage to get Cruz delegates who will abandon the biggest vote getter on the second ballot, I will leave the Party, as will millions. I hope they realize what they are doing. I voted for Cruz, not enthusiastically. My County, went Trump by a near landslide. If chosen to be a delegate I have already told them that I will stick with the winner of my County, and that is Trump. That is the way it should be. By the way, the citizens paid for that election. If they pick Cruz delegates to come from my District, I will make a scene and work to make sure that the political party pays for their elections. They can’t have it both ways.

Unless they vote to unbind themselves, then they vote for Cruz on the first ballot. There’s a reason Presidential candidates pay attention to delegate selection.

Yes, it is the GOPe.

Isn’t it great watching folks thrilled to line up with the GOPe.

Roger Stone needs to get the names, employers, cell phone numbers of all of these invalid, corrupt delegates. He needs to get photos of their spouses and where their children go to school.

Then he should provide them to the appropriate supporters of Mr. Trump. They’ll know how to persuade them to do the right thing.

We’ve seen it time and time again, Trump wins the popular vote, yet Cruz takes most of the delegates. I’ve got another idea, how about we let Cruz have the popular vote for awhile, then let Trump take most of the delegates?

Apparently, that’s how these things are “won”.

“These delegates in many cases don’t even pretend that their goal is to represent the voters.”

Could be. I’m guessing they won’t be voted on as delegates ever again.

The propaganda says its Teddy Bears great ground game. He would be an even bigger lozer if he supports stealing delegates to thwart the will of the people. Of course he does. Just like he’s for Tpp, amnesty, open borders, building up china at America’s expense and so forth and so on. He is a globalist, socialist plant.

That’s a pretty ignorant thing to say. Cruz had had people working on the ground in these states for MONTHS. The establishment had nothing to do with that. Just admit Donald doesn’t REALLY hire the BEST people.

All Cruz is proving is how tied at the hip he is to the GOPe.

Unfortunately for Ted, all this thievery of his would only benefit him on the 2nd ballot or later.

But there won't be a second ballot. Doinald Trump is the presumptive nominee. Live it. Learn it. Love it.

And the American People now see Ted Cruz as totally part and parcel of the entrenched, corrupt GOPe machine that seeks to thwart the will of the voters wherever and whenever possible.

Ted Cruz is being crushed everywhere people actually vote, and is trailing a distant third to even John Kasich in most Northeastern states.

Let's see how Ted Cruz looks Tuesday night, and the Tuesday night after that.

Jim Robinson was right: Ted Cruz is a traitor to the grass roots and the anti-Establishment movement, is tanking in polls all over the country, and has nothing left but to play his petty game of stealing delegates, with the full cooperation of the GOPe machine.

His smarmy fanboys in their little bubble might think that's pretty slick, but out in the real world, Ted Cruz=GOPe, and it's becoming more and more apparent that the only way Ted Cruz could even stick around in this campaign was to jump in bed with the corrupt GOP Establishment.

Ted Cruz has lost. He will have been mathematically eliminated after the next Tuesday or two. Ted Cruz's only hope is to get the nomination at a contested GOP convention, which would irreparably splinter the party, and guarantee a GOP defeat in November.

Simply put, that's not going to happen.

"Trump to Wyoming Republican delegates: You are a waste of my time."

Trump to Wyoming: Can't remember the last time you voted Dem, so - s*ck it. See ya' in November - no, just kidding! Maybe I'll send my Veep MailmanJr for a quick in-and-out nursing home visit in Laramie - turns out he polls high with old women and that's all we need to cut off Cankles at the knees...

If Loze had such a strong ground game he would actually have won primaries, where people were free to vote. He didnt and will not the rest of the way. Go Trump. Loze is not lawfully able to be president. He is a globalist plant for Goldman an others. Never vote Loze.
