Cruz has the entire GOP apparatus working for him in these states, that’s why he’s grabbing so many. Wow, what a corrupt pit of snakes.

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

And now we see FReepers openly siding with the GOPe with glee, talking about all those folks who weren’t really Conservatives all along.

You can’t make this stuff up it’s so comical.

How did the voting by registered Republicans go in those states? Oh, yeah, Cruz has only been campaigning in places where voters don't vote.

Meanwhile, Trump has done a real fine job this week with having massive rallies open to all in every corner of New York State, plus some other normally forgotten-about cities.

“How did the voting by registered Republicans go in those states?”

All of the registered Republicans had a chance to vote in their neighborhood caucuses. And yes, Trump holds massive rallies. Those rallies will probably be a winning strategy in many states. In other states it is the grassroots “go to your neighborhood caucus” that is winning Cruz those delegates. Both methods have their pros and cons.

Cruz will be mathematically eliminated by this month. His dirty tricks will only cost him lower poll numbers. He can barely beat the guy from Ohio right now.

Cruz is big in the west. He’s a limited gov. Guy, but you know that. He doesn’t play well east of the Mississippi where pubes are for big gov.

Of course! Everybody knows this is all GOP manipulation and Trump is exposing it all.

No Cruz has a lot of grassroots supporters and ha courted them for the past year, Trump has run a reality TV show and shut down his operation when the primaries have ended.

IOW he was being cheap.Probably doesn’t have the liquid assets to run a national campaign.

A system that does not start with a private vote at a primary violates the whole concept of government "of the people, by the people, and for the people". Some of the talking heads this AM were saying it might've been satisfactory in earlier times, when the goal was to find the best people to make wise decisions and represent the voters. (paraphrasing)

What happened is way over the top. These delegates in many cases don't even pretend that their goal is to represent the voters.

These are all second ballot delegates. Trump plans to win on the first ballot.

The GOPe thanks Ted for his tireless efforts to install Kasich/Ryan.

Ted does great except when voters have a say.

Trump is doing very well with eastern RINO’s and will have a good 2 weeks, then it will be Cruz who does well in May. We shall see if Trump is mathematically eliminated in June.
