More than 90 delegates were up for grabs Saturday. And Ted Cruz grabbed most of them. Again.

I note you don’t deny.
I think it was about 65,000.
I believe the Florida delegates are bound for at least 4 ballots.
The voters of FL aren’t disenfranchised
Hillary operatives love the little stupid "chose" meme. Except these are a million people who also chose to register as Republicans, so why wouldn't they choose to vote in the primary?
Answer - because they misled by Hillary liars perverting the system to make it indecipherable and internally controlled, exactly the way Hillary liars love to do. And then those same little maniacs turned their secret whispered delegates over to Cruz so Hillary could beat him.
Scumbags.
Hey, they could have voted. No one stopped them. They chose not to. I have a friend who is a Trump supporter in Colorado. I still encouraged her to go caucus on March 1. She wouldn’t skip her weekly poker game to take the time. I’m not even kidding.
That's ridiculous...You don't know what you are talking about...Just repeating what others have said, like a parrot...
It had nothing to do with a ground game...It had to do with GOPe people running the operation and counting the votes...
This is how it played out:::
Cruz, who did not earn any delegates here, had his people in almost every slot. Statewide, Trump started the day with three times as many district delegates as Cruz. By day's end, he had lost almost half of the Georgia district slots to Cruz backers, according to Republican operatives in Georgia.
Those weren't Cruz people...Those were any GOPe besides Trump people...Trump had 3 times as many delegates as Cruz...More than likely a lot of them were double agent delegates...
Bob Shaw, the octogenarian chairman of the district's nominating committee, acknowledged this year's selection process was notably difficult — 61 candidates running for the three delegate slots, and three alternates, in the conservative 11th Congressional District.
His panel spent days screening them all in individual 15-minute interviews. The committee didn't ask which presidential candidates they preferred among Trump, Cruz or Gov. John Kasich, but instead sought to award spots for those most dedicated to the party. "The workers," Shaw said.
For delegate slot No. 1, the committee recommended a Trump supporter, longtime GOP activist Lori Pesta; but the panel's other two nods went to backers of Cruz and Rubio, with the alternates filled by people whose loyalties similarly did not lie with Trump.
Three fourths of the delegates were Trump delegates...What does that mean??? Absolutely nothing...The GOPe that sits at the head table interview these delegates and chose which one will be eligible for nomination to be state delegates...
Even then, Pesta was challenged from the floor by a slew of candidates, including one big-name Cruz backer: former area congressman Bob Barr — who was also the 2008 Libertarian candidate for president.
Pesta didn't even survive the runoff. Barr clinched it.
One big question is: with over three fourths of the delegate as Trump supporters, how did it happen that all those Trump supporters voted in Cruz delegates???
“...he plays well out west.”
I seem to recall Ted losing Arizona in a resounding defeat to Trump. Nevada too, if memory serves.
There goes your pet theory, sailing off in the distance.
And not a single one of them voted for a Presidential candidate...I'm sure you know that...They voted in the rigged game of voting for delegates...Party hacks...
That's the disgusting thing...The media and corrupt party leaders keep calling robot hacks at the local level the 'grass roots'...They are not the grass roots...The Trump supporters are the real grass roots...
Because that rule was rigged by the GOPe to go to Bush to beat Trump...Trump and the grass roots beat them at their own corrupt game...
Keep it up and we shall have a Hillary.
D@mn Straight we like our crooks to be the smartest on the block.
A couple Billion dollars change hands during the election season probably the biggest reason.
Bttt
Ping
Now that sounds very presidential.
Well cruz beat the rnc in Colorado at their own game. There.
The delegates are not “party hacks” the vast majority are regular Republican grassroots voters.
From my perspective, Cruz and the RNC were on the same team in CO. “#NeverTrump” was their motto, IIRC.
Wanna bet???
The contests, open only to registered Republican voters — and in some cases, only to party insiders
It's pretty clear that it's a lot more than SOME insiders...
If Trump doesn't get it there needs to be a rebellion...
