The Missouri GOP held county caucuses two weeks ago to elect delegates to attend the state convention in Branson, Missouri on May 20th and 21st. Donald Trump won Missouri and was awarded 25 delegates to 15 for Ted Cruz.
The Cruz people want to make sure their supporters replace Trump delegates to the national convention. They are actively working to thwart the will of the people of Missouri.
Last week we reported on how Cruz supporters were replacing Trump delegates with Cruz delegates after the district elections.
Today St. Louis television and radio host Jamie Allman posted this update on the Missouri shenanigans.
Annette Read, a Trump supporter, discovered this latest discrepancy. One St. Louis County couple won district races in Queeny district and Missouri River district. The McMillions won a slot on the Queeny district.

Perhaps there isn’t a residency requirement? Not every jurisdiction has such things.
More trumpasms from the Gateway Trumpist.
I had to click the link to see if you left off “SHOCKING!!” or “UNREAL!!” from the title. These GP articles are hilarious with their tabloid trash style of “reporting”.
FR Cruzers---we see who you stand with---here they are.
Cruz is an immoral crook. He has no respect for voters.
This scam man can’t even get voters to vote for him. he has to cheat and scam.
First class loser and liar.
OH CRAP! McMillions in the Queeny district?
Whatever shall we do, those are key factors right there, KEY I tell you!
That’s pretty much what I thought. I kept waiting to be shocked, wasn’t, but will not be surprised when the Trumpkins rush in to be shocked and outraged!
"I send you forth to cheat! Fly, my minions!"
Following rules doesn’t make it cheating. Cruz is just following rules, whether they make sense or not.
The rules are awful. Trump has gotten 36% of the vote and has 45% of the delegates. In fact AL Gore got more votes than Dubya. Ban the electoral college. Pure democracy is what we need in the good ole USA. Screw the Republic. The hell with small States and the Constitution that awards them two Senators. Three cheers for rule by urban mobs! Hip, hip hooray!
There’s No Such Thing As “Stealing” Delegates

If Trump were in there buying delegates Cruz followers would melt down.
Trump won Missouri by .2% of the vote. And he gets a huge delegate share from that. Why isn’t Trump giving those delegates back to Cruz so the people’s voices that voted can be heard?
Ted Cruz: “I am the king of voterless states!”™
Most states don’t let the candidates simply handpick their own delegates and never have. The rules existed long before Cruz or Trump ran for President.
You don’t win any game by failing to follow the rules and then complaining after you lose that the rules were unfair.
But there’s delegate buying.

Trump only won South Carolina with 33% of the vote and got 100% of the bound delegates. Trump has a more disproportionate share of bound delegates compared to any other candidate. Any inequity in the rules as far as representing voter intent have benefited Trump above everyone else.
Yeah, registering to be delegates in two districts. I’m sure that’s within the rules.
