I say I know all 13 Colorado Delegates and nobody is paying them anything.
The Cruz slates are there out of conviction.
There is no evidence that any delegate has been “flipped” due to “payoff” by anybody.
So,Cruz is telling fibs when he says he's getting the delegates because he has a better organization and knows the system better which indicates that "Trump couldn't run a lemonade stand".
Not only Colorado that the heavy duty game to "get the delegates to state their convictions" has been playing out.
If it's all "convictions" then Cruz wouldn't need to be telling us how he's outmaneuvering Trump at every step - he could sit on his laurels and watch all the support (where has his support base gone - polls show him flagging) come rolling in.
The GOPe sees stopping Trump as it's only chance to keep from being really messed with and Cruz is its cat's-paw colluder.
