The Cruzers are all high-fiving and doing their end-zone dance after successfully flipping delegates...

Many of them (probably not most, but some) are going to be very concerned when the DEMOCRATS use this same tactic with the ELECTORAL COLLEGE some day. All the excuses Cruzers use to justify that delegates pledged to a candidate, and voted for in the voting booth by people counting on that delegate to vote for said candidate he pledged to vote for---all of these arguments apply to the ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Just add the tortured logic and the spin the Cruzers use for stealing delegates and that's what someone will use someday on us in the ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Probably sooner rather than later.

This is just s a dry run for "voterless GENERAL elections." What better test subject than foreigner and Globalist Ted Cruz. If he can pull this off, the Electoral College is next to receive this "ground game" treatment.

If Cruzers think this is the perfect con now with flipping delegates, think how they'll feel when someone uses the SAME ARGUMENTS---"great ground game"---to flip ELECTORS.

And PS: CONGRESS has to confirm the Electoral College results. It's entirely up to them; they are not required to agree with the Electoral College. Congress could challenge them EXACTLY THE SAME as Cruzer is doing with Republican delegates. Cruzers are opening the door to banana republic elections in which the NEXT Obama who comes along will be president for life. You heard it here first.

That's already been done/attempted, but I think with very little success.

Like where the viable candidates are selected by the ruling elite, in the first place?

If the federal government was faithful to the constitution, the public wouldn't much care - and shouldn't much care. The fact that we are so invested in the outcome is evidence that everything is now a federal case.

Also playing into this, I am amazed at how much of the presidential campaigns is run on legislative issues. Stunning.

Excellent points.

Stealing the nomination from Trump will probably be the end of people trying to vote their way to a solution and a small minority will decide violence is the solution. I'm beginning to think that this how the republic dies and Cruz supporters are cheering it on. However, keep in mind most of this talk from Cruz supporters is designed to demoralize Trump supporters and it's unlikely the GOP has the guts to grow through with it.
