Donald Trump won the Arizona Republican primary with 47% of the vote to second place Ted Cruz with 25%.
But that didn’t stop the Cruz campaign and GOP elites from coming in and poaching all of the delegates at today’s state convention. The Cruz camp and GOP elites call this a “good ground game.”
Even former Governor Jan Brewer, an outspoken Trump supporter, had her name removed from the online ballot and did not make the cut.

No, buying delegates is perfectly legal. In Venezuela. :-)
The article is not clear on the most important point.
These delegates are bound to Trump on the first ballot due to the results of the election, are they not?.
On the second ballot is where the Cruzers can vote for Ted/Carly.
I think what she was complaining about is that the pro Trump delegates were taken off the ballot.
So pro Cruz delegates were elected instead. Even though they are pro Cruz, they all have to vote for Trump on the first vote. I just think that Brewer wanted to go to Cleveland as a delegate.
“good ground game” my ass
He must think he’ll never have to cross any of these bridges again, because he’s burning down every one. Good long-term thinker /s
Thanks.
The article makes it seem that Trump’s assigned first ballot votes were taken by the Cruzers.
It is imperative that Trump goes to Cleveland well in excess of 1237 delegtates in hand.
And if the GOP tries anything underhanded, it is time for real Americans to show up and make things right.
You have evidence of a delegate being bought?
Is THIS what you’re talking about?
“Trump to Nevada delegates: I’ll pay your travel, hotel costs”
Does it sound better if I say bribed? :-)

He will be prosecuted. His documents for citizen ship will be unsealed. He will be discovered as ineligible for Senator or any government job at any level in the USA. He will be prosecuted. He will negotiate a deal to go back to Canada.
that is the tip of the iceberg of sorrows this man has brought upon himself.
It is a bit misleading. First ballot those delegates Trump won have to vote for Trump.
Cruz screws over Jan Brewer. CRUZ has problem with strong women.
No I’ve been talking about video of Cruz handing money to a delegate. You have been trying not to talk about it and frankly I totally understand. LOL!
Maybe Ted is in the same predicament Hillary’s in; win or be prosecuted. I would like President Trump to have his AG go after Hillary and also look into Ted’s documents to see if he defrauded the government. There’s something in his documents that he doesn’t want us to see or they would have been released.
I get it about the first ballot.
But why would there even be a Cruz and Kasich slate in a winner take all state that Trump won?
Cruz's theft won't matter because Trump will Trounce Cruz as Trump trounced Cruz in the 5 states in the historic rout last week! Go Trump!
:-0
Trump will need to come to the convention with well more than 1237 delegates. Cruz’s tactics sicken me tremendously.
But why would there even be a Cruz and Kasich slate in a winner take all state that Trump won?

That is where the hanky panky starts. I suspect that even if there is a WTA thing in a state, the delegates can still be elected for other candidates should there be a 2nd ballot etc.
Trump should land between 1265 - 1350 and if he were to do really well 1400!
