Some Washington State GOP delegates would rather vote Hillary than Trump. One wonders what the word "conservative" means to these people.

Standing next to him, Alex Binz, a teacher from Kirkland, said he is worried enough about Trump’s “fascist” streak to actually vote for Hillary Clinton.

Oh yeah, he's a principled conservative all right. That'll learn Trump!

Guess they didn’t get word that Cruz LOST and suspended his campaign. Heck, he went to Mexico. Washington GOP needs to get on board with Trump, the winner. Anything less only helps Clinton.

The media will always find the lone clown in the crowd and present them as the majority.

Amazing that most of these delegates will believe what the MSM tells them on Trump and are too lazy to do their own research.

The Cruz supporters said they won’t unite behind a man they view as unprincipled and dangerous.

The Cruz supporters said they won’t unite behind a man they view as unprincipled and dangerous, as they united behind a man that is unprincipled and dangerous.

These Cruz supporters are DEMOCRATS, by action.

TransRepublicans, who self-identify as DEMOCRATS. You can find them in a corner in the women's room, soiling themselves over the ascendancy of Trump.

Definite pattern: When the voters are allowed to vote, it is Trump. If not, party wonks, chosen early for the purpose of denying voters a choice, still go for Cruz. Those people are insane.

Cruz would get slaughtered in WA if he was in the General.
Other than eastern WA, its a mix of older Hillary feminists, crazy Bernie snowflakes and a large amount of lefty-anarchists.

Here is one of MANY examples, where Cruz and his supporters have not accepted his defeat, have not stood down, and continue to make mischief. Principled Conservative, any kind of conservative, my foot. These people are so delusion that they’d prefer Clinton as second choice to Canadian Lyn’ Ted. Incredible.

Delegates are bound on the first ballot and Trump is going to win Washington state big time on Tuesday.

Any state that would allow a statue of Lenin in a city park has long ago gone over the edge.

In 30 years, some tattered Cruz supporter will come out of the jungle on some Pacific island and ask if the election is over and who won. ;-)

Cruz has a messiah complex. His followers believe that the mob has chosen Barabbas (Trump), but their messiah will rise again that reign over all.

The partisan in Washington are full of good elitist apparatchiks. Trump is taking their club, their plaything, away from them. Hostile takeover - and Trump will win the voters this week, by a large margin, leaving all those good clubby party loons voting for him on the first ballot. Delicious. The Republican Party of Washington long ago became elitist, slightly-lite Democrats. The most ineffective state party apparatus in the nation. Their comeuppance this week will be a beautiful thing.

The person stating that he'd rather vote for Hillary than Trump because 'at least with Hillary he knows what he's getting' is like a sot stating that he'd rather step on a live land mine - because he knows what it is - rather than take his chances and step on another area that may/may not contain something harzadous. He'd rather taken a guaranteed bad thing - be it Hillary or explosive - rather than a fair chance at having something that's not bad.

Which shows two things. First, that a number of Cruz supporters are not rational (and many of the bad things they say about Trump supporters actually apply more to them). Second, that a number of Cruz supporters are not Conservatives. They might CLAIM that they are, but someone willing to vote for Hillary, knowing the impact of any number of things (eg the Supreme Court) is not a Consevative.

A number of Cruz supporters are simply spoilt children who'd rather destroy everything if they're not given ice cream for breakfast (I would have called them Cruz cultists, but that's more vitriol than logic and I prefer logic, but let's just say that would apply as well). The fact that their man was not supported by most voters made them feel so bad that they'd rather not just let Hillary win by not voting for Trump, but some would even take the active step of actually VOTING for Hillary.

You shall judge them by their fruits, and if Cruz ever runs again that is an important thing for people to remember. Basically, if his supporters can be 'Never Trump,' then what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and 'never Cruz' is just as apt.

Since Cruz dropped out, it is more an anti-Trump than a pro-Cruz result.

Cruz people might as well have been wearing Hillary t-shirts. Same thing.
