On our side of the mountains, we had Legislative District Caucuses. Trump supporters were there and when they went up for their 3 minute speech for the vote, hid their Trump support knowing very well the Cruz block would not give them them the majority vote they needed to be elected a delegate on the first vote. That strategy did not work because, all the 22 delegates who occupied the first 22 spots on the delegate ballot were Cruz supporters! They had submitted the names to the King County GOP at the same time, insuring they would get listed on the ballot in the first slots. All the Cruz people had to do in making their vote was fill out the bubble sheet of the first 22 spots on the ballot. That made it real easy. All the 22 Cruz delegates were elected on the first ballot. I had concealed my preference and was elected as an alternative delegate. I could have been elected as a permanent delegate if they hadn’t stacked the deck and had the math on their side. By the way, this is how the Romney delegates stacked the deck in the last Legislative Caucus. I was for Gingrich and did announce my preference for him. I got slammed out in that one.
Thank you for knowing how they play the game and playing it for DJT.
