Real Men win at the ballot box.

“Though many of the delegates chosen Saturday are supporters of Cruz, they still have to vote for Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention on the first ballot. Under Republican party rules, the delegates are free to vote for anyone after the first ballot. “

Under republican rules those same delegates can make new rules prior to the convention:

Such as changing the 1237 delegates to win, to say, 1500 delegates.

“those are the rules.”

I was at that convention as a delegate. Trump supporters put together a Unity Slate (2 Trump one Cruz) to try to pull over some votes. There was also competition for the Alternates. There were several rounds of voting, and a winner was not declared until a slate got more than 50%. This means that the endorsed slate would not have the advantage of going against a splintered opposition.

Statewide, Georgia went something like 36-25-23 Trump-Rubio-Cruz. In the third district, Trump ranged from the mid-30s to the upper 40s with Cruz ranging from the mid-20s to the mid-30s in the individual counties. At the time of that election, there were about ten candidates still and Rubio pulled strong in the state. Moreover, Democrats and Independents were allowed to vote in the election as Georgia does not have party registration. Trump's margin of 10% over Rubio and Cruz does in that environment does not translate in support among people within the Republican party at the grassroots level. I'm an IT guy, the couple in front of me are a medical doctor and his wife, there was a realtor, a high ranking military retiree (Trump supporter, for the record), a couple of retirees, an 18 year old high school student, etc. These are not wine and cheese hobnobbers.

The Trump people were present, and made their present felt. A significant number didn't bother to show up at the open to all voters Mass Meeting to register to be a delegate at the District or State convention so had to remain behind the rope with the media in the gallery. And all this was to select three delegates and three alternates. More will be at stake at the state convention.

The delegates at the convention also vote on the Party Platform and Party Rules and that sort of thing. Taking that into consideration, the people chosen were well qualified to represent the 3rd District at the convention.

The convention process begins with “precinct mass meetings” in each county. Delegates are then elected to the county convention. From there, delegates are elected to the district convention.

Ted only wins when there’s no vote.

Probably 80 percent of the district convention delegates were Cruz supporters, Jackson said. “As far as I know there was not one single Trump supporter out there [as a delegate to the district convention] that left feeling like that their voice wasn’t heard or that any rules were not followed. They just didn’t have as many votes,” Jackson said.

It begs the question - who are the cruz delegates really loyal to? Nothing like the smell of the GOPe/RNC to fouls things up.

[your mommy told me to tell you]

I was there....this is the real truth

The story you will hear from the cruz crew is... Oh poor Trump he was out- maneuvered and now trump is crying, he doesn’t understand the rules, has no ground game, cruz has the ground game, what a cry baby, if Trump can’t win delegates how can he run the country bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.....they don’t want you to know the truth!

Trump won the state and our district....the VOTERS did you hear me the VOTERS gave Trump 2 delegates and cruz 1...fast forward to last Saturday....150-200 cruz delegates out of around 240 total delegates showed up and the cruz/gop/state rep. decided the voters (you and me) did not not know what the hell they were doing and decided that cruz “the chosen one” should get all the delegates.

The truth is cruz supporters/delegates believe they have the right to willfully disregard the will of the people by scheming, lying, cheating, and eventually stealing the delegates that are assigned to Trump by WE THE PEOPLE....and listen up people .......cruz has been doing this all over the country. This has been their game plan from day one....since they cant win the vote cruz has to come in the back door and steal from the voters...they are not stealing from Trump but are stealing from the voters (you and me)
