Do they know how many of the 1,251 delegates are Trump always supporters? As I read it, the 1251 delegates are broken down into nine congressional districts, where three delegates are chosen from each district.
heads will role at the Cruz HQ when they catch whoever it was who leaker this information
Calling Hildy. Come in, Hildy.
Are you saying •anyone• can attend? What are the requirements, since you posted this on a major, countrywide forum?

I’m from AZ., and I will go to keep an eye on the process. I had received an e-mail from the Trump camp, seeking delegates for the State Convention, after first helping Team Trump, at their AZ. State HQ’s., in a GOTV phone campaign.
I am leaving the state for the summer and fall, so the commitment to be a delegate was a deal killer for me. I’m new to AZ. politics, but not new to politics elsewhere, so my rationale was to let the local stalwarts go for it, as they have been slugging it out in the trenches long before I got here.
Anybody else from AZ. going to the State Convention?

And THIS is the petition site.

These are some of the allegations.
AZGOP Graham has shown over and over he’s above the law and has no moral or ethical compass. He violates State Statutes, the State Bylaws, Robert’s Rules of Order, snubs County party Chairmen and disenfranchises precinct committeemen. He has extorted fees from state delegates to the state Republican Convention. He demands $1000 donation to AZGOP or he will deny seating delegates to the National Republican Convention because he is incapable of raising money for the party, thereby denying some of the hardest workers in the AZ Republican party the ability to be delegates. These are the people who stuff envelopes, knock on doors, make phone calls and recruit new precinct committeemen to grow the party.
Personally- I did not sign the petition because the allegations are unsubstantiated. Whoever put the petition together didn’t do their homework IMHO, and the thing is worth diddly squat. I’m a Trump voter and supporter, so I’m going to the Convention to see what’s up, sporting my Trump T-shirt.
Jeff DeWitt, Gov Brewer, Sheriff Arpaio are not establishment despite their dominance of Arizona politics?
But Some nobody Querad is the establishment?
Just trying to understand AZ.
Its like NY. Guiliani and Peter King and establishment types supporting Trump are not establishment. But nobodies supporting Cruz (or Kasich) were establishment.
And Cruz campaign boss got Gerry Ford the back room deal to beat Reagan. So he is now establishment?
I am a State Delegate in AZ and am running for national as a Trump Delegate. Mr. Trump won in my County by over 67% margin, a near landslide in my opinion. I am an elected official. I will represent the will of the people at the National Convention because that is the way it should be. Your vote at the National Convention is public record. I will not betray my constituents. That all being said, I think AZ will end up with a mostly Cruz slate that will betray the public’s wishes on the second ballot. I will let you all know on Saturday, after the State Convention.
Tar and feather them!!
