Ted boasted in a tweet that “Donald, over 1.3mm people just voted in UT, ND, WI, CO & WY. You lost ALL FIVE in a row, by huge margins. #NoWhining https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/721694330805755904 …”
Wow, 1.3 Million votes in 5 contests? So, excluding Utah and Wisconsin, how many “votes” did voters in CO, WY and ND cast? What? Those were delegates selected at the state convention?
The delegates Cruz acquired in Colorado, Wyoming and North Dakota were obtained not by the results of an open primary election or caucus, but by the election of delegates by GOP party activists who favor Cruz at the party conventions of the three states in question.
Those delegates were not earned by winning the vote of the people, but by selection by party insiders and activists.
Anyone not blinded to supporting Ted Cruz with the “by any means necessary” mindset can see the difference in how those delegates were obtained and we don’t like it.
Cruz and his supporters can claim all they want that they’re “just following the rules” but they’ll soon find out that those delegates Cruz obtained at those three conventions where the people (voters) of those states didn’t get to cast their vote for the candidate of their choice will end up being the most costly delegates in election history.
They don’t call him Lyin’ Ted for no reason.
