“Good idea——contact all delegates and the RNC convention rules committee and let them know what Cruz is up to. He wants to smother your vote and your voice. “
?
Do you even know what a closed primary is?

Don’t bother. It doesn’t matter what you say. The truth doesn’t matter. Give it time and we’ll see where we are.

A year ago Cruz seemed like different person.
I don’t much like this Ted Cruz.

The last rally Cruz held that I can recall 22 people showed up.

Go home Ted, stay home

How people react under stress tends to reveal the real person. So this is the actual Ted Cruz.

+ Everything you have posted is 100% true. With the information available, all the folks here should have been on the same page many months ago.

The facts speak for themselves: The Cruz’s are internal globalists, not Patriots.

I would welcome Steve back in as leader of the GOP in TX. He did a great job. He is a unifier and a builder. Bridges many gaps.

No it wasn’t rhetorical and I don’t think 1237 will shut him up or stop him for interfering.

At 1237+ on the first ballot, DJT goes from being the presumtive nominee to the actual nominee. And Cruz suspended his campaign but did not end his campaign. At 1237+ he'll have to shut up or go 3rd party, but until then he's doing just what practically every other candidate that suspends their campaign does - wrangle more delegates to increase clout at the convention.

“It is the “conscience clause” that Ted is proposing that has me upset. “

I googled and googled and never found Ted proposing that.

He was on with John Scott and Melissa Frances(?) at the 5:00 hour. He sounded delusional, condescending and ignorant! What an asshat!

“I seriously doubt even Texans will reelect him to the Senate.”

He will have no difficulty being re-elected.

That’s why closed primaries are the best way to go. Pubbies voting for pubbies. Commies voting for commies. No cross-over. No independents. No nobody! You can vote only if you’re registered either as a Republican or as a Communist, err, Democrat.

He really has hurt it for those conservatives that just wanted him to be a gracious good loser.

Need to research this. The rules committee makes the convention rules just prior to the convention. The slight majority are Cruz delegates. There were fights for these positions that made the newswire. Maybe one delegate from NH?

If he could pull this off, Ted and OPP super Pac would for 2016. Need to research more and see if the rules go to a floor vote. I am under the impression they do not. RNC uses the House rules and not Robert’s Rules of Order.

However, I feel in great hands with Paul Manafort. There is no way they will pull this junk on him and get by with it. I’m guessing it’s setting a plan in motion for 2020.

That was really good! I have never seen or heard that before. Thanks :D

Sutherland looked like such a hippie too.
