HE WANTS TO ELIMINATE PRIMARY ELECTIONS?? SUBMIT TO CLOSED PRIMARIES SO WE HAVE 100% SUPER DELEGATES- UNBOUND??

There would be no reason to hold a primary election if the delegates were not bound to the voters decision and the election results.

He never stops. TED & CURLY (RNC Rules from ND) must be conspiring in this insanity together.

Ted will never be elected by a popular vote. So he seeks RULES CHANGES so that his chosen delegates will select him.

We need to contact all delegates and the RNC convention rules committee and let them know that, 'We the people' demand a voice and will not stand for this garbage. He wants to smother your vote and your voice. This was rumored, but this is the first time that I've seen his plan in print.

This means doing away with open primaries and the "conscience clause," which will release conservative delegates from supporting the presumptive delegate, should that delegate represent views that contradict theirs or the party.

Cruz is an arrogant ass who wants to dismiss the will of the voters. This guy should so go back to his native Canada.

I supported him, then had second thoughts, then was very disappointed with his conniving and now believe it’s time for the shyster to get out of politics.

Time for Trump to demand the Republican Party cut Cruz off, he refuse to recognize he has lost, refuses to honor his pledge, and is clearly delusional. What will it take for him to just Go Away?!

All of his delegates should be unseated.

i have this feeling that this asshat has one more stupid trick up his sleeve

[Helicondelta]

Rafael just released a video where he admits defeat.

It’s called no regrets and he cries in the end.

Rafael is an emotional wreck.

He needs some time off.

That arrogant littr POS is going to be lucky if he gets in the door of the convention. He’s dreaming if he thinks he’s going to get to speak at the convention or have any type of influence. Trump will make sure he’s shut out of the rulemaking and the event agenda.

If I understand the concept of the closed primary, I agree with him. In Minnesota we have a caucus state. These are theoretically closed i.e. you have to be a Republican, have voted Republican of plan to do so in the next election.

If you want to violate that you have to lie. I would like it tighter than that, say the way NY dos it.

Who wants non Republicans picking Republican candidates? The Pary gets enough of that with the MSM helping to pick our candidates.

[Don Corleone]

He ought to get his ashes hauled. He’s getting a little testy and stupid.

Consider the possibility that this is a fake story.

Ted isn't going to get nominated this year, and isn't trying any more.

He has plans for the election in four or eight years and he's not ready to endorse Trump this time, but the fight for this year's nomination is over.

So Long, Ted

Heard AIRICK AIRICKSON spewing this sh*t on FBN. If you can’t win using the “rules” Cruz,.....’member Coloradi, you Richard Head?

[Southnsoul]

Won’t this man ever go away. Ugh!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Somebody please tell him Cubanadians are not eligible to be President.

[NonValueAdded]

For gawd sakes, RejecTED, sit down!

The key discussion points, which will also be the likely flash points during the convention, will include CLOSED PRIMARIES.

************

He’ll have to change the culture in Texas to accomplish the closed primary bit. In Texas
you register vote with the State and on election day you go your polling location, they
check your voter registration and if okay then asked which ballot you want, Democrat or
Republican. You are bound to that party for any runoffs and in two years you get a new
voter registration card and the process starts over.

If he keeps screwing with the people in Texas they may tell him to get his Canadian
butt on back to Canada.

[Donglalinger]

I want to cancel caucuses

[Sacajaweau]

I'd say he has a loose screw at this point.

And he took a week off from the Senate??

He's had a whole year off.

I remember after 2008 and 2012 when FReepers (rightfully) hated open primaries...
