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.
Of course we should be just like the Democrats in all things /s
Can you imagine the hell we would all be going through on these pages if Jim, in his wisdom, hadn’t kicked a bunch of the crazy die hard Cruzers off the forum?
This news clipping would have started a bitter, pointless, flame war.
Thank you Jim, I actually enjoy FR again.
Screw you Cruz, you rotten bastard, your goal is to stop Trump even at the point of putting Hillary in the White House. At this point, I don’t even want your lying carcassonne SCOTUS.
Felito delenda est.
1. Heidi helped write the documents for the North American Union.
2. Heidi and Ted are in full support of the “Globalist” idea of the North American Union and EU.
3. They are for TPP and although voice about securing our borders, are NOT for securing our borders.
4. Ted Cruz is NOT an “outsider” but the ultimate “Insider”.
Donald Trump is going to mess up the “Play Pretty” of BOTH the Establishment Republicans AND Democrats. Just look at the Republican Candidates who are honoring the pledge to support the Republican Nominee. Is Cruz among them? Is Rubio among them? Is Bush among them? Is Walker among them? Is Carly among them? Is Paul among them? NO
Isn't is nice to know who the “Globalists” are? Those who care more about enriching themselves instead of putting America first?
I hope what he is saying that he wants closed (Republicans only) primaries.
In some states, there is no formal party registration.
However, others do allow Democrats to cross over. I am OK with doing away with that.
The Cruzer is outing himself as a sore loser.
I hate this. I have gone from thinking Cruz was the Number 1 pick to thinking he is mentally unbalanced.
Go home and gather your thoughts, Cruz.
Does he really believe that’s why he didn’t win?
I have grown to hate Ted Cruz.
I hope he never wins another election in his entire life.
“There would be no reason to hold a primary election if the delegates were not bound to the voters decision and the election results.”
I agree. What in the hell is Ted talking about? He needs a long vacation to clear his head.
I started a Cruz guy but have gone all in for Trump. That said, open primaries have served up terrible candidates like Mitt Romney and John McCaine. They allow the democrats to decide the opposition candidate and I’m against them.
Cruz is committing political suicide. I seriously doubt even Texans will reelect him to the Senate.
I don’t have a problem with open primaries, especially considering that party membership has been dwindling over the years (true for both R and D).
I know people like to spin conspiracy theories about Dems crossing over to sabotage the vote, but I imagine the effect of this is statistically insignificant.
“HE WANTS TO ELIMINATE PRIMARY ELECTIONS?? SUBMIT TO CLOSED PRIMARIES SO WE HAVE 100% SUPER DELEGATES- UNBOUND?? “
Obviously you are responding to click-bait and have NO idea what a closed primary is.
FYI, a closed primary is one in which only those registered to the party are allowed to vote as opposed to an open primary where people can cross party lines to vote ...
Sure acting like a poor loser.
The last rally Cruz held that I can recall 22 people showed up.
Go home Ted, stay home
