Cruz and his Amanda and his Heidi are proven thieves
in caucus after caucus (Dr. Carson, please pick up
the red phone.).

Whoring Cruz will steal what he could not win.

Scum.

If someone withe millions of less votes steals the nomination I ain’t voting for them. Thais the end of the matter for me.

So rather than hope for a stupid steal instead pray there is a ticket with Trump and Cruz VP or the Democrats win in 2016. The end!

A political party is a private organization, it doesn’t belong to “the People”, they act solely in the interests of the Party Elite.

It depends on what Delegates are offered. If you offer a Delegate a job for switching his vote, than yes, you can Steal a Delegate.

whatever they wish to call it,
if our primary votes are ignored... we won’t vote for their “surprise” GOP-e nominee

LOL...so says this blog.

From this blog 'article'....

The way it works is that the candidate is not nominated by a vote of the people. The people elect the delegates. The delegates nominate the candidate.

Truthfully....the apparatus has more control of who the delegates are, than we the voters do. Thus giving the party the final say.

Curly Haugland confirmed this, recently.....

(CNBC/Valley News Live) - Curly Haugland, an unbound GOP delegate from North Dakota, is grabbing national attention for comments he made on 6:30 Point of View Tuesday, and then again on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday.

Political parties, not voters, choose their presidential nominees, a Republican convention rules member told CNBC, a day after GOP front-runner Donald Trump rolled up more big primary victories.

Fortunately Cruz is on the record stating publicly that Trump has to be defeated at the ballot box (as opposed to in Cleveland). According to Cruz, the voters wouldn’t accept the outcome, otherwise.

And of course, he was right.

When people talk about stealing delegates they are displaying their ignorance about how the system works.

When people talk about "unbound" delegates, and "second ballot convention votes", and "third ballot convention votes", they are displaying their ignorance about how actual voters end up at the polls in the general election.

Or they're displaying their desire to keep the Uniparty, and its approved candidate, in power.

FIFY. :)

LOL. It is highly recommended here at Good Old FR that you actually read the article before posting. It is far and away the best way to avoid making a fool of yourself.

It has been said that democracy will not work if there is no virtue in the people. If the practice referred to as "delegate stealing" is considered acceptable, then "there is no virtue in the people." And any religion that considers this morally acceptable is not the religion of a free people.

There was a funny episode of The Three Stooges, where the Stooges are sent to the convention to vote for the nefarious “Hammond Egger,” but switch their votes to Abel Lamb Stewer, taking Stewer over the top.

A better way would be for said fool to simply shut up.

I assume you refer to Senator Cruz.

The reason that only Cruz is "stealing" delegates is because Trump didn't know that he had to work the system to get delegates elected who are loyal to him. But he finally figured it out, formed a team to deal with the issue and so he will now start "stealing" delegates from Cruz. Better late than never.

ah but these skeezes are saying the delegates at least from some states only have to vote the way the people directed on the first ballot.

Others are “unbound” and can choose to go with the voters; choice- or not

So if the first ballot doesn’t secure Trump’s nomination, even if it’s 1236, then about 12-15 million Trump votes (after all is said and done) could become useless if the snake lawyer coopts his delegates

or if two losers combine and claim a “majority”

Wonder what he is promising them?
Maybe someone will be brave enough to come out and post their experience
