If Cruz is given the nomination, Hillary wins big time....

And that tells you all you need to know about who these super PACS actually serve.

Every million wasted is a million they can’t funnel to Hillary.

Pray America wakes

“Blind allegiance to a failing candidate . . . “

Beautifully put, and may I say one more thing to these who are blindly allegiant. If Donald Trump had not entered this race, if so many of us had not cast our ballots for Donald Trump, none of this would be exposed!

And then, once again, we the base of the GOP, frustrated and upset, unsure of exactly what happened, almost all of us having voted for other candidates, would again be casting our ballot for someone we absolutely do not want, probably Jeb Bush, possibly Mitt Romney again, hoping this candidate might the lesser of two evils.

Donald Trump is not the monster here, he exposes monsters.

Keep in mind, Jeb Bush said he did not have to win the primaries to win the nomination. Of course, he would have preferred to keep up the charade, but Donald Trump has made this impossible, and now we know just how little regard our party leaders have for us, how little we matter, except to get whipped up every two years to go to the polls to keep the democrats out of office.

But just how are the democrats any worse than these corrupt lying hypocritical traitors?

We have a chance to stop this, and it cannot be stopped with Ted Cruz, it has become apparent he is a part of this charade, the insider’s joke, and not the solution to ending this at all.

The Sea Island Resort meeting in Georgia likely has a great deal to do with this delegate poach plan.

If this doesn’t work and Trump wins, remember that the Google executive has paid 128 visits to the WH and Google will be eager to help ensure an acceptable occupant for 2016.

Yes indeed, and may all the loyal Trump delegates have a pleasant little get-away, wined and dined, and living in luxurious quarters for little while at their expense!

I noticed the word "activists" when listening to Cruz rely to Hannity's question about the delegate selection process in Colorado. Just on the context of the remark (answering that question), I knew that "grassroots activists" are distinct from "will of the voters" or even "will of the grassroots." The party insiders are the ultimate activists, and just like they did with the TEA party, you can bet they will adopt the moniker "grassroots" if that's an effective way to hide in plain sight.

These charlatans count on you making certain reasonable assumptions. But they talk in code, redefining common terms to mean something else - except they don't share their definitions with the general audience.

I have a visceral dislike of Cruz, have had for months.

You have it exactly right.

If wealthy elites are going to spend a BILLION dollars on manipulating elections, why bother with elections. Have small controlled caucuses. It’s much more time effective and cost effective to these folks and then they won’t have to worry about the popular vote not reflecting the delegate votes.

BUY DELEGATES.

Why waste hundreds of millions on ineffective advertising?

Just buy the delegate. Everyone has their price. Congress has proven this.

JBW1949:”If Cruz is given the nomination, Hillary wins big time...’

Talisker: “And that tells you all you need to know about who these super PACS actually serve.”

Sadly, you are 100% correct.

The GOPe is supporting Cruz for now, trying to defeat Trump.

GOPe is in bed with the Democrats for a Hillary presidency.

Your thread title claims that a SuperPac is bribing delegates to vote for Cruz, and this is based on your personal observations. So what, specifically, did you see?

Just give the actual name of o e delegate you contend was bribed, and the form of the bribe - how much money changed hands, what was the name of the person doing the bribing, etc.. If you personally witnessed it happen, then this should be easy for you.

Trump will win on the first ballot - making this all academic.

But it is instructive to know that Ted Cruz is nothing but a tool of the establishment GOP. I once had high hopes for Ted Cruz as an up-and-coming conservative but the blinders are off.

I cannot envision ever supporting Ted Cruz for any political office again. He appears to have shown his true colors.

IMHO, if the GOPe and Cruz keep it up and denies the presumptive nominee his hard-earned position as the people’s choice, it’s going to get really nasty as the Republican Party collapses onto itself. I suspect there are millions of Trump supporters who will refuse to support Republicans in November, all the way down to their local dogcatcher.

That’s because the general consensus seems to be, “Hey, we’re headed for a civil war anyway. It’s the Uniparty, and I refuse to reward them by voting. Let’s get this thing over with when Hillary comes for the guns.”

I suspect the GOP thinks they can deny Trump the nominee position and STILL keep their day jobs as elected politicians. BOY, are they in for a surprise. LOL. It won’t matter if they’re RINOs or true conservatives: They’ll fall in November like dominoes, all the while screaming, “WHAT?! What just happened?!!” I really don’t think they realize JUST how mad people are. Any Republican not supporting Trump at this point is not safe in November, even if their Democrat opponent is a Socialist-From-Hell. Yes, the anger at the GOP is getting to be that bad.

Keep up the fight, guys. Send your postcards every Monday. The more messages these idiots get in their mailboxes, the harder it’ll be for them to stay in denial about how serious this is.

Go create an anonymous account on Twitter and get involved in spreading the word. Follow ONLY the Trump supporters... it has grown to millions , i suspect, as the public gets more and more pissed off at what’s happening with the delegate buy-offs. Download the postcards that are floating around on Twitter.

Post Offices everywhere are out of their postcard supply, so it may be necessary now to make your own. People on social media are creating their own and sharing. Create a Dropbox account, update your AV software, buy some Avery perforated postcard paper at Walmart, and download the pdf files from Twitter. That guy Bill Mitchell has a supply, i think.)

And think about the postcards like this, too: The postal workers can read them, as well as the office staff of the recipient. You’re not only speaking to the recipient, but you’re also speaking to lots and lots of working-class people who need to be educated!

We have been calling the GOPe and the democrats the “UNIPARTY”...

I say we could correctly rename them the “POLITBORO”....

I pray the voters tomorrow will shut these two clowns out. They’re fighting the people yet some voters are deceived.

Kinda funny how people once accused Donald Trump of being the stalking horse in this election.

If they deny Trump there will be a 3rd party run even if it’s just a write-in campaign. And I believe he can win.

B_G_S, I know that you’ve only been here for a little over a month so maybe no one has said this to you but ...

...when you’re posting URLs, it would be helpful to the reader if you could post them as hyper-links/hot-links so we could just click on them to go there. This would be particularly helpful while we are on an iPad or smartphone.

Thanks
