The Harrisonburg Daily News-Record ^ | April 7, 2016 | The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Donald Trump dominated Virginia's coal country in the March GOP primary, but Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's strength with party insiders may win him the support of the area's delegates to the Republican National Convention.

Trump's campaign is set to face a crucial first test of its organizational strength in Virginia when state Republicans begin electing delegates Saturday. Those delegates could ultimately help decide who becomes the Republican presidential nominee at a contested national convention.

A few hundred Republicans are set to gather in Wytheville, a town of 8,000 in the state's southwest corner....

So again, the People voted for Mr. Trump
and the whoring, globalist, Romney-McConnell plant
intends to again steal what he could not earn.

Hmmmm. So you would prefer that all, or just some, rules be ignored and thrown out? The rules were established long before any candidate got in the race. I suppose you would like to start awarding 22 points for touchdowns in the last 2 minutes of the game? Or, perhaps disallowing the trailing team to score any points at all.

Is it “stealing” if rules are observed? I think not.

The People voted, and the scumbag known as Sen Ashley Cruz,
married to Goldman Sachs, supporter of ObamaTRADE secretly,
in state after state has lied and attempted to steal
Electors chosen by the People.

Cruz is a man one would expect to see the NE write about.

So VA votes, the voters thought that they now send their delegates to the convention to vote for who they want and now they see their votes and the primary was a waste of time.

Does cruz understand that he is losing voters by doing this?

Yes, and the Cruz supporters think this is just fine!

If Cruz should happen to win the nomination, you would see millions of voters leaving the GOP.

On top of that cruz did awful in VA and it is an important swing state which we need in the general and if people feel as they do here in FL that Cruz is taking their votes away then those people like here will not vote in the primary and thus Clinton wins.

cruz did awful in the swing state of VA, he has to understand he is really pissing a lot fo people off and those people like here are saying they will never vote for him as they see him as another sleazy ivy league lawyer for the establishment.

What is mind numbing is how those cruz voters think this is fine and yet if their guy was winning and they saw this they would be outraged.

Cruz is nothing but a sleazy lawyer./

Yes and millions of Trump voters would never vote for him.

I won't.

I would be officially done with the GOP forever.

Stealing or not, to me it makes no sense to think that if Trump does not get the required first ballot number but still comes to the convention in 1st place, giving the nomination to the guy in 2nd place would do anything other than put Hillary in the WH. That is, how many millions of Trump voters would stay home under that scenario and what states would Ted go on to win that Romney did not? This is why guys in second (and third...) place tend to drop out when it becomes clear that they cannot go into the convention with a majority themselves.

(The only thing guaranteed to big a bigger flop would be to foist Paul Ryan or Mitt Romney on us.)

I have been thinking almost the same thing. 40 Plus years as a Republican and now I see them as nothing but corrupt, just like the Democrats. Both Parties need to be Destroyed!!!!!

May re-register as a Anarcho-Capitalist.

Hopefully Trump’s new guy, Menafort (sp?) lives up to expectations and his record and will handle this challenge well.

Sure it is.

Voters vote, GoPe and Cruz steal, and then expect voters support? Of course they don’t, they know this drives voters away, this is about electing Hillary and keeping the status quo. Cruz supporters just GoPe tools. A fact.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's strength with party insiders

The old saying that all is fair in war and politics. That is exactly why this country has been taken over by criminals.
