No this Syko didn’t destroy Trump stink state Leon Wolf.
Really? Why not name some names?
Why not point them out?
You completely lost me there!!!! Odd response at the least. You went on and on and on about Cruz. Someone I never mentioned on my post about trump not being able to stick to his own story from one minute to another. On an interview... That was the topic of this whole discussion.
Anyway, you obviously have me confused with someone else’s post on Cruz... Again, who I never mentioned.
Strange
Trump had over 4,000 votes more then Cruz and he should have more delegates-period.
Trump could've had them. Problem was, he apparently didn't know that, under the rules governing the Louisiana delegates, they were there to be had. So, he didn't even ask.
Cruz' staff, however, knew the rules and went after the delegates. When you play by the rules, how can that be construed as "stealing"?
Or was Trump due them by some sort of divine right?
Trump won the popular vote and should have won more of the delegates.
Won't matter, soon Cruz is going to be exposed for the fraud that he is and you guys will be weeping and gnashing your teeth!
Sorry, but Trump doesn't get his own set of rules. He's got to operate by the same set of rules the other candidates have to follow.
Trump had an equal shot at those delegates, but he got out-smarted and out-worked.
What Cruz did was negate over 4,000 votes with his 'clever' tactics.
This is a man who cannot even say outright that he was faithful to his wife.
He won't be around much longer.
“Cruz has gone in and stolen delegate votes from Trump in Louisiana and has more delegates even though he had fewer votes.”
I’m glad that you weren’t figuring the votes in 2000 or we would have had a President Al Gore!
No, Bush had the most votes in FL, so what are you talking about?
Gore won the national popular vote, but we elect the president based on the Electoral College vote. Similar to the delegate process in some ways.
It is really crazy some of the rules that the various states have set up. But - that is a state’s rights issue.
According to the rules, Trump's votes earned him 18 delegates. He got them.
Similarly, Cruz' votes earned him 18 delegates. He got them.
Rubio's votes earned him 5 delegates. And he got them. Subsequently, by suspending his campaign, he lost them -- again according to the Louisiana rules.
Those 5 delegates were then equally available to Trump and to Cruz. The prior voting totals had been rewarded appropriately and were thus irrelevant. One candidate was prepared to tae advantage of the opportunity. The other was not.
Cruz won the additional five delegates by out-smarting and out-working his competition. The Trump campaign lost out due to lack of preparation and failure to respond to opportunity.
Contending that the outcome was obtained unfairly, by cleverness and without integrity is just a loser's whining. To his credit, Trump apparently understands his error -- he's now hired a pro to manage his delegates for him.
Cruz didn’t win the delegates, that is the point you don’t seem to grasp.
Well, as a matter of fact, he did win them. They're in his column now, aren't they? And they could've been in Trump's column. But they're not.
These delegates were up for grabs. And Cruz won them, fair and square. Which is the point you don't seem to grasp.
I think you need to get yourself an English dictionary.
But, as I said, your guy won't be around for very much longer so the extra delegates are not going to do him any good.
