Majority of North Dakota GOP delegates support Ted Cruz

F ARGO—Presidential candidate Ted Cruz's supporters claimed the bulk of North Dakota's Republican delegates this past weekend, but the impact of that win won't be apparent for months because all of the delegates in the state are unbound.

Of the 25 delegates elected at the North Dakota Republican convention, at least 17 are supporting Cruz or leaning that way. {snip} But Dever believes a lot could change between now and July, when the Republican National Convention is held in Cleveland. That's why he was surprised to see his name alongside 22 others on a list of "Cruz supporters" that was on every seat at the convention this weekend.

Clare Carlson, the deputy director at Workforce Safety and Insurance in Bismarck, was also confused to see his name on that list, given that he is "firmly uncommitted," he said.

Cruz does great in elections where the people don’t get a chance to vote

Cruz lost the Ocean County Republican endorsement today, 105 Trump, 26 Kasich and 6 Cruz

Ocean County is the reddest county in New Jersey and will decide the primary in June

ND does not actually let the people vote, the party elite gather and select their own and so this is no surprise.

I cannot understand why so many people are willing to put so much trust in a Harvard trained lawyer ?
These political lawyers , with their slick deliveries , will say anything in order to get elected . ie: Barack Hussein Obama & Hillary Clinton .
Cruz was doing an important job in the U.S. Senate and we needed him there . His lawyerese was actually useful there .

But now he reminds me of all the other fast climbing political graspers ( ie: little Marco Rubio) .

You own what you earn and you have to earn what you own . A short term in the U.S. Senate does not qualify .
It’s didn’t for Obama and it doesn’t for Cruz.

Trump’s business accomplishments speak for themselves . He earned them , he owns it .

Excuse me.

Trump needs to debate Cruz one on one.

But he’s Chick’n so he won’t.

He’ll get his butt handed to Himself. Believe me.

Trump is not man enough. He’s EVERYTHING HE HAS ACCUSED OTHERS OF BEING. You know the list.

And don’t give me this crap “They’ve already debated.” We both know that those debates were watered down entertainment venues. I’m talking about an issues debate, man to man.

RE:"Majority of North Dakota GOP delegates support Ted Cruz,

Standard reply :

Obvious Cruz cheating again."
"If Cruz wins the nomination then he obviously cheated and we all must support Hillary to teach the GOPE and Cruz a lesson.
Besides Cruz cant possibly win and so he should quit now”

Well he is doing pretty well so far he got more delegates in Louisiana than Trump did.. He really does well with one on one against Trump.. Two weeks is a long time till New York.. Cruz might surprise you..
