Ponder the wisdom and words of our Esteemed Founder from late last night:

I look less favorably on the efforts to have Cruz loyalists serve as bound Trump delegates. This, if the delegates are all unbound, is exactly nothing.
“This information is given to Cruz bloggers, asking them not just to blog, but to contact these delegates. It isn’t information from the RNC or official Republican channels (in which case it would be available to all candidates).”
I’m from Colorado. Those lists of delegate candidates are all over the internet. They’re available from state and county parties.
If you are a delegate to a congressional or state assembly, everybody is calling you—national delegate candidates, US Senate candidates, congressional candidates, third party groups who support one side or the other . . . . I got at least four robo calls and several live ones yesterday.
The silly season continues.
Even Ben Carson doesn’t like Cruz!
I’m pretty certain that the Colorado GOP gave that list to everyone. I’ve seen it for my county. I’ve seen it on the Internet for each Congressional district and for the whole state.
Well then we need transparency. Let’s see the full info on the internet.
No voter should feel bound to vote for another candidate if the delegate that is elected to represent them switches their vote from who the primary voter voted for.
The overwhelming majority of Dems having absolutely no intention with staying with Trump in the general.

And how do you know this?
I have friends that normally vote dem but plan to vote for Trump.
You’re blaming Cruz for Trump’s failings. He dropped the ball on delegates and that’s not Cruz’s fault.
The saintly Cruzers "say" they "found" a list of names and phone numbers of Colorado delegates......
Hah. They didn't "find" anything.
As you insightfully posted: The delegate list of names and addresses was delivered by the GOPe.
Dealt with Real Estate Developers?, Yes, I have and they were sleazy bata__d’s just like Trump.
Something cRuz has never participated in.
I sense your strong hate for Trump, in your reply. Maybe this has something to do with your anti-business bias.
The point is, because of the laws that were already on the books, Obama had the ability to do a complete end run around Congress anyway, regardless of whether or not Congress approved the deal. That completely sucks, but those laws were a mistake that long predated the Corker bill.
The Corker bill had no real teeth because the Democrats wouldn't let it have any, and if it did, Obama would have vetoed it. All it really ever had the ability to do was slow things down a bit. That's it.
That whole fiasco is just symptomatic of the problems with a regulatory state in which Congress delegates too much of its power to the President or to the Executive Branch. By the time this deal came up, the problematic laws had already been on the books for years, and there really wasn't a damn thing that could be done about it.
Never seen anything like it.
Same here. And, I guarantee if the tables were turned...and Trump, or any other candidate, were trying this AGAINST cRuz....these few cRuzers, here, would be having major hissy fits.
But, no, St. Ted doesn’t cheat. He is completely honorable.
If he had run as a “regular” politician, I’d have no problem. But when you sing “Praise the Lord” and have your father talking about how you are “ordained by God to reign over America,” then pull this dishonorable stuff, sorry, this is hypocrisy at its highest.
Unbound delegates are the property of their conscience. They are deliberately not pledged to give the state-level parties flexibility to deal with campaign issues.
The appearance of these notes is unseemly, but rises no further than that. Unbound delegates are not required to support any specific candidate on the first or any other vote, so it cannot be truthfully said that they belong to Trump.
FACTS ON FILE Trump has won a huge chunk of states and will go to the convention w/ about 1400 delegates (west and east states have not yet voted). Trump/s nearest competitor is half that——around 600-650——w/ little or no chance to maimize those numbers.
Yet, the desperate Cruz camp wants us to believe (via this agit-prop): “In 22 states, more than 60 percent of Republican voters have rejected the Donald...” Notice how the anti-vote is never applied to him or to the other candidates.....b/c it blows the argument to smithereens.
REALITY CHECK: even though Trump won in Louisiana, Cruz weaseled 10 delegates more. Cruz is all in with the GOPeers. Cruz is doing to Trump what Hillary Democrats are doing to Bernie Sanders......when he wins he gets screwed and Hillary gets more delegates. Cruz is NOT an outsider by any means and he is being outed in more ways than one.
All of Cruz/s activities must be reported....the little scumbag will do anything to win. As in Iowa, Texas, Utah, etc. He lost Louisiana but has ten more delegates than Trump. Watch for this to happen everywhere.
TRUMP BALLOT SECURITY PROJECT
Committee to Restore America’s Greatness PAC
FR Posted 3/19/16 by Albion Wilde
The Trump Ballot Security Project (TBSP) was formed when the main stream media reported dozens of voting irregularities in the Texas Republican primary. This ultimately totaled over 600 reports in at least six counties including Dallas County and Travis County. In virtually every case votes cast for Donald J. Trump were tallied for Senator Marco Rubio.
(NOTE:CRUZ IS STEALING DELEGATES LEFT AND RIGHT)
<><> He lost Louisiana but has ten more delegates than Trump. Watch for this to happen everywhere
<><> the Iowa fiasco where Cruz stole Ben Carson/s delegates by lying saying Carson was dropping out, telling supporters to caucus w/ Cruz.
<><> Even though @realDonaldTrump won delegates in Texas the @TedCruz- @georgepbush #RickPerry cabal is refusing to slate Trump supporters.)
<><> In Utah w/ Beck and Romney running the show, the Cruz team emailed supporters the day of the caucus, telling them they can vote absentee that day. This is in violation of state law.
The TBSP established a Toll Free number to collect further reports of voter irregularities.
Almost immediately there were over 300 complaints from Oklahoma. Only a week later the Kansas and Maine Caucuses brought hundreds of more complaints including claims of double voting by supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz.
Now we are focused on Arizona, Utah, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California. To the extent possible, we are attempting to place trained poll watchers in those counties with a recent history of voter fraud.
The Trump Ballot Security Project is committed to investigating all complaints of voter fraud. In the event a pattern can be determined, the seating of these delegations can and will be challenged before the Credentials committee of the Republican National Convention.
We have dispatched lawyers and election law experts to all of the states mentioned above to investigate and document voter fraud. NOTE The Trump campaign is not currently devoting resources to this important function.
TBSP is a project of the Committee To Restore America’s Greatness

You Trump supporters are making no friends among Christians with Alinskyite attacks like this. We Christians now know not to trust Trump supporters.
Can you give one shred of evidence for this statement?
The Corker amendment passed 98-0. He said at the time that it was the only way to have any influence in the ongoing Iran negotiations.
Without Corker there were two options.
1.) Obama makes whatever deal he wants and Congress must take exceptional means to stop it such as a court case, impeachment or shutting down the government.
2.) Obama makes whatever deal he wants and Congress does nothing as they always do because they are useless eunichs.
With Corker, it is a little bit different.
Obama knows that whatever deal he makes MUST go before the Senate to be approved. There is an incentive to at least attempt to not give away the store. Cruz and the other rational Senators knew that it was their only opportunity to reign him in at all. They relied on the other Republicans to hold firm on their insistence that it must be a good deal. Of course, since the other Republicans are useless eunichs they did not hold firm and passed it anyway.
Immediately after the deal became public, Cruz had a legitimate plan to stop it. He proposed having the Senate refuse to vote on it because not all of it was made public as Corker plainly required. Then the Senate would threaten any financial entity who released funds to Iran with prosecution. This would have worked if the useless eunich Republicans would have gone for it.
To lay the Iran deal at Cruz's feet shows either stupidity or flat out lying.
“From here on out the only candidate anyone can support is Donald “Little Hands” Trump”
That is a gay thing. Do you like to stand with gays?
I always thought that candidates have slates and when that candidate wins, their slate goes to the convention. If that isn't the case, I'm real uncomfortable with delegates who don't feel an obligation to be true supporters of the candidate whom voters have chosen. It's just begging for a third party alternative.
It’s notour fault that the Donald is too busy tweeting out stupid things, calling people names like a child and behaving like a rock star to actually do the work it takes to win the nomination.
Besides, didn’t your good buddy, Roger Stone, claim he was going to post the names and hotel room numbers of all the delegates so you guys could harrass them. You all thought that was a great idea.
You’re all full of it.
