“Trump has half again as many delegates as Ted.”

Partially thanks to the GOP which awards Trump more delegates per vote than anyother candidate.

Why not? Ted blames everything on Trump.

Actually, 36%, not 50% more. And if not for the GOP awarding Trump 22% more delegates than voters it would only be about 25% more delegates.

Nobody ever asks to see it.

**************

I’m assuming you have to show some type of approved ID such as drivers license, etc. Then they match
that to their voter registration list and if you are on it then no need to see your registration card.

That’s the bottom line.

Absolutely. The truth doesn't matter as long as we stick to the "bottom line", right?

Ah, Guy Benson weighs in with his daily Trump hit-piece. Poor little Guy. Has no other life than to troll Trump.

In Trumps world, he demands four strikes per at bat or the game is rigged. Don’t even ask when his opponent tries to steal a base!

He better get his act together or the Clinton machine will steamroll The Donald.

Let me know if any of this is too complicated for you.

142%. This has shifted in the last few days. It's going to shift again shortly, and when it does, we'll be talking about 170%.

Cruz, indeed, is a drama queen. Can’t win elections. Has to rely on caucuses, goofy conventions, anything but letting voters vote.

GOPe (including Cruz) used to rail about getting more people into the party, making it “more open,” but of course, that doesn’t count if it doesn’t help St. Ted. The man should be ashamed of the process. Can’t tell you how many people I talk to who once were Teddites and who now find him sneaky, slimy, and utterly lacking in integrity. But I’m sure he’ll keep it up, even after it’s mathematically impossible for him to win. After all, he has been promised something from the GOPe.

I’m a county and state delegate in Utah. The racket in our state, is getting elected as a National Delegate. If I knew how to post this pdf, you can spend 5K-10K on cards, program advertising, booths, etc.

For a National Delegate spot, I am competing with the Governor, his wife, Orrin Hatch and all sorts of folks for those National delegate spots.

I don’t think people realize just how “establishment” you have to be to get to be chosen as a National delegate.

If you are not a party insider, it is very difficult to make any headway.

In truth, he wasn’t even a delegate to the state assembly to begin with.

And was never going to be because he was for Trump.

I agree with you. The other odd bit of news is that the Cruz supporters have not yet figured out that the Colorado delegates who say they are for Cruz are under no obligation to vote for him on any ballot.

The National Delegates are most likely, just GOPe.

...The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway was skeptical of the man’s version of events and dug into the back story...

Mollie ought to dig into Ted’s past to determine if Ted is a US Citizen

I can’t speak for all locations but I think a photo ID is
becoming the norm in most places if not everywhere.

"Trump has 743 bound delegates to 545 for Cruz, according to an Associated Press count"

36%

Well that makes what’s going on in Colorado okay then.

The only thing going on in Colorado is Ted Cruz getting all the delegates because the Donald Trump campaign was too incompetent to understand how the Colorado process works. Trump was a no-show just as was his delegate here. btw, doubling down on 'stupid' is not a winning campaign strategy.

This CONFUSED/BEFUDDLED Trump supporter is just like a LOT of the Trumpsters here (as well as Trump himself & the Trump campaign) -— DAZED & CONFUSED & ANGRY. And ANGRYLY LASHING OUT AT CRUZ — blaming Cruz for their own ignorance, laziness & general incompetence.

Did the Trump supporters accidentally vote for Pat Buchanan? Oh wait . . .
