You people do know that Cruz won 45.9% of the vote in Maine, right? So if the process in Maine wasn’t rigged, Cruz should get all of the delegates because, 45.9% is pert darn near 50.1%, and Maine should be a winner take all state. What say you Trump supporters?
I say you should have listened in and got informed about the process in Maine, and what is going on with tomorrow’s vote.
Maine is NOT winner take all...The only way to take ALL the delegates in Maine is to have over 50%...Cruz did not, just as you posted.
You say Maine “ should be” winner take all
Is it?
What are the rules?
Crying Don loves to twist the truth. Biggest fraud that has ever run for president in the USA. The same rules that apply to Cruz apply to sniveling Trump and if Trump did not spend so much time on twitter (Trump put the “twit” in Twitter” and took time to learn or hire people that understood the process he would not have any reason to whine and cry like a 2 yr old. Even his own children couldn’t vote for him in New York..ooops they missed the deadline to register. Crying Don will never reach 1237 delegates
First, Republicans are allocating all delegates based on candidates’ shares of a statewide vote, unless a candidate gets more than 50 percent of votes. If that happens, that person gets all the delegates.

How do you know?
I say Cruz deserves the delegates that the peoples’ votes awarded him. Other than that it show a complete lack of respect for Americans and their voted wishes.
Maybe not be illegal but sure sounds like something you Cruz supporters would hate if done by Obama or Hillary in fact it does sound like what either of them would do.
Obama, Hillary and Cruz simply don’t respect voters and will use the “rules”, a pen or phone to negate Americans.
You're both desperate and in denial
Yes, we know that Cruz won Maine's collectivist, groupthink caucus.
So if the process in Maine wasn’t rigged, Cruz should get all of the delegates because, 45.9% is pert darn near 50.1%
What? Non sequitur.
Maine should be a winner take all state. What say you Trump supporters?
Should and is are two different words.
You should take that up with the Maine GOP, because Maine is only WTA if one candidate gets over 50%.
That didn't happen.
So I's say you're full of --it...
Sure, just as soon as you admit that Trumps 12 point lead in CO requires all 40 of those delegates be handed over to Trump.
Maine republicans decide the distribution of Maine delegates. They have decided theirs are to be distributed propotionally. Go do some homework. Sheesh. I get so tired of educating no-info Cruzers.
What a bunch of BS
