Of course this is happening, you will see an avalanche of devoted Cruz delegates defect. Why?
There is not benefit to being a delegate to the losing candidate.
All of the future power lies with the winning nominee.
Can people rationalize their decision after the fact, especially those delegates who were selected earlier in the process when Cruz was closer to victory? Absolutely.
Man, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen the Twister Board. Thank you!
I loved the Freak Brothers.
Fat Freddies Cat was great.
That is funny!
Since he’s not eligible to serve as POTUS, it’s only fitting that, if he gets the nomination, he gets it from voterless elections. Someone could torture the constitution’s “natural born citizen” requirement into something that would work with winning elections where there are no voters means the provision doesn’t count.
he who laughs last...
” Jim Poolman, a North Dakota delegate who had previously committed to a first-ballot convention vote for Cruz. “But I want to be clear, I think the will of the people does mean something, as well,” “
Oh really Poolman!, well I think the will of the people should mean EVERYTHING, not just “something”. How dare you overrule the will of the people you worthless scum.
Excellent.
They want to go with a winner.
Cruz is not that winner.
Not on the 1st ballot.
Not on the 2nd ballot, if there is one.
Not on the 70ieth ballot, if there is one.
Besides the fact that EVERYONE is wise to the fact that Lying Ted is a weasel of Epic proportions, I’ll bet he’s polling very badly on Indiana.. Just like every other state where people vote.
Where’s that Carly bump??!
Good find!
We did NOT have an election here in ND. Those delegates are unbound. Our state representative conducted a straw poll that Trump won. He is a Trump supporter.
I don’t believe it for one second. What garbage.
Is that Free-Wheelin’ Franklin?
Garbage?
Count the co-inky-dinks:
Carli gets $500k.
Carli shows up on the campaign trail to defend Ted from zipper issues, while Heidi is in some other state.
Carli gets the VP slot, if there is a Cruz ticket.
Carli only had 1 delegate in her column.
Then, there is that ole adage: Politics makes strange bedfellows.
:)
If cruz won the delegates for the the first ballot, that should be the their vote. That said, he should stop being a slimeball and leave Mr Trump’s delegates alone.
Fabulous!
It’s been many years since I’ve seen the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers!
