Townhall reporter Guy Benson today admitted the Cruz campaign is stealing Trump delegates in states that Trump won.
The Ted Cruz campaign is running Cruz supporters as Trump delegates in states that Trump won. That way they can steal the nomination from Trump in Cleveland although they’ve only won a fraction of the states Trump has won.
Guy Benson: This has been percolating for several months. He has a very sharp legal team that know the rules inside and out in a way the Trump campaign clearly does not. It’s not just Louisiana. And it’s not just finagling to just get Rubio delegates or unbound delegates. What they’re also doing is getting people elected as Trump delegates who are not, in fact, Trump loyalists. So they would be bound to Donald Trump on the first ballot only. After which, although they are technically Trump delegates, they’ve been sort of put in place to jump.
And these are the same people who call Trump supporters ‘morons’ one day and beg them to support Ted Cruz the next.
CONFIRMED: Cruz Camp Stealing Trump Delegates at State Level
I’m afraid the game will be played by current rules.....whether you and me like it or not!!!
They are all losers. No one has a majority. What word don’t you understand?
If Trump get 1237 delegates, he wins. If he doesn’t, he’s a loser, too.
....they'll take their ball home as they do....A Primary election is more than just rallies, cotton candy, and cheerleading....
So, you’re saying that Cruz supporters are murderers and molesters? I’m just joking, but your analogy is unfortunate.
Trump needs to keep his a$$ off twitter!!
See, you think they are fools. So does the guy trying to win the nomination without their votes. He can not win without the “fools”.
It is you who must join your dreaded “fools” if you want to keep Hillary out of the Whitehouse. If you don’t well it’s you and George Will in your happy little boat.
Trump ignored what savvy campaigners told him from the start. Trump hired Chuck Laudner to build an Iowa ground game - that’s grass roots delegates starting at the lowest level - and then Trump completely ignored Laudner.
Trump has ignored the delegate count as a matter of strategy, not because he didn’t understand it. It’s a gamble based on his Kardashian appeal.
Trump is an accomplished and truly successful person. The next Kardashian candidate probably won’t be, and might even be an actual Kardashian.
Well Bye!!!!
Very good post. Thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts on FR for us. I appreciate it.
Facts only irritate them!!!
dittos!!!!
I Figured someone would read it this way
I am talking about the depths to which lawyers sink to exploit ‘ rules” for their clients and thus themselves
Set a murderer free is justifiable if you outmaneuver the victims family with the Rules
Ecch
I know and you are right
Thank you for your kind words.
God bless,
...” We’ve at last found someone who speaks of the very issues that most bother us, issues that NO ONE ELSE BOTHERED TO RAISE!”......
Those issues have been raised and fought in the trenches by many others while Trump was dancing, entertaining and funding for decades those very politicians and people who support them . So don’t try and shove the nonsense he’s the ONLY one...who at last.
All your comments reveal is you and others weren’t paying attention until your hero was given a theatrical media stage in which to “echo” what others were not only saying...but DOING what he now claims his.
I know, huh? The irony is delicious.
Do you agree cruz cannot get enough delegates to get the nomination before the convention?
f so and I would expect you do then he wants a contested convention right?
If so then is that what the establishment wants?
Yes of course it is.
Now what we have here is the establishment using cruz to get their contested convention and cruz is very willing to help out.
Therefore he is doing their dirty work. He hired Bush, got the help from Romney, endorsed by Graham and worked for the Bushes back in TX before he got his seat.
yes I’d say that is part of the establishment.
Now we might differ on that , but when I look at it like that then I can’t see any other picture about cruz and that is why I stopped supporting him.
check, and agree.
...or stealing...in real talk
“Thanks, for explaining. It really explains how these old lifers are almost impossible to kick out.”
Thank you for your very reasoned post, I appreciate that you are learning about the election process.
I would like to point out that one of the most valuable offices is as the party leader in the Senate. McConnel has controlled that office for a couple of election seasons now and as a result we have all had to deal with Rinse Priebus for far too long. In addition, as the top Republican Senator, he has been able to control millions of dollars of campaign moneys.
We were very close to ousting him in the last election with a very good Conservative candidate named Matt Bevin. That candidate just one the Governorship of KY in this past KY election and I am glad for Kentucky that he is in office. It was heartbreaking when we lost the KY primary and McConnel retained his seat....
Why did we lose? Well, there were multiple reasons. One was that Trump made last minute donations to Mitch.....
So, you might not like how things are run, but you need to remember that Trump is part of the reason that they are run this way. He helped, by a great deal, keep Mitch McConnel in his seat, so he carries some of the blame for these rules.
