CONFIRMED: Cruz Camp Stealing Trump Delegates from States Trump Won (VIDEO)

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.

Nope, sorry. I am not a zealot. I only support Cruz as a Non Trump.

All the polls tell the tale. Trump is unliked by everybody. Even white men!

Well, then, before we address the source of this “humor” you pretend to perceive and indulge in, why don’t we look at my post #352 and see how explain yourself viz you post #335?

Both I and countless others here would find the answers enlightening...or maybe even humorous!

Kindest regards for a great day,

CA....

Again, parse it however you please, but he will have had, by a clearly large percent, the bulk of the delegates.

You can nitpick it any way you please, by my premise is unchanged.

Which part of this gives you warm fuzzies about Trump’s chances in the general?

I understand this, but my point is that Cruz is about the worst possible choice. The “unknown” choice would have little better chance in the end.

Cruz was my first choice and after 8 months I've come to realize that he has no chance to win the general.

I don't care if you want to admit the truth or not, but Mr. Trump has the best chance to win the general over any give dem.

You can post any link you please but I’m not worried about polls this far out from the election, and I’m more focused on enthusiasm and cross over voters.

Cruz has neither which guarantees a loss in the general.

I guess we shall see in the end. I believe you are allowing yourself to be deluded. Trump’s unfavorable ratings, a result of his personality and performance, preclude him any success.

I know you Trump fans want him to be this messiah. But he’s not.

It ain’t stealing if it’s by the rules. And smart folks know that most delegates are only bound for the first vote. If Trump can’t out smart Cruz there’s a lot of folks on the international stage he’d fall victim to.

Cruz is a quick study on every situation he finds himself in.

He has played by the rules perfectly, while Trump has assumed that he could write his own rules.

What Cruz’ people are doing is what has been done for over a century in primary elections. The candidate does not pick his delegates, unless he has a smart enough team to get the job done.

Cruz has such a team, Trump does not.

Hillary would turn Trump into a graham crackers and milk brunch.

You simply can not face this can you? It’s just too much for you to take. If one man has more support from the public and the nominee is the other man, the support from the public simply vanishes. There is no path to victory for your man. It is long past time to stop playing games with the nomination and simply nominate the man that the people voted for. Everything else is going to fail.

You refuse to see this simple reality.

Cruz is the best possible choice we have had since the party screwed MacArthur.

Cruz has 360 degree crisis vision.

Trump has granny’s slide show.

The only reality is you think if you say some thing that makes it true.

I'm in the middle of liberal land here in Southern California. I talk to people from all over this area every day about the upcoming election.

Many are leaning towards Mr. Trump over Clinton, assuming that both are the eventual nominee. That shifts somewhat if Sanders is the dem nominee, but not significantly, depending on the age of the voter.

That in and of itself is astonishing in this area.

When I bring up Cruz to those who normally vote dem or consider themselves a “moderate” or conservative (in the California sense of a conservative), they dismiss him out of hand as being either “too extreme” to the right, or “too religious” due to his “preacher” act that they have seen.

From what I gather talking to others outside of this liberal state, those feelings more or less sum up what the bulk of voters are feeling at this time concerning the “front runners” for the general.

Take it however you will. Attitudes will also change over the next several months and eventually more people will start to pay closer attention to what is transpiring.

In the end, Cruz has no shot to win the general no matter what point of the cycle we are in.

Mr. Trump has the best chance at this time. That may change, but it will not enhance the chances for Cruz or any other person the GOPe tries to install.

If you cannot see this for yourself, you are not paying attention, or you are not being honest to yourself.

You seem to think that the majority of primary voters are simply going to be fine with their candidate not receiving the nomination. That is magic thinking. It is not based in reality.
