“trickier”, didn’t know elections were about “tricks”. Typical Lying Cruz.

The most ignorant comment i have ever read at Free Republic, you should be embarrassed by the lack of intelligence required to contrive such a comment.

Sadly you even seem to lack the intelligence to even understand what Free Republic represents.....pathetic!

I know a couple of sites are working on stories having to do with just how much of an insider Ted really is.

You can’t see the Colorado state delegates (who almost all come from GOP establishment elected positions—and think anything BUT that he’s an insider.)

The Cruz campaign sent a phone blast out naming all the people to vote for as statewid delegates. All names are within the GOP hierarchy.

“Silly me, I always thought it was about convincing people to vote for your candidate...earning their votes...going door to door, doing literature drops, putting up signs, etc.”

You seem to imply Cruz is somehow violating rules by engaging these delegates. He’s not.

Thanks for making a personal attack on me, troll. The irony was clearly unintentional, thug.

This is called “ground game,” folks. It’s well within the established rule sets every candidate knows or should know. Trump’s inability to understand those rules is his failure alone.
“ground game”

I have heard the term “ground game” used for months...

Silly me, I always thought it was about convincing people to vote for your candidate...earning their votes...going door to door, doing literature drops, putting up signs, etc.

Now I understand, “ground game” is about subverting the will of the voters....in essence taking votes others received—not trying to earn the votes of voters.

Well, the dems are good at “ground game” too—so if by some long shot teddy gets the nod, I will look forward to your full support of their actions.

I still think a ground game should mean earing votes of the citizens—not “wrangling/pilfering” delegates. I suspect Cruzers would be outraged if shoe was on the other foot and Trump was “taking” Cruz delegates.

I didn’t say Cruz is violating rules...he is a DC lawyer and lives just under the line of what could get them in trouble—his campaign staff is full of those types too...

However, just because something is a rule ( rules which seem to be open to regular change), does not make it right.

I believe he is disenfranchising the votes of the people.

May not be a violation, but neither is insider trading on the part of congress—just because it is allowed does not mean it has integrity.

Oh, but Colorado GOP just skipped the whole da*n election , which is outrageous, but probably the most honest state. After all,

**WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN VOTERS**

I’m very willing to come to an understanding, like yourself if i get pissed i’ll call it the way i see it which probably isn’t the best thing. I hope in the future you and i can address each other in a civil manner. Have a very good day.
