“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.
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,
