This is how it's played, not crooked or illegal as some are saying. This is also why Trump is foolish to tout his "dealmaking" prowess as Cruz wipes the floor with him. It's also why Trump is making changes in his campaign staff, a little late, but better than never.
It is frightening to think Trump doesn't know how the states pick their delegates as he spends his own money and gets beaten over and over. If he knew what he was doing it would already be over, but it's unreal how he watches Cruz go scoop up delegates and he doesn't even send a representative down to try to get them. Trump doesn't even understand the system. Apparently he hasn't even hired a person that understands what to do. maybe the new guy will help, but it's a little late.
Cruz is scooping up delegates, setting up the convention rules to suit him, and lining up the conventions to favor him. This is what is referred to as "the ground game" and Cruz has a very good one and Trump's is invisible.
It was the GOPe that gave the CO delegates to Cruz and shut out the Trump delegates...not Cruz’s great ground game.
I guess you missed the fact that Trump got all the committee spots in AL and MI, and is set to do the same in NV? This happened over the weekend while everyone was obsessing over CO. “That new guy” is earning his paycheck.
