With Ted Cruz and his GOP Establishment allies doing all they can to steal the election from Trump the prevailing thought is there will be a contested (open) convention. Trump has said he thinks he will have the delegates necessary for the nomination. The NY Times says Trump getting 1,237 is not mission impossible. The NY Time’s outlines a path through Indiana and California. MSNBC say’s Pennsylvania could be the state that could stop an open convention. Here are the MSNBC highlights;
“At issue is Pennsylvania, which votes on April 26. Officially, only 17 delegates are directly at stake in that contest. They will go to the winner of the primary statewide. The other 54 are unbound delegates. They will run under their own names on the ballot, and if they are selected as delegates they will be free agents in Cleveland, free to vote for any candidate they want. Because Cruz has done well with unbound delegates in other states (like Colorado and North Dakota, where there was a premium on organizing), many are assuming that Pennsylvania’s unbound delegate bloc will be a problem area for Trump. It actually could be a major source of strength for him.
Here’s what we know. 162 Republicans are running for the 54 unbound slots in Pennsylvania, and 127 of them – so far – have replied to a survey from the Pittsburgh Tribune review. More than half of them are now saying that if elected as delegates they will simply vote for the candidate who wins their district. Another 20 say they’ll vote for Trump and 13 more say they are uncommitted (with several of them indicating that the results in their district will factor into their decision). Only 20 unbound delegate candidates in Pennsylvania now say they’d back Cruz...

PING
When is this filthy cheating cruz going to fully understand that we don’t like him, we don’t want him and that he should GTFO and go away!
Let me be a delegate. I declare that I’d vote for the state winner.... wink wink.

Nazi like tactics
Roger Stone threatens to send Trump supporters to delegate hotel rooms( By Nick Gass 04/05/16 )
Why is it “cheating” or “stealing” when someone works within the rules to best his or her outcome? Don’t we all do that when it comes to paying our taxes?
Trump’s Gestapo tactics!
The Trump campaign had better be paying attention to the Pennsylvania primary. The party “leadership” in this state - all the way down to the county level - is about as corrupt and inept as it can be. Something is going on here to attempt to influence the outcome of the primary and Trump’s people better have their ears to the ground or it’ll be Colorado all over again.
It was legal in Germany to turn in Jews, it was illegal to not turn them in or hide them.
So you’re just another don’t think for yourself rule follower, right.
We could have also said ‘left wing tactics’
It puts their disruption of Trump events in a new light.
Don't get your way?? They shut it down.
Because we are so angry that Trump lost, the rules are just so unfair because his campaign was too incompetent to understand them, that is Cruz cheating and stealing.
When is this filthy cheating cruz going to fully understand that we don’t like him, we don’t want him and that he should GTFO and go away.
Cruz is a pathetic little cockroach who is an embarrassment to conservatism. Actually he’s an embarrassment to all creation! Can we please kick his Cubanadian arse to the curb! Please!
Right, especially when the rules are setup to guarantee that they're selected.
Nope, no rigging the rules there!
Sure, "Ted" played by the rules, rules setup last summer to guarantee he'd "win" without a single vote cast.
Here's the problem for you and the rest of the Cruzlim's: the gig's been exposed. Time for the real revolution now.
Roger Stone is not part of the Trump campaign. Trump cut him loose last August because he was a loose cannon.
But don’t let any pesky facts get in the way of your Trump-bashing. Carry on.
Agree!
The rules were set up so an “establishment” candidate would win. But even within those rules the establishment candidates (Yeb, Rubio, Graham, etc) couldn’t win. Cruz is not nor has not ever been an establishment candidate. He just knew how to play within the rules better than they or Trump. Now Trump people are complaining and whining. Sore losers, I’d say.
Obviously things are set up through the states so that only someone already blessed by the RNC can survive for the sake of their own welfare and that is corrupt as hell every year not just this one.
The GOP/RNC needs to be burned to the ground and it's ashes sent back to hell from which it came.
Take Cruz on that little adventure trip as well because that turd and his devious ways since Carson is truly the most unelectable back stabbing POS in decades.
Trump should write a book called “The Art of the Steal”, about how Ted Cruz, Kasich and the GOP leaders are fundamentally crooked and how they spend their whole time thwarting the will of the voters, refusing to represent their votes so they can corruptly sit on top of their hills getting fat and wealthy as the people of the USA go under like the Titanic.
Imagine if the GOP worked against the Democrats, Hillary and Obama even half as hard as they do against their front runner Trump? The fact that their apparatus can go to war with Trump and not Democrats as we expect them to shows you how monopolized power is in this country.
I have a hunch that taking those Colorado delegates will do Cruz more harm than good. Sure solidified his opponents and I believe he’s gained more opponents nationwide!
Gee, you think after the GOPe Cochran election debacle Patriotic Americans are just going to bend over for the GOPe machine election stealing again?
Cruz is not nor has not ever been an establishment candidate.
****************
He’s a “NWO” Goldman Sachs tool... which means he’s GOPe at his core although they will reject him at the convention... He’s being used and is too stupid to see it.
