Trump Campaign Fumbles Plea For Washington State Delegates by Sending It To D.C. Residents
Mediaite ^ | 4/12/2016 | Mediaite

Posted on 04/12/2016 12:58:41 PM PDT by mikelets456

So, here’s what’s going on: Trump wants delegates from the state of Washington, so the campaign sent out an email soliciting possible delegates on Friday, April 8 to let everyone know that the deadline to submit their Declaration of Candidacy for Delegate form was Wednesday, April 6.

Oh, no.

It gets worse, though.

There is no deadline anyway. Well, there sort of is, but it isn’t April 6 across the board; Washington has a number of conventions that all take place on different days and have different deadlines.. The gaffe would have reflected poorly on the campaign if they’d send a reminder for a legitimate deadline two days after it passed, but they now look doubly bad for sending the email two days after “the deadline” and not even researching to learn this, via Caleb Heimlich, executive director of the Washington state Republican Party:

Any convention or caucus (the counties are hosting them on a rolling basis from March 12 to April 16) has a filing deadline 72 hours before the event in order to appear on the ballot.

So, possible delegates can still try to get nominated from the floor, even if they can’t appear on the ballot.

It gets worse, though.

“Somebody needs to do some head bowling and get a new team.”

Trump always hires “the best.” Trump said so, himself.

The veracity of his statement is self-evident in this article.

Cruz has lost it fair and square and should step aside for the sake of the country.
If his continued efforts at thievery split and destroy the party,
we’ll be saddled by Hillary or burned by Bernie.

Cruz lost the primary vote and is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe)
in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to the winner.
Cruz is a sore loser turned traitor against the grassroots voters.
And the foolish neophyte thinks the GOPe is going to let him have a shot at the presidency
if he helps them block Trump?
Laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

I’m in Washington State. They first wanted to name the state Columbia, after the river that flows through our state. But, then they figured that would cause to much confusion, with .....
.
.
.
District of Columbia.
.
.
.
So - they named us Washington instead.

Oh - regarding names. The liberals thought that King County shouldn’t be named after some white settler (Rufus King). So they “changed” the name to King County - after Martin Luther King. (Although they did have to spend millions changing the county symbol with MLK’s face now on signs, letterheads, seals, etc.)

William Rufus DeVane King was not a white settler. He was a senator from Alabama and Franklin Pierce’s Vice President.

Yeah, and Lyin Ted made that Colorado guy burn his registration card after he got so confused he didn't even realize he had missed the state delegates meeting. But he thought he was a state delegate regardless. And Lyin Ted made Trump tweet about this guy - like he had a legitimate beef, but in actuality was just very confused and unlearned in the ways of his state's primary system. But I see why Trump alerted his followers to this guys plight - because Trump and his staff are just as confused by election laws and the election systems as that poor old guy was.

Anybody have a link to that CO guy whining. What a putz.

And he’ll do it without spending any money. Saving your way to prosperity appears to be the Trump way.

////Trump’s not put together a solid foundation in his campaign and it’s beginning to show. Can’t just depend on free media by insulting folks, calling them liars and cheats.

Not true, not true! Trump always hires the best and will make American grapes again by hiring the best!/s

Thanks - but he was a white guy!

http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/A-look-at-King-County-s-original-ex-namesake-1198232.php

The internet is great - but a time waster! But above is an interesting link with a look at William Rufus King. (Neighboring Pierce County was named after the president at the time - makes sense!)

He was inaugurated as VP while he was in Cuba. Barely made it back to the states to Alabama and died there. Never making it to the White House. (Times were sure different back then!)

Might just turn out to be worse. Goldwater won Mississippi. But the latest poll from down there has Mr. Trump and Hillary within the margin of error.
