I would imagine we all have them or we would not be here.
Yup. He said that last June 16, 2015
I think the American public should know the rules concerning the delegates and how they can vote one way but are able to change their minds and switch to the person not receiving the majority votes. Does anyone have that bit of
information.
I understand Donald Trump just “won” NY, but cruz is in PA working to gather delegates for himself, is it voted by the citizens of PA, or appointed by the DC republican “leaders”. What can Trump do, should cruz win PA, can Trump’s people, go into PA and change the delegate votes from cruz to Trump?
Wherever Trump has won the majority of votes and delegates, cruz has his people in that area taking away delegate votes from Trump to cruz. I would like to know how. Is it by states or America Wide? I just leaned that SUPER DELEGATES are picked who gave the most money to the “cauz” or were appointed by the republican party of each state and those party elites. Am I reading this right?
Naah! Just throw both of them in trash dumpster with the rest of the GOPe thugs, their pundits and mediots!
> hate to say it, but Kasich is the obvious VP
So, Kasich becomes our Biden. Oh, well I might be okay with that. But I would hope for better talent on the Trump team.
62% with 50% precincts reporting
Ted boasted in a tweet that “Donald, over 1.3mm people just voted in UT, ND, WI, CO & WY. You lost ALL FIVE in a row, by huge margins. #NoWhining https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/721694330805755904 …”
Wow, 1.3 Million votes in 5 contests? So, excluding Utah and Wisconsin, how many “votes” did voters in CO, WY and ND cast? What? Those were delegates selected at the state convention?
The delegates Cruz acquired in Colorado, Wyoming and North Dakota were obtained not by the results of an open primary election or caucus, but by the election of delegates by GOP party activists who favor Cruz at the party conventions of the three states in question.
Those delegates were not earned by winning the vote of the people, but by selection by party insiders and activists. That's not the same thing as an open and fair election.
Sure, you can claim that the state conventions were "open to all" but it's not the same thing as a normal election process and you know it.
Anyone not blinded to supporting Ted Cruz with the “by any means necessary” mindset can see the difference in how those delegates were obtained and we don’t like it. And you know it too, if you look at at how Cruz's poll numbers have cratered since those "delegate selections" took place and got discussed.
Cruz and his supporters can claim all they want that they’re “just following the rules” but they’ll soon find out that those delegates Cruz obtained at those three conventions where the people (voters) of those states didn’t get to cast their vote for the candidate of their choice will end up being the most costly delegates in election history.
I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere yet, but it's safe to assume those delegates were offered "something" to ensure their "loyalty" to Cruz.
I think it's also safe to say that Mr. Trump has awfully deep pockets so it's not out of the realm of possibility that at least "some" of those Cruz loyalists could be "persuaded" to change their mind on whom to support if the nomination process goes beyond the first ballot.
Just something to think about.
Walker is better than Open-Borders-Kasich
And did you know that Kasich's father was a mail man and John Kerry served in Viet Nam? (Couldn't resist.)
I must not have been at the right site or the numbers are way wrong. It shows Hillary easily beating Trump and even Sanders easily beating Trump in NY. What were the raw votes for Sanders, Hillary & Trump?
I was expecting to see Trump easily carry more votes than Hillary and especially Sanders. Does anyone have the real numbers?
Oh, I think we will have talent such as we've never seen before.
As for Kasich as VP? Paris is worth a Mass.
Trump at 62%
Kasich at 24%
Cruz at 14%
48% Reporting
The caucuses stink like a barnyard.
That inside party baseball has really hurt the party image.
Rules?? In an election????
Well, yes actually. Art of the Schlemiel, more like it.
I won’t bother reading the novel just wrote. Cruz or Trump 2016.
Kasich is a Soros stooge. He supports ObaMao Care, common core and amnesty, just for starters.
Cruz: ‘Trump campaign does not seem capable of running a lemonade stand’
62% with 50% reporting. The statement above is typical Cruz nonsense.
Too many big words for you?
It's just as well you don't read it, it's not flattering to you.
Trump’s regional weakness is the mountain west. He’s weak amongst women, and he’ll most likely be running against a woman. He’ll clean Hillary’s clock in Ohio, Kasich will take HHS. Jan Brewer for VP.
Did anyone really think he wasnt goind win it? Its his home state.
Now will he manage to knock out the Canadian?
And then will Kacich steal the nomination from him
It seems Kasich is knocking out Cruz in NY tonight.
Oh but Cruz can beat Hillary you know.....snort!
