Question re: Cruz/GOPe poaching delegates?

Posted on 04/19/2016 7:48:13 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

I heard Cruz saying tonight that he has "conservative activists" working the delegate to woo them over to his side. Is this true? Isn't it much more likely that the GOPe insiders are working the delegates? They control the party apparatus, not conservative activists.

I know from which I speak because I was involved in the opposite organization called the Republican National Coalition for Life.

Roger Stone and his then wife conspired to remove the plank.

Every election year we had to fight the organization he co-founded.

Karl Rove also employed him to fight us and our work.

Roger Stone is a true enemy of anything pro-life.

And he is currently advising Donald Trump against Federal law.

What else do you have?

Having been involved in politics for 30 years, I beg to differ.

I think Clintons probably did kill people

I don’t think they killed JFK Jr.

You are from Minnesota. That may be the way it is done there but not everywhere else.

I am not saying who is more conservative simple stating that both Trump and Cruz have conservative supporters. You saying that all Cruz supporters are establishment holds no water.

I dont care what you say Cruz has conservative supporters. Just because you dont think so does not make it so.

Ok, he may be a bad guy as far as opposing right to life goes if true or hasn’t corrected his wrongs.

BUT, There is a few things that don’t jive with what you are saying though. He’s not listed as a co-founder in Wiki, nor could I find it on the official website. Oh and it states the organization was started in 1989 but his wife died in 1990 so that didn’t leave you many elections to fight the two.

My comment was then that in the case of Wyoming and Colorado the voters did not get to vote for the delegates.

In CO and WY, registered Republicans voted at precinct caucuses for precinct delegates.

Wow, you want it both ways. All I can do is shake my head.

Then try and show some respect for those that know better than you.

Why would he have to announce it in wikipedia? He can remove that and contest it in case anyone else wants to put it there. He is a lawyer and he is known to threaten people. He was there in the first few years overseeing things at the Platform meetings because I saw him. We just happened to be able to out man him with having true pro-lifers on the committee thereby safeguarding the plank. When I heard his name pop up as someone advising Trump it told me everything I needed to know about Trump’s character.

Your link had nothing relating to your bogus claim.

If that is your weak retort, it seems you do not have any basis for the claim.

If you would like to know the truth, Republicans for Choice is a website. They do not have any organization like we have. What Roger Stone is really good at was bluffing and threatening. And RC somehow rolls out every four years and kicks up dust.

Sorry slyfox. I’m a conservative first raised in South Dakota. Can’t paint me Minnesotan. Common sense person despite where I live now.

Trump is not supported by true Christians.
His followers pay NO ATTENTION to what Trump does, and little attend to what Trump says.
Ezekiel 7 is coming and Trump says one thing, but does another.
The "Deal Maker" has made his deals.
But his interest ... are not ours.

You'd better think again.

It’s a start (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3422740/posts?page=101#101).

Start at the start. Then proceed to veteran’s organizations and their endorsements.

But I detect you have a piss-poor attitude such that facts will not persuade you. Where you got that from is your affair. I am not interested to deal with it. You can shove it.

Trump has always been pro-vet, always. And veterans know it. It’s recorded in his history and his father’s history. There is nothing hidden about it.

I just checked with the Holy Spirit, and He says that I am a true Christian, and He is voting for Trump. Something about electronic voting machines being easy for Angels to control. ;-)

There is not some fabled group pulling the strings at the top.

Sure you have leaders locally, whom then progress to the state, but it’s a bottom up organization.

I think not.
You might want to check that spirit's values with what the Bible says.

Yeah, but Stone is not associated with Trump's campaign anymore which is a good thing if Stone's view on abortion hadn't evolved over time, to right to life. For me though, those issues comes down to Roger Stone and God. Hopefully he saw or will eventually see the light.

Before we throw stones (no pun intended, lol) none of these people that run these campaigns are exactly saints.
