It's getting hard to tell the difference anymore between 'conservative activists' and 'republican operatives'.

Four legs Good! Two legs Bad Better!

Come to think of it .... it all reminds me of the very last line in animal farm ... hang on ... let me google it .... ooh great sight called thefirstlinelastline.com ... HERE WE ARE!!!! ...

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

I believe it is GOPe operatives in each state that have been assigned the task of twisting the arms of and bribing the delegates. Because they are doing this dirty work for him, Cruz can say that he is “uniting the party”.
I also believe, from listening to Cruz today, that he is delusional and becoming unhinged. He never gives a straight answer to anything and folks are starting to notice.

Cruz simply takes Trump’s past actions to their logical conclusion should he end up in the White House.

Did you expect Conservative Southern Baptist Ted Cruz to win ultra-left New York? The state where the governor said conservatives aren’t welcome?

How did that Southern Baptist strategy work out in the South?

Ted Cruz really needs to bow out.

If Trump doesn’t run as a Republican he should try the Libertarian party line Wayne Root was the party’s VP candidate last time and he is a Trump support now.

Lots of Trumps opinions are Libertarian , Trump was against going into Iraq, he is for the wall, and American jobs. Trump is against socialized medicine, he is for bringing back many Fed Functions to be under State control.

Libertarians have done an excellent job of getting on most State ballots, Unlike the Tea Party, they didn’t believe the Republicans who waged a war against the Tea Party.

Libertarians are not corrupt like the money grubbing Republicans and Democrats.
Both parties have sent half the manufacturing jobs abroad, and screwed the working middle class, and technical workers with H1b visas.

You think out of 1000 or 100 delegate wannabes at the intermediate local stages of delegate selection there is only Jebster?

Ted Cruz needs to stand down. Now.

Oh come on! Cruz doesn't need to stand down until Donald has 1237 delagates. And not one MICROSECOND before! Why should he? Because some Trump fans want him to?

May I add that the “evil” GOP activists, who are the actual working basis of the Party, worked like Trojans through Precinct, County and State delegations for years.

Unlike the Trump supporters who assume they can just show up at the State Convention and pretend participate with full grasp of the proceedings and privileges. But, hey, that’s the Trump way.

if there’s no such thing as stealing guilt delegates then Trump can simply buy and bribe as many delegates as he wants and be open about it ....

make an announcement if he falls a few short just say I’ll give a million dollar to any delegate that switchs to me from Cruz from Rubio from any other camp

is that really how you want to play it

When will YOU admit Ted Cruz has sold out to the GOPe as a Trump spoiler? EVER? Your Mr Cruz will not be nominated, will NOT win if he is nominated and will have cost the GOP yet another election they could have won easily. I have to conclude from this time forward YOU are in favor of a rigged system.

Please note that “wooing” delegates doesn’t imply “poaching” - on the second ballot in Cleveland, who will the Rubio and Kasich and miscellaneous other candidates’ delegates vote for?

I’m sure Trump feels he’s entitled to them, but if doesn’t “woo” them he won’t get them.

Sorry to see you’re on the wrong side of this one, Jim; one of the two major candidates understands the rules, while the other only understands the media and opportunism, and saying whatever he thinks will get him the most attention on any given day.

The TEA Party is not a party. It is a moniker named after the original Boston Tea Party.

And it stands for Taxed Enough Already. It is not a political party.

Cruz is about to be in a position where there isn’t any way he can get 1237 delegates.

As the owner of this site has essentially said, Cruz is now in it to help Hillary in the general election.

Because he is not going to win the election.

He just isn’t. He won’t win.

He won’t win. He is going to destroy the GOP.

Ann Coulter did the homework.
All stolen states eg CO, WY, etc, do have laws stating
1) no denying people’s vote
2) yes vote is of the people

Proving a negative, the word ALL was not present.
That is RNC’s loophole to rob the citizens.

They violated the law. RNC & Cruz are criminals.
