Article: "Cruz aide says they're hoping to maybe get some delegates in Pennsylvania, in the same way Kasich's campaign says he'll be the nominee."
Of the states voting on April 26, Connecticut and Rhode Island are proportional, while Maryland and Delaware are winner-take-all. Pennsylvania has this unusual system. IMHO, since Trump will likely win all states, he should concentrate most on Connecticut and Rhode Island, as to win as many delegates as possible.
won’t matter, there won’t be a 2nd ballot, and Cruz is sooo far behind that even if he got all 54 unbound delegates to vote for him, it won’t change anything. But, I doubt if he can get 54 people to vote for a loser such as himself.
Creepy. Totally banana republic. The obvious question is why bother to have a vote. This tells us how much respect he has for he voice of the people.
Another Justice Roberts.
Delegates who folks vote for are beginning to be known. Vote for Trump delegates first, then if there are not 3 Trumps, then vote for the ones who say they will vote for the winner of the CD. this should slow Cruz’s fenageling a little.
Cruz isn’t going to do anything, there will be no second ballot, and all this cheating and lying he has done will send him back to Texas...
He has nothing to offer the voters to back him, what he talks about he has taken from Trump, he’s like a ‘parrot’ Polly wants a Cracker? He has NO ideas of his own, and the people are getting tired of his obuma mantra: “it’s Bushe’s fault=it’s Trump’s fault”...even Hannity got put out with Cruz, he simply isn’t all put together to lead this country...the Senate doesn’t like him, nobody likes him, and I can see why!!!
Cruz’s death spiral of denial continues. Ted’s a mess.
I wish it was like Texas where the top 2 have a runoff. I think Cruz would win every state except NY
That is all irrelevant now after New York.
Trump is the presumptive nominee and Cruz is an asterisk, like Kasich. They are mathematically eliminated.
It’s time to unite behind the only viable candidate, if we are to win in November. That’s Donald Trump. The power now is in unity. All Aboard!!!
Cheers!
I like it!
Americans do not like these lawyerly tricks.
Cruz is quite good at these tricks.
Cruz is a Dead Ender.
I actually think the PA rules violate the RNC rules. This hinges on what ballot means. As constructed there are separate ballots for each congressional district with different delegates for each district. from zero to 6 or more from which you can choose three. These are the at large delegates but i think that the RNC wording references a single ballot allowing the selection of all 54 on one ballot. just my thots. Just my thots on it.
heres the part rule 16 re binding.
except for delegates and alternate delegates who appear on a ballot in a statewide election and are elected directly by primary voters.
Sounds like the Special Olympics approach - get participation points and rewards and then tell yourself (and others) that you “won” it/them.....Even when his shenanigans are over, he won’t be in a valid position to be nominated - Hillary will send him a Thank You card and invite him to dinner in the WH - he’ll eat in the kitchen with the other help.
Cruz’s appeal to a state’s unbound delegates is very compelling when he propagates on constitutional values, especially with regards to the independence of individual states to make and enforce their own laws. He is gaining traction by railing against the over reach of the federal leviathan.
If Trump wins PA these Cruz delegates better consider viability of Pat Toomey before going to the wall for a candidate with 700 (+/-) delegates.
