Ted Cruz just crushed Donald Trump in Washington State election of GOP delegates
This Week ^ | May 23, 2016 | Peter Weber

Posted on 05/23/2016 7:14:08 AM PDT by detective

Washington State holds its Republican primary on Tuesday, and with one candidate left in the race, there's not too much drama about the outcome. But in a twist — and what would the 2016 race be without a twist? — 40 of Washington's 41 delegates selected Saturday to attend the Republican National Convention in July are Ted Cruz partisans. Cruz supporters outnumbered Donald Trump supporters at the state GOP convention in Pasco, and they were better organized, pushing through the Cruz slate of delegates over occasional protests from Trump backers, who noted repeatedly that Cruz is no longer in the race.

You’re right. That’s not really what I meant.

.. I have not seen the recent remake of "3:10 to Yuma", with Russell Crowe, and I'm not sure I ever saw the original ..

If you can find the time, please do? Van Heflin even better in that than he was in Shane.

Connie Hair! Well I never. Great to see you back on FR, CaL.

Let's put this little contretemps behind us tout suite, as we say Downunder.

Agree Ed! Another full WA State Trump supporter here and my sister and BIL are also voting for him.

I think Trump will do well today with the voters (as opposed to the convention that was stacked with Cruz supporters that overtook the caucuses).

“Does he? How many is many?”

The real answer is you have no clue, right? It’s okay not to know as long as you don’t pretend to know like so many others do and try to get others to buy in to the nonsense. Or, say you don’t care and move along.

Beautiful_Gracious_Skies seems to have done some of our homework for us.

So, how many is the “many” Trump delegates and supporters on the rules committee?

Yes, as I expected. You have no clue what you’re talking about. Only thing wrong with that is not taking the opportunity to repair that.
There is no dream to live. The guy I wanted to win didn’t and I will vote for the next guy in line. Stories like this are a bunch of nonsense that people, who have no idea what it means, read the headline and squeal about. Nothing wrong with the few of us still here with level heads trying to explain why it’s unsquealworthy.
Have a good one.

Two Brothers and five Sisters (well four, one is a diehard Dem). Plus their spouses and grown kids.
So we've got 30 votes for Trump already. Of course we'll have to wait two weeks or so for all the mail-in ballots to get counted ;-/

Oh noes! Trump won the WA primary with 77% of the vote and took all delegates. :-)

Correction: The apparatchiks for Cruz, the people for Trump.

Yes, we already knew that would happen. What is your point?

PS You still haven’t listed the “many” delegates Trump has on the rules committee. Is it that you don’t know what the heck you’re talking about or too prideful to admit you are ignorant?

Who won Washington state primary? Perhaps you are too busy on the Cruz site to be paying attention to ‘reality’.

Are you blind? I already responded that we knew Trump would win Washington. What’s your problem now?

PS You really STILL haven’t explained what the 40 of 41 “cruz delegates” that this article has so many people worried about means for trump at the convention.

“doodley-squat”.

There’s another famous cultural reference for you.

OooH, I know, I know....It was from a song...My gal is Red Hot...Your Gal ain’t Doodley squat...Dood..Dood, Doodley squat...

Now if I can only remember who did it...was it Red Nichols? Didn.t Ry Cooder do a cover of the song? Oh darn...its that old age creeping up again.

You are delusional. Cruz is going to be persona non grata at the convention. He won’t be speaking or have any say so in anything.

Talk about delusional, why don’t you go ahead and list all of those Trump supporters you have stated are on the rules committee? Waiting.....
I have no proof if Cruz will or will not be there, speak or anything else so I would not and did not say anything of the sort.
Look, it is clear you don’t understand what this article is talking about. I would be happy to try to help you understand. I’m sure there’s plenty about plenty other subjects that I don’t understand and maybe you can return the favor when needed.
