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

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.

No wonder the Cruz people I know have been extremely quiet! Cruz is one person I would never, ever vote for. He and Hillary would be a perfect ticket, both evil and always plotting!

Cruz is a crook in a Brooks Bros. suit (an ill-fitting one at that!)

WA GOP sold out long ago. They are the party of the chamber of commerce. Even to the point of endorsing tax increases if Boeing and Microsoft want them.

That’s exactly it.

A good friend of mine is a delegate - he told me that he was TOLD by party insiders that he MUST vote for Cruz.

I haven’t spoke to him since late last week, so am not sure if he was the one person who voted for Trump, but maybe so.

Got it.

(Sniffle) I do hope Cruz delegates are used to pain (sob).

Washington state Republicans would rather vote for an also-ran than one who will likely win.

That says more about the Republicans in Washington state than about the candidates.

‘We prefer to throw our votes away on a loser.’

Next, they will be buying tickets for last week’s lottery.

The communist liberals will never stop destroying America. If this State does not give the delegates to Trump it shows that the liberals are indeed communists. Cruz is a communists liberal trying to hide as a Republican Conservative. He is similar to King Obama the used car salesman.

Trump for President.

What are you implying? Are you threatening someone, on a public forum?

Washington State Primary is a freaking joke. It’s design to promote establishment types. They need to scrap the whole process and just let the people vote for who they want.

Yes, the ineligible Canadian MF and his ilk like Milt Romley are up to something. They will pull something nefarious between now and the convention to have their way.

It's a strategic mistake on the part of the Trump campaign to let up and let something like this happen.

I hope I'm wrong but there's trouble afoot at the convention, and the trouble makers will have the initiative in it.

I think anyone who’s afraid that Trump will not be nominee at this point is an idiot. And I’m happy as can be if the delegates selected are loyal conservatives. Don’t forget, Kasich is still running.

How close will tomorrow’s primary push Trump’s first ballot count to 1238?

Add 1 for good luck. 8<)

They will NEVER give up til they get their “man” in place, and Trump is not their “man”.
