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.

I want Cruz to continue in the Senate... mopping floors under the urinals in the men’s room.

He’s implying Manafort is a tough sob

Yup. Again, lack of judgement.

It was a photo of a gun and bullets, with the following statement:

“Appointment with Mr Manafort booked for 3:10PM the day before the Convention.”

So, Byron has a gun-related appointment with Manafort. You understand how that can come across as threatening, right?

Of course he did.

And if we somehow got almost nobody to vote on election day 2016, he’d crush Hillary Clinton and lead a new conservative Renaissance.

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

That's no way to speak....about Brooks Brothers.

Hey, it’s Washington state. They grow libtards up there like Georgia grows peanuts!

NEW INTELLECTUAL FROGLEGS!
Joe Dan drills another one into the left field seats!
24 minutes of pre-election details the NY Slimes and Washington Compost bury back in the obits (if they even cover them at all)!
If can’t take the time to watch this now, PLEASE bookmark it and — favorite beverage in hand — view it later!
THEN SHARE THE HECK OUT OF IT ON FB, TWITTER, WHATEVER BECAUSE, FRIENDS, THIS NEXT ELECTION WILL DETERMINE THE COURSE OF THIS COUNTRY FOR THE NEXT 5 TO 10 DECADES! AND, WHILE YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO SURVIVE IT, YOUR KIDS AND GRAND KIDS WILL! THE TRUTH IS THAT EVEN IF WE DO GET THE RIGHT FOLKS IN OFFICE, IT MAY TAKE THAT LONG TO CLEAN UP THE WRECKAGE OBOZO IS LEAVING BEHIND!

I sent him money early on and was a strong advocate for a Trump/Cruz ticket. Iowa shenanigans, Beck, Bush,Romney backers, chronic lies, and seeing Cruz’ lack of concern when Carly fell off the stage told me this guy is a total dirt bag, POS. Let’s not forget amnesty, support for NAFTA and TPP are anti-business positions. Cruz hates this country.

Not if you know about the movie...It was a western...That single action Colt is a western standby...The pocketwatch timed at 3:10 signifies the western movie, “3:10 to Yuma”...
The movie is a classic...You would have to know the movie to understand....
It was an analogy, nothing more...

Try to stay calm....

The delegates will be bound to support the winner of the state’s primary election, at least on the first ballot...

“The Republican Party will use the Presidential Primary results to allocate 100% of their convention delegates. The Democratic Party will not use the Primary Election results to allocate any of their delegates. They will rely solely on the results of their Precinct Caucuses on March 26th.”

You must be talking about the dems.

You come across as a culturally clueless drama queen, Theo.

Rule 16 ensures that all delegates for a suspended candidate are unbound.

And Cruz knows this....Cruz is treasonous scum!

JUst saw part of an interview of Hillary. She is going to “brand” DJT as “Dangerous Donald”. Watch for it. He better nip that one quick.

And you come across as a complete ass.

A photo of a gun, coupled with a threat to meet someone, can come across as threatening. Period. Just figured I’d mention it in case someone wanted the have that comment unpublished. Just trying to help, ass.

On second thought (it takes me awhile), Dangerous Donald is indeed dangerous: for the plans the communists have for the country. He’s dangerous to the GOPe. He’s dangerous for the Chamber of Commerce’s plans. He’s dangerous to the democrat party, etc etc. So there are plenty of ways he can turn that brand to his advantage. Owning something negative can be a powerful positive. I hope DJT knows how to do that.

Irrelevant.

WA State will go big for Trump tomorrow and the delegates are bound to vote for Trump on the first ballot.

If they can’t, the convention will revoke their credentials and seat a Trump slate in their place.
