The “Never Trump” campaign met its end this week when Donald Trump accepted the GOP nomination for president at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. But one of the movement’s most prominent leaders, delegate Kendal Unruh of Colorado, said she’d do it all again.

On Saturday Ted Cruz supporters took all 13 of the delegates up for grabs at the Colorado GOP Convention to complete a clean sweep of the state. But it was not without controversy. There never was a vote – Party elites decided on who got the delegates. The anti-Trump politicians were passing around a “Resolution to Forbid Colorado Delegates from Voting for Trump” for weeks before the convention. Snip... Robert Zubrin from Colorado Republicans for Liberty wrote about the anti-Trump resolution at American Thinker back on March 22, 2016: In the caucuses March 1, I was elected an alternate delegate...

Senator Ted Cruz has at least eight Super-PAC's assisting his presidential campaign; and according to a recording obtained by Politico a Cruz's campaign bundler was directing large donors toward one PAC specifically. The "Stand for Truth" PAC. However, the campaign appears to have, yet again, gone into the land of illegality with the following statement (via audio recording): "If you hit your max then we have a table for you that is the unlimited table," Keet Lewis, a bundler for the campaign and co-host of a Dec. 30 fundraiser in Dallas, says on the recording provided to POLITICO. "It can...

A Ted Cruz super PAC made a curious donation back in June 2015… It gave half a million dollars to former tech executive Carly Fiorina's super PAC, Carly for America. The Washington Post first broke the story back in late July. Super PACs that explicitly support a candidate almost never give in support of other rival candidates. On top of that, at the time, Fiorina was one of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's main Republican opponents in the 2016 presidential race. That's why the donation was such a mystery — even The Washington Post piece didn't offer an explanation. It was...

In an attempt understand the allegation that Cruz paid "hush money" to Sarah Flores via Carly Fiorina I've researched filings available on the FEC website. The research is not 100% complete but I think there's enough to say "maybe", meaning it's not out of the question. There's enough here to warrant further investigation. I'll try to provide updates, motivation and time permitting. - - - Claim: The ($500K, excerpted) money from the Fiorina campaign was laundered through a company called MLJ Consulting. Nearly half of the money spent on ads, over $251,795, was paid to MLJ Consulting. On top of...

Donald Trump barely won Louisiana’s primary. In fact, he lost the actual primary day turnout. A big win in early voting helped him keep the lead, but it was close. So close, in fact, that for all intents and purposes, it was a draw. Enter Louisiana politics. Via my colleague streiff: What is very clear is that if Donald Trump is not awarded the nomination on the first ballot, his bloc of delegates will melt away and his wins are not being capitalized upon because his campaign is essentially incompetent. You see, when it came down to the actual election...
