Ted Cruz backers have filled all 12 of the delegate slots at stake today in Colorado, swiftly navigating the complex process to consolidate support around his candidacy. His supporters now fill all 21 of the state’s allocated slots so far.
No doubt ...why won’t they fight dirty like this in the general elections ?... unreal
Well, Cruz should pick up another 15-20 delegates from Wyoming, and another 10-15 from North Dakota, so that should pretty much take care of that 34 needed from NY...
Is Cruz even going to break 20% in NY?
And if your powers of persuasion can’t get them to see that voting for Cruz over Hillary or Bernie is not in their best interest that only reinforces their stupidity. Or your lack of powers of persuasion.

Laughable response. This race was over after FL and OH, where Trump beat down Cruz to the tune of 1,000,000 CONSERVATIVE voters. No primary candidate has ever lost those 2 need to win states by that margin and won the nomination much less the presidency.
Cruz, GoPe, and MSM have been working overtime to elect Hillary since. Gotta keep that status quo and open border.
No honest person can possible state otherwise.
Cruz is a tool for establishment, also undeniable, so whats that make his voters. Fools.
Keep living in your Walter Mitty fantasies and basing your thinking on bogus Internet allegations.
You do realize that you have to learn to speak Cruzbonics in order to communicate with cruzers, don't you, factoryrat?
Otherwise, you might sprain your eye muscles rolling your eyes at being regaled with tales of how gloriously Ted the Unipatsy is going to go down to defeat in November.
But By Gums, it'll be glorious! LOL! :)
"Yeah, but Ted won the Colorado primaries, remember? ' Member when Ted won the Colorado primaries? 'Member?" /Chris Farley voice...
Yes unreal...I have been here since 2000—well lurked before...Never seen anything like this :(
But it is good as the light of truth has been shined on the GOP, GOPe, talk radio, Faux News, and “fellow” Freepers....Probably good to know tho truth hurts sometimes
The voters start the process in 2995 statewide neighborhood caucuses where they vote for local delegates. These 2995 local delegates then elect county and statewide delegates who then vote for the candidates.
Sounds like a democratic republican process to me but not to somebody like you, a low info DU nitwit.
The steal is on by the GOPe and Cruz, plus much more interesting information:
Trump Has The Power To Expose The Largest Money Laundering Scheme In History

And the conservative base votes in the Rino gov't...I think the base you are talking about is the Rino base...
The “gotcha” lawyerish safety patrol student council wimpy type rule book thumpers rubbing their sneaky slimy little hands together as they pull the rug out from primary voters need to stop gleefully slapping each other on the back, and thoughtfully ponder the most important rule:
Rule 308. That’s the “Tree of Liberty” rule, and lots of us are biding our time, waiting the results of the convention, to see if it needs watering again.
I find it entertaining that the safety patrol rulebook thumpers are outing themselves so nicely. So easy making accurate lists. Do they think we’ll just say,”Oh gosh, you got us good. See you in four years!”?
He doesn't have to - he just has to keep Trump below 50% in the district, and get over 20% in the district. If he and/or Kasich do that in enough congressional districts, it will put a dent in Trump's delegate count in NY.
Let's see - translating that from the original Cruzbonics:
"If you Cruz, you lose."
It is quite simple to vote in Colorado as a delegate. You must be affiliated with the party for 60 days. You must be registered to vote 29 days before the caucus. And finally you need to live in the precinct you will vote in for 30 days at the time of the vote.
These are just so you can vote. Very basic requirements if you ask me. If you think people cant vote for candidate you are wrong. Just about anyone can vote in this caucus with a little planning.
So what if you have to spend a few nights at the caucus till a candidate is chosen. This just eliminates to people who are not willing to put in the effort to choose a candidate wisely. Because if they cant do that why would they spend several nights at the caucus?
It took me less than a minute to find these rules. Anybody who thinks that only party insiders and back room deals by the GOPe are what is happening in Colorado have not put in the most basic of research. If they had they would know how easy it is to vote in Colorados caucus.
He just has to break 20% in select congressional district to pick up some delegates.
Trump will get 50% or more in NY, and 60% is not out of the question.
Nice... I will come to you for more translations ..they don’t usually make much sense
Cruz will break wind in New York, and already has.
Mandy's mad about Daddy's Dutch Oven...
Most of the delegates cruz is getting may have gone to someone else like Rubio, Carson, etc. ...the important thing to remember is that the Majority of votes HAVE NOT gone to Trump. Not even close.
Excellent post ..
