Cruz has to win 34 or more delegates in NY or be mathematically eliminated from getting to 1,237 delegates going into the convention.

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...

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.

You do realize that republicans have about zero chance of winning calirado in the november election. The entire state has been overrun by flaming liberals out of california.

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! :)

It doesn’t favor the voters, Tool Fool(Cruz Voter)

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.

While researching more about Roger Stone, I found this Alex Jones interview of him. Whatever you think about either, if there is any truth to what Stone is saying, I can see why MSNBC and CNN don't want Stone on anymore because they don't want the American people to hear any of this. Apparently Roger Stone has warned long ago this was going to happen and now it is happening.

The steal is on by the GOPe and Cruz, plus much more interesting information:

Actually the people that go to conventions are the Republican base, the most conservative. And these people always vote.

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!”?

So Cruz is going to win a single NY Congressional District?

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.

Guess Lincoln and Eisenhower never got that memo.

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.

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.
