So even though Cruz had his @ss handed to him in Florida he is now stealing the Delegates.
Because the loser of the State can steal the Delegates from the winner. After all that’s the American way right?
Wow. This is really turning out badly.
Tuesday 15 March 2016 Primary: All 99 of Florida’s delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated in today’s Florida Presidential Primary. [Republican Party of Florida Rule 10 B. and D]
The Republican presidential candidate receiving the highest number of statewide votes at the Florida Presidential Preference Primary shall be awarded all delegates (including the 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Florida’s Republican Party) to the Republican National Convention.
National Convention Delegates are bound through the 3rd ballot
unless the candidate withdraws or releases his/her delegates. “The Chairman ... shall be bound to ... cast all Delegate at Large votes ... during the first three convention ballots .... If the candidate... releases the delegates or withdraws his or her candidacy, then said delegate votes will not be bound to any candidate. [Republican Party of Florida Rule 10 B.]
A “stay at home” is a vote the gopE doesn’t get. A vote for a democrat hits the gopE twice.
I will not vote for ANY republican. The “good ones”, rare that they are, should leave the rino party and show some principle.
“If, in the end, Trump goes down because of all this cheating, well then I’m going with him. I expect the same from all Trump supporters.”
I with you. If they pull this crap to prevent Trump from being the candidate, he has every right to go third party. I am sick to death of these two power hungry parties that don’t give a d@mn about us or the country. They are driven by personal greed for themselves and ‘the party’. They keep calling Trump a nationalist so I’m ready for the ‘Nationalist Party’.
LOLOLOLOL.
I love the UPS Drivers!
I’ll be sure they see my TRUMP signs!
Trump could easily get his 43-45% and WIN going 3rd Party,
PROVIDED he could get on all ballots in every state including the territories!
After the crap that got pulled in Colorado, I think the GOP and Cruz are toast. They gave a BIG FAT MIDDLE FINGER to voters. In a ranking of church attendance by state Colorado is 35th on the list. So the GOP is saying that a Dominion Theologian is who they would pick? Sorry, not buying it. I can’t see the anger not erupting. This maneuver by Crus sure does reek of Dominionism.
Burn the GOP down at this point IMO, corruption everywhere.
Guess it IS time to move to Canada.
I fully intend to write in Trump regardless of who they select. But down ticket will suffer.
Trump better get his ass in gear and address this.
Dear mercy
She understood perfectly and you know it, Cruz .
I pray for him and his family every day!!!!
And none of the Cruz supporters are asking who the delegates that are being "lured" to Cruz's side are really loyal to.....
Onyx, if he’s cheated out of it.....
......we’re ALL done
OUr nation is done!
Amen.
Now it’s making more sense why, on Judge Jeanine’s show the other night, that RNC Comm Director (April someone ?) just kept repeating (when questioned about the GOP delegate process), “It’s purely grass roots. All delegates are chosen at a grass roots level”. I commented, at the time, how she would not wipe that smirk off of her face, while repeating this pat answer.
Yeah, sure. Until they’re shut out at the grass roots or state level.
I found it odd that in my very own precinct/district they changed the long standing rule of holding the delegate caucus from being held immediately following the polls closing, to some odd future date. Finding information about when/where this caucus meeting would be, was like pulling teeth.
