Meet Curly Haugland, former chairman of the North Dakota Republican party and current Republican national committeeman. Haugland is one of just 112 delegates who will arrive unbound to this summers Republican convention in Cleveland, free to cast a vote for any candidate he chooses on a first ballot because North Dakota does not hold a primary or caucus. That makes him a particularly valuable asset to the still-dueling presidential campaigns...

Vote Trump.
lol
Send donation only if Heidi Cruz sends her nude autograph picture.
Cruz is done, he is just hasn’t admitted it yet.
In other words, the Trump delegates are party insiders with no loyalty to the voters. They will turn on Trump and support Cruz. That is the theory.
National Review is a nest of twits.
Of course it does Cruz-oids. Nothing to worry your little heads about at all. You’re gullible enough to believe what this politi-vangelist has been preaching so it shouldn’t be too hard to swallow this BS too. Open wide !
DITTO!
Why the National Review Favors Morons
Exactly!
Both Cruz and Kasich ran in the same Presidential race as Trump yet he’s the only one left who can actually win.
The people rejected Cruz and Kasich by denying them the votes to win but they won’t go away because by damn if they can steal it, it will still be theirs.

Didn’t you people get into trouble before with deliberately posting the same articles over and over again, trying to spam the site?
Your post was an excellent read!
If the GOP Establishment steals the nomination....
They won’t steal it for Cruz, despite him being a stealth Establishmentarian globalist.
Actually, I think they are under the impression that the side that posts the most crap articles wins.
I’ve got a good idea. Let’s vote for a guy whose only chance for the nomination is to participate in a RNC (GOPe) Convention and be declared the winner over a man who has run his own campaign to obtain more votes from the populace, and hasn’t sold out to the GOPe.
The premise that Cruz could win that way should prevent folks from voting for him, providing they are sick and tired of the RNC GOPe governing like Democrats.
So go Ted go. AWAY!
Anyone but Trump guarantees a continuation of GOPe business as usual.
GOPe helped sell out American jobs and ship manufacturing jobs out of the country.
Gope is for H1b and illegals, the hell with American STEM professionals, and high school educated and less educated workers for “Cheap Labor Express” Illegal Aliens.
Gope has favored wars so the military defense manufacturing industry could have a steady stream of conflicts to sell our armed services weapons. Most of these wars were protecting other countries interests not ours.
Makes one want to become a Libertarian and address the deficit.
Actually, I think they are under the impression that the side that posts the most crap articles wins
Which is great. An avalanche of BS links probably has about the same effect as $200 million in negative Trump ads.
MAGA!

Allocation – All Democratic primary/caucus delegates are proportionally allocated. Republican primaries/caucuses are listed as Proportional (P), Winner-Take-All (WTA), or Winner-Take-Most (WTM).
Proportional – Delegates are awarded based on the percentage of the vote received by candidates, or some formulation of dividing up the delegates
Winner Take All – All delegates are given to the winner of the contest
Winner Take Most – Some delegates are reserved for the winner, some may be divided proportionally
Unbound – Delegates are not bound to a specific candidate and can support any candidate of their choosing, varies by state party
Type
Open– Voters may vote in either party primary but can choose only one
Closed – Only voters registered in their respective party may vote in the party primary
Mixed – A semi-open or semi-closed environment, unaffiliated voters can choose to vote in either primary or can switch registration the day of voting
Speculation about something that is not going to happen.
IF Trump wins these ‘winner take all’ states outright...
Pennsylvania 26-Apr 71
Delaware 26-Apr 16
Maryland 26-Apr 38
Indiana 3-May 57
New Jersey 7-Jun 51
California 7-Jun 172
Then he would only need to take 93 delegates in total from these states remaining ‘proportional’ states...
West Virginia 10-May 34
Oregon 17-May 28
New Mexico 7-Jun 24
Utah 22-Mar 40
New York 19-Apr 95
Connecticut 26-Apr 28
