Senator Cruz is the quintessential political climber, seen by all at the moment his luggage landed in
a federal office, where overnight he whipped out his all too ready campaign for the upgrade to White House lodging, much sooner than later.
What he did to Trump delegates at the state level was the plan of action for the national convention.
Smash mouth delegate stealing, trading and stacking against Trump delegates.
It’s not illegal to play hard ball, but evidence that your county Chairman and county executive committees can be machinery if you’re not inside it, to the point in my experience you had to hide your Trump support to even hope to get elected as a delegate to your state convention.
I remember my first thinking that Trump was a miracle to have emerged as the Republican nominee from that National Convention, knowing so many Trump delegates were actually Cruz agents.
On the first ballot delegates had to vote their pledge to candidate Trump and to candidate Cruz. But in tight outcomes, second ballots and can be taken, wherein delegates can drop their pledge to Trump and throw their vote to the other candidate. It was a nail biting feeling watching that convention. A miracle outcome, I thought. God’s four year reprieve for the USA.
