From the article: "In an unprecedented move, Marco Rubio has asked party leaders of 21 states and territories not to release the 172 delegates the Republican won during his now-defunct presidential campaign."
So, is Manafort talking with Rubio about VP?
Rubio has 171 according to two sites.
I always thought this would be the ultimate checkmate smacking down Cruz, the media and the establishment.
We can only speculate what the “punch in the face” for Cruz will be. Therefore, I will speculate. 1. No one can receive votes unless they are nominated. 2, To be nominated ,one must have the majority of 8 states delegates. 3. Trump has them, Cruz doesn’t. 4. A delegate cannot vote if they are bound legally to non nominated candidate. 5 Trump is the only eligible candidate. 7.There are 500 bound delegates that can’t vote ( including cruz’s) 7. Trump need 50%= one of eligible delegates that can vote.8. Trump wins nomination with only 987 votes ( not 1237) following his exclusive nomination. No one else can be placed in nomination.
Now, that is a punch in the face, not just for Cruz but for the GOPe. Go Trump!!
It won’t be long before a deminished Rafael Cruz will be back in
the Senate shutting down the govt every 6 months or so.
Rafael is a political dead ender. He will find that out soon enough.
No candidate can transfer his delegates to another. He can release them and ask that they support someone else but, once released, they are free agents.
Google form I 72
Notice the Interstate sign I 72. Its not a number
I 72 is a US immigration form. Used for work visa or passport etc.
Lots of material and comments on that search that needs investigation (one speaks of birthcertificate/passport)
How would it apply to the sCruz clan ?

California has 172 delegates. But that’s not until June 7.
I have always believed the best team would be Trump/Rubio. Trump is a negotiator. ...something is happening behind the scenes because Trump is in this to win it! If winning means, working out a deal with Rubio, I’m cool with that. I’m still thinking there was more to the RNC meeting in DC with Reince than we were told.
California has 172 delegates.
I will just add this to the discussion but there are three possibilities for what the 172 plan could be. The first two were mentioned.
Rubio, and the April 26th primaries being those two.
I will just show the third, which is CA, which has exactly 172 delegates.
I could live with a Rubio VP far more than the others. He got sucked into the Gang of Eight thinking it would boost his career, typical politician. But I do think he’s young enough to study under Trump and come away a far better conservative than Cruz. And Kasich is pure communist, should run with Bernie.
The fact that the Colorado insiders rigged the vote and bragged about it on twitter.
Cruz and the GOP need a good kick in the teeth!
Could be Rubio, but remember that this week KasichK campaign apparently worked with Trump campaign to oust Cruz in Michigan.
Folks get all wrapped up in words like ‘stealing delegates’ when its just the way politics is played. Who makes the best deal or organizes best wins.
If Cruz goes down, now he takes the backstabbing insider elite with him....YEE - HAH !!!
I’ve read most of the posts and how could Rubio, the darling of the GOPe be talking with DT if the GOPe are said to be turning to Cruz?
This is so useless.
