There is a lot to like about Trump, not the least of which is that most liberals hate him. But Trump is shooting himself in the foot with his constant attacks on potential allies, his blind unwillingness to use the system to gain delegates, and his incessant lies (http://www.dailywire.com/news/4834/trumps-101-lies-hank-berrien).

Trumpsters just ignore the reality and wonder why he loses to Hillary by ten points in almost every poll. Isn't it obvious? Trump pulls 20% of Democrats to his camp but loses 30% of Republicans.

UnSkewed GOP Delegate Count Reveals Ted Cruz Lead

I'm surprised that the UnSkewed Polling experts have time for anything other than President Romney's re-election campaign.

Uncommitted delegates in the GOPe are just like Super Delegates in the Democrap party. And of course Ted will get all of them. Cruz GOPe darling.

The race for the nomination is far from over.

Delegates that don't represent the will of the voters would lead to interesting times in Cleveland this summer.

Smartest thing the GOP elite could do to save themselves is embrace Trump. Dems and non-affilitated voters are going to be mad as *ell about the unfairness of their system. Crossover votes might save the Republican Party. Denying Trump means the Party is OVER.

The prevailing wisdom now is for a candidate that can’t win in the first ballot. My, my. How encouraging. One would think ideology, getting the message across and appealing to Republican voters of all flavors would take precedence rather than delegate maneuvering. How’s that gonna work out in the general election if Ted succeeds?

I’ve almost wished this were not public because it’s been rather evident the trumpsters don’t understand the delegates process.

It really won’t be hard for Cruz to have more delegates than trump on the first ballot.

It will be downhill from there for trump.

Chambers? Hard to take him seriously when it comes to numbers. He had Romney willing by 20 electoral votes or so right before the 2012 election.

BS. Arizona was a winner take all. Does not require 50%, only the plurality of the votes. This is garbage.

Funny thing, Trump has exposed that 30% republicans are in fact liberals. They are hook on corruption, bottom up and top down...

Here is another bit to chew on.

Trump may wib wa state primaries giving him an.additional required block for the first round. But all those delegates who are obligated to trump on round 1 are released.on.round 2.

Trump.people did not show up here to be delegates from.their counties to the state convention. So we are likely to ship Cruz supporters to national.

Watch WA delegates flip from required Trump on round.one to fully Cruz on round 2.

Ground game counts and.Trump already lost WA for.round 2 voting.

Ted Cruz is a fringe candidate, as the general population gets to know him, he will be as welcomed as he is in New York.

Didn’t know that BS could pile this night but I guess I forgot the common core math class.
BTW, without any more consideration of this drivel how will Ted win without Florida?
He isn’t loved here by any demographic but I also have noted no one mentions Ted stealing any of Florida’s delegates, for good reason...

Additionally, it is reported from Republicans in Arizona that the state’s 58 delegates will actually be evenly split between the candidates, causing 29 delegates to move from Trump to Cruz.

I hope this is not true, at least for the first round of Convention balloting. Arizona is explicitly "winner take all". To split the delegates otherwise would be corrupt. I have no problem with Cruz gaming the system when he uses the rules to his advantage, but anything other than all the Arizona delegates being bound to vote for Trump would be a clear violation of those rules.

Additionally, under Rule 16 for the GOP Convention, bound delegates slated for Trump are required to vote Trump in the first round of balloting if Trump's name is placed in nomination. I hope this was written by a liberal trying to sow division in the GOP - he's succeeding - and not by someone who thinks violating the rules is okay.
