Gee, what you can’t win outright, just steal!
Typical GOPe behavior. The ends justify their means.
The RNC is planning an “open and transparent process” (if there is an open convention).
Gee, they sound like ... Obama.
Stealing, cheating and lying seems to be Cruz’s values.
Has he ever won legitmely or has this been his character all his life?
This is common practice. Reince P. explained that to Trump in their meeting last week and told him that it was each candidate’s responsibility to campaign for the delegates of each State.
All the BS from FReepers about Cruz “stealing” delegates is evidence of not knowing the rules.
This isn’t something new. It has been going on in one form or another nearly as long as the party has existed. If Trump’s team is failing at securing unbound delegates etc, then he needs to fire someone and find someone better suited to this part of the process.
The fight for delegates is an important one, doubly so if you can’t secure a majority before the convention. You need a team capable of handling these things if you want to win. If it goes to a fight at the convention, you don’t want to be a William Seward.
Well one thing is for sure if Cruz steals the nomination from Trump, Trump voters will not vote Cruz in nov. Trump voters standing home or going third party is fine with the uniparty. Only Trump scares the uniparty. The uniparty is fine with Hillary and the uniparty is fine with Cruz.
Cruz iz a creep. Even though he thinks he is stealing them they aren’t bound to him either. He and the party organizations can say whatever but they arent pledged to Cruz and anything can happen.
Here’s something for all the ones who claim this is “stealing” or “cheating” to consider:
What if your guy (presumably Trump) were going in to the convention with only 700-800 delegates and Cruz was the one going in with say 1100. Neither obviously has the majority but Cruz has the plurality in this hypothetical.
Would you STILL be saying, “whoever gets the most votes should win”?
NO YOU WOULDN’T, SO DON’T LIE AND SAY YOU WOULD!
It’s the one who has the “majority” of the delegates is the one who rightfully earns the nomination. Not the plurality. Learn the difference between “plurality” (which is simply the most number of delegates) and the “majority” (which is 50%+1 of the delegates).
When you can’t win on your own there is always dirty trix. Dirty Teddy just what we need in the Whitehouse.
