Gee, what you can’t win outright, just steal!
If Trump were doing this you’d all be posting “Brilliant!” memes and high-fiving each other. But he’s not to be bothered with the “rules” and details, is he?
“Gee, what you can’t win outright, just steal!”

Folks, wake up...if Cruz wasn’t getting HIS anti-establishment folks elected as delegates, ALL the delegates would be those selected by the GOPe. The “Cruz delegates” DEFEATED GOPe folks competing to be delegates.
TRUMPSTERS, join the fight to defeat GOPe politicians running to be delegates. QUIT WHINING and begin the HARD WORK of struggling to be delegates—don”the act the victim and allow the GOPe to defeat us.
It’s not “stealing”. If no one reaches 1237 then a second vote (or more) is required. If more votes are required than one had better have 1237 (or more) delegates assured to vote for you or else you’re done. That’s just the way it is and it’s not going to change.
As was pointed out already, if a second vote is required then you can be sure the GOPe is looking for delegates to vote for Ryan (or anyone else other than Cruz or Trump) so quit whining about it and get in the game! At least Cruz is doing something more than even Trump is doing to ensure the GOPe doesn’t win. Trump is just relying on winning more than 1237 delegates. If that strategy doesn’t work though he will have only himself to blame.
Simply get 1237 bound delegates before the convention and all of this is moot! In that case, whomever has that, will be the nominee before the convention even starts. Because there’s no changing that rule.
Stealing, cheating and lying seems to be Cruz’s values.
If you don't understand the rules, you shouldn't be in the game. It has nothing to do with "stealing", it's how the nomination process has worked forever in terms of delegates.
Whine if you want to that Trump was "behind" the game on this, but he's doing the exact same thing now, which is why he hired Paul Manafort. Manafort is an expert....so we'll see if he has time to play "catch up" on something Trump should have been working on since the first primary election.
I am now waiting to see you post that Trump's trying to "steal" the election for doing the same thing........
