And Ted will get crushed in the primary today making the activists look like fools.
There are two possibilities here. The lesser possibility is that Cruz is trying to steal the nomination from Trump. The more likely possibility is that Cruz is positioning himself as Plan B if somehow Trump does not obtain the nomination, simply as a contingency. In that case, he is doing the Trump-ers a favor, because if something does happen to Trump so that he doesn’t get the nomination, Cruz is a much better Plan B than Romney, Ryan, Kasich, or any other GOPe member who has bowed before the Altar of Obama.
That is how Ted and the GOPe work. However the delegates are required to vote for the winner on the first ballot.
A bunch of Lucifer’s minions acting like the moronic children they are pulled a juvenile stunt nothing to see here folks. They will all be forced to vote for Trump on the first ballot and there will be no second ballot.
Maybe Ted Cruz really is a Double-Agent and working to get Hillary elected.
I guarantee you if Ted Cruz is the Nominee, Hillary and the DNC will directly question his Citizenship qualifications in a COURT, The Court will Disqualify him , Arrest and charge him with Fraud, and make a deal with Canada to Deport him afterwards. This has always been Hillary’s ace in the hole, which is why the Media pushed Cruz so hard over Trump.
Whatever Ted. It’s over man. You and your delusional followers need to go home.
The Washington Republican party is made up of a majority that are cowed and co-opted by the Green-Gay nature of the majority of the population in the state as a whole (It’s totally a Bernie state). Makes for a rather whipped and Stockholm Syndrome-d Republican Party (except for those from the eastern half of the state)...not too different I guess from the national Republican Party. They become elitist low-calorie socialists.
It doesn’t matter, Trump will win the vote of the people easily today and carry the Independents. And all those #NeverTrump Cruzies are going to be voting for Trump on the first ballot (delicious irony) and helping him along to his 1,400 or so first ballot votes.
Let’s see what happens at the end of the day.
Activist work and support their candidate. Cruz has a better grassroots organization in place.
Trump has not tried to organize to the lower levels in each state. That said Trump will have the
delegates needed to win on the first ballot at the convention. Thus Cruz can have his convention
speech and presence but the final show will be Trump.
Cruz needs to stand down. This continued BS from him and his supporters is beyond upsetting. Lyn’ Cruz needs to quit, be gone.
“dirty tricks” means “too stupid to understand the caucus system”.
I truly despise this rotten MFer
I voted for Ted Cruz...
But this Shi’ite has to stop.
I don’t know if he’s aiming to find a work around for pledged delegates, or exactly what his plan is, but its over. Trump is the nominee.

Washington state GOP convention backs Cruz over Trump 98 replies
I’ve said this many times, and I’ll keep saying it: It’s Trump’s job to fight for good, loyal delegates. The fact that Cruz can do this proves that Trump is not doing his job. Note: I voted for Trump.
If the Trump people are not going to work to get the best possible delegates, I’d rather have Cruz choosing them than the establishment. I know it’s not a popular opinion, but what Cruz is doing is the best possible thing he could do for Trump, given the weaknesses of the Trump campaign outside of winning at the ballot box. I hope Cruz will continue doing this to ensure that the convention has as few establishment delegates as possible.
As a side note, I also hope that these Cruz delegates will push for good convention rules and hold the Rules Committee accountable for sending the right rules to the convention. Then I also hope that, no more than an hour before the first ballot, Cruz will announce that he is not putting his name up for nomination and wants his delegates to vote Trump.
[Under the rules from previous conventions, if Cruz frees his delegates more than an hour before the vote, they can vote for an establishment candidate if delegates from eight or more Cruz states agree on one candidate; if he frees them in the final hour, they can only vote for Trump because he is the only one other than Cruz who could meet the criteria for nomination.]
Ted can’t win, but he can win enough delegates to strongly influence the party platform. Given that he is quite conservative, that is probably a good thing.
