Matt Drudge addresses weird activity on his Drudge Poll. At one point I noted 300 votes a minute for Cruz. Drudge confirms "spam" coming in from Delaware, 44 thousand votes in total for Ted Cruz just from that state alone. Did Team Cruz actually pay someone to spam the Drudge poll?:
MATT DRUDGE @DRUDGE 1h1 hour ago The Cruz spam all came from Delaware. Trump clear win in all other states. #drudgepoll
Might be right.
Accounts of Lincoln's Cooper Union speech make note of his odd Western appearance. He apparently overcame his own physical oddities with a forceful speaking style that won over the more "refined" Easterners.
Observer Joseph H. Choate, who wrote a biography of Mr. Lincoln several decades later, noted: "He appeared in every sense of the word like one of the plain people among whom he loved to be counted. At first sight there was nothing impressive or imposing about him; his clothes hung awkwardly on his giant frame; his face was of a dark pallor without the slightest tinge of colour; his seamed and rugged features bore the furrows of hardship and struggle; his deep-set eyes looked sad and anxious; his countenance in repose gave little evidence of the brilliant power which raised him from the lowest to the highest station among his countrymen; as he talked to me before the meeting he seemed ill at ease."
Choate observed; "When he spoke, he was transformed; his eye kindled, his voice rang, his face shone and seemed to light up the whole assembly. For an hour and a half he held his audience in the hollow of his hand. His style of speech and manner of deliver were severely simple. What Lowell called 'The grand simplicities of the Bible,' with which he was so familiar, were reflected in his discourse....It was marvelous to see how this untutored man, by mere self-discipline and the chastening of his own spirit, had outgrown all meretricious arts, and found his own way to the grandeur and strength of absolute simplicity."

Curses, foiled again!
We already know Cruz and his supporters are cheaters.
Wasn’t me!!
Wow. That picture tells the story, doesn’t it!
Marco Rubio 24.7%
Ted Cruz 18.3%
I saw last night where Ted Cruz is pulling his ads in Florida. The campaign says that Marco is losing all on his own without Cruz's help. There is truth to that I suppose, but everyone knows Cruz was competing to claim the coveted Silver Medal, and his little tug boat couldn't overcome a very weak Rubio.
Don’t get bent out of shape. Everyone already knows the only way Lying Ted can win anything is if he cheats. The problem is he is not good at it. It started with the Carson rumor in Iowa and has gone through the poll spamming last night. Ted is under a lot of pressure from his banker and big oil donors to win at all costs.
It’s obvious and doesn’t really matter except that now when it’s Cruz people doing it it’s treason!
I see it as Cruz being the hypocrite. Hard to take the moral high ground when you are rolling around the mud.
On this thread we documented the clean-up as it took place. Drudge was eliminating identified votes from certain IP addresses.
THANK YOU!
I was wondering WTH was going on but had to turn in for the night.
That’s alright, vote spam tells me someone is pissed off...
I question even those numbers. Trump got 80% everywhere else.
Rubio and Cruz are both genuine Reagan conservatives, according to Mr. LardButt .
He’s worse than a Democrat...if you don’t like the numbers change how its counted. If an unfair count puts your guy in front, leave it alone. What an f’ing joke he has become.
Those driven by the cult of religious extremism mixed with politics and power grabs will do anything to try and steal an election or manipulate an outcome.
Case in point, the 1984 Rajneeshee attempts in Oregon, a cult with millions of dollars and a dedicated group. This cult was organizing a massive voter fraud movement of cheating and dirty tricks that nearly enabled it to take over an entire county in the State of Oregon.
They first took over Antelope, Oregon, in local elections to win a majority of the city council seats, turning a town of only 100 people into a pivot to try and take over the entire Wasco County in the November election. They initially had 10 percent of the population under hook via fanaticism and dupism, sleazy manipulations and they corrupted polls with spam by followers, zealots all the while willibg to try and cheat their way in by any means.
But 10 to 20 percent would not be enough to win the county despite earlier victories in Antelope and small population areas. So they would try to depress turnout among regular voters by poisoning thousands of residents with Salmonella, thus incapacitating them on Election Day, and they would round up thousands of street people from nearby areas as part of their religious “efforts” and promise them warm breakfast, tea and “church shelter” and then register them to vote. The fanatics would do anything for their religious-political idol who was the “wise genius” and head of the cultists.
They started by poisoning water supplies and salad bars and restaurants with Salmonella poisoning, 751 people became violently ill. Next they plotted to fly and airplane to crash the plane loaded with bombs into the county courthouse. This was long before 911.
This attempt to spam the Drudge Report to help Cruz reminds me of these fanatics who tried to steal an election by any means and any dirty trick. I think it is a sign of further dangers to the public to come.
Interesting.
Delaware.
Goldman Sachs incorporated in Delaware.
I’m guessing his overlords are helping him over the hump.
Dang it!
I hate missing FR real time investigations.
It is cool isn’t it.
Yeah, I found it interesting.
That is the best picture.
