MEET SOUTH CAROLINA'S ANTI-TRUMP DOUBLE AGENTS
POLITICO ^ | 3/26/16 | Kyle Cheney and Katie Glueck

Posted on 03/26/2016 10:11:45 AM PDT by windhover

"Donald Trump triumphed in South Carolina's primary last month. Now, the state could be ground zero for his undoing."

"Ted Cruz and John Kasich are aggressively mobilizing allies to recruit and elect their own South Carolina loyalists to the national Republican --scheduled for late July in Cleveland."

"All 50 of South Carolina's delegates are duty-bound to support Trump on a first vote, but interviews with two dozen prospective delegates and Party insiders, including several Trump backers-- reveal a widespread belief that Cruz and Kasich will succeed in wresting the delegation away from Trump if the nomination fight heads to a second ballot. If Trump is unable to claim the nomination immediately, South Carolina could help tip the scales away from the New York billionaire."

As you see all to clearly, the Primary Election is only the start. It is nearly always this way; so it is always necessary to have a strong follow-on game to secure the delegates you have, and work hard as you can to recruite new delegates to fill any openings. Trump is being ill served by his own ground people, if this is generally happening on the grass roots level. If your cant be a delegate, try to find these who will in your County and State.

If your new at this,remember that the Primary Election is only the beginning of the process. Blogging may be easy and cathartic, but to actually win takes hard work,organizing,and networking with your friends and neighbors down in the grass roots where true political power begins. This is the way it was originally designed to be; but only you can make it work. BE ENCOURAGED.IV'E FOUND THAT IF I/YOU ARE WILLING, SO ARE OTHERS.

Cruz and Kasich are both working hard to negate the vote. Scrambling for delegates who will betray who they were assigned for. Tells me all I need to know.

There is something seriously amiss in SC. Look at their Senators and Congressmen, they are almost all Cheap Labor Express stooges.

It seems that Stalin was right, “It’s not the people who vote that count, its the people who count the votes.” Obviously Saints Ted and John consider the votes of citizens to be raw material for manipulation.

It would be political malpractice to be doing anything else. If you’re still in the race, you use whatever levers are at hand.

If Cruz does not get enough votes, and Trump does, Trump gets the nomination...

...and I am a AVID CRUZ supporter...

Any manipulation by ANY other candidate will cause a total rebellion. That of course, is if Trump wins fair and square....no cheating on HIS END....

We MUST not tamper with the process or America will lose the election...AMERICA will LOSE!

Cruz is done for so these Anti-Trump people can go jump in the lake. Lying Ted can’t survive this no matter how Rush and Levin and Stabby The Clown try mouth to mouth. The CUBAN MISTRESS CRISIS will be fatal to the phony Cruz.

The media sure fears Trump and they sure don’t fear the losers Cruz and Kasich.

IF the GOP elite steals the nom from the base at the convention the party deserves to die. It’s that simple.

I disagree. IF those ballots were cast for Trump they are Trumps. If those ballots were cast for Cruz they are Cruz's. If those ballots were cast for Kasich they are Kasich's. You don't go in AFTER the count and change the will of the people....

Is it because the American people don’t understand “cheap labor express” or “stooges”?

Up until this election cycle I’ve never pais much attention to the entire election process, specifically the delegates. All I can say is that the whole thing is complete equine excrement! Bunch of dam smoke and mirrors. Make your voice heard, VOTE!
Don’t like something VOTE!
Bull$hit!!!
