Trump team alleges delegate stealing plot in Tennessee
The Washington Examiner ^ | 4/2/2016 | CURT MILLS

Posted on 04/02/2016 9:50:05 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Donald Trump's operation in Tennessee says the Republican Party is trying to "steal" the state's primary election after Trump won it.

On Super Tuesday, March 1, Trump won Tennessee, with 38.9 percent of voters to the 24.7 percent for Sen. Ted Cruz. The results won Trump 33 delegates. Cruz received 16 delegates.

But Trump's team argues that the Tennessee Republican Party is interfering with the selection process of the delegates, the Tennessean reports.

"They're picking anti-Trump people," Darren Morris, Trump's Tennessee state director said.

That was sure a reasoned reply taketheredpill. When you don’t have an answer just call people a name. Most of you Trump guys are just that way. But thank you so much for your intelligent response.

Hi CottonBall!

He is trying to steal delegates in North Dakota too!!!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-chaotic-gop-race-an-intense-battle-for-delegates-plays-out-under-the-radar/2016/04/02/2c00a118-f812-11e5-8b23-538270a1ca31_story.html

Goes over what cRuz supporters are doing in ND...to get delegates.

Is this what Cruz did in Louisiana to cheat Trump out of Delegates?

This article explains the plan, out in the open. :(

ND is where that GOPe rules guy said vote does not matter, party picks the nominee...

Wa wa wa. The political party system of whatever flavor you choose is corrupt. So Trump should have known this before he starts complaining. The major party nomination process is all about delegates, not votes. Votes count only in the general election...mostly, and then only to apportion the electoral votes. He needs to learn to play the system like everyone else. Whining won’t change that system.

Romney won easily because the others dropped out when they were mathematically eliminated. That's how it used to work. Now the #1 objective of the GOPe is to stop Trump. Kasich is staying in so Trump won't get the Ohio delegates which go to the 2nd place finisher by law. Cruz will stay in to after he cannot get a majority. This is ridiculous!

There was a quote in a Tennessee paper that 9 or 10 people showed up to protest. One was a Cruz supporter. Not exactly going to intimidate anyone to change the process.

Why would you say that? Do you want a political party with an insider’s circle that lies and cheats and defrauds the members of that party? If not, then why would you resort to a sneering insult about crybabbies and justify what they are doing? Do you like this? Would you like it if your candidate was cheated of his delegates? This is about more than this election, it is about principle, honesty, integrity, and we whether we remain a free people! In this, it does not matter whether or not you support Trump.

What should matter to you, is that an insider circle is attempting to thwart the will of the people rather than acting on their behalf in accordance with their wishes as they were appointed to do! Shouldn’t we all be on the side of any candidate who tries to stop this kind of thing, even if we though we may have chosen another candidate?

Thus, in fact, we should all be the side of Bernie Sanders and his voters against the (Mrs) Clinton machine — although of course none of use would vote for Sanders, or support his positions. The democrat base is waking up to the fact that they too are being cheated of their voice!

And all what you can do is support the corrupt establishment, justify what they are doing, and cry “crybaby?”

What is wrong with your thinking skills this fine spring Saturday. Go make yourself a fresh cup of coffee or ice tea, go outside and sit down, take a deep breath of fresh air and clear your head; your thinking is quite addled!

Why do we even bother to vote! The establishment just picks the candidate for us, anyway. That’s how we got McAmnesty and Romney, I’ll bet $100,000.

Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out and get even more depressed. Luckily it’s the weekend so I can console myself with popcorn and a chick flick.....

this whole primary setup, seeing it for the first time, SUCKS!

for any side. It makes no sense!!

why not just add up the popular vote?

or assign electoral votes like the generals.

what’s with all the theatrics.

So Trump wasn't READY to run for President in that he did NOT educate himself about the primary/delegate rules....and it's looking like he hired campaign people that knew nothing, either.

And who does Trump sound like when he whines, about his own short comings, by blaming other people?

Barack Hussein Obama

“Mommy, they’re trying to take my delegates!! waaaaaaa!”

Exactly. As of yet, I haven't found a single article that says anything has happened to Trump "outside" of the normal primary process.

What could more destructive than purposely losing elections and leaving half the country without representation?
That IS the role the Republican party has been playing for a long time.

It's weird that so many people can't see that, or refuse to believe it...The GOP has no intention of winning the general election...One could easily see that with Romney and McCain...And now with their temporary support of Cruz...And Cruz is in on it...
