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!!!
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.
FYI I’m a CONSTITUTIONALIST, one of those Bitter Bible and Gun Clingers. NOT A dem or gope. Not a Alinskyite commie.
And I will shoot any one who breaks into my home. I’m no mealy mouth commie.
I’m also a Ret Navy SCOPO’s wife, who washed fatigues and diapers in the bathtub when money was tight. And hungry too so my boys could eat, when paychecks didn’t stretch to the end of the month. Held down the fort when he was on cruises in Nam Operation Frequent Wind, and Cuban Missile Crisis.
Trump will get his allocated delegates,mat least on the first ballot. Then all bets are off.
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.
I’d suspect Corker first, he wants to be governor.

Wa wa wa. Play with fire. Get burned. RIP GOP.
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!
Oh really? Why is that?
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.
LOL, no worries. I was wondering what that was all about. It happens.
And who does Trump sound like when he whines, about his own short comings, by blaming other people?
Barack Hussein Obama
Barack Hussein Obama = Rafael Edward Cruz
Thanks Liz...
Exactly. As of yet, I haven't found a single article that says anything has happened to Trump "outside" of the normal primary process.
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...
The GOPe couldn't be successful without the help of you people...
