Yeah, I posted on that thread yesterday that if those ND delegates were conservatives, Cruz would likely end up with more than Trump.

It’s like buying beers for the team after every game and then having them vote you the “Fan of the Year”.

What’s important is that the proles had no say in the process. They always screw things up. /s

that's practically his home territory

Not to mention that Christie joined Trump's team and it IS his home territory. If Trump can't get two or more more to sign up by tomorrow he'll be assured of losing NJ to the anti-Trumps before a vote is cast, due to his own incompetence.

It’s not even that. They have yet to write the rules.
And according to this they write rules to support the nominee they want.

http://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2016-03-25/the-first-rule-of-the-republican-national-convention-there-arent-any-rules-yet

So no rules going into this and they can choose whomever they want and probably will, dumping Trump for sure and probably Cruz too.

What I have to ask is why anyone would enter this corrupt system to begin with, and who missed out on understanding it better from day one?
Of course it is a private group and they can do whatever they want.
Trump at least should have run independent initially since it was his own money. Now he no longer has that option.

And we will probably get Hillary.
Not sure my husband and I will ever bother voting again.
Possibly libertarian...

I am so sick of the elitist party doing their corruption and yet I thought after reading [posts on here that others were too, instead I see those same people cheering this on, wanting this, or even making excuses for this .

sickening.

my thoughts too.

We vote in our state to send our delegates to represent us and yet now they are under orders form the establishment to ignore us voters and some seem great about it.

Oh bloody except the DC political class picked all 25 of these unbound delegates. No reason to ask the voters for their opinion

It's not cheating when you bluff successfully in poker, and it's not cheating when you win a caucus by getting more supporters there than the other candidates get.

Except that it's a rigged game...The people who choose the delegates are tentacles of the RNC...There is no such thing as We The People in North Dakota...

Cruz is loved by the establishment. Trump is loved by the American people voting. I’d rather trumps chances.

Trump is so unpopular that his preferred delegates had to hide who they were supporting, because they knew no one would vote for them.

Who is voting?

You know why they are right?

They’re either connected to the GOPe, or they don’t grasp what is going on.

And either way, they know better than to listen to us.

LOL

They’re not Cruz delegates, they’re anti-Trump delegates.

Cruz is just a speed bump for these people.

Well NJ is a WTA state that looks to be compelled to vote for Trump when he gets his 1,237 and some more.

51 total delegates - 10 base at-large / 36 re: 12 congressional districts / 3 party / 2 bonus

Christie seems to be keeping his enthusiasm for Trump under control. I don't think he likes being a sidekick.

Remember, character matters.
If he can’t win on the campaign trail with voters, his next move is to steal and lie.

The sneaky stealing and lying doesn’t change, just the target.

This is no Christian.

Trumpspeak for sneaky cheating and lying is defined as
Knowing the GOP State rules for delegate selection and following them.

You might be interested to know when Trump was talking to Reince Priebus about LA delegates “being stolen” Reince told Trump it was his campaigns job to know the rules for delegate selection. Trump then turned to his campaign people and told them they were not doing a good job.
