Sen. Ted Cruz is out-hustling Donald Trump and looks set to ensure many Arizona delegates will defect to him in a convention floor fight.
The Texas senator, who ever since Iowa has played a stealthy ground game in contrast to Trump's chaotic populism, is taking steps to snatch the Republican presidential nomination from The Donald at the convention in July.
The New York businessman easily won last month's Arizona primary taking 47 percent to Cruz's 25 percent, scooping up all 58 of the state's delegates. That's nearly 5 percent of the 1,237 Trump needs for the nomination, and they're tied are to him on the first ballot.
But Cruz, exploiting deep opposition to Trump among grassroots Republicans, has been far more active in Arizona than Trump, insiders say. He's recruiting candidates for the available 55 delegate slots, that along with the other three delegate positions filled by party leaders, would be allowed to vote for him in a multi-ballot contested convention.

If Hair Trump is a casualty in that mission...so be it.
He's a liability now. Speaking of libel...I wonder if Heidi and Ted will let Donny keep his HQ in CRUZ TOWER in a couple of years.
Heh.
Jedi.
[Should the GOPe (Cruz) steal this nomination from Trump I will be tempted to vote a straight D ticket in Nov. And continue voting a straight D ticket until every last one of them is unelected.]
Wow. You really hate your country, huh?
Funny, all you Trumpees insist anti-Trump voters must vote of Trump if he is the nominee stop Hillary. Hypocrites. Trump is the one who has promised to work with Democrats, not Cruz, btw. Maybe that’s why you so strongly support him over Cruz, since you want to vote a straight Rat ticket anyway.
And Cruz is part of the club
The key to my post is the word “unambiguous”. Not that we’ll ever get there, but since the qualification question involves a national office it must be settled nationally ... not state by state.
A lot of these supporters are developmentally stuck at 13.
This thread is specifically about the Arizona delegates, and Cruz is trying to get by games and maneuvers what he could not get at the ballot box in Arizona.
Thwarting the will of the Arizona voters.
True words
You guys are just silly with all this “will of the people” being a Constitutional concept.
The Founders had an expression about “will of the people”: tyranny of the majority.
In the case of Trump, a tyranny of the plurality. LoL.
That’s why they created a Republic. The party nomination process is quite similar to the electoral college.
When it comes to the Presidency, thwarting the “will of the voter” is the intent of the process. It always has been. Just ask President Gore.
Welcome to your Republic. The idea this is a Democracy comes from your 10th grade civics teacher, and he was wrong.
More sneaking around in the shadows by the Cruz team...His supporters may argue he is just playing the game better and it’s legal, but there are many laws on our books that allow big corporations and wall street to get around taxes and screw their employees. ..it doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.
Trump, being new to the political arena and an honest man, probably didn’t see this coming. But at least he’s hired one of the best delegate wranglers for his campaign now. Even he probably didn’t think the system was this corrupt, haha.
To Cruz supoorters, why would you not want your man to win by his own merit and by gaining the people’s support? Do the ends really justify the means? Isnt this the very corruption you fight against?
If Trump was stealing delegates from Cruz, wouldn’t you all be up in arms about it? Seriously, just put yourself in the other persons shoes and think about it...
That will just re-enforce the idea that Trump just ran to get Hillary elected, that all those Dem crossovers voting for Trump are just Hillary supporters.
That they were working together and Trump's supporters are just Hillary supporters or dupes.
I say don't give into terrorists Ted. Keep fighting!
Cruz is not establishment though.
If you liked George W. Bush you'll LOVE @tedCruz - their policies are IDENTICAL #NewWordOrder #GoldmanSachs @EndlessWar
I didn’t set the rules. I’m just using the rules the establishment set to destroy them
If you think you are helping t destroy the GOP then you are at best and I am being polite, naïve t say the least, wake up
As for the immature childish comment about hair.
Good grief how old are you? Do you actually talk like that in person too?
“They are taking away our vote. How long before our speech? “
No. But after the first ballot, delegates tend to be free to vote for anyone. What is wrong with that?
Every state Trump lost he passed the word to his drones to claim it was cheating.
Its standard Trump rhetoric to claim he cant lose then claim all his losses are due to cheating.
Alternatively when he won engaging sleazy tactics, he and his drones said that's all that matters, anything else is sore losers.
Trump cant stand competition. It makes him mad.
Maybe he should have read the rules before running.
Just had another state hair Trump
It is like dealing with children on here some times .
This action telegraphs that Cruz himself knows he can’t win 1,237 delegates.
He damn sure is. He's got all the Bush people, Romney, Lindsey Graham, and the entire DC establishment supporting his efforts to STOP TRUMP FROM GETTING TO 1237, even though CRUZ will NOT "WIN" ENOUGH delegates to get to 1237.
He's OWNED by WALL STREET! For God's sake, read up on CRUZ and don't just hear his 'flowery speeches' about "constitution" and "liberty" ....and blah, blah, blah!!!!
I certainly do hate what you GOPe voters and the rats have done to my country yes. Yall support the R wing of the anti-American globalist uniparty. Just look at the players on team Cruz.
Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Gram, Paul Ryan, Carly Fiorina, Nicky Haley, Mitch McConnell, Golden Sachs, The Club for Growth and the entire globalist GOPe. Every RINO on the planet sans John McCain.
Those are the people you are supporting and those are the people you are voting for. You can have them.
thanks, do you have that link?
So what we are seeing is the establishment being corrupt here and then those establishment hacks and trolls are saying it is the rules , when they know full well the rules change all the time to fit the establishments wishes.
You know I had one cruz voter on here who stated that the GOP has not changed the rules in a 100 years, guess they did not know about rule 40 or 2012 to suit Romney
