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.

BS...It has nothing to do with the rules...Your little club has it set up that no one but a deep insider will get the nomination...You and your group are an insult to the term 'a Free Republic'....We as a majority obviously are not free to elect who we want as a President...
And if not true.
After a few years of litigation...do you think Heidi and Ted will let Donny keep his headquarters in CRUZ TOWER?
Just a thought.
Jedi.
I disagree
It is not the job of Trump to file multiple eligibility (and ethics and other nuisance) lawsuits vs Cruz, it is the responsibility of the RNC to vet Cruz and innoculate him from what the democrats plan to do
doubtful they intend to
Look how many of them even voiced open support for Teds character after the adultery story was released
All they did was attack “Trump” for releasing it, the colleagues didn’t stand up for Ted and deny that such a fine upstanding guy could ever be guilty.
Not one US Senator or party official spoke out
I hear ya!
Time for Donald to pull out the “kill the gays” pastor
What "majority"? Trump has not managed to get even a majority of the Republican vote in any contest so far.
You Party hacks have all kinds of stupid excuses...The true analogy is Trumps team wins every game and this loser team comes on the field, picks up the ball and says, 'it's our ball and whoever owns the ball is the winner...So we win, sucker'...
If this is the process, it sucks and is a corrupt system that bears no resemblance whatsoever to the constitutional republic designed by the founders of this country.
Makes me want to puke.
Obviously people voting means not a damned thing now.
Which is why there will be so few of you left...in the end.
The few on the “special buses” and turncoats like Palin and Scott Brown.
Local involvement at the committee level has always been a part of the process.
The Trumpman show is over.
Get a hold of yourselves and buck up.
It is time to choose.

I'm not trying to prove anything. I don't need to. I'm tellin' ya...when ya diddlin' with whores, ya never know what diseases ya might catch.
And doing a quick search I don’t even see one article about an std?
Doesn't need to be any article...that cloud will forever more be hangin' over Ted. He'll never get away from it. It's like an arrest record -gonna stick with him for life.
Isn't that something!!! Cruz's platform was to defeat the Washington Cartel and the Cruz FReepers support the Washington Cartel 100%...Along with Cruz...Apparently all the Cruz supporters who opposed Cruz's Washington Cartel switched over to Trump long ago...
But these are the rules at hand.
You go to war with the army you have.
Nobody foresaw an interloper with billions of dollars and a stolen platform to come in and make things more difficult.
It is what it is. And we shall do what needs to be done.
Perhaps you need to cook the Trump steaks properly to avoid puking.
Just sayin,
Jedi.
Regardless, see my #291.
And this proves that Donny the Demonrat Donor is a real conservative that does not have enormous mental problems how?
Psssssssssst....hey.....hey pal....need some delegates?
Heh.
Jedi.
Perhaps they don’t support DC. Perhaps they just see Trump as a much bigger risk then supporting Cruz.
People that state ‘well if you don’t support my guy’ or ‘if you support this guy’ you’re the biggest idiot on the planet - certainly don’t curry favor with those on the fence. They do more harm to their cause then good.
WTF?
A bunch of us haven't had a chance to vote yet, yet Trump and his crybaby followers demand that Cruz just hand Trump the nomination that he hasn't yet earned, to steal our votes.
SHAME ON YOU AND TED!
Democrats are the ones who keep demanding that the popular vote should decide the POTUS elections.
Not surprising since Trump is still a Dem at heart.
