Winning!!

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 Trump runs for third party, there are many states in the union, and he might be able to siphon off enough votes to get him close to spoil the election and actually play the Theodore Roosevelt which ended in Woodrow Wilson. Teddy Roosevelt pulled 70 delegates and gave them to Taft, Roosevelt said they stole election, then ran 3rd party, but it didn’t work and the election went to Woodrow Wilson.
Difference this time, is there are party laws in place that if you ran as Republican, you cannot pull out and run as a 3rd party. Trying to correct what happened with Roosevelt/Wilson. There are many states where Trump will not be able to get on the ballot, as 3rd party candidate, it would have to be a write in ballot, and that won’t work.
“Excuse me.”
“Excuse me.”
The irony and hypocrisy of the Trump supporters is palpable.
“Believe me, it’ll be very big. I am a very rich man. Big. Believe me. You’ll like it, polls show that people like it. Very, Very, Very big. Believe me. Big. You’ll see.”
You expect me to believe any of those links provide actual proof?
Speculation, assumption, and loads of biased conjecture does not make it proof.
Nice try though...
Lying Ted supported taking that away in Chicago last month. This guy is the ultimate scumbag politician.
When Ashley Madison was hacked some subscriber data was posted online. Here is data posted August 2015, well before recent controversy.
it includes cruz.senate.gov
Here's the bottom line. When a man is accused of infidelity, but it can't be proven -or disproven- there will always be a cloud over his head. It'll never go away. It's like an arrest record -it's gonna stick with him for life. And as the slogan goes, "You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride". Even though there is no factual evidence yet, that's irrelevant to what I'm pointing out. Cruz will always have a cloud, a stigma ...hanging over his head now. We all have to wonder how many votes Cruz cost himself -in any future election- because he might have been diddlin' ...eight different women.
Additionally, for an entire week, this story was in the news. On all the networks and all the cable stations -it was talked about and discussed all over the country. It stuck. These allegations, true or not...have painted Cruz as a cheater. And he'll never be able to get that outa folks minds. And to boot -there were eight women- eight different women that he might have been diddlin'. He's done. Cruz will carry this cheatin' stigma on his forehead -for life.
And btw Lucky9, if your guy Cruz miraculously winds up on the ballot against Hillary on Nov 8th, I'll guarantee that in the first debate Hillary will quiz Ted about all those women he was diddlin'. Cruz will cringe and fall all over himself running off the stage heading for the bathroom, slam the door shut and lock himself inside.
Blah blah blah....nope
That doesn’t prove squat. You are SO reaching....it’s really pathetic.
...next
Whoever wins the nomination this way will be a pyrrhic victory, which will alienate huge swash of voters.
Guess the establishment don’t mind at all about the election outcome, they still get to BE the establishment. And their hanger-ons.
Juvenile, but we’ve come to expect nothing less from the little cruzette cheerleaders.
You guys were SO against the GOPe and their dirty tricks.
Recall being angry at McConnell? He’s in bed with your Teddy now.
How about Hatch? He’s a new bestie.
Club for Growth? You surely are against amnesty, right??
But hey, as long as the spiteful Teddy can ‘play the game’ he’s ‘winning’ ala Charlie Sheen.
No honor with Teddy
No integrity with Teddy
Cruz = amnesty
Cruz = Charlie Sheen ‘winnnnning’ - such a little liar it’s sad to watch and witness
Time for WE THE PEOPLE to ‘pull it out’ - or shall we just burn the constitution once and for all?
Cruz = amnesty
These cruzettes are trolls.
You can’t talk logic with any of them. Either they are die hard establishment hacks, so the GOPe taking Cruz under their wing doesn’t bother them at all, or, they are simple trolls, sent to create chaos.
Or - they are simpletons who have some weird love thing going on with their savior Teddy and can’t see straight.
Cruz = amnesty
That’s rich beanie - you are here day and night!
How about Ted win the old fashioned way, get people to believe him first off and then get those people to vote for him!
Cruz = amnesty
We’re in the matrix aren’t we?!
Where losing means winning? Who are these freaks??
My new meme for teddy is charlie sheen and his infamous ‘winning’ :) Fits for the loser he’s proving himself to be, on every level but most importantly as a decent human being.
How the he** does he believe this will work? That millions will suddenly vote for him after playing the deceiver of the rules? What is he smoking??
I vote and I want the delegate to represent my vote. I DO NOT WANT PAUL RYAN TO BE THE NOMINEE.
WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME IS THAT THE UNIPARTY WILL ALWAYS WIN.
EFF YOU!
The nastycruzers who are in favor of this are working to elect the Uniparty's REAL choice - Hillary Clinton.
That's why sickoflibs is trying to throw sand in your eyes, Velvet:

This is cover for when the Uniparty's Grand Plan comes to pass...
>>Never has a political party put so much energy and thought into their own self-destruction.
Yes. Never has a political party showed their TRUE intent: “Uniparty all the way, baby!”
