Cruz snaring Trump's Arizona delegates
Washington Examiner ^ | 04/04/16 | David M. Drucker

Posted on 04/04/2016 5:45:02 AM PDT by Enlightened1

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.

I simply do not believe Cruz would deport a soul, nor do I believe he has the intent to stop more from pouring in.

Nothing more to discuss, or really to say....

“If they succeed at this, many will come to the conclusion that it’s time to destroy the party.”

I concluded that a few years ago!

I say the Free Republic Party!

RE:”Of the two candidates I only see Trump supporters here saying they will support Hillary, obviously their second choice, if Trump loses the nomination.

Now, that's just a complete and utter lie, sickoflibs.”

That's a Trump tactic . Call liar when you are wrong.

I’m just going to write Trump in but Romney and the Cruzer supporters started the “Hillary if not my guy” meme so you can’t blame others for following suit.
Ted is impossible for over 70% of Primary voters to stomach. If he wins then half the party will stay home, Write in Trump, or go 3rd party.
Lying Ted would make Romney look like one hell of a candidate once it’s all said and done.

Given that Trump and the Clintons are such close friends, and all those suspicious Dem crossover voters voting for Trump in GOP primary (probably really Hillary supporters), Trump supporters jumping back to Hillary if he loses is fully expected.

I dont want Hillary supporters picking the GOP nominee anyway.

They don’t care about the GOP nominee, they’ll be picking a president.
Wow, you are playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess.

Ted took $5000.00 from Donny.
Offered to give it back during one of the debates.
Don-Don told him to keep it.

Hmmmm..... Cruz = $5000.00 Clinton = $100,000.00

Nothing wrong with this picture...we are in control...move along...do not touch your television...we control the vertical and the horizontal ....

Please add more to the slander and libel.

It will increase the settlement.

Trumpman has his DNA all over the falsehood. Therefore he may have to pay a pretty price.

Heh.

you tell me , but I know he gave to Cruz and cruz took the money .
He played and bought elected official off and he bought cruz.
Just like cruz is being supported by a homosexual activist and them tell us he is for marriage.
Seems teddy boy likes to be a whore./
