There is no chance that Trump was unaware of what Cruz has been doing in Louisiana and Arizona. Roger Stone says he hasn't been talking with the Trump campaign but I don't believe it for a minute. Stone used to be a partner of Manafort and is keenly aware of how these arcane state rules can be used to steal delegates. And I imagine the Manafort hire has been planned for quite a while.
The question for me is what did Stone and Trump hope to gain by letting the Cruz campaign get its hopes up about LA and AZ.
And what did Stone and Trump hope to gain by appearing dumb to the RNC (because that is exactly what they did by appearing to be unaware of the fine print in delegate count rules in LA and AZ).
I don’t know anything about Roger Stone, other than he wrote two books that I have recently read: “War on Women” and “Jeb (!) and the Bush Crime Family”...
I did hear he used to be Trump’s ear, but I don’t think he is anymore...
I just think it’s funny that the only way Cruz can win is to steal delegates from Trump, a Bush and Clinton trick, and they aren’t even hiding it anymore...
But my vote is for Trump, and if others don’t see it that way, their vote, but this Country won’t change for the better if we elect another GOPe RINO base idiot...

It must be the return of GWB style strategery.
It’s the way republicans have won the last 2 presidential elections, addition by subtraction.
