Donald Trump won the Arizona Republican presidential primary in a landslide, but Ted Cruz's campaign is trying to break the billionaire developer's hold on state delegates in anticipation of a convention fight this summer -- a move the Trump camp has branded "shenanigans and trickery."

He will woo them back. Why not?
Sleazy Cruz.
Doesn’t matter TRump will be the nominee, GoPe hates us but their not suicidal. Got to hold own to those senate and house seats.
But Trump is countering this move. He has recently hired his own Manager of Shenanigans and Trickery to take charge of the delegate selections in the various states.
Cruz did this several months ago and that's why he has Trump on run in the selection of delegates. It's the system that exists, not the system that Trumpsters and Trumpettes think would be "fair".
Sleaze bag. Total sleaze bag.
We can judge a tree by its fruit.
“Typical of team Cruz”
********************************
Yes, the Cruz campaign is fighting the GOPe (and winning) so that anti-GOPe “Cruz” folks win delegate slots INSTEAD OF THOSE SLOTS BEING WON BY COMPETING GOPe “LOYALISTS”. In the absence of the Cruz folks waging this fight, those delegate slots would be filled with people doing the GOPe’s bidding.
The question is “WHY THE HELL ISN’T THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ENGAGED IN THIS FIGHT ALONG WITH THE CRUZ CAMPAIGN?”.
Is whining more comfortable for Trumpsters than engaging in this NECESSARY TRENCH WARFARE WITH THE GOPe? Stop complaining and get busy! Trumpsters, don’t be LOW ENERGY.
He’d better get the 1237 other wise the establishment WILL nominate someone else. That team Cruz is willing to disenfranchise tens of millions of American voters shows his lack of character and his lack of principles.
Mostly the media is stoking division between the two camps.
As for Cruz, he is no longer even campaigning for state popular wins. Cruz is campaigning for delegates and running a SPIN Campaign.
Cruz is working the smoky back rooms, and the Godfathers who run them, to vandalize TRUMP delegates.
In both cases, Cruz is proving a lie, and remains “Lyin Ted”.
To get Cruz off their porch, delegates may well swear allegiance to just about anything, but then they will do as they dang well please.
TRUMP, meanwhile, keeps appealing to the people for their vote, winning fair and square among the people, empowering the people’vote, those who have from state to state made him the easy frontrunner.
You are delusional, Cruz has 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 backing him. Every RINO on the planet sans John McCain backs Cruz.
Trump’s platform: Make America Great Again
Cruz’s platform: Stop Trump
These are Arizona delegates. Not Trump or Cruz delegates. Arizona delegates.
Perfectly ethical and legal to be an Arizona delegate and be a Cruz supporter.
I hate to say it but this makes the Trump Team look foolish. If they are this easily outmaneuvered in the primaries, they stand to get spanked by the democrats in the general election. Politics and elections are serious business that require skill, knowledge and situational awareness
Even worse, how would this team ever handle dealing with other regimes whose trickery makes what is going on in the primaries now look like bush league stuff ?
Welcome to politics 101. There are no rules in this game except you’re not permitted to physically maim or kill your opponent. Does Donald Trump complain when someone tries to screw him over in a business deal, or does he figure out how to be the screw-er instead of the screw-ee? He’s been buying off politicians since he got out of short pants but thought they’d just roll over in face of his personality with the presidency at stake? What Cruz is doing is inside baseball, but baseball’s the game and presidential politics are the major leagues.
THe more I see from Cruz the less likely it is I woult ever vote for him. I’ll write-in Trump first.
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
Mark 8:36
No answer required, we already know what the Annointed One thinks about the Bible.
AZ voters insisting the delegates are designated according to their own rules, which state that only the candidate with 50% or more, get all delegates!
Trump got 47% so let's just go ahead and break our own rule and give him all the delegates! Trump Rules are what America needs!
What a sham, relying on rules - everyone knows we don't need no stinkin' rules!!!
