And, yes, I think closed primaries are a good idea too.
Well, Cruz WAS at a little meeting in the Bronx a few days back. He met with hispanic NYC, NY state senate DEMOCRAT Sen. Ruben Diaz. Diaz is being somewhat misrepresented in the articles as being conservative. He is not. He is a member of a group of Pastors I believe - which is likely why he is referred to as “conservative”.
And meeting with hispanic “leaders” in the Bronx? Where most are registered democrats? HUGH population of illegals.
How can a Democrat pastor help get the vote out for Ted Cruz? In the Bronx? It’s too late to register new voters, and WAYYYY too late to change party.
How can meeting with a Dem State Senator help Cruz?
IOW, what was the real purpose of the meeting?
Laying the groundwork for voter fraud?
One can only wonder.
They decided not to have a vote. Same as Wyoming and some other state maybe ND
Here is a blurb from Frontloading HQ.
Candidates for national convention delegate need not identify the presidential candidate they are pledged to support, but may do so at their option. The ballot shall include the presidential candidate each candidate for national delegate is pledged to support, or shall indicate that the candidate for national delegate is unpledged. CRC Bylaws, Art. XIII, § A(5)(c).
In the event a candidate for national delegate indicates on his or her notice of intent to run as a national delegate that such candidate is pledged to support a particular presidential candidate, the State Chairman of the Colorado Republican State Central Committee shall cast the vote on behalf of that national delegate on the first nominating ballot in accordance with the pledge of support made by such national delegate on their notice of intent to run; except that if a qualifying presidential candidate releases his delegates through public declaration or written notification, the presidential candidate’s name is not placed in nomination, or the presidential candidate does not otherwise qualify for nomination ..., the individual National Delegates and National Alternate Delegates previously pledged are released to cast their ballots as each may choose, or the State Chairman shall allocate and cast the delegate votes to the remaining presidential candidates as if the eliminated presidential candidate had failed to qualify. On any succeeding ballot for president, the national delegates are released to cast their ballots as each may choose. CRC Bylaws, Art. XIII, § A(3).
