Trump’s weak delegate operation could derail his nomination
MSNBC ^ | 6 April 2016 | Benjy Sarlan

Posted on 04/08/2016 11:01:05 PM PDT by AmericanInTokyo

There’s a recurring question among the Republicans gathering in Colorado at state and local conventions to choose delegates this week: "Where’s Donald Trump?"

Colorado is a rare state where party officials choose delegates without any input from a primary or caucus vote. The bulk of the state’s 37 delegates will be picked at a series of congressional district conventions on Friday and a state convention on Saturday in Colorado Springs. Prospective delegates can run as unaffiliated free agents or pledge to back a candidate.

"There just doesn’t seem to be any Trump organization at all, to be honest," Dick Wadhams, a former Colorado GOP chairman, told MSNBC. "I do think that Cruz has an advantage going into this convention on Saturday."

“Talk to My Mortgage Professionals now!”

 “I think it’s a great time to start a mortgage company,”  Trump told a CNBC interviewer in April 2006, adding that “the real estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come.”

when was the last time you had sitting members of the GOP actively attacking the leading candidate long after all other candidates for the nomination had either been mathematically eliminated, or practically eliminated?

After the convention, I’m sure you will be the 1st to attack the nominee of which will be Cruz.

The only thing at this point that can save your messiah is what he’s doing now which is hiding and shutting his big mouth.

Hi, troll.

The difference between active behaviour of the leaders of a party, against the will of the people they supposedly represent, and on whose behalf they administer enormous sums of money (GOP-e)...

and your *prediction* of the FUTURE behaviour of a single member of the rank-and-file, who has no control over the party apparatus nor the means to propagandize millions of others...(me)

should be obvious even to a troll like you.

Woah. I live overseas and am a Yuge Trump supporter. There are a lot of us vocally supporting him and have converted a lot of foreigners to see it our way. Should every American stay home? Stop being ignorant. We’re on the same side. By the way I just raised a ton of money for a US charity at the Hong Kong Rugby 7s. Don’t question my patriotism.

I realize that, but he was also the governor of California before running for the Presidency. His motivational speeches were really all about making a name for himself, beyond acting, to enter into politics.

If there’s a delegate to be stolen you can bet your ass Cruz will and his team of HAAAVAAD lawyers will find it. Cruz wants to bypass the people who have soundly rejected him and go straight to the party bosses. www.tedbush.org

This little game of twisting arms all comes an end in 10 days when the canadian fraud will be swamped in 6 straight contests.

The one trick pony is the canadian fraud Ted Bush, no more qualified to run for president than the man in the moon, who has been summarily destroyed by Donald Trump all over the country. He still bypasses the people after they have soundly rejected him and and wants his fellow GOPe establishment cronies to give him the nomination. Disgusting POS.

Cruz people don’t understand business but Trump owes banks secured loans for real estate development, not campaign funds like Cruz.

It is stealing votes. The definition of stealing is taking something that doesn’t belong to you. The voters aren’t giving Cruz their votes, the system is.

When I vote I consider that my vote, not a bargaining chip in a merger. People died for that vote, risked everything they had in the American Revolution for that single vote. Rules don’t negate that.

BS, debating Cruz AGAIN would only help Cruz because he can’t get any good publicity except from the NY Times, Post, etc. but not with the people.

And Cruz is about to be mathematically eliminated from the 1237 so why would Trump bother?

Isn't it great that the Uniparty Officials/GOPe/Bush Family get to choose the Nominee WITHOUT voter consideration? BTW this might bite Cruz in the ass.

Because Trump hasn’t 1,237 and is not likely to get it.

But I’m repeating myself.

So, “Bye!”
