Ted Cruz rejected Donald Trump's claims that the GOP race is rigged, telling Glenn Beck on Tuesday that Trump will continue "to scream that they're stealing the election" as long as they continue to successfully wrangle delegates before a possible contested convention this summer.
"Apparently, when anyone votes against him, it's an act of theft," Cruz said on Beck's online radio show. He also told Beck the Trump campaign's "inability to even show up and win elections" makes it appear the front runner "can't run a lemonade stand."
"Donald, it ain't stealing when the voters vote against you -- it is the voters reclaiming this country and reclaiming sanity," Cruz told a San Diego crowd at a rally on Monday night.
In the last day, Cruz has hotly defended his campaign's efforts to send Cruz loyalists as delegates to this July's Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Cruz's campaign swept up each of Colorado's 34 GOP delegates last weekend at its state and congressional district conventions after a similarly strong outcome in North Dakota the week prior. And in states that have already held their primaries or caucuses - like Tennessee, Arizona and Iowa - the Cruz campaign has effectively positioned its own supporters as Trump delegates in preparation for a second or third ballot that would allow them to vote for Cruz.
Trump tweeted bafflement on Sunday about the system: "I win a state in votes and then get non-representative delegates because they are offered all sorts of goodies by Cruz campaign. Bad system!"

So far the score is Cruz 11. Trump 21.
But Cruz is on a roll and the American people want him. Just ask him.
<<< Cruz is slime. >>>
You appear to be a Trump University grad.
Loathe Cruz!
<<< It’s OK for Cruz to use every trick in the book, but not Trump >>>
So now primary rules set by each sovereign state party are “tricks”?
Sounds like a nomination for Vice President.
That is classy. Any wonder posts like this are ruining FR.
You obviously have a very high IQ.
There was a day when Cruz was much appreciated as a conservative voice for folks like us.
It was rigged.
And disenfranchised over 1 million CO GOP voters.
This will not work out well for Cruz.
A backlash is coming. How it manifest itself, remains to be seen.
[[Ok. That’s enough. 400 threads on how devious cruz has been.]]
Just 400? Seems like a hell of a lot more to me
Cripes- Even CNN was congratulating Ted on his ground game in Colorado- CNN for crying out loud-
Mr. Trump has a pathetic national organization. His numbers with women are horrible. He’s bitching about CO but didn’t even attend the caucus.
He’s the likely GOP nominee and is limping into the convention. The Clinton Mob will eat him up.
and then there is this cross posting>>> may be the D is exposing a bunch of the corruption everywhere. I don’t think the pubs can be uncorrupted. time for either new party or new nation.

Why don’t you comment on any of your posts?
[[So now primary rules set by each sovereign state party are “tricks”?]]
No- it’s only tricks if the delegates dont’ go to trump- trump has benefited from obscure state rules, but by golly that was just fine and dandy- it’s only when Trump doesn’t benifit that it’s ‘dirty tricks’
Cruz is indefensible. He is an unprincipled second rate politician who cannot win the majority vote and has drunk the poison of Party Syndicalism and will do anything to disenfranchisr the majority vote because he hates the base that has chosen another, better, principled candidate, Trump, over him. He is a disgusting GOPe Falangist that does not believe in letting the will of the majority prevail, but rather would use and even defend the use of pre-selected Falangismo delegation of outcome rather than free choice by the people. He is un-Amedican, he is foreign to our values of liberty. He cannot be an American in my opinion by engaging in Gestapo tactics, he is a disgrace to America and what our solidiers died fightjng for. I wish he wpuld be deported, there is no way he could be an American and conspire with those who would use arbitrary “rules” to rule over us and he is an insult to our veterans.
Please leace my country Cruz, you are destroying our principles of the will of the people which you wish to replace with Falangist Party Syndicalism, how dare you!
STOP CRUZ!
FREE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FROM THE FALANGISMO OF PARTY SYNDICALISM THAT IS A DANGER TO OUR REPUBLIC!
For someone who supposedly left FR you sure do post alot.
Cruz is slime.
LOL.
Didn’t you damn us all to hell and opus out?
You damn us and slink off, only to return to spread bile?
K’nay, Bubba. Classy.
Classy.
