Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% can add Nebraska to his list of states where hes out organized GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in collecting delegates.
Party officials say they saw virtually no organization by the moguls campaign last week when Republicans in all 93 Nebraska counties held local conventions. Those county conventions picked 800 delegates to Mays Nebraska state convention, where 33 delegates to the national convention in Cleveland will be selected, Politico reports. Because there was little resistance, many county conventions became Cruz pep rallies, according to interviews with party insiders and convention attendees.
I didnt see any Trump supporters, said Washington County GOP member John Orr told Politico.

Oh yeah. Colorado redux.
Huh? Brietbart is funded by Mercer. The mask is slipping off is all.
50 states with 50 rules.
Shouldn’t you be hiring the “Best and the Brightest” beforehand and not afterward?
Even if you think you are the smartest guy in the room, shouldn’t you read the rules of all 50 states, and decide the best course of action for your own campaign?
Is Donald Trump seriously running for President, or just running to point out the flaws, as they come up?
Crying about a rigged system now just sounds like the Occupy Wall Street crowd.
“LOL - Trump NEVER tires of signaling a forthcoming lawsuit. Actual follow-up lawsuits: not so much.”

What does PT Trump spout all the time?
“Those Washington DC politicians are all talk and no action.”
We have not seen a carnival barker the likes of this fraud since....PT Barnum!
Trump is ALL BLUSTER AND NO ACTION...
I’ve observed a number of primary seasons and this is the first time I’ve ever heard people so caught up in how various states do it.
In the past, we just accepted how states did it and went on.
Donald. Donald. Donald. Because he lost those states he has called into question how their selection process is run.
It’s been in place for a while.
And now all the little trumpers have become obsessed with criticizing the process of various states (where Trump didn’t win).
If Trump came out for legalizing drugs and prostitution, it would be interesting to see how the trumpers here would react.
Just an example.
I’m shocked this is so unfair. Nebraska should change the rules to make Trump the winner! That is the only fair thing to do.
/sarcasm (but you know there will be FReepers here that think that)
So they have direct election of delegates! I like that. People do actually get to vote but they have to get educated to know what they are voting for. Sounds better than fair to me...it’s actually smart.
I get a charge out of people who haven’t even been here 5 years yet attacking newcomers—You aren’t that much of an old timer yourself...
Glad you are not on the Free Republic Welcome Wagon Committee....
Maybe you missed the memo from Jim; and it is not his first. You and the snarky insults directed at Trump supporters are not helping anything around here.

LOL! I never get tired of seeing Kim Jong Cruz's chubby little cheeks in that TOTALLY apropos picture. :)
How many time is Trump going to drop the ball and blame the system? Sheesh.
Could you expand on that?
What does Mercer have to do with it.
For a long time, people have wondered why Breitbart went so embarrassingly and obviously in the tank for Trump.
It just seemed odd. And they failed to stick up for their reporter in the Corey shoving match that two staffers quit.
Then all of a sudden a few days ago, they’ve become way more balanced.
Not sure what you mean by the mask coming off.
Cruz continues to play checkers.
Google mercer and brietbart.
Is this another crazy caucus state where people dont really vote? If so no wonder.
tired of the insults in both directions. people need to start educating themselves on how the process works. We are not a democracy. The mob doesn't rule.
Wow! The GOP in Nebraska lets the people vote!!! SHOCK
“...I’d like to know what happened over there...”
Could the Our Principles PAC party operatives have gotten to them?
Oh but you’ll allow his snarky comments to get a pass:

So when does Nebraska hold their Caucus?
Oh, nevermind. May 10th. Makes sense that they pick delegates beforehand huh?
That is a funny photo. I laughed outloud when I first saw it...then I got creeped out by it.
But on a serious note, I actually like the way Nebraska and Colorado do their elections. It allows the Republicans to actually nominate someone with the organization to win an election. And it’s fair since we don’t have direct elections anyway there isn’t anything wrong with directly electing the delegates. This way you don’t have to worry about them changing their minds in later rounds like you do when the state demands that they vote for their % share of the vote.
In florida where Trump gets less than 50% of the vote but 100% of the delegates. Now that is unfair. But those delegates after round 1 will change their vote—so who knows what we’ll get. But if they directly voted for the delegates they know who will represent them at the convention—that’s a great thing.
