Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% can add Nebraska to his list of states where he’s out organized GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in collecting delegates.
“Party officials say they saw virtually no organization by the mogul’s campaign last week when Republicans in all 93 Nebraska counties held local conventions. Those county conventions picked 800 delegates to May’s 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 didn’t see any Trump supporters,” said Washington County GOP member John Orr told Politico.

But that’s just a few.
The rest prefer to say that Ted Cruz lies, cheats and steals.
Because in their minds, Trump never fails. He never loses. When he does, it's the result of some malfeasance on someone’s part.
So Mr. back East, elitist, billionaire can’t make the time to even consider us toothless yokels in the flyover states and somehow that’s OUR problem?
posted an article by a Massachusetts philosopher of history who may have coined the word “storm Trumpers” but most historians and definitely philosophers (an x of mine) would not be that creative. As I said there, the punchy ones are probably the Reagan dems everyone says are supporters of DT.
However, there's the "small problem" that Trump & Sanders have exposed:
The party organizations are flipping off the ACTUAL voters.
It's been a one-way street up until 2016.
The Trump/Sanders bulldozers have opened up the other side of the street...
Nebraska has a primary on May 10, and Cruz will win it.
It's called a "New York State of Mind" --
Been high in the Rockys under the evergreens
I know what I'm needin'
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't have any reasons
I left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
>> That was on Breitbart? <<
Maybe there’s a mole at Breitbart?
Or maybe the Breitbart Bigwigs are just hedging their bets?
Apparently anything west of the Mississippi is not a comfortable flight to and from the Trump Tower.
East Coast liberals hate states like Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma...they call them “fly over country.” Trump barely won in MO and Louisiana ..by the hair on his furbee comb
over.
Ivanka was ranting about New York yesterday since she did not register to vote in time..she can’t vote for her daddy.
New York Values mean actually flying over flyover country.....
I wish trump would actually put in an appearance in Nebraska, there are just TWO major cities in Nebraska, Omaha and Lincoln....
That is all he would go to... Nebraskans would have loved to drive hundreds of miles to see him too...
Ted Cruz and the GOPe Party Syndicate is totally destroying any chance of the Republicans taking the Presidency and they will also lose the Senate. They are an insult to the Republican base which the majority does not support Cruz nor the GOPe, in fact this entire election cycle has been and still is all about the rejection of the GOPe unrepresentative agendas, their disrespect for the will, the majority and the votes of the Republican base, and this entire election cycle is about a rebellion from such establishment and their entire process of “delegating down” from the top who is going to be the candidates and ignoring the will of the people and their vote and voice. Because of this, which is the GOPe’s own creation due to their total unwillingness to listen the base and their total inaction to the hopes and desires of the base, and due to the GOPe’s total slap in the face of the voting base and their voice which is shutdown using disgusting Syndicate tactics such as what Ted Cruz is now doing because Cruz cannot, nor ever will, get the majority vote and as a loser he has drunk the poison of Party Syndicalism which is designed to suppress the voice and the majority vote of the base and replace the vote and the voice with preselected delegation of result by Double Agents of the GOPe, and Cruz having drunk this poison will use the SAME Falangismo tactics at every level should he succeed and enable the GOPe to hardwire such abominations into the Party for decades, but it doesn’t matter in the sense that if Cruz and his fascist and un-democratic schemes succeed, Cruz will be singlehandedly responsible for the total destruction of the Republican Party because there is simply no way, no how, no time that the majority base will stand for their voice and vote being arbitraged by Party Syndicate delegation that replaces their vote and their majority voice with hacks of the GOPe and only act for the suppression of the majority and the use of “rules” to RULE OVER the majority and silence their participation with fascist tactics that are totally un-American and right out of Falangist Spain or Cuba.
The result, if successful, will be that the majority base will NOT vote for the assassin Cruz the Party Syndicalist, and the Democrats will win in a huge landslide. There is no way I would EVER vote for Cruz at this juncture, if he cannot win outright the majority vote than in no way will I EVER accept this un-American and fascist nomination, Cruz is clearly a threat to our very liberty in his actions and disrespect and unprincipled betrayal of the will and voice and vote of the Republican base, he is a clear and present DANGER to us and he will spread this Falangist poison at every level the more power he accumulates by means of silencing the silent majority though tactics of the Syndicate.
However, in the end, I do not think Cruz nor the GOPe will have their abomination succeed. Yet, even with their demise, which I assure you IS COMING, they have damaged the Republican Party for decades to come if, and until, the Party has an entire ROOT CANAL ridding such Falangists from the Party for good. That would be the next objective, once the will and votes of the people take their God given course and rights back from such fascists. The Republican base majority will NEVER accept Syndicalism to determine THEIR MANDATE and THEIR WILL! Never! Cruz and his ilk from the GOPe are DESTROYING THE PARTY with such Falangism, WE WILL REFUSE TO ACCEPT THEM AND THIS! There is nothing “smart” about what Cruz is doing, any idiot can be like him, a pathetic tool and selfish hack of the Syndicate. We are not so stupid to not see what he is, now!
STOP CRUZ!
FREE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FROM PARTY SYNDICALISM!
STOP BUSH, STOP MCCONNELL, STOP BOEHNER, STOP GRAHAM, STOP RUBIO, STOP ROMNEY, STOP RYAN, STOP CRUZ!
Saw virtually the same thing in Pierce County, WA.
Virtually NO Trump supporters showed up to get voted on for the State Convention.
Eventually, only people chosen at the State Convention will be allowed to go to the National Convention. If Trump’s organization is so weak that nobody will attend, then the first round may be obligatory (vote for whoever won WA Primary), but the second round will be all Cruz.
Eventually, some Trump supporter somewhere has to do some work.
This is Trump’s, what, sixth run for President?
I don’t think he ever intended for it to go this far, but it took on a life of its own.
There is no way that a man serious about the office, having run so many times previously, would be so unprepared.
I do think there should be some fumigation in the party big time. But whining about how delegates are selected while also being rewarded by that same rigged system isn’t the right way to do it. It’s the same garbage we get from the GOPe.
Now sanders on the other hand has a more legit complaints, but then again it is a private party. He should have been bitching about these super delegates from before he even started running. After you run and see oh my I may win then crying about it isn’t the right way to fix the system.
I’m guessing Paul is not at ALL biased...
Sounds to me like he is upset that he has such a mess to clean up.
Thanks! Somebody has to do it, no matter how boring or unpleasant the task might be.
(And obviously, we can't turn the job over to Mexican illegals.)
>> They have dropped the all out for Trump thing <<
Interesting. Maybe ad revenues have something to do with the development? I think the guy who bought Breitbart is a very successful investor, so perhaps he's more interested in a return on his capital than he's interested in boosting one specific candidate or another.
It seems to me that Cruzers are arguing for the dishonesty and backroom deals that are the essence of what Trump is running against.
So, how many “ votes” did Cruz get?
Trump’s been running for office off and on since the 80’s. You’d think he’d take a little time along the way to learn about it.
They are local Republican activists at the conventions, not big shot "party officials". You'll just have to excuse them for wanting an actual conservative Republican to be the nominee.
BTW, they are picking a nominee for a party. It's not actually the Presidential election yet. Nothing says all the voters have to get a say in who a party chooses to nominate to represent the party in the election. And historically, it wasn't usually done that way.
