Louisiana delegates lash out at media: We're not with Cruz
The Hill ^ | April 15, 2016 | Joanathan Easley

Unbound delegates in Louisiana are fuming over media reports that they have decided to back Ted Cruz over Donald Trump in the presidential GOP primary, calling them untrue. Trump edged out Cruz in the Louisiana primary that was held March 5, though the margin was close enough that each candidate ended up taking 18 delegates.

From reading this article, I have to say that Cruz is stealing delegates right and left...

If this guy has only been contacted by Trump and Cruz hasn’t returned the phone call (reminds me of the 3 A.M phone call) then Cruz is again a liar and again hasn’t got the ground game he thinks he has...

Also, remember the 35$ gets you a ‘deputy delegate badge’ campaign going on, got another one today and so did my neighbor...he just is a slithering liar!!!

Uh oh. I guess they won’t be signing the mandatory loyalty pledges Cruz is forcing delegates to sign.

Well let's put it this way...say Cruz is president, just saying, and someone comes to him and has some blackmail on him, what do you think he's going to do? What would YOU do?

I have a lot of information on Cruz that I haven't let out yet, I will when the time is right...and it will make people wonder even more than they do now...

He has all these super pacs, and special interest groups and donors, and he is asking, begging for money? How sound is that to you?

We know that Cruz is trying to steal delegates but we don't know his rate of success. I'm not all that much convinced about his success in our Southern states where Mr. Trump beat him decisively.

Oh, I know that my own state, (Mississippi) is controlled by the Bryant/Barbour GOP and that they're either Cruz or Kasich, (anti-Trump) but folks here would raise Holy Hell were our delegates to go against our will. Trump won in a landslide, despite Governor Bryant's endorsement of Cruz.

By the time this is over, U.S. elections will be the brunt of Nigerian late night standup comics.

What stood out to me, as well as the accounts of the wobbly character actors who are serving weakly as delegate material, was the decline of the Louisiana media to correct the false report perpetrated by Cruz, and chose to let a Cruz lie stand, as if it were fact.

Cruz flogged the narrative that he had won the LA delegates and sold it to the national media as well as the LA state media, except for the Times Picayune.

Cruz remains a straight up liar and a thief.

The minute that Mitt Romney set foot in the State of Utah, we Trump supporters knew it was a fix..all for Cruz...

Now, with the NE article, the D.C.Madam getting ready to come out, what happened in CO, and happening there today, and looking back on Dr. Carson in Iowa, and with Rubio, I have to really wonder: Do these Mormons really believe in Cruz? With all of what he has done, and is doing, really?

Then another idea came to me: The Bushes are backing Cruz, is this to knock him out and get Jeb back in there, did they pick the wrong person, a slithering lying Cruz, or maybe they should have picked Kasich to do their dirty work...this isn't going to get Jeb anywhere where the Bush family wants him to be, at least not this election...

After Cleveland, and Trump takes the nomination, the RNC and Preibus are finished, the ‘grand old party’ will be a ‘has been’...and this is what America needs...

And remember that $35 gets you a "deputy delegate badge".

Where is this alternate reality where the Cruz campaign dwells? This is as bad as the vote shaming in Iowa.

It's almost tempting to get a "deputy delegate badge", go to the convention, and explain that I'm a deputy delegate just to see what happens. Except that I in no way want to give $35 to enable that sleaze.

Sure did. I love the character graphic art. The 2DV was like strawberry jam to top it off.,
