Cruz showed up and made it happen. Why couldn't Trump?

Made what happen?

My initial comment was to ask whether anyone can recall a losing candidate in the past who went to state conventions and tried to scheme and maneuver to have delegates who were actually loyal to a losing candidate, appointed to supposedly be delegates for the winning candidate? Faithless delegates, or double agent delegates.

Did Santorum try that in 2012. Did Huckabee try it in 2008? Can you name anyone who has ever tried so underhanded and dishonest a scheme to try and thwart the will of the people during delegate selection as Ted Cruz is trying to do?

Can anyone name a candidate who has ever tried this before?

Lot's of them. Huckabee and McCain did it to Romney in 2008. Romney did it to Santorum in 2012. Paul did it to everyone in 2008 and 2012.
