“I got cheated!”
After Donald Trump received nearly twice the votes of Ted Cruz at Saturday’s Arizona Republican convention, the Texas senator walked away with a significant majority of the delegates from that state, KTAR reported.
Cruz took nearly all the state’s 28 at-large delegates and basically split the 27 selected by congressional district.
Former Gov. Jan Brewer, a Trump supporter, was livid as the results were announced, indicating that she’d lost her first election in 35 years.

Cruz is a lawyer, and he thinks and acts like a lawyer. I’ve never accused him of doing anything that was outside the letter of the rules.... but to the average person, his behavior is beyond the pale.
That’s one of the many reasons he’s just losing support hand over fist.
In the real world, you play to win, don’t try to find loopholes after the fact. Cruz would give the lawyer answer that he’s playing by the rules and playing to win.. but to 90+% of the electorate, what he’s doing is playing dirty and double dealing... whether its against the rules or not.
Cruz thinks and acts like a lawyer, not a winner.
She’s an American hero (see Obama tarmac video) but not a convention delegate as former gov? I will be glad once this primary is over and respected FRIENDS regain their faculties.
He’d do well in Cuba.
Cruz winning these crucial victories, oh how breathless! Fighting for our values and our country! Anyone got a fife?
“With Ball Ammunition, Lock and Load”!
‘Now what I dont understand is how Jan feels she has been cheated.’
Perhaps because her name was removed from the ballot, so no one even had the option of voting for her?
No, that can’t be it. It’s too obvious, and if that was it you’d understand the cheating part.
+1
I miss understood. I was thinking that her name was removed because she did not receive enough votes. Thanks for clarifying.
“That is an allegation. It supersedes and surpasses that when it is accompanied by incontrovertible evidence.”
Yeah, whatever makes you feel better.
I don’t take anything away from her standing up against Obongo a few years ago on the tarmac. And the record will show that was my contribution here on FR in Support of her.
My understanding is that it was 37 of 55. There were 4 at-large who were in the Trump column, including Sheriff Joe, plus 14 of the 27 CD delegates.
Gee what a radical thief pushing scruzebot you are,do us all a favor and stay where you are through eternity.
Really! The old "stay in Tokyo" vomitus without even knowing where I am is so pathetically worn out it is almost humorous these days. It usually emerges, along with the Godzilla pics, when somebody in the FR thread has lost the argument.
Hey, but that's OK, snowflake. I understand.
Wow....you can’t even answer a simple question without anger and vitriol oozing out of every fiber of your being.
Sounds like you need a safe space.....before your melt.
Cruz is a religious zealot and unelectable. He has the personality of a wet napkin. Hillary would crush him.
You Trumpees parrot the big boy spot on. Trump wins a greater percentage of the delegates than popular votes you received and that’s fine with you. But its the pre-established rules, so I have no problem with it. Cruz plays by the pre-established rules and wins delegates that Trump was too lazy of ignorant to fight for and you cry “Cheater, cheater cheater!!”
Hypocrites, just like your pied piper.
Lol. !!! Make America Statist again.
You’re the one supporting an authoritarian candidate
