Ted Cruz is not releasing his delegates in at least three states, a sign he may hold onto some clout at this summer's Republican National Convention.
Cruz sent a letter to Republican state parties in at least Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas on Monday informing them that he plans to keep the delegates he won bound to him...
Trump is the presumptive nominee and is on a path to clinch the 1,237 delegates needed to earn it on the first ballot, but holding on to his delegates could help Cruz exercise at least some control over convention rules and procedures.

Cruz has the right not to release them. He wants to use them to influence the platform, and that’s nothing different than in the past elections of my lifetime.
I think she has the whole sum total of a whopping “1” single delegate. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.
Speaking time? Great idea! It appears to me that the more people hear Cruz speak, the less they like him.
Trump does not need Cruz’s delegates for anything.
Trump will have more than enough delegates to do whatever
he wants to do.
I definitely Do NOT see Cruz playing for the team. Cruz is a “me only” clown.
Crybaby!! You left your binky in the bathroom.
As long as the GOP politburo thinks there is a glimmer of hop they can still swindle the election.
These people are rotten to the core.
I’ve got a 5 yo grandson who has fewer loser tantrums than Cruz.
Trump does not need Cruzs delegates for anything.

That’s what I am getting plus according to the famous rules the delegates are no longer bound to Cruz. They can do whatever they want.
Because the pressure is off. Cruz can’t stand pressure. He has no business being president, let alone the fact he is not qualified in other matters.
Ted is harvard Law like thousands of others including Obama. he is no genius!
He threw away his seat at the table when he showed himself for the traitor he is. I wouldn’t trust Cruz as far as I could throw him.
No class at all Ted.
Well, at least Cruz hasn’t yet reneged on his pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee. Hopefully, Cruz will honor his pledge. If not, it’s a signal that Cruz is going to bow out of politics when his Senate term is finished. Either that, or Cruz is too stupid to know his political future would be finished if he reneges.
Trump won ALL of Florida’s 99 Delegates.
Cruz followers need to look at the Cruz backers who are now throwing Millions into Hillary’s election. Cruz is a GLoBALIST. The ONLY America First Nationalist is
Trump. If you love America, you have only one choice, Trump!
So true.
As you please. Trump is class. Cruz is trash.
