Ted Cruz Set to Claim Illinois Delegate Prize
Breitbart Big Government ^ | March 14, 2016 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 03/14/2016 1:15:10 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is holding five rallies across Illinois on Monday in the lead-up to its Super Tuesday vote tomorrow. Although the latest polls show Trump with a lead in Illinois, the Cruz rallies highlight the superior ground effort of his campaign. Donald Trump currently has around 36 percent support in Illinois. Cruz is around 25 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is at 19 percent. While Trump may win the overall vote in Illinois, it is possible he ends up with fewer delegates than Cruz, or even Kasich.

In Illinois, the winner of the statewide vote receives 15 of the state's delegates. Another 54 delegates are awarded through votes in the state's 18 congressional districts.

In each district, voters vote for a candidate and then must vote for up to three individuals to serve as delegates, each of whom are affiliated with one of the candidates....

Read the news, you will find meetings with Bush, NRO endorsement. In fact, Rush was crowing about the NRO endorsement even knowing their establishment.

Polls measure support not turnout.

They have both just indicated that they will stay in till the end no matter the vote outcome. It is to deny the front runner just enough delegates to trigger a brokered convention. Sh!t bags.

He has meetings with everyone. He’s not isolating himself.

He’s trying to get as many votes he can. That’s the name of the game. That doesn’t mean he’s making himself a whore.

Of course, Trump has been really good at being on the other end of it, hasn’t he? He’s bought every politician (mostly liberal) over the past 40 years. Yeah. That’s real honorable.

Get over yourself.

Do a research project to see what Cruz has actually stood for when he’s been a Senator. Then will talk.

Sorry but I started this race supporting Cruz. It was my research that turned me off of him. Maybe you should take your own advice, really research Cruz, and turn Rush off.

I am not sure about his ratings,I rarely listen, it does not seem like him,except for the humongous ego. You have to look at his dearest friends both should be in Looney bins. Mark Levin makes my hair hurt,and beck is from another planet he is so far out there.

And what research led you to the conclusion that Donald is a conservative candidate?

That is a good point I had not considered. Rush wants to sleep In the white house again,and with trump,it won’t happen.

Agree,plus he has a young beautiful wife,and looks good for his age. All those bad features of Cruz,and he stands bowlegged with his abdomen pushed out. That is gross,it is probably Ill fitting boots. He always sounds like he loves his own voice,and it makes him shrill, besides nasal.
Just imagine that voice for ten minutes let alone four years. YIKES....

On a semi-related note: I just voted early in Illinois (for the first time - call me old school). A number of voters apparently didn't know they needed to choose one party ... so the following from the article isn't hard to believe:

One Illinois political source told Breitbart News that, in early voting, there has been a significant drop-off in people voting for a candidate, but not voting for individual delegates. In other words, people are voting for their chosen candidate for the nomination, but not completely the ballot by voting for delegates.

Ah! So typical!

I’ve asked the question that no Trumpbot EVER wants to answer.

Thanks for proving once again how un-conservative Trump really is.

I rest my case.

And probably not the last.

Whereas The Donald is humility personified.

Nice research. Took awhile to put together didn’t it? And yet, who is still in the lead? Took me no time to figure that.

And that’s so important, because Trump is so awesome on the issues, right?

And so humble, too.

How does it feel to back a creep that backs commies trying to violate first amendment rights,instead of decent people try to attend a rally? What is wrong with you?
You probably hate police also.
