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....

Each delegate candidate in the separate election has the name of the presidential candidates they support listed with their names.
Trump has a full slate and I think the other campaigns do, too. Its a long list because dropped out candidates have their delegate candidates still on the ballot.
Three are elected per congressional district with 15 delegates going to the popular vote winner statewide.
2ndDivisionVet, CincinatusWife, Smoking Joe, aka the Goebbels wing of Ted Cruz’s fanboy coffee klatch better clinch tight after tomorrow night mud hole stomping. Maybe like a poster here that can take heart that Trump only won by 5 points not the polled 20.
And the establishment has already started collecting on those donations. Its why Neil Bush is Cruz's new campaign mgr, why Cruz met with Jeb, and why the NRO endorsed Cruz. It's sad but true.
I’m set to win the Powerball lottery, as soon as they call my numbers too.
So what happens if the voter picks a candidate but doesn’t vote for delegates?
Ted Cruz won his Home State of Texas by the Lowest Margin Ever by a Home State Candidate in the History of the GOP.
South Carolina Trump won every Delegate
1/3 of Cruz's delegates come from Texas
Neil Bush IS NOT Cruz’s CAMPAIGN manager
You seem to have a problem with us standing up for the candidate we support. Piss off. It’s still a free country.
Rush said today that even if Trump wins all the states tomorrow Cruz can roar back to win the nomination. Rush must be senile.
Total Delegates = 99 Florida and 95 New York.
Rush never said how? You explain?
Maybe polls show Neil is less objectionable than Jebbie to the Republican primary voters.
Yeah, they are wildly pro-Trump, aren’t they?
Neil Bush, Jeb's brother, joins Ted Cruz's finance team By Theodore Schleifer, CNN Updated 3:07 PM ET, Tue March 8, 2016
At least if this were a one on one fight Trump would not have to face an all or nothing campaign from Kasich in Ohio, an all or nothing campaign from Rubio in Florida, an all or nothing campaign from Cruz in Illinois and Missouti all coordinated by the GOPe. All the media attacking him coordinated by the Uniparty. It is the people against the establishment of both parties. I hope enough realize the states.
Ted is having his people vote directly for the delegates, a separate procedure; Trump backers are not informed of the process and are just voting for Trump only. it is IL! Has anything good come out of there in years?
Ummm..yah. Trump with a 10 point lead and Cruz is the winner. Right.
Get ready for this crap. Unless Trump wins all states they will say he underperformed and that it was a bad night and that the momentum is with Cruz or Kasich. This won’t end. Even if he wins all 5 they’ll just say, “He only has x amount of the delegates needed, still a lot of road left” blah blah blah. Trump or Bust
Nice Hire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 Federal regulators today sued Neil M. Bush, the President's son, and other directors, officers and lawyers of a defunct Denver savings and loan association, saying their ''gross negligence'' had led to a collapse that could cost taxpayers more than $1 billion.
