The group could be pivotal
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has a clear early lead in the Republican race for unbound delegates who can vote their personal preference on the first ballot at the Cleveland convention, according to a TIME survey, presenting an obstacle for frontrunner Donald Trump if he falls just short of the 1,237 bound delegates needed to clinch the nomination.
Of the 63 unbound delegates who have already been named, 26 have told TIME or other news outlets that they are either committed to support Cruz, lean towards supporting Cruz or refuse to support Trump on the first ballot. By contrast Trump has the public support of only one delegate in North Dakota. Another delegate in American Samoa is Trumps local campaign chair, but he declined to confirm to TIME that he will support Trump on the first ballot. Fifteen others declined to tell TIME their preference, and 15 more could not be reached for comment....

Ah yes, your canned reply.
The GOP process is completely corrupt and does not offer a path to a representative form of government. We need a new party.
Trump is trying to soothe bad feelings. So much anger between campaigns and Trump knows that needs to change for the general.
OK, Lyin’ Kenny, let’s see how that goes.
Wait send me over some good beer.What happens in 5 weeks is the question.
Why are you still here posting articles that benefit Hillary Clinton ?
“Facts”? Time?
yes he’s playing the role of a gracious winner. but remember its just a role. He could easily be going as bad sport. so versatile that trump. its amazing though how everything is working out for him, the stars aligned for him this election. and I’m happy for him. if he unifies the party it will be a YUGE accomplishment and should mean a gop victory innovember
Agree, the delegates also.
As long as Trump will get the 1237 going into the convention, the rest won’t matter.
Not really. Trump needs to WIN it, instead of continually shooting himself in the foot. His harping on Cruz does nothing but piss of Cruz supporters who MAY not support him in the general.
1237er, are you?
I just spent ten minutes trying to post Two Brothers’ Fatima Coffee Pale Ale for you on a mobile and FI!!!! Go look it up, killer logo. Thanks again for the five week thing.
This new news out on the main board all but confirms that Tedstablishment is GOPee through and through.
Cruz is working to give Hillary the presidency.
Jim-—you missed one. 2nd Division Propagandist for the New World Order.
You need to back off, and Cruz needs to be defeated.
You are sold out. I think. I don’t have proof but there are a lot of statements in this forum that you have changed your positions, are supporting Cruz somehow professionally (it appears), but you are acting like a 100% sold out goof-ball.
Cruz just sucks. Moreso every single day.
He needs to be roundly defeated, and you need to BACK OFF.
I’m going with you.
