He wasn’t trolling there. Greenpapers had the following, which was wrong:
If one candidate wins more than 50% of the National Convention Delegates, that candidate receives all the National Convention Delegates. [Idaho Republican Party State Rules. Idaho Rules for Selection of Delegates to the National Convention and State Convention. Article VI. Section 3.(a)]
Otherwise, if at least 1 candidate receives 20% or more of the statewide vote, the National Conventions delegates are allocated proportionally to those candidates receiving 20% or more of the statewide vote. [Idaho Republican Party State Rules. Idaho Rules for Selection of Delegates to the National Convention and State Convention. Article VI. Section 3.(b)]
Otherwise, National Conventions delegates are allocated proportionally. [Idaho Republican Party State Rules. Idaho Rules for Selection of Delegates to the National Convention and State Convention. Article VI. Section 3.(b)]
Those were the 2014 Caucus rules, not the 2015 Primary rules.
Note that none of the pundits are talking about the issues.....once again Trump has them talking about his smorgosboard he laid out there of his “Brand”.
The media sucks big time in this election. Even when any candidate “wins” a state or advances they briefly mention it as an after thought because they want to continue to keep the ‘showman’ feeding their ratings...and he will always feed them.
“Dan in Wichita likes to think that, and I let him, just to keep him from gnawing on my ankle.”
ROTFLOL I have to remember that response for when someone says, “I didn’t know you were a friend of Mary’s.” Classic Windflier, who really is my friend.......er....aren’t you? I promise I won’t gnaw on your ankle (I don’t have any teeth...ahaha)
You are also wrong about Trump’s target delegates tonight. They were 59 which he surpassed, not the ridiculous 90 you posited.
That’s great. The very next source *after* Greenpapers (when I googled) was the source I linked.
Correct. Unless the GOPe finally realizes their “never Trump” strategy is stupid, and won’t work because the majority of the remaining states are winner take all. It does no good for Rubio and Kasich to stay in the race because they won’t be getting any delegates anyway, but will only be keeping Cruz from getting delegates. As soon as Rubio and Kasich get out of the way, Cruz can start beating Trump and start winning winner take all states.
You are entirely correct, my FRiend!
Ham was outraged he was lying about where the steaks came from. The guy next to her asked her if they needed to be Trump cattle and blew her off.
She is an idiot cruzie.
Can you imagine the fireworks if he started selling Trump condoms?
“...the Canadian thing is a non-issue; the courts have all thrown it out...”
You’re a fool if you think some federal court won’t grant Hillary ‘standing’ in an eligibility suit against Cruz, were he to win the nomination.
And don’t you know, it’ll be the one time the Supremes all agree on the meaning of the NBC clause.
Cruz can only win if he can win moderate states.
He’s running of states like ID with religious voters.
Unless he can broaden his base, he won’t win a primary in the North and Northeast.
It’s amazing what a president can do with the right team, and assembling good teams is Trump’s forte. Yes, our Treasury banking system is full of regulations. A few adjustments through the system would allow for contolling the fees on money leaving the country sent by illegal aliens. There are already fees on international money transactions. Why does this surprise you?
“:^)
Looks like it’s a second-place finish for Cruz in Michigan. 98% in now.
Donald J. Trump 473,818 36.5% 25 delegates
Ted Cruz 324,167 24.9 % 17 delegates
John Kasich 315,933 24.3% 17 delegates
Marco Rubio 121,222 9.3%
Other 64,138 4.9%
Especially if they were made in China or Mexico.
Yeah but Cruz & Kasich tied for delegates.
“Steele fwiw has been behind trump for the past week.”
Michael Steele apparently lives in the real world.
Yeah that made her look pretty silly. Shocking, Trump doesn’t butcher his own steaks.
“Cruz can only win if he can win moderate states.
He’s running of states like ID with religious voters.
Unless he can broaden his base, he won’t win a primary in the North and Northeast.”
Huh? Just look at Michigan today. Trump only got 36%. There is no way Cruz would not have beaten Trump if Rubio and Kasich were not competing. Rubio and Kasich supporters would almost all go to Cruz over Trump.
“Its actually stunning that he has taken in a Bush.”
Yes it is, and it’s going to cause a great many of his weary supporters to finally stop and re-examine the man. I predict that this will be a ‘last straw’ for a lot of them.
