One more “will of the people be damned” supporter. Nice.
I guess any way Ted gets in is good with you.
Zero integrity.
“But Cruz’s campaign is using its organization muscle...”
What are they lying about now?
Poor Trump....if it doesn’t go my way I will bi—h and cry.
What a scumbag...!
Oily Felito is, incredibly, even more loathsome than Bishop Willard.
I did not think such a thing was possible.
When would trump have time to ever be president?
It would cut into his Twitter wars and threats of lawsuits.
And I thought Obama was thin skinned
Is Cruz even going to make it to the convention? His Bimbo Eruption problem might take him down and if found to be true, it should.
The Republican race is such a lopsided win for Trump that it’s ludicrous to suggest otherwise. In Texas, Cruz won only 44% of his home state/s vote.....not even enough to get all the delegates. Trump won a chunk of Texas delegates.
Team Cruz ferreted out victories in a few caucus states known for oddball and malleable vote counting methods. For example, Cruz won in places that are not conducive to jump-starting his losing campaign, places none cares about:
Virgin Islands by 30 votes
Wyoming by 480 votes
Alaska by 600 votes
Maine by 2,500.
Here are the rounded total votes Cruz won in his 8 states.
Virgin Isl 200 people
Wyoming 620 people
Alaska 8,400
Maine 8,500
Kansas 35,000
Iowa 52,000
Utah 122,000
Okie 158,000
SUMMING UP Cruz bet a bundle on the south, then lost badly. It is doubtful Cruz can bring his (cough) “current winning streak” to the east. Ted won 8 states totaling a measly 385,000 votes.
By contrast, Trump won some 15 states w/ an astounding 1,350,000 votes, so far.
Why is it that people bother voting again, and why is it that Congress has an 11% approval rating, and why is it people think our political process is controlled by a handful of elites?
The clown always has an excuse and a lawsuit ready.
Quite true, and where are the rules enforced? IN COURT!
Keep ‘em honest, Mr. Trump! Someone has to do it!
The formula to allocate LA’s district delegates were not publicized until AFTER the election. I’ve got a big problem with this.
Trump won Louisiana 124,819 41.44%
Cruz, Rafael Edward 113,947 37.83%
So we learn there’s many ways to steal votes in LA. They still have not reported their CD votes and are violating national party rules and recently added their own. Looks like a dishonest delegate count to change where Trump won by 11,000 votes. LOUISIANA CRUZ CHEATERS hope you choke on a crawdad.
Saturday 5 March 2016: All 46 of Louisiana’s delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today’s Presidential Primary. [Delegate Selection Rules Resolution 2015-10. RULES FOR CONVENING OF THE STATE CONVENTION TO ELECT DELEGATES TO THE 2016 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.]
18 District delegates, 3 from each of the state’s 6 Congressional Districts, are proportionally allocated to Presidential contenders according to the primary vote in each Congressional District (rounded rules are not specified) [Rule 3. (d)].
28 (10 base at-large delegates plus 15 bonus delegates plus 3 RNC) statewide delegates are proportionally allocated to those Presidential contenders who receive 20% or more of the total statewide vote (as rounded by the Executive Committee). The allocation is in proportion to the total statewide vote NOT the total vote of those candidates receiving 20% or more of statewide vote. The remaining delegates are unbound. The rule says “Presidential candidates receiving more than 20% of the statewide vote ... will be allocated the same proportion, rounded by the Executive Committee ....” [Rule 4. (c)].
