The Cruz camp can’t win enough votes at the ballot box so they’re stealing them at the state level. Such good Christian conservatives.
Cruz supporters are asking bloggers to stalk the delegates in Colorado.
"Dear Influential Conservative Blogger,
I found a list of names and phone numbers for Colorado delegates, of which a huge number are unbound. I did reverse phone searches and came up with a list of mailing addresses for a lot of these unbound delegates. I wrote letters to them saying that Cruz has been most consistent about re-negotiating the Iran deal, and that they should vote for him.
Perhaps you and your followers can do the same. Attached is a list of unbound delegates for Colorado, and their mailing addresses. I also noted their phone numbers in case you think that’s better. (Personally I don’t. Some of them might be on do not call lists.)
Regards, Alex S."
The Corker amendment was not approval of the Iran deal. The Corker amendment forced the President to let the Senate have a say in the approval of the deal. From day one Cruz said he voted for it for that reason alone and he spoke out about the Republicans needing to stand strong to defeat the agreement if it didn't protect America.
Cruz does not support open borders. He was primarily responsible for killing the gang of 8. He is a leading anti-illegal immigration hawk in the Senate. He has an A+ 95% rating from NumbersUSA.

Cruz does not support TPP. He is a leading critic.
On second thought, nobody could be this stupid. I think you are actually a lying scumbag.
“He no longer impress me since I’ve followed him now for eight months or more...”
All I can say is just wow and thank you for joining with those of us that have been fighting the establishment as part of the Tea Party effort since GWB stated, “we need to destroy the free market to save capitalism.”
Let’s review your entire knowledge of Senator Cruz. It has only been during an election cycle where a certain candidate and his surrogates are willing to say anything about him, regardless if it is true or not.
Had you have been in this fight since 2008/9, then you would have been aware of his suing the Bush administration on behalf of the State of Texas to prevent the release of a death row inmate. You would have been aware of his successfully defending the 2nd amendment. You would have been aware of his filibuster stand against Obamacare.
Oh, well. All we can do is welcome new troops to the fight. Too bad we have seen that fight brought internally and the new troops being used to destroy Conservatives.
Teddy, just being the bear that he is. Stuffed yet still unsated.
Just because that tariff occured during Reagan’s time, does not make it Capitalist or Free Market.
Your question was lamenting that FReepers no longer supported Capitalism or the Free Market. Your right, you don’t.
Thanks. Your suspicions would be correct.
Trump #1, Cruz #2. I will vote for either in the general.
We understand you are a bunch of whiney babies. UNBOUND delegates. The humanity Cruz is trying to get UNBOUND delegates to support him over. Well over nobody because they are UNBOUND.
Is the basic understanding of our primary system beyond Trumpeteers. It is not a straight democratic up or down vote.
Ouch! That will leave a mark.
And if Trump’s team is not doing this then he is a damn idiot and does not deserve to be president. But Trump and his supporters would rather whine and stomp their feet.
>>>At what point of immoral, unethical behavior will you reject this deranged lunatic?<<<
Are you making a personal attack against me or are you just stupid? The rules for most delegates allow them to vote for whomever they want on the second ballot. All Cruz is doing is trying to win the convention if Trump doesn’t wrap things up on the first ballot. Kind of like how Reagan tried to beat Ford, despite Ford having more bound delegates in 1976.
The rules today are pretty much the same as 1976. If Trump is ignorant, not interested or can’t figure out to hire a good staff, that is on him. Direct your ire at your preferred candidate for not playing the game of primary politics as well as he should.
I guess you do not see the irony of your post.
Well why don’t you explain it to us then, and tell us what you find ‘ironic’ about it?

There have been reports of Cruz surrogates contacting Trump BOUND delegates.
You can stop with the Alinskyite name calling and bullying. Trumpers are not going to shut up as Cruz tries to disenfranchise Trump voters and steal the nom. Understand?
LOL
Those dominionists are a wild bunch...
That is yours and Jim’s opinion. The fallacy in the logic is that someone has to get to 1237 before the convention.
If you get to 1237 you win.
If you keep everyone else from getting to 1237 there is a contested convention and you can still win.
They are not just unbound delegates. They are calling everyone who put their name in to be a delegate. They called me and tried to talk me into supporting Cruz. They are probably keeping a list to make sure Trump supporters don’t even get elected. They are going to fill the Trump slots with Cruz people.
Maybe you guys think this is fair, but I think it is sleazy politics. This isn’t why people vote, so backroom deals can be made by party officials.
There are two ways to win
Go into the convention with 1237 delegates
Make sure no one goes into the convention with 1237 delegates and win a contested convention
You are utterly delusional.
And time will validate that.
Enjoy your fantasies while they last.

Did you happen to read the headline or are you stupid? Using rules to usurp the will of the people is not more ethical/moral than using the rules to steal your rights.
So get your head out of your Cruz butt and do some thinking...what happened to the principled conservative Christians that were supposedly making up Cruz support? I thought they were mostly phony as well...no one who is truly principled and Christian could support him.
