“Cruz is devious...He takes what he has not rightfully earned.”
_____________________________________________________________

You are wrong! First of all, CO does not even have a primary vote, so none of these delegates have been earned, by anyone! They are all unbound going into Cleveland!

Second, all the candidates have the right to nominate and/or schmooze their preferred delegates for election/selection in CO and at other state conventions. It’s the process!

In many states, Cruz-supporting delegates will still be bound on the first ballot to vote for Trump, Kasich, Rubio...whoever won in their local district. So, nothing has been stolen! The Cruz effort is intended to be ready for the second or third convention ballot in the event that Trump does not win 1,237 votes on the first ballot.

This story just shows that Cruz is well organized and has prepared for all contingencies of the election process...others were not prepared!

The raccoon video was cute!

FR Spaulding explains the real Ted Cruz’s role for 2016.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3418566/posts?page=33#33

Cruz, like McCain, was introduced as a spoiler. As his and Obama’s Con. Law professor, Larry Tribe pronounced in the Boston Globe, Cruz argued the oritinalist or conservative constitutionalist position as one of his best students. Yes, every Senator signed Senate Res 511, in which Judge and DHS Chair Chertoff pronounce the “born to parents who were citizens” requirement, and Larry repeated the jus soli - born on our soil - part of the requirement.

The strategy appears to be to define Cruz, who worked for, and currently includes, Bush family operatives at key positions on his committee. Cruz offers enough to naïve conservatives to throw a convention to the party controllers. They have already identified their likely candidate, Paul Ryan. It doesn’t matter who they chose. It simply can’t be Trump. Trump probably doesn’t have hidden treasures in Panama. He doesn’t owe anyone, as Cruz may, and Roberts appears to. Remember, from the refreshing honesty of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson, the exhaustive database containing every detail of the lives of our senior government officials. We are governed by corruption. Trump is a threat because his brand of corruption is already very public.

Cruz’ connection with Goldman Saches, with the CFR, with open boarders, the globalists with whom he grew up, are there, for those who look. He was a Canadian citizen when he became a Senator. His triple or quadruple citizenship at birth is no secret, but like Obama, neither party’s untouchables will talk talk about it. Should one of them get bold, he/she will be reminded of Georgia’s Nathan Deal, who wrote an open letter to the White House demanded by his constituents and got his answer in the form of an IRS probe and letter from the Congressional Ethics committee. Cruz is doing his job for the powerful private corporation known as the Republican Party.

Cruz will disappear into the money machines of global banking after his moment of usefulness. He knows, better than most, the beliefs of our founders and framers and diplomats, Paine, Franklin, Hamilton, Jay, and Justices Jay, Marshall, Waite, Gray, Hughes, Black, and 14th Amendment author Bingham. Cruz, unlike most law school graduates, may have read Vattel and Pufendorf and Bynkershoek. He knows that all of these whose ideas he once defended, lauded, know Cruz cannot be a Constitutional president, unless we accept that the Constitution, as written, and decisions of the Supreme Court may be reversed by the legislature and executive. He knows the truth. So does Tribe’s other student, Barack Obama, but Barack didn’t have to throw himself on the sword of history by lying about his citizenship status.

Obama correctly defined himself as “native-born”, but never a natural born citizen. Native-born comes from the language of the 14th Amendment meaning born on our soil. He knew his alien father violated the constitution, but Barack, like Larry Tribe, told us he doesn’t regard the Constitution as current law. He subscribes, like Larry, to a “Living Constitution”. He told us long before he was “made” president, that to valid he wanted to add a block of positive rights, as FDR told us he wished to do.

Well you can call Cruz organized but guess what the Senate has refused to give him?

Mitch McConnell: Why no, the Senate won’t pass a resolution affirming Cruz’s eligibility like it did for McCain

Cruz is going to have a tough time cashing in on all his delegates.
