The St. Louis County Republican Caucus was held today at the Missouri River Township Caucus at the Westminster Christian Academy – near highways 40 and 270 this afternoon.
Lloyd Sloan was at the conference today.
Here is his firsthand account:
There were two slates that were voted on today at the convention. One was called “Cruz” and the other “Trump.” So there was no confusion there. The vote took place by a public count. It’s when there is a standing vote and everybody is counted off. It is pretty above board. The vote was tied, 27-27. But a few people in the center of the room did not vote. One guy got up and voted for Trump. So Trump won the standing vote.
I proposed a motion to combine the two slates. The chair chose to ignore my motion. It was seconded but the chair, Mark Dunn, decided to ignore the motion.
At that point the chair entertained a motion to do a secret ballot because he was a Cruzer and the wrong guy won. The motion was presented by the head of the Cruz delegation who put together and submitted the Cruz slate. It was seconded and voted on.
And, surprise! Cruz won the secret ballot!
At that point I led a small group of Trump people from the room, saying, “You wanted a divided party. You got one.”
The delegates plan to contest the results. We are collecting evidence to show what exactly happened.
I saw what I saw. I walked out. It was highly irregular.
Ted Cruz lost Missouri to Donald Trump.

Ted is only to earn votes legitimately. Most here do not really GET IT.
I will tally his actual votes in his key win states that were targeted by their size and style. He primarily is wining fractions of percentages in these caucus states. These are back-room marginal wins not demonstrative of the overall election.
It explains how and why he lost every Southern state and battleground state. He will get a can of whoop-azz opened on him in the remote chance he survives till November.
Don’t be angry.
You will still be able to cheer for Cruz when he is back in the senate
shutting down the govt every 6 months or so.
LMAO at pic!
No where in the history of Republican primaries has someone been as slimy as Ted Cruz who has attempted to act like he won a state that he actually lost.
No where, When Dole ran, no other challenger tried to connive and finagle their way to taking delegates. It’s disgusting and Cruz owns this type of very BIZARRE unprecedented type of behavior and it is just one other reason for his downfall and eventual loss. People do not like a scam artist. Especially such vocal and proud scam artist of disenfranchising actual voters.
Well we been dancing around that for months, it's about time somebody said it.
Who is this “Marco” you speak of?
You Cruz people who think this is OK to do have sold your honor and dignity. Just because someone can do something, does not mean he should.
Remember “ God is not mocked, and whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap”
Excellent graphic!
I will write in Trump's name if needs be and will then VOTE STRAIGHT TICKET DEMOCRAT DOWN BALLOT.
I have NEVER voted dem in my life. Ever.
Quote:
“Yawn. Politics is a blood sport. If Trump cannot deal with this, how will he deal with the Clinton machine? Bitch bitch bitch, whine whine whine.
Just fight fire with fire and prove that your campaign can withstand this political onslaught. Time to get to work Mr. Trump. The nomination has to be won, it isn’t going to be handed to you.”
Okay, how do you “deal with it.” Thugs with billy clubs? Brass knuckles? Chains? You did say it was a “blood sport” didn’t you?
“CHEATIN’ TED.
Trump is right about LYIN’, CHEATIN’ TED”
And this is such an honorable Christian man??? I don’t think so. I could not even hold my nose and vote for Cruz.
Cue the Obama/Cruz team cheering in 3.2.1....
Values and all that you know.
Cruz has turned into exactly what everybody hates about washington and politicians. Screw what the majority of the people want, they know what’s best for us.
So says a man who doesn't know the difference between who's and whose.
Why should we believe him?
You don’t have the right stuff to understand that honor is not deceit in any shape of form, except in war, and this is not war. These are democratic and free elections that demand an honor code without exception.
We do not lie, we catch liars.
We do not steal, we catch thieves.
We do not commit fraud, we catch those who commit fraud.
We are the enforcers of the law, not the lawbreakers.
“Cruz’s supporters are like Muslims, in that they believe, lying or cheating for Teddy is acceptable, after all, Jesus wants teddy to win.”
Exactly. And they scream there is something vile with anyone who dares call them out and they deny cheating.
They are Party FIRST, country last. Trapped by their inability to rise beyond labels.
So sad.
Behold, The Anointed of God: Ted Cruz. /spit
“
Secret ballots are the American way; what is the man’s complaint?”
Interesting how many here believe the unions should not have that right,,,,,but it’s ok when Cruz camp does it.
Same.
Cruz and his faction of immoral supporters are being exposed for their dirty tricks. Actions like Cruz snakily going after delegates who are supposed to represent their fellow neighbors who voted that Trump won are very disturbing. People like this mimic the leader, in other words, this Stinks from the head down that these people are willing to steal majority votes from citizens in their own community.
