BREAKING: Cruz Camp STEALS St. Louis County Delegates After Trump Wins Initial Vote!
Gateway Pundit ^ | April 9, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 04/09/2016 4:32:53 PM PDT by McGruff

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.

More… Chaos broke out at the GOP St. Charles convention today when the Cruz camp tried to steal the delegates there, too.

Ted Cruz lost Missouri to Donald Trump.

This post has been shut down by Trump supporters. Cruz team has advised their online team (some are paid to post, not all, but some are on the payroll) to disengage from threads, chats from twitter, Facebook, free republic in which Cruz gets ruthlessly exposed for being shady. They have been advised to stop defending Cruz in order to let the thread die, otherwise even more people would learn about Cruz's dirty deeds, done dirt cheap. Going forward, if you want to shut down an over the top pro Cruz thread which is composed of lies, just post a picture which you referenced or one like the following. Always shuts down a Cruz thread as that is what the Cruz has instructed for his opine supporters to do for now. Also they have been instructed to post positive Cruz threads over and over again on free republic. LOL

Anyone have any information on whether this kind of stealing of a primary election you lost by stealing the other guy's delegates has ever been done on an organized and systematic basis before this election? I don't recall Romney, McCain, Bush or Dole having to keep their delegates under house arrest, or go back to states they already won to worry about state and county party elections. I think this is the GOPe in action, as much as it is Cruz. The thing the party seems to forget is that its voters won't support a party that doesn't care what they vote for.

Yes, cruzbots, this may be something that can be done by playing "the game" this way. It's just never been done, in my recollection, and it's not the way Republicans want the nominee selected, cruzbots excepted.

More of those Canadian values in action.

putin and the mullahs will play dirtier. and they won’t find trump’s army of lawyers very intimidating, either.


Sounds like you’re on board with cheating American voters out of our votes. Well, maybe you’d be ok with being stoned to death for some petty immorality. After all, the mullahs do it, and only a whiner would complain. Try fighting not only your opponents, but your own party and all of the media and big money wall street at the same time. Trump is doing a miraculous job, but the cheaters outnumber him a hundred to one. Jerk.

How was trump successful with the unions? Especially considering he was using illegals.

This must be the Canadian Way.

Because it certainly isn’t principled, Christian or conservative.

Try to build anything in NY, NJ, and Chicago without unions.

That's stupidity talking. Did Romney have to backtrack to states he already won to keep Gingrich from taking delegates from those states?

I didn't think so.

It's not the way to play the game, and when someone is playing that way, then it reduces everyone else to the gutter, too.

It is not stealing. Learn the rules of the game or don’t play.


Read your own tagline, jerk.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light..... Isaiah 5:20”
And woe unto you, you lying hypocrite.

If a secret ballot is good enough for America’s election, it’s good enough for these state delegate elections.

It also makes it easy for the vote counter to be the one that determines the winner. Which is what likely happened here.

That is why he hired Romney’s delegate wrangler, a seasoned political operative and a close associate of, you guessed it, the sleazy Roger Stone. >>

Be worried. Be very, very worried.

And,.... by all means,... stick to the Cruz for Serpent propaganda sites.

The less reality you Cruzlims know, is a great assist to ROUND II.... Trump style.

TRUMP 2016

Cartel Cruz to Lose, 2016

It has NEVER happened before. That is why Cruz is coming off as sleazy, bad sport and organizing neighbors to disenfranchise voters in their own neighborhoods who voted for Trump on instruction from Cruz to disenfranchise their majority of their neighbors who voted for Trump.

This has never happened before and adds to why Cruz is coming off as a sleazy politician who is very outspoken about disenfranchising millions of Americans. Unprecedented.

Blood sport, you say? I agree completely.

Time to start publishing the names, phone numbers, and addresses of the perpetrators. How much are they willing to risk, personally, to overturn the will of the voters?-——————————————————————————

I like the way you think.

No, it hasn’t been done before. It’s not part of the spirit of the rules, the traditions, or something the voters will put up with.

Only a lawyer could come up with this strategy.

Remember that even Romney withdrew as he was getting close to getting mathematically eliminated, allowing McCain to get the formal number without having a mess of a convention.

This is Cruz just slimming the nominee -even if in the end it’s him- and making it easier for the Democrat to win.

Cheer-up.

Ted’s not repulsive,

The DC ladies think

Teddy’s really cute.

His true nature is being revealed, and DJT knew it all along.

All’s fair in love, war and politics. Just wait till Hillary’s enforcers crank up for the general election. If you can’t handle Cruz, you will stand no chance with Hillary-Soros.

Congratulations on a talented wife.
Cruz is not charismatic and he knows it - maybe that is what she saw. I don’t mind if I am the only one in the world I trust him. He has lived and breathed character and conservative principles his entire life. He has morals and class. He is the antithesis of Trump who lies and trashes others all the time and cannot even show class. Cruz meanwhile is respectful of other views.
