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.

Cruz might think he’s smart because he’s a dishonest cheat, but he’s going to have to meet his maker without any pants on, and we’ll see just how smart he is then.
They don’t call him lyin’ TedCruz for nothing.
Unable to accept the fact that Trump was late to the delegate game, you resort to name-calling. LOL!
Sigh. So a secret vote is an evil thing now. Really? I suppose open threats and free viewing of votes to make sure people vote “the right way” is OK with some of you?
Lyin’ Ted’s reputation precedes him.
Even the cabbies in NYC say he’s a liar!!
LOL.
Works for me.
When you report a stolen delegate to the insurance company, do they pay market value or replacement value?
outsmart=outslime
Maybe you trumpers should back off calling Cruz a Hitler or a Muslim and tell your boy to get on the ball and play the game.
When did he have your vote, Chris?
First of all, there was no guy who stood up and voted for Trump in the public count at the last minute. That did not happen. If it did happen then why would the Trump Slate Leader, Todd Lifka, allow for paper votes without protest? Furthermore he signed off, literally, on the final secret ballot votes. Todd Lifka was the Trump Slate Leader, not Lloyd Sloan.
Secondly, there was a motion to vote by secret ballot for the Slates and Lloyd Sloan tried to stop the vote. He was not recognized. I would not have agreed, as Lloyd correctly pointed out, to split the Slate anyways. If that was brought to a vote it would have been defeated. The vote was to use secret ballot and that motion passed 30-27.
Third, the secret ballot was on paper and Caucus voters wrote either Cruz or Trump. Todd Lifka, Missouri State Representative Dean Plocher (R-89 who acted as Parliamentarian), Credential Committee Chairman Tony Jokerst, and I, all witness the paper ballot counting and Cruz won the Congressional Caucus vote. No one stole an election or ripped anyone one off. Trump simply lost the Missouri River Township Caucus.
The first vote was on the Congressional District Slate. The Cruz Slate won 29-27. At that point Lloyd made his statement and stormed out. The Sate Convention vote was called and voted on. Cruz won 29 to 20.
All the while some lady video recorded our proceedings without asking us. The recording will show there was no late standup voter. It will show that the Trump Slate Leader, Todd Lifka, said nothing about being ripped off or a deciding vote cast at the last minute. As previously written he witnessed the counting of the vote signed off on the vote with signature and left resigned that they had lost fair and square.
Judge Jeanine is eviscerating the lying GOPe for this delegate process.
Saying whatever happened to our votes counting??
She’s doing a great job of hammering this issue.
Sounds like another Trump delegate fail!
Exactly. Great point.
Thank you for this on the scene report.
It certainly makes the previous hysteria from the trumpers look foolish.
But, then, they usually do.
Serpentine is an adjective, an apt description of a Serpent. Serpent, therefore, pretty much fits Cartel Cruz tactics for corrupting the people’s vote, to a tee, for free, for the GOPEE.
Next?
( My “LOL” to follow, after California closes, on June 7, 2016. )
Thanks, Liz, like crazy thanks. Unbelievable what is going on out there. Even the locals are enabled by the Establishment, running caucuses and subverting democracy.
The delegates names and who they supported was written on the TN ballot. We had to vote for both the candidate plus in my county 12 or so delegates who were listed as supporters. THAT has been usurped after the election by the TN RNC and CRUZ.
Stick it.
You’re pathetic lies are disgusting.
“The rules of the game” are not “I didn’t like the vote, so it doesn’t count.”
That’s the one-party Marxist way, not the American way. Guess we know which way both Cruz and those of his people who post here prefer.
