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.

you’re completely missing the point. I expected him to fix it. months ago, when he still had a chance at winning a majority of the convention delegates. that didn’t happen, and trump supporters need to ask themselves why the world’s smartest man and most brilliant negotiator has been caught completely unprepared.
ah never mind, I see the link.
You loving trumps butt like some of your fellow scruzebots,you sure talk enough about butts to qualify for the log cabin republicans.
Sounds like you didn’t read the article. A point of order was ignored so the leader could strongarm a second vote. That is hardly playing by the rules. Who do you work for, the IRS?
LBJ was a filthy crook through and through, from long before he even got to the senate. Read the Robert Caro biography to see what a load of conniving, thieving, murdering filth he was. He set the template for the Clintons and Obama.
Looking forward to your well-deserved ZOT.
Looking forward to your well-deserved ZOT.
You do not warrant being ganged up on. You simply served as ping bait for others, on to this particular thread. A short cut, so to speak.
The OP was about St. Louis, not Colorado.
Liar.
You are too much, LOL!
I don’t believe a syllable coming from trolls like you. Looking forward to your well-deserved ZOT.
Crawl back under your rock, adults conversing here.
Looking forward to your well-deserved ZOT.
Ted is helping lead the way in burning the GOP down to the ground.
<<< “ We have a guy on this thread who says that the story is a lie. “ >>>
The guy who says the story is a lie has no video.
The TRUMP supporters have LIVE video at the direct link provided in the excerpt at the top of this thread.
PICTURES ARE WORTH MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORDS.
Think about that when you hear somebody called “the guy”.
Looking forward to the rubble bouncing on you when you get the second ZOT (after your first opus).
I never said you did, I just said don’t if you can’t.
There is certainly plenty of it coming from both sides in this primary, however.
At this point, more than your word is required.
Wow, Al Gore really plays dirty.
Trump is playing Al Gore in this play. He's the sore loser who constantly charges voter fraud.
That is true and it is a shame that civil discourse is no longer possible for some.
