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.

No doubt. There is nothing dirtier than politics.
“Bitch bitch bitch, whine whine whine.”
You must be an idiot.
It is stealing. Cruz is a slimy GOP-e snake.
Ted will outsmart everyone. He can finish 1st place if he just keeps collecting the delegates:

I believe you said it. I feel the same as they know the bastard cheats, is a liar, and he is bought and paid for by corporate America (mainly Goldman Sachs and their pals).
Wow, Al Gore really plays dirty.
Oh wait...
So this is what Ted was studying up on in Florida in late 2001.
I’m surprised Cruz hasn’t been arrested by now for all that stealing. smh
You obviously do not care how Cruz gets the nomination. Sad.
It is not stealing. Learn the rules of the game or don’t play.
Why bother voting if someone like Cruz is going to steal it?

This isn’t outsmarting, this is being an LBJ style asshole who wins on technicalities and gives the middle finger to the will of the people.
Obviously trumpy should have run as an independent to begin with
Cruz and his cohort Jeff Roe, two despicable rats. They can’t win the popular vote so they will usurp or steal the will choice of We the People. How the hell does he expect to gain a mandate of the people with these desperate underhanded cheating ways? He will never gain my vote that’s for sure.
.
Trump expects the state party apparatus to bow to him like the MSM does.
That is graham crackers and milk indolence.
This is nothing compared to what a president has to deal with minute by minute.
Good to see things shaking down for the American people.
.
If a secret ballot is good enough for America’s election, it’s good enough for these state delegate elections. That’s the only way to prevent voter intimidation from Trump’s tyrannical, threatening goons like Roger Stone, Corey Lewandoski, etc.
You think Putin and the Mullahs are going to be scared of one term senator Ted? What will he do take them to the Supreme Court? The United Nations?
Blood Sport was a meme of the Clinton camp.
You both belong with the Clintonistas. Your kind are not wanted in the Party of Trump. Our group has a Code of Honor and you two are going to be blackballed from the group. You are not welcome.
Honor engenders trust, and trust binds voters to their chosen candidate which in turn will be expressed in winning the general election.
We are going to have honesty. Count on it.
Sounds like the process worked as intended. As long as the rules are followed...what’s the beef?
He certainly has outsmarted himself from my vote.
