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.

“so you have never said once in your life or just recently how the GOP stole the election in MS, or how the Dems use voter fraud and cheat?”

Actually I did and if I recall correctly said we needed to fight back and not act like whiners. What I am finding very amusing is I am saying Trump needs to fight back and everyone of you seem to be disagreeing with me. Ok, disagree with me, what’s your solution?

“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.”

Please, I insist you show me where I say I support Cruz. I am saying enough of the whining Mr. Trump, it’s time to get to work because no one is handing you this nomination.

“See, this is how incredibly sad and shallow the Cruz people are. I didn’t even compare Cruz to Hitler, you just immediately (and stupidly) assumed . . . maybe because you know something about your gy.”

“Yawn, forget the people, forget votes. I think it was Hitler who said politics is a blood sport. Yeah, that’s probably right. Let’s cite totalitarians about how to conduct democratic elections.

Typical cruzer.”

Hmm... There is that pesky Hitler comment and btw, it was Aneurin Bevan who the quote is attributed to, not Hitler. So, not only did you not know where the quote came from, you immediately called me stupid for saying something about you comparing Cruz to Hitler.

In other words, you’re the idiot.

That is my fear as well. The dims will use all the in-fighting to their advantage. We can’t have a third term for Zero.

You should be banned for your hatred toward other FReepers who choose to support a different candidate.

Trump has hired Manafort to do the same thing that Cruz was smart enough to do first. Cruz is better prepared and he does not sink to mockery, insults and name-calling. You made your choice of candidate and I made mine. We disagree.

Cruz was not better prepared after losing the south so badly. But the GOPe was with most of the delegates lined up from the party insiders. It boggles the mind why Cruz supporters attribute to Cruz what the GOPe did after they came in. They only needed to claim being for Cruz to stop Trump. However that would not explain why the GOPe is so sure Paul Ryan or another Rino is getting it.

The simpilist explanation is usually the right one. Cruz used the existing GOPe system - he did not create a new one from the shambles of his southern loss.

Cruz lost the South to some degree because of the large field of candidates. We don't know how it would have turned out if some of the players had gotten out earlier- Cruz may have won more states-but maybe not.

The GOPe will ensure a major revolt if they nominate someone other than Cruz or Trump.

If Trump gets to 1237, he better not be denied. He is not my choice, but that doesn't matter, of course.

GOP needs to go away and we need a different party that stands for Constitutional government- a tiny federal government and strong States.

However, if the Democrats win Zero's third term, we may not recover after that to restore the Republic.

Funny I thought we were playing a game of my vote matters but now I’m being told only oligarch votes matter? Sounds like we switched games half way through.

Colorado is changing from a caucus state to a primary. This was determined before Trump was a serious candidate.

I prefer a caucus over a primary, so you should be happy for Colorado is doing the one vote, one count. Caucus is more like the republic that our country was designed to be.
