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.

I’d call it unAmerican, but after all this is Cruz we are dealing with.
The only wall Trump is building is the one between him and the Presidency. The man is a joke.
get ready for blood tiger.
What was Ted Cruz doing in 2000?
He was studying up on Al Gore election tactics, and hiring John Roberts onto the Bush team.
Such a swell guy...
“Politics is a blood sport.”
I hope you have repeated this to yourself each time Obama has trampled on the Constitution.
Charismatic Ted the Pentecostal prophet of dominionism.
2000, not 2001
“Cruz’s supporters are like Muslims, in that they believe, lying or cheating for Teddy is acceptable, after all, Jesus wants teddy to win.”
I guess that’s why some people call them ‘Cruzlims’.
Election fraud: it’s not just a Democrat thing anymore.
PING!
“Politics is a blood sport.”
NO, it is not. If that were the case then why didn’t someone just shoot the cheating bastard?
.
Big sis said to expect this kind of attitude from the boy.
Hey, look - he's got the Democrat talking points even - sure, everyone knows Cruz shut down the Government, because Obama says so....
He happens to be ahead of your snake handler in delegates for the moment.
Don’t be sad. You will still be able to follow Cruz’s deminished career
in the senate.
The question this brings to light is why were the voters afraid to vote their conscience in the public ballot? What threats were they facing from Trump’s gang? Something akin to Roger Stone promising to pass out the hotel room numbers of all the delegates at the national convention?

wow talk about Banana Republican
This is developing into not the person that got the most votes
but the person that can steal the most delegates
and that both Republicans and Democrats side
With Hillary snake and Sanders I don’t like Sanders but he is the one guy the dems seem to want
at this rate it’ll carry over into the general why we even bother to vote...at this point it’s just who the biggest crook that will get the to be president
Cruz and Cruzbots: total amorality.
Yep, I went to the MO Caucus today in MO too and the people there were for Cruz. I am so tired of the Cheeto puff man whining and crying because he can’t keep up . #Cruz2016
Cannot STAND Kasich, but Cruz has become mafia like in trying to become President. Disenfranchising millions of primary voters.
Trump / Kasich if that is what it takes at this point because Cruz has played dirty and unfortunately lies like a rug any chance he gets.
