It looks like Ted is getting a taste of his own medicine. CNN reports from Lansing, Michigan;
Ted Cruz suffered a rare convention loss Saturday after delegates backing John Kasich and Donald Trump boxed him out of key positions in the Michigan delegation.
The Texas senator’s campaign ran eight delegates for eight committee spots and lost every one, alleging it was “double-crossed” by Kasich supporters.
The Michigan delegation picked one Trump supporter, Matt Hall, and one Kasich supporter, Judi Schwalbach, for the two seats on the powerful rules committee. The Cruz campaign lost votes for both seats.
The rules committee seats have become highly coveted prizes for their role in shaping a contested convention in Cleveland. After the delegates are selected in each state, they meet as a group and pick the members of four convention committees, the most important of which is the rules committee, which will ultimately decide who can be nominated president.
Michigan Cruz leader Saul Anuzis said they were “double-crossed” by Kasich’s campaign. The Kasich delegates were supposed to vote with Cruz delegates, he said, but switched sides and voted with Trump behind closed doors Saturday afternoon.
Kasich’s delegate director in Michigan, Jeff Timmer, said the Cruz campaign broke their end of the deal when they tried to win all eight delegation seats.
He said they finished their slate of Trump and Kasich candidates about 10 minutes before walking into the delegation meeting.
“The Cruz campaign tried a takeover and they failed miserably,” Timmer said. “It backfired and they ended up with nothing. There’s been all these reports about how they’re out-organizing everybody. Not here.”
Trump’s national delegate director, Brian Jack, called it a “big win” for Trump.

Aren't those must have numbers on the right great?
That guy is on fire. I’m not sure what he’s feeding his ground game people, but they’re in overdrive.
The vote on 04/19 and 04/26 is going to be historic.
We’ll be tell our grand-kids about it.
Ted will have dentures and be mumbling something about that —— ground game!
Trump played the game here, joined with a RINO and came out with a delegate or two. As a Cruz fan, that is playing within the rules of the game and I am not going to pull a Trump whiner game and post 6 conspiracy threads.
Congrats Trump.
Thanks!!!!!!!
Delegates for the 2nd ballot? That’s for establishment cheaters. Who needs that? Bunch of commies.
Oh wait, does he have a book?
Felito explains how you toss a decent political career in the ash bin of history, buy the numbers...
NICE!!!
Is this Manafort’s magic coming into play already ?
It’s been too shlong a time comin!
Wow, someone else not buying Ted’s horse stuff.
You actually think I care? I don’t have an issue with the candidates playing by the rules.
You bet.
What?
Thoughts:
(1) Even the Kasich people are now saying that Cruz tried some underhanded tactics.
(2) Trump will deport the two guys in the picture, especially the one who said that the Bronx is “on the cutting edge of climate change! People are dying!...”
(3) Whoever planned that Bronx stop for Cruz needs to be fired
LOL ! let’s hope and hard ...
Ah, that would be Trump himself explaining why he didn't do well in Iowa...it's his "New York values". Had to explain his liberal positions on things like abortion and the 2nd Amendment.
Ted’s the establishment cheater when we-the-people aren’t on his radar.
He will win with voters. Cruz has to sell himself out since he lost the entire east coast from north to south except Maine. That is a true loser.
