Big Win For Trump In Michigan
Stumpin for Trump ^ | 4/9/2016

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.

Come on. You know it’s true. The process is corrupt. Unless of course it favors Trump. Then it’s great again.

Not surprised, his SuperPAC is running ads against Cruz in New York, even though the goal in NY for both Cruz and Kasich is to keep Trump under 50%. He also campaigned, albeit unsuccessfully, in Wisconsin even though he was clearly going to finish third, outlier Optimus poll aside.

No he didn’t. Anyone listening know what his stance was.

Ten months and you folks haven’t got a clue what Trump’s beliefs are.

Okay then, Trump laid it out there and the moron fell for it, adopted it, and cooked his own goose.

Trump is brilliant

The delegates ARE the voters. That’s how this entire primary system works.
But now that Trump has wised up and joined the GOPe and hired an experienced Republican insider , he stands a chance of winning the delegates vote.

Good chance Teduh could be gone by years end with all the scandals that's around this guy. If he can still practice law he should chase ambulance. It can be a lucrative shake down business.

The difference is Trump is not accepting the corruption and Cruz is embracing it. That is a big difference.
