Donald Trump still leads the Republican presidential race, but Ted Cruz continues to beat him at a trickier game: securing convention delegates in states that don’t hold caucuses or primaries.

We expect dirty tricks from Clinton, but, not from someone whno claims to be a Christian. Like Trump said: He holds the Bible high, then puts it down and lies. He not only lies, he cheats and steals. These things dhold go over very well with the Lord.

PAUL MANAFORT KNOWS HOW CRUZ FINAGlED HIS PALTRY DELEGATES-—through chicanery, tricks and outright fraud:

<><> Texas MSM reported dozens of voting irregularities in the Texas Republican primary. This ultimately totaled over 600 reports in at least six counties including Dallas County and Travis County. In virtually every case votes cast for Donald J. Trump were tallied for Senator Marco Rubio.

<><> Even though @realDonaldTrump won delegates in Texas the @TedCruz- @georgepbush #RickPerry cabal is refusing to slate Trump supporters.)

<><> Cruz lost Louisiana but poached ten more delegates than Trump. Watch for this to happen everywhere

<><> the Iowa fiasco where Cruz stole Ben Carson/s delegates by lying....telling his voters Carson was dropping out, telling them to caucus w/ Cruz.

<><> In Utah w/ Beck and Romney running the show, the Cruz team emailed supporters the day of the caucus, telling them they can vote absentee that day.......in violation of state law.

<><> Among Cruz/s super-pac funders is “Stand for Truth”, run by his sworn enemy-—Mitch McConnell’s attorney, Eric Lycan.

<><> the receipts inside the most recent Cruz filings show some of the biggest GOPe donors in the DC cabal’s heavy-hitters club.

<><> The Cruz campaign likes to sell a narrative of being an “outsider”. However, the PAC wasn’t created until November 18th 2015 and the recorded fundraising pitch on this thread was December 30th 2015.

<><> The Trump Ballot Security Project’s 800 number to collect further reports of voter irregularities got 300 complaints from Oklahoma; the Kansas and Maine Caucuses brought hundreds of more complaints including claims of double voting by supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz.

FACTS ON FILE Trump has won a huge chunk of states and will go to the convention w/ about 1400 delegates (west and east states have not yet voted). Trump/s nearest competitor is half that——around 600-650——w/ little or no chance to maimize those numbers.

Yet, the desperate Cruz camp wants us to believe via this agit-prop: “In 22 states, more than 60 percent of Republican voters have rejected the Donald...”

Notice how the "anti-vote" is never applied to Cruz or to other candidates.....b/c it blows the argument to smithereens.

REALITY CHECK: even though Trump won in Louisiana, Cruz weaseled 10 delegates more. Cruz is all in with the GOPeers. Cruz is doing to Trump what Hillary Democrats are doing to Bernie Sanders......when he wins he gets screwed and Hillary gets more delegates. Cruz is NOT an outsider by any means and he is being outed in more ways than one.

Breaking News: Cruz Camp Sends Out Letters to Supporters on How to Harass and Steal Delegates

All of Cruz/s activities must be reported....the little scumbag will do anything to win. As in Iowa, Texas, Utah, etc. He lost Louisiana but has ten more delegates than Trump. Watch for this to happen everywhere.

TRUMP BALLOT SECURITY PROJECT
Committee to Restore America’s Greatness PAC
FR Posted 3/19/16 by Albion Wilde

The Trump Ballot Security Project (TBSP) was formed when the main stream media reported dozens of voting irregularities in the Texas Republican primary. This ultimately totaled over 600 reports in at least six counties including Dallas County and Travis County. In virtually every case votes cast for Donald J. Trump were tallied for Senator Marco Rubio.

(NOTE:CRUZ IS STEALING DELEGATES LEFT AND RIGHT) <><> He lost Louisiana but has ten more delegates than Trump. Watch for this to happen everywhere <><> the Iowa fiasco where Cruz stole Ben Carson/s delegates by lying saying Carson was dropping out, telling supporters to caucus w/ Cruz. <><> Even though @realDonaldTrump won delegates in Texas the @TedCruz- @georgepbush #RickPerry cabal is refusing to slate Trump supporters.) <><> In Utah w/ Beck and Romney running the show, the Cruz team emailed supporters the day of the caucus, telling them they can vote absentee that day. This is in violation of state law.

The TBSP established a Toll Free number to collect further reports of voter irregularities. Almost immediately there were over 300 complaints from Oklahoma. Only a week later the Kansas and Maine Caucuses brought hundreds of more complaints including claims of double voting by supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz.

Now we are focused on New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California. To the extent possible, we are attempting to place trained poll watchers in those counties with a recent history of voter fraud.

The Trump Ballot Security Project is committed to investigating all complaints of voter fraud. In the event a pattern can be determined, the seating of these delegations can and will be challenged before the Credentials committee of the Republican National Convention.

We have dispatched lawyers and election law experts to all of the states mentioned above to investigate and document voter fraud. NOTE The Trump campaign is not currently devoting resources to this important function.

TBSP is a project of the Committee To Restore America’s Greatness

What a sad day it is when Trump and Kasich team up and only manage to win control of 1.4% of the convention rules delegates.

American elections have been won by delegates for nearly 240 years. As a Freeper, you already know that, you know that the individual states have the freedom to choose how to select their delegates and you don’t need an explanation of why a republic is superior to pure democracy.

It seems that Mr. Deal Maker may not be the wheeler-dealer that he claims he is. Especially when he can’t out-deal the junior senator from Texas. Or maybe Mr. Trump doesn’t understand the rules.

To be fair there’s a lot of big words in those rules books.

Cruz does great except where there’s actual elections. There he’s down about 20 to 4.

Trump hasn’t won an election yet. We are in the primary season.

I do not want Cruz to get that nomination. The things he's doing to steal the nomination would be enough for civilized countries to implement sanctions on any country that ran their elections this way. I do not want any threats of action or scandals to come (voting fraud, sex scandal, campaign finance, NBC status, whatever). That just gives the Cruz Mean Machine time to prepare.

The only way Cruz is stopped and those who are playing the game with him are ousted if some situation comes along without warning and puts him in jail or so thoroughly humiliated that he has to drop his campaign in humiliation.

Yeah, I've reached that point.

Globalist Cruz is a CHEATER in every sense of the word.

Cruz = Clinton’s cheating = Obama’s Lies = Soros’ Dreams.

Cruz should pull out before he is further ridiculed
and FOREVER labeled a spoiler, like his ‘husband’ RomneyCARE.

This is called “ground game,” folks. It’s well within the established rule sets every candidate knows or should know. Trump’s inability to understand those rules is his failure alone.

Hopefully the Trump campaign will improve soon in securing delegates. It seems winning elections is not enough.

If nothing else, the Cruz machine is good at getting delegates to nullify the People's votes....he'll fit right in after this campaign....

Notice that in prior elections like McCain or Romney, we never were treated to the shadow delegate steal election.

Just this time.

I will not vote for any candidate pulling this crap.
