Ted Cruz lost Missouri to Donald Trump.
Trump was awarded 25 delegates to 15 for Ted Cruz.
Now there is evidence that the Cruz team violated the rules.
The Missouri caucus rules (page 5, #4) does not allow for paper or secret ballots. Here’s the link .
Local Trump supporters are working 24/7 to collect and sort all the information from the St. Louis county township caucuses by the April 15 deadline. The only caucuses in St Louis that appear to have not experienced fraud and/or cheating are the ones that didn’t have a complete Trump slate put forth.
What a coincidence, huh!

During their divorce in 1991, Donald Trump’s ex-wife Ivana accused him of “raping” her three years previously. But she has since clarified it was not in “a literal or criminal sense”.
Ted is merely following in the footsteps of his campaign idol/mentor, Barack Obama.
Cruz supporters have been corrected on this point dozens if not hundreds of times. Like their candidate, they will subordinate the truth to a smear if they perceive it as a way to damage Trump.
For this vote and all subsequent votes of the entire Caucus
Followed by the 2 choices available, voice or show of hands vote.
Get there first with the most men.
Reported by General Basil W. Duke and Richard Taylor
Often erroneously reported as “Git thar fustest with the most mostest.” In The Quote Verifier : Who Said What, Where, and When (2006) by Ralph Keyes, p. 272, the phrase he used has also been reported to have been “I always make it a rule to get there first with the most men” and “I just took the short cut and got there first with the most men.”

Teds a mess indeed!
My new motto:
I’ve UPPED my standards!
Donald J. Trump!
Up yours, GOPe!
Lawyers we love'm.
No doubt, and every time they bring it forth we must do due diligence to post the truth to their snarky lies..
You’re reading it to broadly, please note the rule applies to the Temporary Chair presiding over electing the Permanent Chair and the rules governing how that vote will be conducted.
Rush is sorely testing his lifer listeners and I am one. He is now saying Trump and his supporters are just too stupid to rule if they can't game the system better than the other guy.
The Constitution says Consent of the Governed not the consent of the governing.
I turned on Rush in the car for 15 minutes violating my rule of no longer listening to him or any talk radio. And this confirmed why I no longer listen to him as he is just an establishment tool. RUSH, DO YOU HEAR ME? I KNOW YOU READ FR. YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN CRONY TOOL.
Anyway..He was explaining how this process is well known, the rule book is there and people that are running for president need to read the rule book and hire people to claim their delegates etc... He also said that NOTHING UNDERHANDED IS HAPPENING HERE. Cruz is just reading the rules and is better prepared. LIE.
He also explained how in the case of Colorado, the rules for them not having a public vote was in the rule book for months— and that it was intended to keep out the tea party and favor the establishment candidates because it requires lots of money and canvassing to the many delegates to secure them. TRUE.
But then He said Cruz is an outsider. He never explained how Cruz “the outsider” was able to pull this off when the rules were written for insiders! He totally ignores the fact that Cruz has a full GOPe campaign staff now.
Why is the GOPe being so helpful to Cruz?
Why isn’t the media attacking Cruz by playing the video of the minister introducing Cruz right after explaining how gays should be killed because gayness is a sin? Why aren’t they looping the booger video 24x7 on CNN? Or spreading rumors about his affairs, regardless of whether they are true or not?
Because they are saving that stuff for later!! Wake up people!!
That’s a good point. Otoh, endlessly repeating lies is classic trollish behavior. I saw it with Obama’s sycophants. They’d post a lie, be corrected, and then post the same lie the next day (or sometimes just a few hours later).
The goal is to wear people out, burn up/waste their time, and ultimately dishearten them.
Not sure of the best approach. As you said, you don’t want lies/smears to just sit there unchallenged. Otoh, you don’t want to play their game. Maybe something short and sweet, such as, ‘this misstatement of the facts has been corrected a hundred times,’?
4. Election of Caucus Chair. The Temporary Chair shall conduct an election of a Caucus Chair who will immediately assume the chair. For this vote and all subsequent votes of the entire Caucus, the Chair may conduct a voice vote or show of hands vote.
But it is not restricted to those options.
“Rush is sorely testing his lifer listeners and I am one.”
Well that “that’s not cheating, that’s winning” was a bit too much for me. He will never live that down. His love affair with all things Cruz has turned him into an idiot. I don’t listen anymore as of yesterday.
Not necessarily - it did not say "may only" choose one of those options.
