Team Cruz is much, much better than Team Trump at understanding and taking advantage of each state’s distinctive primary or caucus rules

Translation: Cruz is much, much better at lying, stealing, bribing, and cheating.

Trump is crying but he gets 22% more delegates than the proportional vote; more than any other candidate. Without that bias, his lead would be much narrower.

I CRY FOUL!!!

lol

It is clear that Jennifer and Patrick Germond did not thoroughly vet the delegates they sent to the state convention. They are just as incompetent as Team Trump.

They sent their delegates to vote for the best candidate, yet were upset when they didn't vote for Trump. Crazy.

The only debate that didn’t include Trump was a huge loss for Ted. Ted’s lost debate after debate and he still can’t stop whining like the loser he is.

I cannot even begin to see the rationality in his supporters when they lose the home base of the right, and states that you need in the fall (sometimes in 3rd place) and then still come onto FR and flap their gums like they do.

The only thing they have left is stealing delegates and teaming up with the Gope to rig other states.

I’ve noticed that they all but stopped talking about any actual issues, just bragging about how they are going to just rig delegates to supposedly hand this louse the nomination.

I took them out of the little baggy you keep on your wheel chair, next to your dildos.

Let me guess. Trump supporter, right?

Even if Cruz won the primary, he would loose CA by 40pts to any RAT.

Just as Trump winning the NY primary is pointless, because he would lose to Hillary there by 20 points... But this is about winning the nomination, and step 1 is getting to an open convention.

Manafort is a big part of why Cruz is surging everywhere.

And some do, for the right type of delegate. They also include a stipulation that you must reimburse the campaign for the value of the sponsorship if you vote any other way than pledged until such time, if any, that you are released. I’ve actually seen these type of agreements at the county and state convention level.

Yes, Cruz is clever at getting delegates but not voters.

And somehow Cruz supporters think he can win the General election with these tactics?

The overall picture is presently: Cruz - Surge; Trump - Fail.

If the Party wants to control the whole process, be honest and PAY for it.

If you are talking about Colorado, the party DID pay for it. One of the reasons they went back to the caucus from the primary in 2002 is because the state would no longer pay for the primary.

Cruz still loses to Hillary in the head to head matchups.

And Cruz would go into the election without the Trump voters.

>Trump even snubbed Colorado while Cruz was in person on the ground.

The only people snubbed in Colorado was the voters who dididn’t get to vote for a canidate. But hey Cruz sure does brown nose the GOPE well.
