Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% can add Nebraska to his list of states where he’s out organized GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in collecting delegates.
“Party officials say they saw virtually no organization by the mogul’s campaign last week when Republicans in all 93 Nebraska counties held local conventions. Those county conventions picked 800 delegates to May’s Nebraska state convention, where 33 delegates to the national convention in Cleveland will be selected,” Politico reports. “Because there was little resistance, many county conventions became Cruz pep rallies, according to interviews with party insiders and convention attendees.”
“I didn’t see any Trump supporters,” said Washington County GOP member John Orr told Politico.

Trump couldn’t pass a middle school civics test.
Oh, so you KNOW what they did in November 2012! :)
It was because Illinois was a lock.
You are correct about the DNC saving their election cash to spend more money on Obama.
That, and the Walker people were watching like hawks. In the mayhem of a general election, you can get away with more.
Moving forward, Wisconsin now has voter photo ID laws in place. Big city Democrat fraud has been dealt a serious blow. Thanks to Act 10, union political dollars have been similarly damaged.
There wasn't any vote fraud in the primary, since it was an open primary. The Democrats in and around Milwaukee voted for Cruz, the social conservative, in social squish territory. After all, Santorum & Huckabee both got stomped in those same counties in 2012 and 2008.
The Democrats were so sure of the results that they let the Bern & Hillary go at it with gloves off in the Dane County area and the rest of the state, except for maybe Brown County.
That was the tell - the Democrat vote totals in Dane versus the Democrat vote totals in the eastern lake counties.
I think the Dems might have flicked a booger at Cruz & Ryan with the Kenosha totals. :)
57?
LOL.
No, not really, if that were to happen, it would probably just make us all argue with one another that much more!
I keep hearing this meme from the merry band of Trumpsters. The meme is for Cruz to, in essence, surrender and suspend his campaign since “it’s impossible for him to win”.
_—————————————————————
It IS this website owners meme,that I happen to agree with.
Statistically it is certain that Ted cannot get 1237 and Trump will... If he did I would vote for him.
If Trump wins 1237 many of Cruz’s followers will support Donald. Perhaps you see yourself more like a #NeverTrump member.
The Cruz people are guilty as sin. They are guilty of organizing early, participating at the local level, injecting themselves into the system, working their butts off for months on end, and never ever giving up. These are exactly the kind of people I want working against Hillary and the same kind of people I want running our government for the next eight years. I damn sure don’t want another celebrity type who leads from behind.
Correction: “In the mayhem of a NATIONAL general election, you can get away with more.”
Cruz will get blowtorched almost immediately. The sex toys thing alone is an exploding ammunition magazine below the waterline on the USS Ted Cruz.
Would a Trump supporter lie about what Ted Cruz stands for? You betcha!
When did the Harvard trained lawyer turn into a conservative?
- In 1998, Cruz served as private counsel for Congressman John Boehner during Boehner’s lawsuit against Congressman Jim McDermott for releasing a tape recording of a Boehner telephone conversation.
- Cruz joined the Bush–Cheney campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising President George W. Bush on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration, and government reform. There he met his wife, Heidi Nelson Cruz, another policy adviser who works for Goldman Sachs.
- Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devise strategy, and draft pleadings in the Florida and U.S. Supreme Courts during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, winning twice in the U.S. Supreme Court.
- After President Bush took office, Cruz served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department and as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
Globalists are not conservative. Cruz is a Globalist. Therefore hes not a conservative.
Would a conservative help draft Bush’s NAFTA bill?
Would a conservative vote FOR the patriot Act?
Would a Conservative team up with Ryan to push TPP?
would a conservative vote FOR TPA?
would a conservative try to increase H1B visas by 500%?
would a conservative try to double the number of Muslims?
would a conservative side with BLM protestors against police?
would a conservative hand out gift baskets to illegals at the border?
would a conservative lie to his supporters about the fact the GOPe is providing his delegates and he will not win nomination?
WHAT EVERY VOTER NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT TED CRUZ

Time to wake up.
If Trump gets the nomination, I will certainly be supporting him in the November general election.
Those are on the ballot as "non-partisan" races, are they not?
Thanks for responding. Graciously.
It took Cruz about five minutes to wrap the entire Bush team including ex criminal brother Neil around himself. It does not get more establishment than that. LOL!
Thanks for proving my point.
And your point is you want a North American Union.
Thanks for proving Nebraska failed in its duty to announce the Primary.
One thing is clear. It is absolutely true that a liberal will lie about what a Conservative has done.
Okay - I was looking around and there is surprisingly little information on the County caucuses that select delegates to go to state. There was a newspaper article that talked about it - but no dates. It was more focused on the Nebraska Primary Election on May 10 which is the one that really counts. And that information is all over the place.
The delegates elected at the county and state level are “soft”. I believe most of them will be bound to the winner of the Primary vote on the first ballot.
So, in most years it really doesn’t matter who the delegates prefer as most years we have a clear winner at the national convention. That is probably why they don’t make a big deal out of the local caucuses.
That’s the way it is in Washington state where I live. Caucus delegates say who they prefer, but are not bound to them. And, in most years it doesn’t matter as the delegates that go to the national are bound to the winner of Washington State’s primary.
BUT. This year isn’t most years. And it sounds like Cruz recognized that a long time ago. And from recent hirings by Mr. Trump, it sounds like he has figured this out too.
Although I did see on the Nebraska Facebook page a Trump supporter was trying to get out the message before the Caucus:
Randy Webber ATTENTION TRUMPIANS ! Tomorrow ( Saturday ).....Please get up off your comfy couches or recliners, and get out to Vote or Caucus for Mr. Donald Trump ! He needs your Help. He is fighting the entire GOP Establishment, plus a TEXAS Size LIAR and little marco ! We are all sick and tired of Washington. This is our chance to do something about it ! Help Trump “Make America Great Again”. Thanks !

What am I missing here? The delegates are being selected and most will be Cruz supporters - that is true. But when the voters turn out on May 10th and vote for Trump, these Cruz picked delegates have to VOTE for Trump on the first ballot (Winner take all). Correct?
I think you are correct. Each state has different ways of doing that. In Maryland (the blue state where I currently live) each of the campaigns designate who they want as delegates in each Congressional District. So when I swing by tomorrow to (early) vote I’ll be able to vote for my PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE of choice and to vote for my delegates of choice. On the ballot are the list of presidential candidates and you vote for only one. Also on the ballot are a whole bunch of folks running to be one of the three delegates for our district and you can vote for no more than three from that list. The names of the delegate candidates have parenthetical explanation of the presidential candidate each supports —Cruz has three and Trump has three. I’m voting for Cruz and his three delegates. But if a voter wants they can vote for delegates supporting a candidate other than those supporting their presidential candidate or not vote for any delegates.
