Election versus Delegate selecTED.
Posted on 04/14/2016 10:45:21 AM PDT by House Atreides
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.

Hey Corey, keep up the good work Bro!
Actually, Paul Manafort said they do have their act together and are keeping Trump’s delegates where he won. Paul also said Cruz is cheating across the board, that those who went into these Cruz swamps don’t even want to be Republicans when they come out because it’s so crooked.
They are “challenging many of these credentials”.
“Party officials” are not the voters.
Losing a battle to win the war.
It is amazing how many GOPe and the establishment are willing to keep America in the cess pool that they are now in and do not want change. These jackass will only make the rule over their lives worst. Only Trump can change things around for the people's better.

True dat. The voters were all the Republicans who actually showed up to participate and vote. Republicans who didn’t want to bother CHOSE TO NOT VOTE.
In conclusion..... Waaahaaaaaaaa!
Again, not one “vote” was cast for Cruz!
This is part of the behind the scenes, boring ground work that has to be done when running for the top job, even in the Age of the Internet. I’m sure it’s repetitive and tedious.
Making headlines for complaining about the process will not be enough. Cruz seems to have accepted this, as he continues to
explain and campaign. Donald still doesn’t seem to think he needs certain parts of the country.
What’s wrong with a simple primary? As an aside, many people lay blame of the Reagan defeat in 1976 to the fact that Mississippi and a few other states die not have primaries or had convoluted rules designed to thwart Governor Reagan’s efforts.
the establishment will never allow all states to have primaries as they will see their power diminish and their guy losing al the time.
All these states are used to their votes meaning nothing since everyone usually drops out by the time they vote. Trump really needs to get it in gear in these flyover states that gave up trying to matter a long time ago. This time, they DO matter!
Just because the voters want Trump is no reason for their representatives to represent the voters.
Hell, save time and money, do what CO did.
Even if that isn't the case, his ignoring the flyover states doesn't herald a great future for them under a Trump Administration. He can keep his urbane bicoastalcentricity.
Nebraska is likely to deliver 5 electoral votes for whomever is the GOP nominee in November. New York hasn’t delivered a single one since Reagan’s 49 landslide in 1984.
Holy Cow! That was on Breitbart?
I would have expected whining.
Again, not one “vote” was cast for Cruz!

True dat. Cruz is not a Nebraska resident registered as a Republican. Nebraska residents registered as Republicans were eligible to show up, participate, “run” to be one of their local county’s delegates/representatives to the May State Convention which will pick 33 delegates to the national convention, and to VOTE.
I know this is likely too complex for you to understand...so, go ahead and waaahaaaaaaaa!
