The way to defeat this is to get involved and replace the insiders. This is exactly what Ted Cruz has done. These Cruz delegates aren't GOPe. They are the ones getting involved and changing the party for the better.
Ad the Wyoming convention, Cruz's biggest challenge didn't come from Trump. It didn't come from Kasich either. It came from 'uncommitted'. There was a sizable contingency of delegates united in seating 'uncommitted' delegates at the Convention. That's your GOPe. Those are the delegates that are going to try to change the rules and get someone like Ryan in there.
And which candidate showed up to oppose these GOPe delegates? Ted Cruz. Cruz has changed the party in Wyoming. He has changed the party in Colorado. And he has done it by starting at the grass roots level and getting people involved - making phone calls, sacrificing their time, showing up, and networking. And you condemn him for that?
The only candidate in this race working to unseat the GOPe is Ted Cruz.
....”The only candidate in this race working to unseat the GOPe is Ted Cruz”...
That’s exactly right.......and he’ll bring down the GOPE house of cards if people would just open their eyes and see what’s happening......unfortunately all most here are doing is waiting breathlessly for their next Trump feeding or whining about the process....because of that they are missing the plays and the game itself. Like cheerleaders on a field who don’t know what’s actually going on until they’re called on to cheer.
Please reread my posts. I didn’t mention the name “Cruz” as far as I recall, much less “blaming” him. My objection is to the rules they set up in Wyoming. Simply stated, they fly in the face of even the GOP national rules for how the party, including state parties, are to be run. They state:
PREAMBLE:
...”It is the intent and purpose of these rules to encourage and allow the broadest possible participation of all voters in Republican Party activities at all levels and to assure that the Republican Party is open and accessible to all Americans.”
Can you understand that less than 1% participation is not “allowing the broadest possible participation of all voters in Republican party activities”? If not, there’s nothing else to say, really.
