Cruz showed up and made it happen. Why couldn't Trump?
We both know the answer.
Cruz invested the time and money to build a national organization. He took the time to learn what the delegate selection process is for each state. What infuriates Trump, and I suspect his supporters as well, is he is getting beat at the "art of the deal".
Made what happen?
My initial comment was to ask whether anyone can recall a losing candidate in the past who went to state conventions and tried to scheme and maneuver to have delegates who were actually loyal to a losing candidate, appointed to supposedly be delegates for the winning candidate? Faithless delegates, or double agent delegates.
Did Santorum try that in 2012. Did Huckabee try it in 2008? Can you name anyone who has ever tried so underhanded and dishonest a scheme to try and thwart the will of the people during delegate selection as Ted Cruz is trying to do?
Can anyone name a candidate who has ever tried this before?
