Breaking: Ted Cruz makes outrageous statement on voterless election win in Wyoming
Red State Watcher ^ | 4/17/2016

Posted on 04/17/2016 4:26:04 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Ted Cruz on Wyoming win: "This is how elections are won in America."

Once again, voters are not represented in the process. Instead, "votes" for the nominee are gained by backroom politics. Another corrupt process by the GOP establishment.

From Fox News:

Ted Cruz on Saturday won all 14 delegates in the Wyoming GOP convention -- a relatively small number but enough for the Texas senator to declare victory and keep GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump from securing the nomination.

“We are likely to have a battle in Cleveland to decide who is the nominee,” Cruz told party members before they picked the delegates. “If you don’t want to see Donald Trump as the nominee, … then I ask you to please vote for the men and women on this slate.”

The Wyoming process mirrored that of Colorado, which was engulfed by political controversy after hosting a similar convention last week.

cruz was all anti -establishment and even said this in NH.

“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech

he saw here in the south the voters do not want him.
He turned to the establishment and got into bed with them as some on here have and have become Vichy republicans.

now cruz can only win 3 states outside of TX where the voters actually voted for who they want directly.

Then his supporters try and tell us all that cruz could beat Clinton, here in a must win state of FL , well not a chance, A vote for cruz if the voters ever get a say now will be a win for Clinton.

At a certain point, the practical control gets lost in all the high mindedness.

Would we want a process like this to vote a hypothetical king of the world?

The elections in Colorado are caucus type as prescribed by law in the Colorado legislature. Over 60,000 republicans voted for delegates in the caucus.

Delegates are like a box of chocolates..........

Cruz is no longer in this to win. His job now is to create road blocks and throw down spike strips for the disciples of deceit in the District of Decline.

The people in Wyoming, CO, etc. are in charge of their state’s delegate selection

This system basically disenfranchises everyone with a job, or who is not a raving neurotic. When you have people having to jump through all kinds of hoops and actually paying fees just to be involved, you've left the realm of a real democratic system and are, instead, leaving us to the whims of party officials, retirees and the jobless.

I don't see Trump beating Clinton. Ever. Trump is possibly the worst candidate possible to go up against Hillary. The fact that it was Hillary's husband who prompted Trump to run should speak volumes.

You can go on and on about primaries (where people actually vote) v. caucuses (where people actually vote). You can talk about Florida, Virginia, Texas, and New York as well. But none of this really matters at this point. The train has already left the station and it is heading to Cleveland. And in Cleveland, we will find out who our candidate is. Hopefully, it will be the Conservative one who believes in limited government - not the one who promises to make the trains run on time.

Well, there is an addendum to that: banksters, lawyers and other people who don’t have to work from 9 to 5. I saw a Goldman Sachs employee posing as a conservative Ted Cruz supporter over in Colorado.

Regular people who don’t have the freedom to engage in such a process, however, can’t be involved.

cruz is destroying us all fro the White House, he is so intent on stopping Trump that he doe snot care now he pisses off millions of voters who could not vote because the establishment made the rules where voters were denied so the party can get their guy in and stop who they do not want.

It is a disgrace.

Cruz can't beat Trump since he's alienated literally millions of people and can't even get 50 percent in national polls against Trump, even in polls where Kasich is removed. Polls by major media showing Trump losing to Hillary, and Kasich beating Hillary, are only believable by retarded Cruz supporters and GOPe rank and file.

Kasich would lose as badly as Romney did, but, supposedly, he does better against Hillary than Cruz does.

Believe it or not he will be forced to drop out or his political career will be ruined. Cruz cannot stay in long after hitting the mathematical wall and coming in third behind Kasich in many of the NE primaries. He is on life support now.

(Ted Cruz on Wyoming win: “This is how elections are won in America.”)

Not in my America. Get out of our election, you Creepy Cruz, go run for El Presidente of Honduras or Cuba with you voterless elections, the Republican Party is becoming a shame to the entire world if that isn’t already possible.

America may be actually in need of something that looks more like the French revolution, to address a complaint that has been made about Trump.

Because the high mindedness of indirection hasn’t worked very well for the last few decades. Cruz is assuming the presence of an elite wisdom that just isn’t there — and that gives us a government that is monstrously out of touch with the little guy. Better that we get closer to a true plebiscite, which is still on the main more conservative than what we have now with our indirectly appointed government.
