Texas Senator Ted Cruz is dismissing charges from the Trump campaign that his recent delegate victories in states like Colorado and Wyoming are a result of an unfair and arcane primary system. In a interview on The Sean Hannity Show, Cruz accused the Trump campaign pushing a narrative that claims that the primary system is rigged.
"All of this noise and complaining and whining has come from the Trump campaign because they don't like the fact that they've lost five election in a row," Cruz said on Tuesday. The Texas Senator noted that 1.3 million people have participated in the recent contests despite some calling them 'voteless elections'.
"Republicans are uniting behind our campaigns so they are screaming on Drudge--and it's getting echoed--this notion of 'voteless elections' it is nonsense," Cruz said.
Cruz credited his grassroots support with his recent string of successes. He also explained that Trump's loss is not a result of skulduggery on the part of his campaign, but on a lack of organizational skill from Trump's.
"Donald Trump's campaign does not know how to organize on the grassroots, and so when the delegates are elected the real conservative activists show up, they elect delegates and we are winning those elections over and over and over again," Senator Cruz explained to Sean. "I cannot help that the Donald Trump campaign does not seem capable of running a lemonade stand."

Cruz is self-serving.
Cruz is delusional!
Heard a Cruz campaign rep on CNN...this appears to be the new meme...Trump is in disarray, can’t figure out the delegate battle, can’t run a business (Trump steaks, Trump wine, etc.)...of course this meme will disappear like Teddy Bear after the next two weeks. I also bought a bottle of Trump wine in Virginia last week...can’t wait to open it!
And yet in election after election, Trump is winning.
Well, I think it’s time we concede Cruz is the expert on running lemonade stands. It’s probably a pre-req for being a lobbyist anyway.
Cruz has made politics his career so at some point he is going to have to consider his own professional survival.
Maybe he should just let Glenn Beck and Carly campaign for him. I think he is feeling the strain just a bit. Understandable. It’s not an easy process.

No...he’s a Harvard educated lawyer/Senator/politician...he can’t help it.
That’s a very open term, “Amazing...”, it could go either way. IMO, Ted is obsessed with Trump. He can’t speak without an utterance. Great advertising though, for Donald!
Cruz couldn't win the vote for 5th grade class president, let alone the presidency of the USA!
The Donald has done nothing for this country. Absolutely nothing. Anything and everything the Donald has done is for the benefit of the Donald himself. He has given nothing of himself. It is the Donald who is self serving.
Cruz is crashing in the polls now. What happens to his momentum after he loses the next 6 contests, often placing 3rd?
He is done.

If Cruz destroys the Party at the Convention then loses to Hillary, he is finished politically - BUT if he quits, he has a bright future.

Yes, Cruz is a narcissistic jerk - and exactly why he will likely quit before Cleveland. Narcissists don't often commit suicide.

I'm going on record as predicting CRUZ QUITS BEFORE CLEVELAND in a magnanimous gesture to save the Party gaining future leverage & goodwill.

Does narcissistic Cruz at age 45 seem like the kind of man to destroy his career just to stop a man with whom he largely agrees on policy?
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016
People say Cruz will stay in to the end out of ambition - but political suicide is not ambitious. Being the guy who "savedthe Party" is.

Cruz going to Cleveland would be the equivalent of a Kamikaze pilot diving into an enemy ship. Bad for the boat, worse for the pilot.

American needs to run by warriors , not by lawyers
Yes, Cruz IS stupid...VERY stupid, delusional, and now bordering on the insane.
bkmk
Those are two VERY different things! Dr. Fukino should stick to medicine and not dabble in constitutional law. I don't care if he was born in the Lincoln bedroom! If Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama, Senior (A British subject from Kenya) is Mr. Obama's father, there is no way he is a natural-born citizen!! Native-born, perhaps, but that's not what the constitution calls for.
Forced memes seldom work.
You don’t know ANYTHING factual about Trump; you poor, blind, biased child.
