Nineteen of Cruz's slate of 20 delegates were picked for the Republican national convention, meaning that at least 19 out of the 23 delegates Maine will send to the convention in Cleveland will be Cruz supporters which would benefit the Texas senator if the Republican presidential-selection process goes to multiple ballots.
Back in March, Cruz won Maine's caucus contest, grabbing 12 pledged delegates versus nine for Donald Trump and two for John Kasich. The delegates who were chosen in Maine are bound to reflect that allocation on the first ballot of voting.
But if no presidential candidate wins a majority of the 2,472 delegates, then many of these reps would be free to support the candidate of their choice after a first round of voting at the convention.

Exactly.
Do you know what "~" means? Kinda funny teally.
I agree with all your excellent posts!
No...Please tell me...even if it makes me look like a fool.
Now I do.
The tilde (~ , pronounced TILL-duh or TILL-dee and sometimes called a “twiddle” or a “squiggle”) is a special character found on most keyboards and used in a wide range of IT-related applications, including mathematics, programming, file systems, directories and URL addressing.
In some operating systems, including Unix, the tilde is used to represent the current user’s home directory. On Web server systems, the tilde is used by convention as the first character for any user’s home directory in the file system. Since users often keep personal or business Web pages on a server under their personal home directory, you will often see the tilde as part of Web addresses. As a mathematical symbol, the tilde means “approximately” and in logic it means “not.”
The tilde is one of the 128 alphanumeric and special characters in ASCII, the most common standard for electronic text exchange. The tilde happens to be ASCII character 126.
She’s out there licking the lids.
Sad.
Reading it to mean “not”, I get your humor. LOL
I use it all the time. I’ll consider someone else.
Go Trump, Go. Go Trump, Go. Go Trump, Go.
Yes, pre-IT ~ was used in mathematics for approximately and “not”.
I was curious why you had chosen it.
Yes, I’ll go with your correction on Maine and LePage: Because of LePage, it’s definitely not papa bush’s state anymore.
To me it looked better than a dash.

Sorry Ted. They’re demanding hard cash this year, the folding kind.

You realize much of what you brought is the GOPe/Cruz campaign/enemedia's narrative/talking points of Trump. No one here is buying in to that anymore.
You might want to read up on these, it pretty much destroys the bad guys narratives:
I was told yesterday that Trump is a liberal Democrat. My reply:
A FReeper discussion on the history of Trump's conservative pro-America positions
You might want to catch up before you continue to make a fool of yourself.

Another Pyrrhic victory for a dunce who thinks he’s wearing a new suit of clothes.
