Cruz to trounce Trump in Virginia delegate election
Politico ^ | April 29, 2016 | Kyle Cheney

Ted Cruz got crushed in Virginia on primary day, but even Donald Trump’s forces believe he’s about to stuff the state’s national convention delegation full of supporters anyway. Virginia GOP insiders with knowledge of the state’s delegate selection process expect Cruz backers to overrun this Saturday’s state convention and use their numbers to guarantee that the 13 statewide delegates to the national convention lean Cruz.

Well, the way I meant it was he was actually an “establishment elite” cowardly sheep like the GOPe instead of an “outsider” wolf fighting the establishment....

That’s a fine example of art imitating life.

It would be better off getting a lawyer to fight the executive order to give felons voting rights.

Ted Cruz: “I am the king of voterless states!”™ And now, voter deficient conventions!

To the contrary such states are not "voterless" or "voter deficient." It's just that the voters are Republicans voting within the local Republican Party conventions, according to rules established long before Ted announced he was running for the nomination.

2009 Trump was trying to expand his wine business and needed to get the state political machine off his back.

Trump has been candid and open about donating as a businessman to both parties.

Cruz on the other hand, failed to disclose his Goldman-Sachs loan on his filing as was required by the FEC.

Its irrelevant at this point. Trump will easily have 1237 plus delegates for a first ballot win. After Indiana next Tuesday Cruz will have to leave the race if he doesn’t want to face eggs and tomatoes at his rallies.

“Trump on the other hand, will not only destroy and evict those GOPe thieves and liars from the party, he will utterly destroy Hillary Clinton in the general election and we will have one rare and final chance to restore our Republic, return to a true two party system and guarantee that We The People “have a choice, not an echo”.”

Moreover, if Hillary hits Trump below the belt in the coming months, I believe that, barring a pardon, Trump will PROSECUTE her once he is elected.

It is time for the voters to heat up the tar and start plucking the feathers.

It would be nice if the voters took the names of those apparatchiks who sold out against the people.

None should ever run unopposed even for dogcatcher, these political whores must be nipped in the bud.

Boycott any turncoat delegate who betrays the voters.

I would agree but it won't work. Trump gets it on the first ballot and their intended treachery goes hidden in the woodworks. The next election cycle they make their own history with no evidence otherwise.

“BS Meter: Man the lifeboats!”

Yes, indeed, because in the April 19th Hannity interview Cruz didn’t say, “I am the king of voterless states!”

But this is just a replay of Cruz’s antics in the Senate, in retrospect serving more as a disruptor than a winner.

I don’t particularly care if you want to have a beer with him or even if you think he’s not a Natural Born Citizen.

The mother of the Crown Prince of Jordan is an American so he must be a Natural Born Citizen too, right?
