Senator Ted Cruzs supporters are mounting an effort to seize control of the Republican platform and the rules governing the partys July convention, the first indication that Mr. Cruz will not simply hand his delegates over to Donald J. Trump.
In an email sent Sunday to pro-Cruz convention delegates, a top aide to the Texas senator wrote that it was still possible to advance a conservative agenda at the convention.
To do that, it is imperative that we fill the Rules and Platform Committees with strong conservative voices like yours, wrote Ken Cuccinelli, who was the campaigns former delegate wrangler and a former attorney general of Virginia. That means you need to come to the national convention and support others in coming, too!
Mr. Cruz is planning a Monday evening conference call where, as Mr. Cuccinelli writes, Mr. Cruzs former officials plan to discuss what we can do at the convention to protect against liberal changes to our platform, and how we can right the wrongs in the rules from 2012!

Wow, the insanity continues.
Not that we are surprised.
I’m surprised we don’t have more Cruz pimping than we already do.
(I am guessing you’re showing up what’s happening out there in Beck-type la-la land).
The difference is that the others who promised are career politicians. For them, making promises they know they can’t keep is part of the game.
Trump is a businessmsn. Making promises you can’t keep in business is a quick way to ruin the brand/business. Trump believes in his brand, and that goes for his tenure, God willing, in the WH. He will do all in his power to keep his promises because to do otherwise would trash the Trump brand.
s/b “showing us” - oops
Will someone please tell Mr. Cruz that he is dead politically for 2016, and he is only making it worse for himself in 2018, 2020, 2022, etc.
He’s Dead, Jim!
I preferred Cruz until January. The change had nothing to do with any kind of God like attributes ascribed to Trump. Nor was I angry at Cruz (yet).
I simply decided that Trump was the better candidate, and had a lot of good reasons for backing him.
I did get angry at Cruz when, instead of being a conservative for free speech and unifying with Trump against the #blacklivesmatter and Bernie thugs, he blamed Trump for their violence.
If you weren’t upset by that, I’d suggest you’re the one with the idolatry problem.
I wonder what entity produced that meme?
“...but a few of us still care about conservatism. ‘
Yeh right! So that’s why you backed an ineligible Canadian-Cuban who is such a POS those who know him hate him, is that it? As used today the word “Conservatism” has become a pejorative term. Sadly, that term has been unjustly used to describe men like Cruz who are simply using it as a means of fooling folks like you into voting for them. I’m just glad Ted won’t be able to get near the White House, unless he applies for a bathroom attendent’s position. If he does, I’m sure he will mount a fight over towels or toilet paper!
He lost it quite some time ago.
say no to bad trade (obamatrade that ted enabled)
say no to bad immigration policy
say no to neocon wars
no budging to the faux conservatives on these issues
Cruzaholics would be wise to get out of the way of the Trump train.
Cruz is a fraud.
His little meltdown the afternoon of the Indiana primary and his constant provable lies about Trump showed he belongs nowhere near the Oval Office.
Thank God Trump dispatched Lyin’ Ted, Li’l Marco and Low Energy Jeb.
I received a new letter in the mail this afternoon from Teddy, kicking Donald and implying he has a plan to block Trump from getting the nomination even if he gets the 1237... by taking control of the committee and changing the rules.
Ted is a scorched earth cheater. Fortunately Trump is a bulldozer on steroids.
no.
he is not.
got my fund raiser today on the west coast... attacking donald and alluding to his plan to block him apparently with some kind of procedural blocking in the committee prior to the convention.
seems like 1237 will not be enough... ted has another trick up his sleeve. part of it involves getting money from me...
heh heh... dirty ted.
Release the Krackens
....or else....boom, crash, bodies scattered all over Cleveland.....
Cruz is going to be lucky if he is even let into the convention.
If you are able to scan & post the letter here, I would appreciate it.
Trump may have won less than 50% over all. But he went in well over 60% in New York State. And as he moves across the primary he’ll win 50% or more in the remaining states. So that argument doesn’t work.
