Ted Cruz isn’t giving up.
While Donald Trump dispatches three advisers to Texas’s convention in Dallas this week and makes a pitch for party unity, his team will be running up against a Cruz operation that is still maneuvering to stuff the state’s delegation with allies the senator could call on to snub the presumptive nominee.
“We have a busy weekend planned,” said a source familiar with the Cruz campaign’s plans.
Cruz is scheduled to deliver an address at the Texas convention after a week of hinting he could jump back into the presidential contest and urging activists to thwart the New Yorker’s takeover of the GOP’s policy platform. And despite dropping out of the race more than a week ago, the vanquished presidential contender has deployed at least one paid adviser to the Texas Republican convention – Tyler Norris, his state director. (Trump has three advisers: state director Joshua Jones, deputy director Eric Mahroum and Houston-area director Kayla Hensley.)
It’s not just Texas where Cruz is still playing.
The senator’s team remains active in several of the other eight state conventions selecting delegates this week – from Nebraska to Oklahoma to Nevada. Those conventions, along with party meetings in Arkansas, Florida and Wisconsin, will be selecting 389 national delegates, nearly a sixth of the entire convention.
If Cruz were still working to send the nomination fight to a contested convention, this weekend’s delegate hunt would have been the main event – the largest single delegate selection weekend of the primary season. Now, it’s become a display of Cruz’s last hardcore bastions of support and a forum for Trump to appeal for unity.

Everyone should be required to prove American citizenship before they are admitted to the convention. OK with that, Mr. Cruz?
I bet he has hurt the evangelical movement
‘He is and always has been a mawkish conservative lawn jockey in front of the globalists’ manor.’
What an image—bravo!
I was repeating the term of the naysayers: “gibberish”...OBVIOUSLY I agree with a moratorium but it looks like Rudy is opposed to it.
You may be right, but I don’t know. I find it difficult if not impossible to trust Ted Cruz,
So now it’s up to me to show the evidence necessary to discredit a liberal rag source? A liberal rag that has been laughed at incessantly and far left and parroted by the MSM as cutting edge journalism? Are you that serious? And FYI don’t assume that just because a conservative questioning a laughable source posted on what is presumed to be a conservative site is automatically a Cruzer.
He is making sure that Trump doesn’t break any of the laws that our Uni-party people have passed...sorry if I offended you...didn’t mean to...
LOL!
(He stood up down there on the floor, we just can’t see it. He’s like Jason from Friday the 13th.)
Problem is, the name being bandied about for a primary challenge is George P. Stay OUT da Bushes!
It’s like I’ve awaken in the Twighlight Zone. Conservative site sourcing political pieces long stood behind on this site = now bad.
A piece that purportedly has Cruz still actively campaigning from a liberal site a step below DU and financed by some of the most blood sucking unamerican pieces is Sh...= credible and to be believed and warrant conservative site analysis
Unbelievable
Was only commenting against the comment you supplied....I know you didn’t post.
I get a feeling that “it’s personal’ now with Ted.
Care to provide a list of credible conservative news sources?
Ted burned up on reentry.
I understand. I worry though abt Rudy as he seems more liberal on this. Am tweeting him right now
The big question is will Texans condone this behavior? I hope not.
Does anyone go to the Kentucky Derby and not place a bet?
And, oh yeah. After all that time on the campaign trail, it’s surprising they weren’t home with the kids.
In my mind, the issue is hypocrisy.
I was called an “ass” for saying that same “stupid” comment. Imagine that Bible thumping Lyin Ted at a
place where there is drinking, gambling and swearing.
Yes, the hypocrisy!
indeed he was. And buddying up to Bevin.
“Gibberish???? Yes, he appointed Rudy to look into how to do this without violating any laws....you have a problem with it???”
Precisely. The laws are there. We don’t need another raft of laws that aren’t enforced if they are only a pretext for another general amnesty. And they would be if we left it up to Uniparty.

See the last page, The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA), enacted in 1996.
Even a Democrat got it, ten years after the `86 `Ally ally in come free!’ act: “Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave...For the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process.”
(Barbara Jordan, February 24, 1995 Testimony to House Immigration Subcommittee)
Of course, Clinton didn’t do jack, just kicked the can down the road. Then ten years later Bush II tried for another general amnesty, of course with more legalsoft-soap gibberish.
Hey Uniparty, you and your administrative judges—we the people could have done without the San Bernadino Islamic killers!
Trump is right, again. Go Rudy! Flush them out.
