Ted Cruz isnt giving up.
While Donald Trump dispatches three advisers to Texass 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 states 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 campaigns 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 Yorkers takeover of the GOPs 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.)
Its not just Texas where Cruz is still playing.
The senators 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 weekends delegate hunt would have been the main event the largest single delegate selection weekend of the primary season. Now, its become a display of Cruzs last hardcore bastions of support and a forum for Trump to appeal for unity.

Problem is, the name being bandied about for a primary challenge is George P. Stay OUT da Bushes!

YIKES!!!!
Good point about the tax return hit pieces timing.
It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall in that meeting!
(I won’t be there but my prayers will!)
LOL!
Your Rant Number Two was much better constructed than your Rant Number One. You at least personally attacked the article author. Still, you have yet to refute a single item in the article that you claim isn’t credible.
Cruz has become evil incarnate. lucifer like.
We’ll know soon enough.
If after the meeting, Ryan states something to the effect that strides are being made and the process of uniting continues, he’ll bring the taxes up, either himself, or in response to a reporters question.
If it goes down something along those lines, I hope Trump just goes nuclear and calls for him to recuse himself from all convention activities.
Now for rant 2 then :-) I’ll have to dig further on the validity of the claim. I tend to not believe article from Jason Blair reporters or even read them until other sources validate the claim. But I do promise to dig
You are right. I just gotta be patient! I hope Trump refuses to compromise and be compromised too!
“But I do promise to dig”
I think you should.
Would you believe.....this AM in my email was ANOTHER campaign solicitation for whatever. It was geared to Mothers and Mothers Day! Did Cruz lose track of time??
THAT has to be one of the most hilarious graphics I’ve seen yet! Kudos FRiend!
If that's all there is to it, fine. But any slack cut Ted when he suspended his campaign will be withdrawn if he engages in convention shenanigans.
LOL! I think we’ve been getting them too, but Darlin and I have just been ignoring them. It seems that whenever someone - anyone - starts a fund raising effort, and they have names on a list, It. Will. Never. Stop.
I read them out of morbid curiosity. It’s like something out of a Frankenstein novel, watching the second power couple fro ‘ell devolve into something really creepy.
That seems to be going around a lot this year. Not only seeing Ted and Heidi being exposed but also it appears Bill and Hill may be getting a bit of that themselves. Trump is only warming up!! :-D
Cruz thanks you for the information. Hope he follows up on it : )
” God was asking for more money!”
Oh I dunno......it’s worked out well for Osteen.
Have you seen his 20 million dollar Georgian colonial mansion in Texas?
“THAT has to be one of the most hilarious graphics Ive seen yet! Kudos FRiend!”
A classic Twilight Zone episode fins new meaning with Cruz : )
Posting grade: A +
Are those resources close to his Canadian Law Office?
