The Republican convention appears to be facing a rocky opening both inside and outside the arena – inside, from forces loyal to Ted Cruz mulling a procedural fight...

I know, but that is what the RNC is showing for Cruz’s delegate count...they should unseat all of Colorado delegation because my two daughters live in Colorado and they didn’t get to vote...all because of Cruz and this dumb -itch....same thing in Utah...
Mike Lee and Romney tried the same thing, didn’t work here, we did get to vote but it was really shady how it was done...
You are right, he will do nothing to stop it because he mistakenly believes it will enhance him. It is really strange that someone who is touted as being such a brilliant man can not see this. However, I have lived long enough and met enough people to realize that intelligence is really limited in scope, and when it comes to common sense, they are idiots in too many cases.
Scrutinize his prepared teleprompter speech, and then at the last minute substitute Diamond & Silk.
Or delay him until long after primetime, maybe around 1:30 AM with the cleaning crews running loud vacuum cleaners under empty chairs.
Just when you thought FOX couldn’t sink any lower. There will be no glory for these delusional pathetic Cruzbots
He is not even eligible to run for President! I will not ever vote for him.
Cruz is behind this nonsense...if he were not he could simply say so and tell his delegates to stand down. But he hasn't done that, has he? And to think that I was once a strong supporter of he and Ken Cuccinelli. They can both go rot for all I care.
they are trying to generate buzz and excitement.
On Wednesday Cruz will endorse Trump. It may not be wholehearted but he will endorse Trump.
Trading on margin is something that was never attractive to me since I valued my principal too greatly.
However, my understanding of buying stocks on margin from a broker is that the broker maintains possession of the purchased shares.
For example, if I purchase $100,000 worth of stock on margin I might be expected to put up $20,000 and the broker will lend $80,000 toward that purchase, retaining the shares themselves.
The broker then monitors the account to ensure that the shares retain sufficient value to pay off the loan. If, for example, the share prices dropped to the point that it would take 90% of the share values to pay off the loan, then the investor receives a "margin call". That is, the broker contacts the investor and expects the investor to put up more cash so that the margin is re-established.
If the investor is unable to meet the requirements of the margin call, then the broker sells the stock, pays off the loan, and returns any residual to the investor.
So, my question regarding Cruz is: How could Cruz make use of stock shares that by law must be retained by the broker?
The charge against Cruz doesn't make sense to me. What is it that Cruz did wrong in this instance? Did the broker violate the law?
THE MEDIA IS LYING LYING LYING LYING LYING LYING LYING LYING LYING
EVERYTHING YOUR READING IS A LIE !
I believe Cruz will stop short of a formal/official endorsement.
Yes, once again they are lying.
But he could have nipped it in the bud if he endorsed Trump awhile back. He wouldn’t do it and now we have this mess.
You provided the operative words. If the shares become worth less than $80,000 before the broker can prudently liquidate, the broker then has a legally enforceable claim for the diminished value. In this setting, the prospective presidential candidate would be obligated to the claim holder.
It was just announced that the Murdochs are getting rid of Ailes. FOx is about to get much worse.
Are you saying that Cruz was purposely remaining a citizen of Canada, but was busted? You have to brighter than that in order to know how to use a computer.
Should have pinged you, sorry {;^)
"Fox News has become almost as Demonic as the alphabet networks."
I'm not sure about demonic, but I gave up on them years ago. Too much hyperventilating about little news stories. A little too tabloid for me.
They certainly have an agenda against Trump it seems though.
