Cruz has at least 19 of the 25 North Dakota delegates with him. These are all unbound, and could change, it is worth noting two pro-Trump delegates were voted off the original list.

Once again, Ted does well where the least people vote.

These small conventions and caucuses are GOPe controlled. They’re a write off. More important primaries are coming, and then reality is going to hit home hard.

“Once again, Ted does well where the least people vote.” Ted is the King of Anti-Democracy.



To: Iowa David

Just my humble opinion but I do not think governors, wives and A.G. should be delegates. Stinks bad.

Ted is the King of Anti-Democracy. Whew, that's a relief. Because we live in Republic, not a democracy.



To: DoughtyOne

he has won what 3 primary states, hardly impressive and that includes his home state and a neighboring state of OK where he got less than 50% Here in FL there is no enthusiasm for him and I know many who said they would not vote for the guy or any other establishment guy.

not for the establishment what we all were against it doesn’t. Now some not only wants to help the establishment , but they also find it funny over their corruption. Before all of this nearly all of us and yes certain freepers I know and have seen were against the establishment and now they fully endorse them and their corruption.

He also does well where he can cheat. It's not Ted Cruz cheating. It's the GOP leadership writing rules that are designed for the purpose of giving the party control, and then Ted Cruz using those rules to his advantage. It's not cheating when you bluff successfully in poker, and it's not cheating when you win a caucus by getting more supporters there than the other candidates get. That's playing by the rules. [It is cheating if you count the votes dishonestly like the democrats do, but as far as I know that didn't happen in ND] I'm happy as long as the delegates were chosen by Cruz or Trump, and not by Kasich or his supporters. If Trump and Cruz have a combined 80% of the delegates a week before the convention, that will be the time for deals. Cruz will have a strong hand, and Trump will have an even stronger hand. As long as they both understand they're going into a crooked casino, I expect a positive outcome from their pre-convention negotiations.

Trump doesn’t need a single delegate from ND or SD or CO to get over 1,400 plus delegates. Cruz works the margins while Trump wins the states that matter.

“Whew, that’s a relief. Because we live in Republic, not a democracy.Except in a Republic the people choose who will Represent them.” And in a Republic, citizen vote for Representatives. Who voted for these people?



To: Red Steel

Here is the reason Trump's campaign sucks. There are 51 delegates in NJ and trump has to be considered the favorite. I'm sure they will get the 51, but waiting until the last second often doesn't bode well. So far in New Jersey, Cruz has filed 45 delegates, Trump 24 and Kasich 18. Filing closes tomorrow at 4 pm.



To: manc

Those are my thoughts too. I’ve voted for my last GOPe stooge.

So far in New Jersey, Cruz has filed 45 delegates, Trump 24 and Kasich 18. Filing closes tomorrow at 4 pm. Kasich just doesn't have the manpower to find enough delegates (sad, but true). You have to be able to figure out, more or less, whether a delegate is likely to support you even when no longer bound to do so. Even Cruz, with his highly praised ground game, isn't there yet according to your count (which I trust but have not checked). There is no excuse for Trump not to have filed at least close to a full slate of delegates in NJ; that's practically his home territory, and he has to have enough supporters that he could have identified.

Team Trump's predictions were worth their usual. They were "popping champagne" over the way things were going in ND yesterday.

He also does well where he can cheat.

********************************** Oh BS, Trump had the only congressman of the state endorse him, and he helped pick the recommended delegate slate. Cruz went and handed out his own recommended slate, and won 18 out of his 23 on the list. Trump is so unpopular that his preferred delegates had to hide who they were supporting, because they knew no one would vote for them.

Don’t blame Cruz because your candidate is so unlikable.



To: kara37

Not BS at all. I’m talking about the dirty tricks he pulled in Iowa and other places. Ted is not a good man - he is a dirty, underhanded weasel.
