This doesn't surprise me in the least. This is yet another example of Cruz outmaneuvering Trump in the category that matters most in the end: delegates. Trump thought his star power and celebrity name recognition would be enough to carry him through to Cleveland - while this may have been true in the early going, the reality of old-fashioned politics is setting in again.
Really ... Cruz has outmaneuvered so well he is behind by 200+ delegates.
Looks like the Pubs won't nominate The Donald or Lyin' Ted.
That's beautiful.
Preibus to Pubs:
"All you little people in all those primary elections; your votes don't count. WE choose who WE want. Run along now and stay out of our way. But be sure to vote GOP in November."
If the Cruz ground game was so good, he would have won every state handily.
You are new to politics obviously because you keep thinking its about winning states and votes. States and votes mean NOTHING, its about winning DELEGATES. The only reason Trump is ahead right now is because he benefitted from a crowded field where 25-30% of the vote got him delegates. However, there are Rubio's and Carson's delegates that are technically up for grabs at a convention and thats who Cruz is getting. Trump is in way over his head.
HAHAHA!! Well, if political party's aren't known for "scurrilous behavior", I don't know who is. The dems and gop invented the term.
Yeah, but they like to keep the blatant chicanery to a minimum so they can invent some "plausible deniability." If they change this particular rule, a giant flashing red spotlight will come from the sky and shine upon them big time!
