Yeah, I have noticed the same pattern. In every situation where Cruz wins, it is only because Trump was cheated somehow, but when Trump wins, then everything is fine, except of course little Marco or "Lion Ted" still probably did something, somehow, vague and unexplained that probably, somehow resulted in stealing EVEN MORE votes from Trump.

A candidate DOES need to make a personal appearance if he wants to sway delegates at a caucus. And he actually needs to supply a list of delegates to the party LIKE THE RULES REQUIRE!
Man, I hate to agree with Cory Gardner, but when he's right, he's right.

Does a military ID or Student ID set out the address of the person, so that the poll volunteer can confirm that the person is voting in the correct precinct? If not, then it is NOT a valid ID for the purposes of voting.

Does your father NOT have a DL or Photo ID? If not, it would certainly be a kind gesture on your part to assist or find someone who can assist him in getting one so that he can vote in the upcoming general election!

They don't call him Lyin' Ted Cruz for nothing. He earned those stripes.
Yet, even without a 'contest' cruz received those delegates. I'd say he won, even tho trump didn't play.

I'm not really into sports, but if one team shows up and the other doesn't show up, it would make sense to me that the team that showed up receive the 'win' for that game. I don't know if that really happens, but it seems like it should.

This illustrates perfectly why Cruz is a scumbag and his supporters are gullible fools. The mental gymnastics required to craft or support a statement like this that may be technically accurate while at the same time deceptive and misleading is exactly what is wrong with our political system. The fact that people actually believe that the ability of a person to make misleading statements that are only factual when parsed within an inch of their life makes them good leadership material is why our country is doomed. A sleazy lawyer hungry for power willing to say and do anything to get it is the last person that we should vote to put in charge.

That's right, he won by cheating and disenfranchising voters. Someone who is okay with going about becoming a leader by these means is a very dangerous man. How he has supporters, or how people defend this process is beyond me.


Meanwhile, Donald Trump picked up an extra 12 delegates in Missouri the old-fashioned way; people voted for him.

Cruz is disliked for being dishonest. Trump is disliked for being TOO honest. I pick Trump for being the better man.
