Despite trailing in national polls, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was handed all 14 delegates up for grabs at the Republican Party convention in Wyoming this weekend.
And billionaire Donald Trump is claiming it was the result of payoffs, plain and simple.
Wyoming delegates are awarded through a convention process featuring party insiders, not average voters. And candidates have been known to wine, dine, and promise all sorts of favors to these delegates in exchange for their votes.
Rather than play that game, Trump largely bypassed the state. In a telephone interview Saturday on “Fox and Friends,” he said: “I don’t want to waste millions of dollars going out to Wyoming many months before to wine and dine and to essentially pay off these people, because a lot of it’s a payoff, you understand that?”
Trump’s defeat in Wyoming follows his shutout earlier this month in Colorado, where he failed to pick up a single delegate of the 34 in play. He has urged his supporters to protest the results to state officials in that state.
Campaigning in New York on Saturday, Trump said, “I guess I’m complaining ’cause it’s not fair to the people.” In Wyoming and Colorado, he said, “the people never got a chance to vote.”
Cruz, in an interview after his speech in Casper, said Trump’s decision not to campaign in Wyoming is telling. “The reason he decided not to show up is he recognized he couldn’t win, he couldn’t earn the support of conservatives in Wyoming,” Cruz said.
Saturday’s sweep for Cruz follows his victory last month in Wyoming, when he scored 9 of 12 available delegates at county conventions. Trump and Marco Rubio each won one delegate last month in Wyoming while one remained undecided.
Trump still leads the overall delegate race. The AP delegate count: Trump, 744; Cruz, 559; and Kasich, 144. Needed to win: 1,237.

Like a banana republic.
What ever that means.??? Boo Hoo.
My friend from Florida said”
In May of 2015, four Colorado Senate Republicans killed an initiative “to create a presidential primary in 2016,” reported the Denver Post. “Under the bill, Colorado would have held a presidential primary in March that ran parallel with the state’s complicated caucus system… when it came before the Senate Appropriations Committee, four Republicans voted to kill the bill with three Democrats supporting it.”
The four Republicans who voted against the initiative were Sen. Kevin Grantham, Sen. Kent Lambert, Sen. Laura Woods, and Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg.
On Cruz’s campaign website, Sens. Woods, Grantham, and Lambert are all listed as Cruz supporters and as declared members of Cruz’s “Colorado Leadership team.”
I’ve been a registered Republican all of my adult life, but now that I see how the RNC manipulates the process, I’m done with the GOP.
My wife and I worked 45 days, 7 days a week, prior to the Florida primary for the Trump campaign. We know, first hand, just how dirty the RNC can be. They tried to pull their shenanigans in Florida, but when they saw that Florida voters would have no part of their ploy, the RNC took their bag of dirty tricks to Ohio.
There in Ohio, the RNC formed a Kasich, Cruz, Rubio tag-team to stop Trump and they were successful. That was the turning point in the campaign and now it appears the party may be irreparably divided.
We had a front-runner poised to take the White House in November and then…
the RNC stepped in.
I and everyone I know are done with RNC. Lawyers. I will vote them all out including Judges. This isn’t over yet I think Trump will get there yet. I sure hope so. These lawyers need to go. I would like to take a Cannon and put him inside and shoot Rafael Edwardo Cruz back to Canada where he can be Prime Minister there.
All U Trumpos do is Whine whine whine when you don’t get your way.Well just maybe the REAL “Silent Majority” doesn’t want to elect a DICTATOR like Crump!
What ever that means.??? Boo Hoo. Horn news Fuck you
Oooooh, that was intelligent.
Hey, Jim “man”-
Don’t like it here? There’s an “unsubscribe” button on every newsletter that The Horn sends out. Click, and disappear like the Wicked Witch of the West, you semi-illiterate dingleberry. Maybe you’d be more valuable in Canada, pimping Cruz for the next PM…’cause after all, here he’s committing Fraud by even RUNNING; he KNOWS he’s not “natural born,” and canNOT serve as president. He’s just hoping that as many Americans remain as Constitutionally illiterate as they were when voting for D’OweBama, that’s all.
Tell ya what: i’d SURE love to be at the next “Town Hall” meeting where i could ask that criminal a few pointed questions.
Could we also ask Lyin’ Ted a few questions as well?
I don’t understand why every comment I make on the forum generates a “awaiting moderation”
I hope Lyin’ Ted gets what’s coming to him in the area of fraud
Yep – all it takes is money… alliances are bought and old every day. Trump knows this, but I am proud that he is not playing that game as a Presidential candidate – he wants the people to vote. As a businessman Trumps knows how to play the buy-in favor, so I like his integrity to let the voting public decide. LYIN TED is a another story, we all know his game – he gets along with no one.
Exactly!! LyinTeds true colors are showing for everyone to see. It’s great to see many people finally dropping off the Cruz wagon..this is dirty politics at its best.
Well I used to be a Cruz supporter also but his true colors began to show through and I climbed aboard the Trump Train and am happy to be here.
I love you for joining! I have been on Trump since day one!
Your an idiot! Cruz is the most conservative candidate in years. Trump is a pathological liberal liar. Trump say he is the only one that can get deals done. Another lie he is being out smarted by a guy that knows what he is doing. Sorry! Trump you can con a lot of the people but not all the people.
You have it totally backwards. Cruz is the fraud. When will you dummies learn not to trust lying shyster attorneys? Obama, Clinton, Cruz, most politicians are attorneys and they have robbed us blind. When will you learn?

Brads-
Gotta love it; you criticize someone with great intelligence by writing “‘Your’ an idiot.” Hilarious. It’s spelled “You’re” as in “you are,” not the nonsensical “your an idiot.”
And like Debdell says, you are 180 degrees out of kilter; while you may THINK that Cruz is “the most conservative candidate in years,” he’s UNQUALIFIED FOR THE PRESIDENCY iaw the “natural born” REQUIREMENT, the LAW, you know? SUPREME law of the land?
He was born in Canada to a former Cuban national who became naturalized in Canada so he could stay there, same as Ted’s mom; neither of Cruz’s parents could stay in Canada more than 30 days after their tourist visa expired WITHOUT applying to be citizens of Canada, and BOTH parents registered to vote AND VOTED there, something ONLY Canadians can do; in addition, Canadian law FORBADE dual citizenship until several years AFTER the Cruz family moved to Texas.
So, you tell me: how is Cruz “natural born” when BOTH of his parents were Canadian citizens at the time he was born, and he was born IN Canada. He’s a natural-born CANADIAN, but he sure as hell is NOT a natural-born AMERICAN. Hell, he isn’t even a 14th Amendment citizen. He’s just committing an IMMENSE FRAUD by soliciting donations for his “presidential” campaign while he KNOWS he’s not eligible. He should be TRIED and CONVICTED of that fraud, then required to refund EVERY DIME.
Maybe after proof-positive comes out about his adulteries and whore patronizing, the Evangelical “christians” will realize that they’ve been made damned fools of. Frankly, i think most of ’em have NO CLUE what “natural born” means, and have no intention of looking it up. They prefer to be stupid sheeple, i suppose.
I was just wondering do any of you folks, since I’m new to the The Horn, do you also get “awaiting moderation?
Daniel-
IME, if you include a clickable link in any of your posts, this usually results in the “awaiting moderation” warning. You can avoid this simply by stripping the “www” and/or “http://” from the link.
i think this is smart; there are some individuals who will deliberately link to a known infected site so that whoever clicks on it will cause the site that has the link on it to crash(or worse). Review of all links is, therefore, quite intelligent, IMO.
In addition, it appears that certain words or phrases can also trigger a “Your comment has been blocked”(or similar words). One such word, i discovered by trial and error, is(spelled phonetically so as not to trigger it again) “You Sir Pay Shun.”
Cry baby Trump Wah Wah Wah. Little rich kid can’t handle losing plain and simple.
Winning is one thing but people who steal wind up no good.
I do not see trump wining He should take the Gop out and he probably will with all Cruzes dirty doing and thieving. Cruz
thinks he is a big man.. Not the case
It works both ways. This is a Republican nomination process not a national election. States sovereignty still means something to most conservatives. In South Carolina Trump won like 45% of the vote but got 90% of the delegates. Did you hear Cruz or anyone whining about it? Trump is supposed to be the Master in the Art of the Deal. He is getting his ass handed to him by Cruz and all he can do is whine and fabricate stories about how unfair it is. Were he to negotiate with Putin he would again get his ass handed to him because he is lazy. He doesn’t put the work in to do the job right. He spends about ten minutes preparing for a debate and then just calls people names. His supporters are as dumb as Obama’s were because he is simply offering hope and change with virtually no substance. What a friggin loser.
It is impossible to steal a delegate. Every candidate knows how every primary is done. They all agree to these rules. Trump is either too stupid or too lazy to campaign. He tweets and calls his rich friends for free air time. He is now playing the I lose I still win game. He whines and says poor me, I am being cheated. He is the biggest fraud since Obama, and George Soros is behind them both. All he wants to do is knock off Cruz. If Cruz wins, he can beat Hillary. If Trump wins, Hillary beats him easy with his past. Either way, his rich elite life is left undisturbed. If Cruz wins we get an honest conservative, and that scares him to death.
Yes that’s true when will we be 4I’d of the big cry baby. He just mad because he does not know the rules
jdp…If the Dems know Trump can’t beat Hillary they would be pushing trump winings to further their goals, but thats not happening asHhillary is attacking trump. Trump has not gone after Hillary much yet, but just wait.
Well I live in Colorado and happen to know I had no opportunity to vote or have any say in who those delegates selected and I myself am a Trump supporter. So unless you live in one of these states that gives its citizens no opportunity to have a say in who our next President might be, I think you can take your comment and stick it. Its not sour grapes. It was just the wrong thing to do.
So are you a registered Republican? Did you work within the cuacus? Go to one of the numerous district conventions and vote there? No, well that may explain why you had no say in the Republican nomination process of Colorado. Sit on your ass at home and then whine and cry about what those who are putting the work in do. You sound just like Trump.
Thank you for speaking up. It is just common sense that it is not a government by the people and for the people if the people can’t vote and if they can vote their vote can easily be circumvented by the corrupt establishment elite. Ahole “spike” who has answered here thinks that every person living in your state can go participate in the Caucus. Such fools don’t realize or just have a corrupt interest in a corrupt system designed to keep the money and power in the hands of those already in power. We don’t need delegates to vote for us – it is just another layer of complexity designed to be manipulated by the corrupt establishment should the need arise.
Trump plays straight…not the slimy tricks that Cruz plays. As a citizen and voter of USA, I want the elections decided by the voters…not by corrupt means. Cruz can’t win fair and square. Plus no matter what he does…he’ll never win the General Election!
Trump has never played straight. Ask his ex-wives!
Patriots vote for Trump. Fools and the corrupt vote for lying shyster lawyers that have shafted us every time in the past.
Larry342516 Cruz is using other peoples money to pay off the delegates. While Trump is using his own money. That tells you how frugal Trump is and how he will spend Americas money.
Why because he earned every penny!!! Cruz is continue to beg barrow and steal every day I get an email for another contribution.
How is he going to run the country when he can not even manage his own campaign???
Cruz voters wake up, he is going to continue to drain you dry. How is he going to create jobs, he can not even fund his own campaign without taking the shirts off of the Americans backs.
Isn’t it time we get a real leader who really leads. He is not perfect, but he is 100 times better then any other candidate on the platform.
Trump is a doer and a creator, while Cruz and Kasich are beggars. They are only still in the campaign because foolish people are will to spend their hard earned money on two candidates that have really never accomplished anything on their own. And actually in this case Kasich is far superior then Cruz in this matter.
I understand Kaisch is being backed by Soros. If this is true now I know where his money is coming from. He was supposed to be broke by the end of the New Hampshire Primary.
Wow! The real world of politics! Thank you Mr.Trump for enlightening a lot of us. Why have a primary if one is not permitted to vote? Colorado got cheated!!!
hey dumb ass cruz lies and is a wife cheater . how do you think OBAMA GOT ELECTED. RIGGED VOTES AND HIGHER VOTES THAT WENT TO ROMNEY TURNED INTO VOTES FOR OBAMA. THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED.
THEY DID THE SMAE TO SANDERS IN IOWA THEY HAD MORE DELEGATES THAN KILLARY AND THEY GAVE THEM TO HER. DON’T TRY AND TELL ME YOUR VOTES COUNT. MUST SUCK TO BE AN AHOLE LIKE YOU!!!. .
You are 200% on target and I too am glad Trump is not playing into buying delegates. I don’ t even understand why we need them. This is suppose to be a democracy a country in which Freedom and the individuals right to vote and be counted. Here in this day and time two states have been disallowed to vote. That in my opinion is illegal and totally against the right to vote which is in the constitution same as right to bear arms and freedom of speech. I will walk away from both parties and vote on an independant ballot in the final voting poll and that vote only has one name on it, that name is DONALD J TRUMP!!! A MAN OF INTEGRITY WHO REFUSED TO BE BOUGHT!!!
Way to go Anna! I, too, will,do likewise!
Go Trump! Our country needs you!
Now you know nothing is Illegal in Politics if you can be ”bought!”
CRUZ outsmarted the Whining bIG MOUTH .. YEP he took time to READ THE RULES!!!
Trump is also smart, as he is spending his own money on this presidential campaign and doesn’t have the vast amounts of money that the Super Pacs have. So why would he spend even one cent buying delegates when he can get delegates the right way for a lot less money, just by honest grass roots campaigning, which is working for him, because every time Cruz and co do their dirty tricks in one state, that creates a landslide for Trump in those states where Cruz can’t play those games. Trump is emerging as the straight, honest candidate in this election, and good on him. I just hope he maintains that integrity if/when he makes it to the White House.
Can we STAND more WHINING from this BABY DUCK???QUACKING QUACKING QUACKING…and having PROGRESSIVE LOONS LAUGHING LAGHING LAUGHING at the Prospect that HE’ll LOSE LOSELOSE to Cankles
The Republican Party is in Shambles, full of Corruption, Hate and Lies and evaporating before our eyes. It will have to get rid of most of the establishment to survive, which will never happen because of the Crooked, Corrupt Deal Makers and their Lies. Like many of my Republican Friends there will be no Votes for Sleaze Cruz and Cop Hater Kasich…he thinks Cops are Idiots.
[test]
It’s all rigged, on both sides. The people really never get heard in all this. Explain to me how a primary can be won after voting, and then some fricking super delegate, who is bought off and wined and dined, gets to decide that the “people’s voice” is not heard but instead votes for what he/she wants? What’s thal all about. It’s a sham.
At least Trump is bring out all the scuzz that goes on. This is the first time it has ever been brought to the public.
How disgusting is this? What in God’s name is going on in this our once beautiful country?
Nothing but corruption and underhanded shenanigans.
I for one am so very disappointed in our Political System. Majority vote should prevail always
and that is not happening for sure.
They need to reinstate the Rico Act against the government for all the corruption and racketeering. That is the reason why they are so afraid of Trump. They know he has the goods on them.
Yes he does..I can’t wait til he gets in and cleans the House!!!
We have all been in the ”dark.” it took Trump to bring out the true Politicians..and that makes them ”very afraid!”
What a cheap trick! Trump’s accusation, I mean. He has no evidence to support his allegation. He just expects his supporters to fall in line and believe him.
Yet who was it who has supported Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats, essentially buying influence? Wasn’t it Trump?
Yes as has all the big business men in America if they want to get any thing done. This is what Crony Capitalism does to builders of this nation. Trump is not taking large donations from big business and that is why they are against him.
Trump is “supposedly” not taking large donations, maybe your correct. Instead he “sponsored” a fundraiser for us disabled vets, instead of attending a debate, that he chickened out of because he couldn’t bully FOX NEWS and get the people HE wanted to moderate it. He tried to rig the debate and failed so he took his toys and ran away! Just like any spoiled little brat, so he raised money and ran off with the money he collected. So far less than 22% of the money that he bragged about raising has been given to the veteran groups he said would benefit! If he can steal tuition from kids that thought they were going to get a degree from Trump University, then he could steal money from Veterans groups and try to buy off veterans. That’s pretty sick!!
John Pliska, I hope you don’t believe everything that the TV shows and says. Did you stop and think that if that tuition thing really happened, why the students waited until Trump was running to bring that to light. If that really happened it would have been brought out in the news sooner. Those students that told that were paid off by the establishment to prohibit Trump from getting elected. They will pay off whomever they have too to assure that Trump gets kicked out, because they know if Trump gets elected they will be losing their gravy train.
I have to agree with you Judy about buying off students and even people from the TV show he hosted. Its a set up. Trump and the majority of Vets still believe in him. I think Trump will help the Vets and the homeless some of which are Vets.
The problem is, that they DO! Anything the whiner accuses people of they take up as gospel (if they even know what gospel is/) they respond with vulgarities and vitriol, like the reply above to Jim man above. They assume that if there had been a primary in Co or Wyoming that “the whiner” would have, of course won! The fact is, I’m a Western Conservative and I DON’T believe he would have won in a vote! The rules of the western state delegate selection process has been known for YEARS and he whines because he assumed that a little rich spoiled brat, who supported liberal politicians in NY and was a Democrat in all but name only, should just automatically win in ANY process. He’s finding out that we real Conservatives, not the red neck extremists with vulgar minds and vulgar tactics, aren’t swayed by his supposed brand Republicanism that uses the Bully tactics that only consist of insults and violence toward anyone who doesn’t swoon when he walks into a room! I’m sorry that he is someone who has NO IDEA OF HOW TO PICK A TEAM that would guide him to wins in states that aren’t populated by people who can think for themselves and will do the slightest bit of research into a man whom they expect to be a leader of something as important as the United States, not some casinos. He claims he can surround himself with quality people to lead us, he’s not doing so great, in my book, so far.
John, the reason Trumps main man isn’t doing good is because the RNC is blind siding him at every turn, it doesn’t have anything to do with his abilities to do his job. If you had one of your family stabbing you in the back at every turn you wouldn’t be able to succeed either! Use your brain that God gave you!
Well if you can’t see how horribly corrupt Washington has become then you will never be able to help America recover and ride out the coming storm. China’s economy is being imploded they have death high tech vans that pick dissenters up and KILL THEM. Then you have Europe’s leadership who encouraged this massive wave of Islamic terror spreading over the EU citizens. Riots massive vandalism people being beaten even murdered and children and women being groped or raped. In Sweden rape has increased by 1400 percent. Women live in constant fear of being attacked and 77% of the rapes are committed by Muslim men.
Western culture is under attack and if you don’t wake up you may one day find yourself a slave to a more dominant culture under a Totalitarian dictatorship.
Your entire argument is stupid. Since there was not a vote by the public there is no way to know what that outcome would have been, so you are guessing. The point is the nominees should be selected by the people and not by delegates who are owned by the corrupt establishment. The people in Colorado had no voice in who got elected – that is not a government by and for the people. It is a government selected by the establishment dictators.
He financially supported Democrats and republicans! If you are going to state facts make sure they aren’t one sided. Cruz has been wineing and dinning before and has been accused of it by others besides Trump. He is a politician and that is what politicians do to get delegate votes. When a politician promises delegates certain things for their States to get their votes that us a bribe, and that is exactly what Cruz has been doing. ” VOTE FOR ME AND I WILL SEE THAT YOUR STATE GETS THE FUNDING THAT IT NEEDS.” HAPPENS EVERY DAY, but Trump doesn’t promise anything to them so he doesn’t get their votes!
Yes..there is!!! CO let it out!! When Donald was getting more and more popular this last August the GOP pulled a fast one and changed the rules right in the middle of it. Trump is right on with everything he says about the rigged system. TRUMP 2016!! Our last hope!!
Trump was not a candidate when he donated money. People came to him for money and he gave!!! He also gave to REPUBLICANS! That is what business people do. He is not the only BUSINESSMAN to do this. Running an election like this is affecting the whole country. Cruz has done too many of these ”underhanded” tricks, and people are talking. The whole election/voting system needs to be overhauled to make it fair for WE THE PEOPLE. CRUZ is so proud; he does not care that the people were cheated out of voting. Trump is not the only one who believes this. We don’t need Trump to tell us. WE HAVE BEEN LISTENING.
There are some Americans who love this Country and don’t want it to become a One Party System and so they support both parties, giving to both, the most to their chosen party.
ah_1960-
How do YOU know he has “no evidence”? i believe he does, and will get more, once he puts a few of his many attorneys and their PI’s to work on it.
Ted Cruz has given his loyalty to the elists and I for one, who thought he might be a good President have seen his real side and he is a RINO and a lier.
Thank you Larry, people are ignorant, they see what they want to see. As a Christian I was inclined to believe he was a good candidate, but after seeing a video that cruz was interviewed in when he was 19 and in college, changed my mind. There are a lot of Christians that are voting for Trump, and that made me think that maybe there is something I’m missing. So, I researched him and his wife and didn’t like some of the things they have been envolved in, it didn’t look good. He wants us to have one world government, and that in itself is enough for me to not want him as our leader!
I’m talking about Cruz and his wife, not Trump. Actly I’ve found out that Trump is very family oriented and puts them first. He knows business and that’s what the government is a big business, that needs a good business leader. My opinion!
Judy, Iv’e found out a lot of negatives about Cruz also. I knew you referred to Cruz. There are just too many things against him. Trump may have had family problems in the past; not sure if anyone is immune from problems in their lives. His family respects him, and they are all decent living people. I read a story about Cruz’ family. Not even sure his parents are legal, from the time the father left Cuba, went to Canada, back again. The story stated there are no records of many of the moves they made. His mother voted in Canada and one must be a citizen there to vote, his father was still a Cuban citizen then, so many questions are still unanswered. What I like about Trump is he admits readily to accusations, he is right out there for all to see.
Trump’s kid are as big of liars as him. His dad was investigated by the Government in the 50s or Profiteering charges for over charging low income people on housing. Old Fred paid politicians off to get out of these corrupt charges. Anyone that says Trump is a good man is obtuse. He said he is self funding his campaign . Another Trump lie there are people sending him money. I have never seen so many people being fooled by a another selfish ego maniac liberal.
I Agree…
So often a person can see what kind of children someone has raised and know exactly what the Dad and Mom are all about. Trump has great kids and they all adore him and he them. His ex wives also have a lot of respect for him.
There is a lot voters don’t know about Cruz. He, according to his preacher father, believe Cruz is ”the anointed one” and will be KING. DOMINION THEOLOGY is the basis of their ”religion”, but all Ted will say is that he is Baptist. He has never mentioned DOMINION THEOLOGY. He uses his ”religion” when he is in areas where there are many Evangelicals. Very convenient. Cruz says things which are not Christian, such as the remarks he made about Trump ”copulating with rats”, and that he (Cruz) does not ”copulate with rats”. I don’t believe the remarks came from some issue where this was discussed. It came out of the blue! Who would even think to say a thing like that? That is just one of the sleazy things I’ve heard him say!!
Isn’t Cruz also a member of the CFR?
Glenda-
His wife is, for sure – and it’s likely that he is, also, for the majority of presidents of the United States since the CFR was introduced were ALL members. Many Americans became aware of this, so D’OweBama’s membership has been kept on the QT.
Bingo!!
So many people. So many crooks
Wyoming got brainwashed by the Cuban Canadian creep. Same with Colorado. (Not surprised with Colorado. People drinking the bong water there). Wyoming?? Who knows. We did get Cheney from there. And we know what Cheney is
We the People want a REAL TRUE PATRIOTIC AMERICAN that does NOT want anything. Cruz is a slime ball. A sociopathic brainwashing creep. Cruz is dangerous. And so, so many stupid ignorant people, that have no thought process for themselves, are just deliriously falling for this crap. Rafael cruz and his pathetic wife Heidi (Tammy Faye) will be exactly like what we already have. Those two creeps cannot wait to take over. Get in the WH and finish us off. Ted will have his slew of paid women in the Oval Office within days. He is such a swine. And his Goldman Sachs wife doesn’t care. Keeps him away from her. Yuck. He is repulsive.
They will be vacationing on our dime constantly. Makes me Sick.
American people are so lame. They don’t know what the hell is going on. I blame Americans for the idiots they keep voting for. Americans are stupid along with deaf, dumb and blind.
Wake up We have ONE CHANCE and ONE CHOICE and that’s TRUMP.
All of the others should be sent back to wherever they came from. Start with cruz and send his nasty ass back to Canada
I think Cruz will be dumped if he gets the nomination. They will put forth a slimy fresh face hoping to pass that off to voters but the more slimy their tactics become the more the people are waking up as to how serious this is. China’s economy is tanking. Europe is soon to follow as they wrestle with the Islamic invasion and the burden on its resources. While they have their natives under stress and chaos they will pull the last big hurrah steal of their money. What the globalist elites are banking on is getting people to continue to bank with them. What will come out of all this will be a worldwide war much death and destruction and hopefully at the end of it at the final battle justice will be served to those criminals who think they can hide deep in their mountains.
Yes. The elites want to cram that weazel Paul Ryan (no I’m not interested ) down our throats. That Whiney pea of a man. He is a little puppet too.
They are all in cahoots together.
Remember, Paul Ryan was MITTS running mate. We KNOW what MITT is. Old jerk off. These idiots need to all go out to pasture !!!!! They are all working for US but they NEVER remember who pays for THEIR CUSHY LIVES All pathetic idiots.
Every last one of them!!!!!!!
Wake up Americans. It’s going to be too late.
Awake, I know that they will all be taken care of eventually, my Bible tells me that all knees will bow and all tongues will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. And those that are corrupted will be cast with their master(Satan) into the lake of fire(hell). I personally can’t wait for that day, what a great site that will be, final justice!
We the people of Wyoming didn’t get brainwashed, we didn’t even get the chance to make a choice, Wyoming has been leaning heavily Trump for quite sometime. I use to kinda like Lying Ted, not enough to vote for him but enough that he didn’t make me want to vomit everytime I saw his face or heard his voice. But now he has proven what a lying, cheating sleaze he really is I change the channel every time he comes on so that I won’t hurl.
I think Cruz knew that Colorado and Wyoming were leaning towards Trump, that’s why he went there a week ahead of time to wine and dine and buy those delegates, and it looks like those delegates could be bought, their vote showed that!
Laurie and Judy, I agree with what you both have said. There is so much naive voters don’t know about Cruz. I can’t imagine a delegate being bought. What has happened to our country? We need to ”scrap” the delegate system; I will never understand why we need it. In the past, some believe it was necessary; to me it just says the system has always been corrupt. Naive, indeed, we have been, to believe WE THE PEOPLE mattered to those in government.
TRUMP 2016!!!! True last candidate who will fight for and with WE THE PEOPLE!!! He will truly stand with us.
GO DONALD WE NEED YOU!

While Cruz’s friends from the debate team foresaw a successful career in politics for Cruz, many of the Princeton alums offered that they were deeply troubled by the possibility of Cruz running for president, a notion that one, who did not want to be quoted speaking against a former classmate who is now a senator, called notion “horrifying.”
Craig Mazin said he knew some people might be afraid to speak in the press about a senator, but added of Cruz, “We should be afraid that someone like that has power.”
And the idea that his freshman roommate could someday be the leader of the free world? “I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States. Anyone,” Mazin said. “I would rather pick somebody from the phone book.”
The news of market manipulation by Deutsche Bank comes only days after Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs admitted to defrauding the United States government for nearly an entire decade, which subsequently led to the housing market collapse.
In all of these criminal banking incidents, not one person was held responsible. Instead, the banks merely reached in between the proverbial couch cushions, pull out a few billion and pay off their accusers. It then goes back to business as usual.
Once again, we see that big banks and big government are the same beast, and we are the prey.

The ‘powers that be’ that govern our country have never fully trusted the public voters. Early in the US history we only voted for the Congressional Representative. And we only voted if we owned property (property owners were taxpayers). In turn these Representatives voted for the Senators, and then together they voted for the President. So, Mr. Trump, this reality has existed since the beginning of our country. Just let Mr. Manafort do the job you hired him to do. Let him handle the confusing details.
Good grief!!! Why can’t we do away with this delegate garbage and get back to the popular vote? If we did that, there would be no question about who won a state. My personal opinion is that Trump would be a horrible president but I believe that the majority of qualified voters should make that decision. I might hate the outcome but at least it would be fair and candidates would stop whining.
Thank you Beverly, I agree, except I think Trump would be a better choice for a leader, he can hire people that are intelligent that will make the right decisions, when it comes to our country. Anything has to be better than what we have now. Obama is selling our country out!
Payoffs? Cruz couldn’t afford to payoff anyone. There has to be serious money behind Ted’s machinations. This said money HAS to be from nefarious backers who mean the USA no good. It’s an old trick, donating (bribing) delegates but it requires deep pockets. If we want to know about lying, cheating Ted – “follow the money”.
If you look at all the loans Cruz has taken out, and especially the one from his wife’s employer , you have to wonder how he is going to pay all that money back, and the actual election against the DEMACRAPS hasn’t even started yet. My guess is from our tax dollars, that’s how it will get paid!
I live in Indiana an have been receiving robo calls from Cruz asking for money all the time. We need you Donald!
It’s time for the actual votes not electoral votes to count so Americans can choose the person they want to be our president
Amen!
Ethelynne, the Electoral College has a specific role to play in electing the President. The Founders.did not want larger cities to dominate whole states, nor larger states to dominate the whole Country. Popular vote by pure democracy does nothing to protect smaller counties, or smaller States, from the “tyranny of the majority.”. The Founders knew exactly what they were doing because they understood the selfishness of human nature. Today we tend to think the opposite, that Man is basically good. That lie has resulted in the deaths of over a hundred million people in the past century alone!
Amen to that!
There really is no choice this election, but the person who gets the most votes , by the people , not the delegates should win. Why do we even vote , if our vote doesn’t count?
That’s how they want the voters to feel, then they won’t go out and vote for who they want. Then they get the puppet they want.
Trump shouldn’t talk. I don’t believe Ted Cruz isn’t the one are bribing the delegates I believe Trump is because Trump would say anything to accuse the other delegates of cheating to get us believe that Trump would never do anything like that. Trump would do anything because every time he doesn’t get his way he whines and throws a tantrum like a two year old baby. All of us notice that he does but his supporters don’t want to a mitt that he acts like a two year old baby. Remember one thing he did say that he could kill someone and still get votes. I don’t believe we need someone like that to be the president. I know that I won’t vote for the pompous ass. I believe if any one vote for that pompous ass is a pompous ass also.
Who are you voting for Jo? Lying Ted, evil Clinton, free Sanders. A pompass ass would definitely be an improvement over what we have! I can’t believe an intelligent person would vote for the three mentioned above.
Jo
I think you are one of the EXTREMELY CONFUSED Americans. Please do us a favor, and stay home on Election Day. You really are a true, talk out of your ass moron
Maybe it’s time America elects a pompous ass!! Someone that KNOWS BUSINESS and will get to the bottom of what the hell has been going on. We the people are getting screwed!!
I guess jo is probably for Hilary. Or sanders. Or Geesh – maybe Lyin Ted. Jo needs an education. And I don’t want to pay for it!!!
I imagine Jo is marching for $15.00 an hour.
Jo- you need to go back to school. And before you vote, please learn what America was built on.
Trump 2016
Well Horn news why don’t you tell the whole story, the fact that Colorado canceled the primary election. No one got to vote no one. The deligates gave cruz the deligates . Same in North Dekota, did Wyoming people get to vote ? When a state doesn’t get to vote that means my vote in my state was effected by the RNC , I am no longer a republican or democrat they is only one party. I will vote third party. How can cruz expect to win. That is why Mittens Romney lost to many people have woken up to the left/right BS.
Doug, where we live we only have electronic voting. In the days when we had paper ballots we s allowed to write in who we wanted if there name wasn’t on the ballot. The last time I voted there wasn’t a place to add a person who wasn’t on the ballot.That seemed to me to be unconstitutional. What can we do about that. Also, the RNC are the ones that are trying everything they can to control the election. I was Democrat until Obama ran, then I changed to Republican , no way did I want a Muslim as president. Now Clinton is probably going to be elected and that is the worst thing that could happen to this country, worse than Obama. If she nominates him to the Supreme Court I know we are screwed! Sanders will give everything away free and our taxes will pay for it.
Judy-
where we live we only have electronic voting. In the days when we had paper ballots we (were) allowed to write in who we wanted if there name wasn’t on the ballot. The last time I voted there wasn’t a place to add a person who wasn’t on the ballot. That seemed to me to be unconstitutional.
AFAIK, there’s no provision in the Constitution concerning write-in votes; it’s certainly unfair, though!
What can we do about that.
Get together with several neighbors ALSO interested in who counts the votes, how they’re verified, and who’s in charge of not only verifying the votes, but stopping remote access to the voting machines, then go read up at Bev Harris’ website, blackboxvoting.org. Once you do, then contact the election officials in your state, either en-masse or by proxy(signed petition) and ask them some VERY pointed questions with DEADLINES for positive responses. Go also to local papers afterwards with your concerns, who you visited, and etc. Publicity about voting fraud and it’s potential remedies is a Good Thing. If you get NO action plan to stop electronic voting machine fraud, IMMEDIATELY INSIST that they institute paper ballots and go through your petition again to see how many signers would also volunteer to count ballots.
Also, the RNC are the ones that are trying everything they can to control the election. I was Democrat until Obama ran, then I changed to Republican , no way did I want a Muslim as president. Now Clinton is probably going to be elected and that is the worst thing that could happen to this country, worse than Obama. If she nominates him to the Supreme Court I know we are screwed! Sanders will give everything away free and our taxes will pay for it.
If Clinton takes the office, it will ONLY be by massive and repeated voter fraud. There’s NO WAY that Clinton would get D’OweBama on the SCOTUS, because he’d have to have Senate approval, and if it’s still a Republican majority, they’d laugh Clinton to scorn. Look at how much trouble D’Owebama has had getting anyone on the Hill to even LISTEN to his recommendations, much less VOTE on them, either way!
Sanders would be a disaster for this country, as well; anytime you hear anyone talking the nonsense that Bernie is talking, Watch Out! History should have taught us what happens to anyone of any intelligence during every Communist takeover; they’ll kill us, straight up, either STARTING with Sanders or after they make him watch for awhile.
We need to wake up … Trump is the only choice if we are going to have a president that cares if our country and makes sure it will survive .. We are close to having another financial meltdown … The biggest bubble in the history of our country .. Trump has been talking about it for months … Why do you think the Saudii government is black mailing us with financial disaster threatening to sell 750 billon in assets they hold in this country .. Why should that not be a surprise ??? We have know all along they had something to do with 9/11 … We just didn’t have the balls to address it because we need their oil .. Trump will either be the nominee or he will walk out of the rebublican convention with all his delegates and change the republican forever .., I want Trump to win and then clean house ..
Trump is the reason some of us will go to a third party if he wins whether Trumpsters like it or not he is no republican and changes his mind on real issues too fast. Trump is a deceptive hatting bigot. Who throws temper tantrums when he does not get his way and is spoiled rotten on top of that. He is so arogaunt he will not listen to his wife’s good advice.
Just curious: What is a “hatting” bigot? Is that someone who steals, say, a yarmulke and plops it on a KKK’er? Or would that be someone to takes a cowboy hat and slaps it on a Native American head? Oh, you meant “hating!” NOW, i get it.
Well, enjoy your vote for the ineligible Canadian fraud. Lyin’ Ted will assure a democratic win, potentially Sanders, at this point – some college that allegedly has NEVER been wrong picking the next prez picked Sanders to win the WH. He’d better be damn careful about his running-mate, though; Sanders is in prime heart-attack age-range.
My theory on Trump is he wants attention positive or negative.
Well Lois, at least he won’t sell this country out to the Muslims, like the rest of them will. That’s one thing I’m sure off! If you want those terrorists living next door to you , or blowing one of your family members at work or in a mall, then go right ahead and vote for one of the others, and live with that fear in the back of your mind for the rest of your life.
Lois wenk
And Ted has to pay for attention. And also LIES,CHEATS and STEALS. But Ted the bible holding hypocrit is brainwashing so many. It’s sick!! That is what sociopaths do. Look it up! Ted Rafael cruz is a sociopath. And so many weak Americans are brainwashed by him.
Wake the hell up and get some common sense.
Trump 2016. Our only choice to make America great again!!!!
All I can say is CRUZ IS A POLITICAN!!!!
He will say and tell you the voter anything you want to hear,but then answer to the power brokers behind him and screw to public, jut like the POS in the White House Now.
Cruz voted TO ALLOW ILLEGALS TO CONTINUE TO BE ALLOWED INTO THE UNITED STATES, and not a word from the Liberal Media.
Trump is a Loud Mouth,but I Truely believe he has the Heart of a True American.and is a VERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PERSON… He couldn’t have done that if he screwed over people.
My Vote is for Trump!!!
WHATEVER happened to WE THE PEOPLE. Here is yet another example of the career politicians taking away the rights of the voters and telling us it is what is best for us. Well, WE THE PEOPLE are tired of the career politicians and will not allow this to happen. WE THE PEOPLE will elect DONALD TRUMP as the next President of the United States either as a republican or as an independent or as a WTP (the new WE THE PEOPLE party). No more career politicians. If the career politicians will not create term limitations WE THE PEOPLE will by putting them out of office after one term. When the career politician gets the idea that this is no longer a retirement job then they might consider term limitations…….
……….GO DONALD TRUMP GO…………..
Just another case of LYING Donald. Guess he has not purchased enough delegates for himself. I’m getting sick of the bush league DONALD. There was a time when I could have voted for him but his LYING & dirty, slimy campaign has so turned me off I’ll vote Libertarian if he’s the nominee of the Republican Branch of the Democrat Party. If it’s not Cruz the nation is doomed as Donald is nothing more than Hillary lite..
Its dirty, it’s underhanded, and Trump’s just pissed because he didn’t think of it first. These to guys can go “F” themselves. After all, that’s their plan for the American people … (<1%).
I want to state at the outset that this comment has nothing to do with this article in particular. I am interested in sharing some bipartisan thoughts about the topic, We Are The Party, and address it to both Democrats and Republicans alike.
This election cycle has focused my thinking about the process we go through in both parties to select a candidate to represent us in the November elections. During the Democratic primaries Democrats vote for their choice but the “Party” has super delegates who are not beholding to the rank and file Democratic voter. On the Republican side it is apparent that when they don’t like who the rank and file Republicans are voting for “they” the “Party” try to decide who is going to be the nominee over the choice of the majority of their members. In both cases the Democratic and Republican parties forget that in reality you and I “Are the Party” and we should be the ones that ultimately decide who represents us.
To this end I am suggesting a voter “Revolution” where people push back hard on their respective parties and remind those in charge that you and I are the party and we really don’t care for these rules that take the ultimate say away from those of us who are also registered Democrats and Republicans. I would urge those of you who agree to write and call your respective Congressional, State and Local representatives to complain about the “process” in addition to the DNC and RNC depending on your party affiliation.
I think its time that the people involved in the political process understand that they only derive their authority from the People when we give it to them and WE need to recognize that when we acquiesce and let them do as they wish we are abrogating our individual prerogatives to have them represent us as we would like to be represented.
Those of you who feel you agree with my sentiments are free to use this statement in any comments or letters or conversations you have. It is my intention to insert this statement in the comments of every article I read online and to hopefully start a movement that will hold both political parties accountable to their members.
Thanks for reading this whether you agree or not.
If Ted Cruz was the person that I thought he was in the beginning of this presidential election process then he would do the honorable thing in these states where the peoples right to a one person one vote is taken away from them buy a dishonest delegate system and a hand full of political cronies who want to control all political actions in their state and denie their voting citizens their right to the freedom to vote and the freedoms guaranteed to all American citizens by our constitution. Ted Cruz I am ashamed of you and so disapointed in what you did. Do the right thing. Refuse the delaget and expose their crooked system for what it is. Speak out for what the American people deserve Ted you can be a great voice for honesty and transparency but until you choose to do the right thing count me out of your trust and dedication I will not vote for you in the general election until you do what the American people deserve. Pure honesty.
Mobster trump. on the same level as Obama and the Clintons, has the gall-desity to claim that Ted is doing the Trump thing. Just shows that trashy mouth Trump is not only as big a liar as Hillary and Obama combined, but that he is showing (1) his mental deficiency, (2) that he is a transgender, as he is but a crying little girl, (3) that he will never be a man, (4) that he can never be honest, (5) That America need s to sue his anchor baby behind for wasting everyone’s time with his STUPIDITY. It would be a kindness to have him committed, as he is liable to hurt himself.
Once again Trump’s whining about how unfair the system is and that it is corrupt is another sample of the unctuous rhetoric that has been a continual assailment to the ears of all interested parties in this election process.
He has even said that all of the places he won are OK! It is just the other states that he has lost that are the corrupted programs. Sounds like Mr. Trump needs to invest in the Pamper, or Depends industry so he can change his wet panties, as well as the paper towel companies to dry his crocodile tears every time he loses.
He is certainly not the type of person we need in the White house! We need an adult who will not go crying how unfair things are when they don’t work out to how he feels it should be.
Hell he can’t even figure out the process about how the delegates are nominated by the precincts that they live in, and are elected by the people to represent them at the primaries.
In my home area of Colorado; we nominated delegate representatives to go to the county and state caucuses. No meals, rooms or money were ever a consideration (Bribes). In addition, we had non-binding discussions of views for each of the candidates. During those discussions we as a unified group were convinced that voting for Trump was not a good idea for several reasons after going through a rational conversation process.
There were several Trump supporters who were fed up with the lack of action in Washington, but were not so closed minded to see that the actions, and constant insults coming from the Trump camp toward all other opposition appeared as adolescent tantrums coming from a geriatric man losing his faculties. Or just an irrational person believing he was entitled to the nomination because of who he is.
Yes the system is not perfect. But it has been working for many years and until both parties overhaul the election system in its entirety we will have some who feel they were left out of the process. Many of whom really never took an active part in the process before now, or waited until the last moment to get involved. Too little too late; as one would say.
Cruz is beating Trump by doing the hard ground work, where Trump feels all he needs to do is fly in on his luxury airliner, make a speech and fly away, is how to get elected.
Sorry to tell him, if really wants to seem as though he understands the middle and lower classes plight, he needs to take the time to associate with the electorate who he so desperately desires support from, and to personally experience the life they are leading before he can truly understand them. This cannot be done from 36,000 feet, or from the top floor of Trump-towers.
This is funny because with all the underhanded things Cruz does, he isn’t even eligible to become President under the rules of the Constitution. He was born in a foreign country to a Foreign FATHER. Which, was what the rules for eligibility for POTUS was established in the Constitution to prevent. The Supreme Court, cannot, nor should administer the oath of office to him for these reasons.
We either follow the Constitution or throw it out. And it seems that more and more self serving politicians want to toss it. Cruz included.
Just because the rules were changed before Trump was in the race and therefore he should have known what they were, doesn’t make the rules fair or guarantee they will be enforced without any shenanigans. All delegates going to Cruz is like all votes (or more!) in any given precinct went to obutthead- didn’t happen honestly. Flags went up all over the place for me- I’m going to have to get more flags, these crooks have used them all up!
Cruz will do anything to win. Put him and Hillary in a box and you got a box of liers. They can’t stand to play fair because there afraid of Trump. I say it’s time to make a difference. The system sucks politicians make ten times more than the men who protect our country.They get richer every day. Most of them are liers and thieves. Wake up AMERICANS. …
The corrupt GOP might cheat you out of your vote but don’t get mad get even at the presidential polls by voting every one of them out of office . Especially their puppet presidential candidate and then every last one of them when they run for re election
Truthfully, neither Trump or Cruz control any delegates. These delegates are controlled by the State Political Party and the Governor if he is the same party. Candidates are given too much credit/blame.
Donald Trump isn’t going to be happy any time he loses. Each state picks their delegates to the national conventions differently. It’s up to the party members of that state to decide what works for them. To me the fairest way to handle a primary is to award the state’s delegates proportionately based on the vote totals. But, candidates are less likely to want that if they stand to win the primaries in winner-take-all states.
