I think a few of Ted Cruz 'enemies' are doing just that. It is a real shame because Ted Cruz never took the low road in the primaries and Trump was vicious and unfair to him.
Sen. Ted Cruz talks immigration, Beto O’Rourke during Corpus Christi stophttps://kristv.com/news/local-news/2018/08/20/sen-ted-cruz-talks-immigration-beto-orourke-during-corpus-christi-stop///www.chron.com/news/politics/texas/article/Ted-Cruz-seizes-on-Beto-O-Rourke-s-13055048.php[/url]
Sorry to break it to you @Emjay, but Cruz ran the dirtiest campaign I've ever seen a Republican run. However I will be voting Cruz this nov.
Palin elected Ted Cruz.
Well the TX AG looks well positioned to take on Beto since he is bringing up this issue and slamming the Rats with it. Couldn't find Ted's name anywhere in that. I'll give it another read to see if I missed it.
Huh?Last I looked Cruz won the second most delegates out of a 2016 GOP field of 17. Try again.
JPSB, your claim has been refuted many, many times. Don't bring it here.
He got a lot of those delegates, not because they liked Cruz, but because Cruz was not Trump.
So he should put his Cruz criticisms on preppers or sports thread instead?
Oh! BTW! Ted would have gotten even more delegates had the establishment at the convention not gotten the rules changed in the middle of the game!
What rules change was that exactly?
No rules were changed. The rule was/is that a delegate MUST vote for the candidate he is pledged toon the first round of voting. The NeverTrumpers wanted to change that rule so that all delegates were free to vote for anyone. At least that is my recollection.
The one that prevented delegates from voting for Cruz instead of Trump!
LOL. That's bullshit and you know it. No rules were changed.
You are correct @Frank Cannon The official rules of the Republican Party and the Republican National Convention—the body and event responsible for nominating the Republican Party's candidates for president and vice president—are set every four years by a 112-member committee called the Rules Committee. The rules package that the committee approved on the evening of July 14 was approved by the convention as a whole on July 18, 2016.https://ballotpedia.org/Republican_National_Convention_rules,_2016
Article on the sign gap discussed on a few of these threads. It is because Cruz's campaign manager doesn't like signs.It is frustrating a lot of supporters.https://www.texastribune.org/2018/08/29/beto-orourke-ted-cruz-yard-signs/?utm_campaign=trib-social&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_content=1535549911
@jpsb @Frank Cannon And those rules had been changed from those that governed previous conventions! The second the body adopted those the new rules is the exact second I left!
he said he views them as a far-less-effective use of campaign money than door knocking, television and radio advertising, phone banking or direct mail.LOL. That's insane. Cruz is an idiot for not firing that slack ass immediately. BTW why would anyone hire David Dewhurst's campaign manager for his failed Senate run?
By the way Cruz's Campaign Manager/Chief of Staff during the 2016 election, Chip Roy, who incidentally is not under Federal Indictment, is a Shoe In for TX~21.
