Poster Comment: I can't recall Drudge ever taking sides quite like this in a primary or an election. The bias has been pretty evident for some time but Drudge may as well slap a Trump 2016 logo on his website. Of course, the Bloomberg article he points to makes no such editorial opinion.

People like this man showed up to be delegates, but for some odd reason if they were known to be Trump supporters the officials proclaimed that they were not registered Republicans, even when they had been so for decades. It's the "Christian Cruz" way. Win with crooked legalistic tricks when you cannot convince people to vote for you.
He got into a fight with the district chairperson over something and got replaced as a district delegate. So he showed up anyway and of course they didn't let him in because he was not on the district delegate list. So he went home mad. A little later, he posted a video of himself burning his GOP party card. (I posted it here.) Like anyone but a total weirdo even has a party identification card. LOL Given his behavior, I think there was probably good reason to remove him. He seems past his best-by date. So I think it's time for this old duffer to be content with staying home and yelling at clouds from his front porch. If you are spatting with your district or county chairman over something, you are not going to be invited to the convention. That's how it is. I'm wondering if we'll find out what he did to get thrown off the delegation and replaced. But this is all sour grapes.
That's a good portrait of Angry Old Trump Guy. Have you ever noticed that every time Cruz beats Trump like a rug, especially when he did it just by showing up and giving some speeches or not skipping the Iowa debate (which Trump did over Megyn Kelly spurting her blood at him or something), Trump or his minions all start screaming that Cruz was cheating. "It's just not fair that that Lyin' Ted is winning delegates to the convention at the district/county/CD/state conventions just like every other national GOP candidate has done for well over a century. He's cheatin'!" Every. Time. Because, apparently, Trump simply cannot lose. He can be cheated of victory but no one can ever beat him. Oh, no. Because he's a total winner. And his creepy cult followers just gobble up this nonsense and sour grapes like a bunch of Scientology freaks. Looking at Angry Old Guy's YouBoob channel, I see he was uploading a video that alleged the Ron Paul delegates were stolen from him at the 2012 convention. Now, whether that is true or not is immaterial (it probably was). However, if you're posting that kind of stuff on YouBoob and talking about it to people, you are never going to get on the delegate list for the convention, which is a very hot ticket in party activist circles in every state this year.
Whoever gets the most votes should get the most delegates. Unless you don't believe in a representative Republic. Which you obviously don't with your hard on for Cruz. You're like a Soviet.
Not true at all. The GOP is a collection of 50+ state parties. It is always possible in every state for the winner to collect less than a majority because every state/territory has at least three delegates who are state party honchos, like the state chairman. So if you have a state where Trump wins 20 delegates and Cruz wins 19, Cruz can still walk away with 22 delegates because he got the support of the 3 state party honchos, maybe because Cruz actually visited the state, gave speeches, built up some grassroots organization, helped them raise funds for state GOP candidates, etc. Trump doesn't seem to understand this at all. He thinks campaigning is flying around and giving speeches where he bloviates about his polls and building walls that he'll force some other country to pay for. Why should they pay for it? Well, because. And to pay for that wall, he wants to steal the money of legal residents of America, many of them citizens, who send money back home to Mexico to support aging parents or grandparents who still live there. Anyway, it isn't the GOP's fault if Trump refuses to learn the rules and play by them. It's Trump's fault. He's just too damned cheap and lazy to build up his campaign organization out in the states. It's not even that it would cost that much since Trump has plenty of people willing to volunteer, run campaign offices, man phone banks, etc. As I've said before, Trump is entirely to blame for this situation. Not his supporters, not the GOP. Trump is to blame. And the GOP is not just a platform for some blowhard billionaire to seek office with. If you want the GOP nomination, you play by GOP rules. And you don't threaten riots like some bunch of thuggish SJWs if you don't get your way after you refuse to do your homework and build a credible national campaign organization.
In other words: Vote Hillary! THAT'LL show those damned Trumpkins!
Well, she's a much closer match to Ted than Donald.
There is one key difference: her own party does not hate her. They don't love her either, most of them, but they don't despise her. Republican pols really despise Cruz, because he has treated them despicably. And they know that if they hand him full power in the party, he will treat them more despicably. A Cruz nomination means President Hillary, and a Democrat Supreme Court, and rapid, unstoppable constitutional change afterwards as complete and as permanent as FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society.
There's one more I can think of. Hillary hasn't supported a Con Con to replace our Constitution. Unlike Cruz, she would be satisfied with destroying it piecemeal.

Is Cruz in favor of a Con Con ? I kind of suspect he is.
