Trump backers yell foul over loss at Arizona GOP convention

Donald Trump earned 37 of Missouri’s 52 delegates to the Republican National Convention when he won the March 15 primary.

Voters using the website were provided with a preview of the delegates they had voted for before officially submitting their ballots.

Dan Fry, a small-business owner from near Sacramento, said that he was primarily voting for Cruz because of his 10 percent flat tax stance, his plan to repeal Obamacare, which was forcing his business to lose money, and his strong conservative ethics. Wilson says, “Heaven knows what justices Donald Trump would pick”.

There’s no clear result because some candidates were on both slates. “I’m going to start out by telling you that I am that delegate, and I want your vote”. “You asked [Ohio Gov.] John Kasich to drop out”. Others (the Trump faithful) cried foul, accusing the party (or someone) of cheating. The Texas senator’s supporters picked the chosen slate of delegates, which a majority of the convention-goers supported.

New Hampshire Republican Party chairwoman Jennifer Horn is chairwoman of the delegation.

Even if he fares well in Tuesday’s in primary, projections show him needing to win up to 40 out of California’s 53 congressional districts to claim the nomination outright.

Another 12 delegates will be elected at a meeting of the Republican State Committee this month, with final slots reserved for state party officials.

Voting delegates at the gathering in Mesa were instructed by organizers to log on to NeverHillary.

Missouri rules require that Trump delegates support him on the first ballot at the national convention July 18-21 in Cleveland.

“In this case you got a guy who is angry, his reputation is at stake with the Trump camp because he didn’t exercise as efficient campaign as the Cruz-Kasich people”.

Only two representatives for Ohio Gov. John Kasich were in attendance Saturday, and there appeared to be no supporters for Texas Sen. “We believe we have the votes to run the table”, he said, so even a state party slate made up primarily of Cruz supporters with some Trump backers was a “compromise” from their perspective”.

Ducey called the past eight years “the most futile in modern American history” and that it’s time to “put a Republican in the White House and Hillary Clinton in the Big House”. Trump won 35 percent of votes cast in the March 1 GOP primary in Virginia, compared to 17 percent for Cruz.

Constantin Querard, Cruz’s Arizona campaign chair, countered: “They lost because of math, not because of malfeasance”.

Republicans are planning to pack nine caucus sites across MA to select delegates to the Republican National Convention.

Those same analysts have endlessly covered the rallies and the candidates as they suspended their campaigns through the race, as Trump gathered more and more delegates, remaining at the top as the party frontrunner against GOP sentiment that it was too early to tell, or that he was not their candidate of choice.

But that doesn’t mean there won’t be a fight.

Still, we keep hearing Trump call for Cruz and Kasich to bow out (and Trump’s Arizona contingent wanting a delegate re-vote); if Arizona’s delegates are bound, what’s the problem?

Cruz’s delegate wins could be merely symbolic, though, if Trump secures the 1,237 delegates needed win the party’s presidential nomination.

Embracing Trump, these Republicans say, may be the GOP’s only hope of blocking Democrat Hillary Clinton in November.

“My friends we can not afford a Republican nominee that brings us down ticket decimation of our 2014 hard won midterm gains”.
