Trump backers furious over defeat at Arizona GOP convention

I know...I know.. the rules.. are the rules.

But without getting into the weeds check out the graphic of who voted for Trump vs Cruz in AZ. But Cruz got the delegates!  I can certainly feel empathy for Trump an "unpolished politician" to say the system is rigged. Even Jan Brewer said she got screwed out of being a delegate.

 There is something inherently wrong with this "arrangement" not to mention confusing... "

since all 58 Arizona delegates are required to vote for Trump on the first national ballot because he won the state’s primary."

(Now I get it?)

This is the math/logic for a Cruz victory?

"They lost (Trump) because of math, not because of malfeasance. If you take the people that want Cruz, and you add to them the people who don't want Trump, that's a majority in just about any room in America."

PS:

If you live in Arizona, repeat Arizona, and not illegal (the state may be comprised of mostly illegals by now) you would be an idiot not to vote for Trump. If you think you're going to get any relief from Killary or the Socialist concerning your blight/border... you're sadly mistaken.

Backers of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump accused the Arizona GOP convention of cheating after Texas Sen. Ted Cruz pulled out a strategic victory Saturday.

Cruz won virtually all of the 28 at-large national delegates and roughly split the 27 delegates selected by congressional district. Cruz's Arizona campaign organizer says simple math led to the at-large victory. Cruz offered a nearly identical slate of candidates as John Kasich backers, and the combined votes led to a win.

State Treasurer Jeff DeWitt, who chairs Trump’s Arizona campaign, said a challenge is possible after calls for a revote were rejected by the party.

"The Trump campaign is very unhappy with the results," DeWitt told reporters. "We don't feel that this was a fair process. The Trump button got checked more than any other, so why do we have so few delegates?"

Phoenix City Councilman Sal DiCiccio blamed “back-room-dealing politics” for the loss Saturday, according to The Arizona Republic.

"This is what America hates. This is why the voters have turned to Trump," DiCiccio said. "They're turning to Donald Trump because they are tired of the backroom politics, and that's what occurred here today."

Former Gov. Jan Brewer lost her bid to become a delegate and said afterward that she was cheated.

"I got cheated," Brewer told reporters. "And the people of Arizona got cheated."

State party Chairman Robert Graham said the election was run fairly, and the Kasich-Cruz slates just combined to get the win.

"Mr. DeWit is making a habit of making outlandish comments to try to crush the integrity of a great meeting," Graham said. "This was a very pronounced victory for the Cruz-Kasich slates. If it was close, then you might say 'Hey, one person here, one person there,' but this was a commanding victory."

Constantin Querard, Cruz’s Arizona campaign chair, struck back against claims from DeWitt.

"They lost because of math, not because of malfeasance. If you take the people that want Cruz, and you add to them the people who don't want Trump, that's a majority in just about any room in America."

This is the lowdown:

Trump is in blue. What should have been red.

Cruz yellow.

Republican

99.5% Reporting

Delegates Allocated: 58/58

Delegates

Winner D. Trump 47.1% 249,916 58

T. Cruz 24.9% 132,147 

M. Rubio 13.3% 70,556 

J. Kasich 10.0% 53,040 

How does Kasich still get donations when Rubio did better them him and is no longer in the race?

Saturday’s victory was mainly strategic for Cruz since all 58 Arizona delegates are required to vote for Trump on the first national ballot because he won the state’s primary. If there is a contested convention, the state’s delegates can switch to back Cruz. There are three automatic delegates, including Graham.

With Trump at nearly 1,000 national delegates out of 1,237 he needs to win the presidential nomination outright after recent sweeps of five eastern states, even Cruz's Arizona backers believe Saturday's effort is likely to be for naught.

"It's most likely that Trump will be the next president, but I'm trying my hardest for it to be Cruz," said state Rep. David Livingston, who is unabashedly backing Cruz.

The battle at Saturday's convention goes back weeks when Cruz backers were wrangling at local party meetings to nail down delegates to the state party.

Gov. Doug Ducey opened the convention by calling on the party faithful to end Democratic control of the White House.

Ducey called the past eight years "the most futile in modern American history" and said that it's time to "put a Republican in the White House and Hillary Clinton in the Big House."

WH take on protesters rage outside Trump rally in CA

True story:

The rationale here is if you're against people coming to America illegally somehow that transcends into racism? 

Check out the l-o-n-g list of Americans killed by illegals because of open borders.

http://www.ojjpac.org/memorial.asp

After viewing the violence at the Trump rally this is the WH response:

Asked if President Obama was concerned about protesters who took to the streets near a Trump rally in southern California Thursday night, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said there is "a long tradition of protests in the American political system."

"In fact, this country was started by a bunch of protesters, some of whom decided that they were pretty unhappy about taxes and threw some barrels of tea into Boston harbor," Mr. Earnest said.

(Suddenly the TeaParty is a good thing?)

So, in other words, he's comparing these "patriots" (worthless whites, blacks, and illegal Mexicans) to the American Revolution and the founding fathers? Of course, had this same thing occurred at a Killary, or the lunatic Socialist rally, the response would have been the same. 

And then there's Nancy…

“It was fun. It was a little different,” Trump said, later adding he had to get through “dirt and mud and under fences” to get in, and would do the same to get out.

(WTF...Capitalism kills?)

Looks like the leftover scraps of the OWS crowd.

So out of Trump, Killary, and the Socialist which one will open the border?

Thank you, protesters, for waving those Mexican flags.


This is just what every true red-blooded American wanted to see. After this episode in CA yesterday Trump will probably pick up another 5 million votes in the General Election!


In all likelihood if Trump takes Indiana he's going to be our nominee. There's a lot I don't like about him but we have no alternative so let's give him a chance. You don't become a billionaire because you're stupid. Who knows, he just may turn this country around for the better. One thing for sure...whatever he does he can't come close to being worse than Barry.

More Than 40 Million People Have Watched This Angry Facebook Rant About Millennials

To put this in context just before Alexis Bloomer appeared on FOX Jesse Watters did "a man on the street interview" with about a dozen Millennials. He showed them these three photos and not one knew who they were.

Watters [holding up image of Ronald Reagan]: Who does this look like to you?

“An old man.”

“Uh, he was a president.”

Watters: Which president?

“I forgot.”

“Not Bush.”

“I live in Vermont. They don’t teach us that.”

Watters: They don’t teach you the president in Vermont.

“Nah.”

Watters: Oh man. Must be because Sanders is your senator.

“Yeah.”

Watters: He won which war?

“Vietnam.”

“The war of democracy of not being able to have privacy in the U.S.”

Watters [holding up image of Martin Luther King, Jr.]: Next one.

“I don’t know who he is, but he doesn’t look too happy.”

Watters: You wouldn’t be too happy if you were him either. He was assassinated.

“He like, did this big ole [SIC] movement, big ole speech, 'I Have a Dream'.”

Watters: What was the movement for?

“To stop slavery.”

Watters: They stopped slavery in the eighteen hundreds.

“Oh.”

Watters: What do we know about the King?

“He has a day named after him…and I don’t know.”

Watters: You get off on that day…from work.

Watters [holding up image of Marilyn Monroe]: Do you know who this is?

“Madonna.”

What is she famous for?

“Dance, music, art and expression.”

“She stood on a subway grate and had her dress blow up.”

Watters: Do you know what president she fooled around with?

“Teddy Roosevelt.”

“Maybe it was Bush.”

Okay, I'll let them slide on MM as crazy as that sounds. But they didn't know who RR and MLK were? Just what are these f--ks being taught in school?

On the other hand, pick the Kardashian and I bet they can tell you the circumference of their ass. 

Oh...and they vote!

Alexis Bloomer, a Texas anchor at Channel 7, "watched as a young man stepped in front of a limping elderly man and didn't hold the door open for him" last Friday and was so angered by what she'd seen she posted a video about how that young man is all Millennials' spirit animal. On Facebook, the video, which is captioned, "Dear Elders, I'm sorry. Sincerely, A Millennial," has been viewed more than 40 million times, has 1 million shares, and thousands on thousands of comments.

"I pretty much realized that we're just existing, we're not contributing anything to society," Bloomer begins. We don't address our elders with "no ma'am" and "yes ma'am," we listen to music that glorifies drugs and crime, we "use words like 'bae' to describe someone we love, and we idolize people like Kim Kardashian and we shame people like Tim Tebow," making us ungrateful as a whole. Millennials are lazy, entitled, and when they want to be activists, they "[go] on Facebook and [post their] opinion."

29-year-old high school athlete accused of lying about age claims he doesn't know how old he is

Along the same line as you're reading this remember our fearless leader told us not to worry about those Syrian/Iraqi Muslim refugees terrorists because they're totally 100% vetted.

Ben (lying) Rhodes...Barry's mouthpiece:

“We have very extensive screening procedures for all Syrian refugees who would come to the United States. There’s a very careful vetting process that includes our intelligence community, our National Counterterrorism Center, the Department of Homeland Security. So we can make sure we’re carefully screening anybody who comes to the United States.”

You know, just like the great job they're doing stopping 12 million Mexicans from jumping the border wall.

A South Sudanese high school basketball star accused of lying about his age admitted Wednesday he is not 17, as he claimed to be – but doesn’t exactly how old he is.

‘Teen’ basketball player says he didn’t know he was 29 https://t.co/jAwKiQumvC #JonathanNicola #TorontoStarpic.twitter.com/E5UK3imDfu— Nicholas Keung (@nkeung) April 27, 2016

Jonathan John Elia Nicola, who authorities say is 29, told The Canadian Border Services Agency his mother does not remember his age, Reuters reports.

Nicola was arrested on April 15 after submitting a U.S. visa application with a date of birth of Nov. 25, 1998 — which would make him 17. The agency says a fingerprint match determined he was an individual who had made a previous application to the U.S. using a date of birth of Nov. 1, 1986. That would make him 29.

Also Tuesday, the immigration board ruled Nicola to be a flight risk and ordered him detained until May 24 in Windsor, Ontario. Nicola now faces potential deportation. According to transcripts, he wants to return to South Sudan.

Catholic Central High School in Windsor, where Nicola attended school, has said it respects the immigration board's decision and hopes "this sad story will conclude soon."

At least one rival basketball coach had his suspicions about Catholic Central's new star.

"I knew it when I looked right at him — I said ‘that guy’s 30 years old,'" Cam Nekkers of Pine Ridge Secondary School told The Toronto Star. "After the game, he’s sitting on the bench as a bunch of us walk by; we get past him, and I’m like, ‘Did you look at his face? Does anybody think he’s 17 years old?'"

The Toronto Star reported that Nicola arrived in Canada this past November and was issued a student visa good through January 2017.

A spokesman for the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board wouldn't comment directly on the case, but said a "rigorous" system is in place requiring all international students to present valid government documentation — including passports and study permits — before they can enroll.
