Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) claimed victory Sunday in the North Dakota Republican delegate race despite the fact that the state’s 25 delegates are not aligned to any candidate, according to CNN.
North Dakota Republicans selected state party chairman Kelly Armstrong to lead the state’s convention delegation, which includes 24 others. The New York Times reported that the state also has 3 superdelegates.
Cruz circulated a memo with 18 names who “were on a list of preferred delegates” for the Cruz campaign, CNN reported.
“I’m thrilled to have the vote of confidence of Republican voters in North Dakota who delivered such a resounding victory today,” Cruz said in a statement to CNN, despite the fact that delegates could change their minds in Cleveland.
CNN reported 10 or so delegates have voiced “some or solid public support” for the freshman senator.
Wait…what?
Well, this election cycle is certainly turning into one big civics lesson on how jacked up the American electoral process is…
Ted Cruz is such a wonderful Christian man…
Because they live near his native country?
If Woody Woodpecker arranged for Delegates to be denied Donald Trump (deemed by The Economist to be in a neck and neck race with Terrorism to be the Sixth Greatest Threat to World Security), I’ll take it.
The longer Trump is not marginalized (he is STILL on the Major Political Party stage) the worse our public discourse gets.
The WaPo Bob Woodward-Robert Costa interview on Trump was scandalous.
