Title: Trump Supporters Walk Out of Georgia Delegate Fight After Party Picks Cruz Supporter…’Uproar in the Hall’

Donald Trump supporters walked out of a delegate election in Georgia Saturday to protest a vote that robbed Trump of all of his slated delegates from a district that he won in the primary.

A Cruz-Rubio alliance at the district convention in Buford, Georgia helped to knock Trump supporters out of the district’s national delegation altogether. Cruz supporters implied that Trump’s people would “embarrass” the district at the convention in Cleveland. Then things got heated.

“This morning, I attended Georgia 7th Congressional District GOP convention as a delegate and a Donald Trump supporter. We were there to elect the 3 delegates and 3 alternates to the national convention,” Ronnie Kurtz told Breitbart News. “Per the primary results, two slots were for Trump, and one was for Rubio. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) finished third in the primary and had no delegates allotted to him…Nonetheless, the hall was stacked with Cruz delegates.”

On the first ballot, the party voted on a delegate slate that would have taken away one of Trump’s delegates but would have, at least, still given him one representative. That bloc would have given Trump supporter Debbie Dooley one of the slots and a Cruz supporter named Carolyn Fisher another slot, with a Rubio slot going to local party convention chairman BJ Van Gundy. But Cruz supporters voted down that slate.

So on the next ballot it came time to replace one or all of those delegates with new people. The Cruz supporters managed to knock out Dooley, the one Trump supporter. Kurtz described what happened:

When it came time for nominations from the floor, the Cruz bloc, which I believe had the numbers to install whoever they wanted, did not challenge the Rubio delegate. Only the true Trump supporter, Debbie Dooley, was challenged. Two Cruz supporters argued in favor of their alternative delegate, a Mr. David Hancock, on the premise that he had ‘been in the party from the beginning’ and ‘wouldn’t embarrass us at the convention.’ The convention was given no time to ask questions of the candidates on the basis that ‘the nominating committee has already interviewed them for you’. The Cruz people succeeded in voting in their delegate over Trump’s Debbie Dooley.

“There was an immediate uproar in the hall, and all the Trump delegates walked out in protest. The Trump County campaign manager had conveniently brought the American flag on display in the hall and took it with him after this undercutting of democracy,” Kurtz said.

“So, after a hard fought campaign in which Trump won the primary in district 7 fair and square, no one who supports him will be representing the district in his slots at the national convention,” Kurtz added.

This video obtained by Breitbart News shows the process that led to the Trump supporters’ defeat:

These fascist assholes performed the same way in 2012 when they casually downplayed Ron Paul. Their claim the Republican Party is not represented by "certain" popular candidates is a serious manifestation of fascism in America.

It seems to be a different playbook but with the same outcome.

So, will the Georgia delegation be flying Cuban or Canadian flags?

Trump Supporters Walk Out of Georgia Delegate Fight After Party Picks Cruz Supporter

The Republican party elite is determined to nullify the primary election under contorted childish pretexts then reverse it to preserve their pretentious exhalted positions even if it destroys the nation. The people have spoken, the establishment refuses to listen.

Another state process that Trump came into unprepared and did not understand the rules (in most states a primary win secures delegates for the 1st vote only ). Trump won about 38% of the Georgia primary vote. Cruz and Rubio won about 48% combined ,and the other candidates percentages mean that the majority of the Georgia Republicans did NOT vote for Trump. . So when a coalition of Cruz and Rubio supporters unite ,as they have every right to do at these conventions, they significantly outnumber the Trump supporters, and so elect the delegates of their choice. Sorry if you don't like it The majority of the Republican voters in Georgia did NOT vote for Trump .Of course they were going to still try to select their delegates in the state convention process. Trump should've known that the primary vote is not the final step in the delegate selection process .

Trump also lost the battles in Wyoming. Maybe now he understands why all the other candidates built national organizations before they began their campaigns.

You can take solace knowing that the delegates have to vote for Trump in the 1st ballot. The path for Trump to win the nomination is to secure enough delegates to win in the 1st ballot .

Of course it is possible that Trump wants to lose a contested convention in Cleveland .

His ego won't allow him to PLAN on losing anything. It will gladly allow him to look like he is being cheated out of the magnificence that is him so he can resign,though.

He never wanted to be president to start with. He just wanted to have people tell him he should be president.

BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO!

ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

I can't believe that. The information is readily available to anyone with access to the web.

Trump is behaving as though winning the popular vote will somehow entitle him to the nomination or compel the rnc to come to him, hat in hand.

The hyphenated Americans have also spoken and by not voting, so did everyone who stayed home (according to the Kenyan mulatto in the white house).

They won.
