During the Maine GOP caucus on March 5, candidate Ted Cruz came out on top with about 46 percent of the vote.  Based on the caucus result Cruz was allocated 12 delegates, leaving nine for Trump and two for John Kasich.

Maine’s Governor Paul LePage coordinated with the Cruz camp, the Trump camp and the Kasich camp to insure the state convention would provide equitable distribution of the delegates based on the caucus result.
This is called a “unity ticket”, with delegates assigned based on the results of the caucus.
However, during the state’s convention this weekend the Cruz campaign reneged on the agreement and stabbed the caucus voters in the back.  As they have in other state contests, Team Cruz manipulated the delegate selection to gain 19 of the 2o delegates.   CNN has more on the events:
(Via CNN) […] Cruz collected 19 of the 20 spots up for grabs, with the 20th spot going to Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who’s supporting GOP front-runner Donald Trump. (more…)

(ARIZONA Op-Ed) If you are in Arizona, mark April 30th on your calendar and plan to attend because Arizona GOP elite says Trump voters don’t matter.
This is why the Arizona Cruz supporters and the GOP establishment elite have entered into an unholy alliance to “stack the deck to steal the national delegates” from Mr. Trump at the Arizona GOP State Convention scheduled for April 30 in Mesa.
A delegation of 1,251 state delegates elected from 40 Arizona Legislative and County Caucuses will descend on Mesa on April 30. Unfortunately, many of these state delegates are Cruz supporters led by Constantin Querard and “anyone but Trump” supporters led by Robert Graham and the RINO establishment. (more…)

As the Trump campaign has navigated the minefield of opposition, many have inquired (mostly via email) about the ‘next steps’, the horizon per se’ – as it relates to the tripwire series.
Much of the Donald Trump campaign is correctly framed by the media as impossible to predict, uncharted, or completely new; and to a large extent that outlook is correct.
However, for those who really understand how we found the GOPe road-map, and predicted the multi-candidate splitter strategy in 2014 even before the 2016 campaign began, there is a part of the journey that -if successful- leads to predictable outcomes.

When looking forward, to predict behaviors based on motive, you must always ground yourself on the motives behind how the race advanced to where it is today.   All future perspectives must coincide with the more broad historical agenda of the group being discussed.
There are four basic groups in the Republican “NeverTrump” coalition. In essence these are Team Trump enemies writ large: (more…)

Below are the pdf’s of the raw poll data.  Essentially the Fox polls of Indiana and California mirror other recent polls of the same states.  The electorate is set, almost no-one is undecided….. tick-tock, tick-tock.  The critical aspect is:

According to the latest Reuters Polling snapshot Senator Cruz has dropped another 5 points this week –LINK .   This comes on the heels of several weeks of polling data outlining how Ted Cruz has a significant problem with “authenticity”.
Readers will note we have discussed this several times.   The more the general electorate get to see and know Ted Cruz, the more his support drops.  There is a direct correlation.

The Associated Press now reports the Cruz Camp is making an effort to train Senator Cruz to become more likable: (more…)
