While Donald Trump is running around blubbering how the delegate system is “unfair” (this despite the fact he has a higher percentage of delegates than he does votes), Ted Cruz and his team have actually been working at securing delegates should Trump not get the nomination on the first ballot at the convention.

Earlier today on Morning Joe, former Cruz spokesperson Rick Tyler said Trump’s whine barrage over the last few days, sounds like talk from somebody that expects to lose and he’s right. Cruz knows this and that’s why his team is working hard:

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is close to ensuring that Donald Trump cannot win the GOP nomination on a second ballot at the party’s July convention in Cleveland, scooping up scores of delegates who have pledged to vote for him instead of the front-runner if given the chance.

The push by Cruz means that it is more essential than ever for Trump to clinch the nomination by winning a majority of delegates to avoid a contested and drawn-out convention fight, which Trump seems almost certain to lose.

Oh the other side? Donald Trump and his team are busy sending threats to potential delegates:

The intensity of the fight has sparked another round of caustic rhetoric — including allegations from party leaders that Trump supporters are making death threats.

“It’s unfortunate politics has reached a new low. These type of threats have no place in politics,” said Kyle Babcock, a Republican delegate from Indiana’s 3rd Congressional District. He received an email from a Trump supporter who warned, “Think before you take a step down the wrong path.”

There’s more:

As the battle for delegates has intensified, so too have emotions. Craig Dunn, who was elected Saturday as a Republican delegate from Indiana’s 4th Congressional District, said he has received several threatening phone calls and emails after criticizing Trump in recent news reports.

“When they reference burials and your family in the same email, and telling you that you’re being watched, that’s concerning,” he said.

In Colorado, Republicans are planning a rally Friday to call attention to threats made against GOP chairman Steve House. He said his office received 3,000 phone calls “with many being the trashiest you can imagine” after a state party convention last weekend awarded all 34 delegates to Cruz.

This is what happens when your supporters are unhinged.
