The Confidential Memo Behind a Ted Cruz Victory Over Donald Trump Supporters

By Jim Galloway. On Saturday, Harry Abrams was a member of the five-member nominating committee for [Georgia’s] 11th District GOP convention. The committee had spent the previous week interviewing 61 applicants for the three delegate and three alternate spots the convention was to hand out.

In the end, the committee produced a six-person slate that led with a Donald Trump supporter, Lori Pesta of Cherokee County. But on a motion from the floor, the slate was dumped and the elimination of Trump supporters began.

In an after-action report, Abrams sent out the confidential blueprint that Ted Cruz supporters received on Friday night, and operated from on Saturday morning. The four-page memo is somewhat faint, but the detail is worth the squinting.

Writes Abrams in an introduction:

Was anything illegal done? I would have to say no. Was the Convention Packed. I would say yes. Under our “rules” was anything done that was illegal? No.

“He’ll be in Philly for his watch party tonight,” Jackson said. “That’s indicative of where he and his campaign see this race going, to Pennsylvania, where they are looking to make a play for these unbound delegates. Even if they come in a distant third, a top campaign aide tells me, they will still, they believe, pick up more than half the delegates there.”

“They’re looking at more than 30,” Jackson said. (Read more from “Cruz to Win Half of Pennsylvania’s Delegates” HERE)
