Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio supporters are teaming up in Arkansas to pack the state delegation with individuals who’ll turn against Donald Trump in a contested convention. Trump won 16 of the 40 delegates available based on the results of the March 1st primary. Cruz-Rubio would make a great presidential ticket I think. But something is odd with Rubio. He hasn’t endorsed anyone (unlike Jeburrito) and has basically disappeared since he dropped out of the race.

Ted Cruz’s and Marco Rubio’s supporters have teamed up in Arkansas to pack the state delegation with individuals who’ll turn against Donald Trump in a contested convention.
Since Rubio ended his presidential bid March 15, his network of party insiders has lined up behind Cruz to win delegates who’d vote for the Texas senator once they’re no longer bound to Trump in a floor fight. Trump won Arkansas’ GOP primary March 1 with 32.8 percent of the vote compared to Cruz’s 30.5 percent and Rubio’s 24.9 percent. But Cruz’s canny operatives, with Rubio riding shotgun, is likely to thwart Trump in the delegate election.
Cruz won 15 delegates and Rubio 9 in Arkansas.
