If you understand how R candidates are nominated, please explain cus i don't

I think Ted Cruz would be a great president. I mostly say this because he stands on principle, not politics. He doesn't seem to give a rip whether people "like him" or not (PLease... I sometimes think Hilary is just the opposite... but you know... When u think of it... Who really knows that chick...? Even Bill is still wondering, I think.. )


But anyhow, I will bet someone I like is NOT nominated. And no history book I have read so far explains the process of nominating people

a governor would be good: Perry in TX, that guy in Wisconsin, and others, but for some reason, Cruz stands out for me

Anyway, does anyone here know how a candidate is chosen for the R party? It all seems rather mysterious to me at this point

The Bilderberg group picks the nominees. That is why your not finding any information about it. They are a very secretive group.

 

It's a long process, starting from precinct conventions and going all the way to a national convention, so it's too complicated to give a brief but comprehensive answer.

Basically those people that attend the National Republican Convention, referred to as delegates, have a vote on who will become the nominee. In some cases delegates are bound to vote for a specific candidate and in other cases delegates are "at-large" and can vote for whomever they choose. Typically the results are known well in advance, based on the results of each states primary. Brokered conventions, in which a clear nominee is not known prior to the convention, are very rare.

Now there are a TON of smaller details involved but generally speaking it's all done through the convention process.
