Delgaudio Elected To Represent 10th Congressional District Republican Party At Cleveland Convention

But only in his bizarre way of interpreting reality. He actually ended up in next-to-last position, fifth out of sixth candidates. If two people ahead of him in the voting become incapacitated, he can have a say at the Republican convention. Barring that, he'll be watching it on television.

He continues:

On behalf of myself, my wife Sheila, my family and my tremendous campaign staff: Thank you for making this victory possible and I am excited to represent you at the Republican National Convention.

As usual the Washington Post, liberal blogging types and other sporadic ambushers are stunned with this win. My condolences.

Whatever.

CRUZ WINS: 10th District Convention Live Blog

12:24 Eugene Delgaudio is characteristically flamboyant. John Stirrup speaks to party unity, exhorting everyone in the room and nationwide to unify behind the nominee. Doesn’t say who he’ll vote for.

Prediction: Sen. Dick Black will be the National Delegate candidate receiving the most votes. He’s got a tremendous amount of loyalty and affection around the room, including from among the Indian-American community. And he’s Cruz through-and-through.

12:09 Trump vs. Cruz tensions come to the surface as a national delegate candidate praises Trump, eliciting competing boos and cheers from the crowd. Cruz ticket member Beau Correll makes a specific pitch for the Cruz ticket to great applause.

10:10 Eugene Delgaudio, a candidate for National Delegate on the Trump ticket, is walking around the floor blowing a whistle and holldering, “All Aboard the Trump Train!” The room is mostly full, and the event appears poised to start, pending final registration of later-arriving delegates.
