The Republican candidate for the US presidency Donald Trump threatens to sue his party in Louisiana to consider unfair the distribution of delegates in the primaries of that state, while accusing his rival Ted Cruz to "invent" stories against him.
In a new episode of fierce fighting that keep the two leading Republican candidates for the White House, Trump accused Cross today he was making up the story behind the tabloid "National Enquirer" about the alleged infidelities senator.
"I have nothing to do with it, and the Daily Beast wrote that Marco Rubio behind. (Cross) tries to blame me because it is losing much, it invents because he needs politically, and not going to blame Rubio is already out (of the primary), "Trump said today on Fox.
The New York billionaire is not only in open warfare with Cruz, but also with the rules of his party to assign delegates in the primary process and "caucus" (popular assemblies), which are what ultimately be responsible for electing the candidate Republican presidential.
"Just so you can see how unjust policies can be Republican primaries, I won the state of Louisiana and get fewer delegates Cruz. Demand in the way, "Trump wrote on Sunday in its active Twitter account.
The magnate won the primary in Louisiana this month by 3.6 percentage points ahead, but the senator from Texas could end up with 10 delegates more.
In the proportional distribution of the popular vote, Trump and Cruz each won 18 delegates, but the senator's campaign has enlisted the support of the 5 delegates won Rubio and five free delegates assigns this status, according to recently released Wall Street Journal.
In addition, the team Cruz has also managed five of the six seats in Louisiana has three powerful committees that decide the rules of the Republican National Convention to be held in Cleveland (Ohio) in July.
The executive director of the Republican Party in Louisiana said Sunday the local press that "fully trust the rules" of the primary state and that are "ready" if Trump gets to sue.
Cruz has not yet ruled on this new controversy with its main rival, but did the national spokesperson for his campaign, Ron Nehring.
"Maybe it's better you employ your time to read the rules that send tweets of hate," Nehring wrote yesterday on Twitter.
Cruz has exhibited throughout the primary process a powerful organization on the ground, which is beginning to prove very useful to ensure free support among key delegates (those who do not commit to vote for any candidate in the primary).
The frustration of Trump and movements Cruz are part of the increasingly likely scenario that no Republican candidate obtains a majority of delegates needed to clinch the nomination in the primaries and therefore the National Convention becomes contested.
In that case, some of the delegates assigned in the primaries would be free to vote for the candidate they wanted, they could even be someone who has not competed in the primaries or to leave to the poor results.
