[Full Title] Tyrant Trump Tries to Scapegoat Others for His Colorado Losses; Result Is Most Extensive Big Lie Campaign in U.S. Politics Since Bush-Cheney WMD Allegations vs Saddam Hussein [sub title] Trump Lost Colorado Fair and Square Based on Existing Rules; Preview of Buck-Passing, Scapegoating Presidency; Gestapo Tactics by Storm-Trumpers As Colorado GOP Chair Is Bombarded by Death Threats; CNN Imitates East German Television in Fawning Telecast with Trump Clan [photo text] President Harry Truman always claimed he took responsibility for adversity that occurred on his presidential watch. He expressed this with a sign reading The Buck Stops Here, which he kept on his desk in the oval office. Trump is the very opposite, always dodging responsibility, passing the buck, and scapegoating his hapless aides. Trump appointees should practice falling on their swords before reporting for work. [article] The Buck Stops Here this was the famous saying on a plaque which President Harry Truman kept on his desk in the oval office. The point was that adverse events which occur on the watch of a US president are his ultimate responsibility. Truman, of course, was a disastrous president, but on this particular point he was at least verbally correct.
Trump knows about this principle in the abstract he even cited it when he asserted that George W Bush did not keep America safe, because 9/11 happened on his watch, and was in that sense his responsibility.
The events of the last few days have shown, however, that a Trump presidency would be characterized by buckpassing, scapegoating, and the inability to accept executive responsibility. In practice, Trump is one of the most consummate buck passers of modern times, even before he has seized power.
Trump lost the Colorado delegate selection process fair and square...which were attended by 65,000 voters

CNN and DT have a deal (my gold plate foil hat spin). CNN reports Carson changing clothes, DT funded Steve King retweets, DT hosts vet rally covered by CNN, Carson joins DT support...CNN gets previous FoxNews clients.
Have at it! I did laugh at the Storm-Trumpers though. Those guys that do get punchy are probably the "Reagan democrats" who switched parties. :) just sayin.
Would Webster care for some cheese with that whine?
Webster Griffin Tarpley the Third, Esq. PhD. to the Fourth Power
Gee. How frigging magnanimous of you. After all, Rules are Rules, even when you deny citizens the opportunity to vote in a single open forum.. Yes, Donald is the tyrant. Imagine him ‘expecting’ that actual votes by normal citizens aren’t up to “rule snuff”. Stick it up your keester.
For the first time in history a tyrant is someone who wants the people to vote.............
“Trump lost the Colorado delegate selection process fair and square...which were attended by 65,000 voters”
Out of how many hundreds of thousands that were barred from voting?
I heard Reince Priebus describe the delegate selection process in Colorado yesterday on Hannity. It was designed for people who have no job and no life. It was about a five step process that was designed to suppress participation and secure GOPe control.
Trump IS right that the rules of the Colorado conventions are rigged and intended to circumvent the people and let the party establishmentarians choose whoever they want.
It’s just that the system was not rigged to gyp Trump specifically.
It’s been like that since 1912, and was intended to do what it does since 1912. Colorado’s system is a holdover from the late 19th-early 20th century “Boss Tweed” style machine politics. It’s MEANT to cut “the people” out of the process.
That one campaign of executing a Rule Coup in Colorado Republican Politics is exactly what will cost Ted Cruz the nomination. They engineered the verdict in Colorado and suppress citizen votes; they’ve embalmed Ted’s campaign throughout the rest of the primary season.
“Hell to Pay” was not just a book about Hillary.
The fact that Cruz even tries to make this argument shows how clueless and tone deaf he really is.
Exactly
Cruz is a crook
He is today’s Nixon
65,000 voters out of how many registered Republicans in Colorado? This is the first primary where the COGOP cut out all citizen votes completely. At least before, they had a few token delegates for those voter sheep they think so highly.
You know better than this crap.
Who was barred? Anyone who met the stated and publicized Colorado GOP requirements and attended their district meeting could vote.
Is any state that holds a closed primary (registered party voters only) "barring" people from voting?
Is the state of NY barring Trump's kids from voting?
This "Trump is being cheated" BS has to stop!
It’s funny now how all the Cruzers now love the process. Listening to Rush and Levin go on about how great the process is without regards to the will of the voter is sickening.
“Cruz is a crook
He is todays Nixon”
That’s not fair. Nixon was far more likable, charismatic and honest than Ted Cruz (which isn’t saying much).
Good for Trump to have the balls to point out the abusive insider political system designed to specifically prevent new blood from entering the race. Just because there are rules, doesn’t make them good rules or just rules. Trump has blown open the political process, and it’s about damn time someone did.
I once thought all this Cruz excusing was ‘funny’. I don’t any longer. It has become a battle of Cruz zealots wrapping themselves in the Constitution as if it is only their right to do so, and they are willing to excuse almost anything now, as they claim Trump supporters do.
This pretty much has told me that in my general election here in Georgia, I’m going to type in Trump as a write-in on my ballot if he is the nominee.
Can’t run a campaign, but is going to “Make American Great Again”?
“Anyone who met the stated and publicized Colorado GOP requirements and attended their district meeting could vote.”
Do you know of any other state that encourages a million people to elect delegates by gathering in caucus halls about five different times to vote?
You can try to hide behind the “publicized” meme all you want to, but it is useless. It was voter suppression.
