They restricted voting for other people....
No problem. But I think Trump will take it and most certainly get the northeast. Cruz didn’t even take the Solid South on which his first campaign imperative depended upon. This latest CO stuff just makes his chances worse, IMO.
My son was infantry, as was bro in Nam, so let me know over there what you think.
GOPe = tyrants.
The fact that the Colorado GOP selected a different process than other states is their right. Any individual in Colorado does not have a right to tell the Colorado GOP how it conducts its business. Do you not realize that this privatized selection process saves Colorado taxpayers on the cost of conducting a primary? Why are taxpayers - especially those living in largely Democrat states - not screaming bloody murder about subsidizing the private political process?
The big difference in campaign style is DT is crowd oriented while Cruz is more one on one, special ops :) sorta. It is an interesting campaign season. I don’t really talk to a lot of people here outside philly, but those I do don’t like DT and never heard of Cruz. LOL
Yes, this is what support of Cruz and his quest has been relegated to for his supporters. If you don’t understand why keeping nearly a million registered Republican voters from actually have the opportunity in a single venue and not have to navigate the party machine over several tries, I don’t know what to tell you.
I can only tell you defending this is just as bad a move as Cruz excusing himself with “rules are rules.” He will lose the nomination because of this, and should he engineer a ‘rules’ nomination, he will lose the general election.
Are you a registered Colorado Republican? If so, please direct your complaint to the Colorado GOP. If not, STFU. It's none of your concern.
What you are bitching about is the same thing as a Phoenix taxpayer whining about the Chicago School Board jacking up the tax levy to expand teacher pay and benefits without a local referendum.
Again, voters are only entitled to a general election vote or other vote as prescribed by local or state law. Primary party decisions are private and are determined solely by the political party in a state.
If you are too stupid to understand the concepts of federalism, private property rights (in this case, political primary rules) and the freedom of association granted by the US Constitution, I don't know what else to tell you.
I kinda see it as the Fatima (and Garabandal?) warning(s) coming to pass, but I don't fully understand those all that well.
In the bigger picture spiritual battle, I kinda see McCarthy as a sort of prophet, but actual prophets often don't fare well and neither did he. The beast won. The warnings ignored.
Looking over the battle of our times and their game plan, one can see how the all mighty "They" have used their powers of GovCo to remove and replace the "Father", in all forms, with GovCo.
We, this nation, began in recognition of and to the Heavenly Father in keeping with our Founding Fathers' Judeo-Christian faith, beliefs and/or understanding.
However, in our times GovCo has used human rationalism and our God given/GovCo recognized rights to remove the Father from all things public.
It started slowly, but things are really moving along now.
Toward the end of the 20th century, The Century of War where so many fathers, sons and fathers to be were lost, we who remained were too damaged to resist a sexual revolution free of consequences and all that has flowed freely from it.
Since then, our rationalism has been used to light our rebellous way as GovCo systematically infiltrated all aspects of our individual lives, claiming all that we do and are involved with from our public schools, to the foods we eat, the roads we travel, the ways we communicate, our money and financial systems and systems of trade, etc., etc. and now, even our health care is under GovCo control.
While at the same time, GovCo began systematically removing the Heavenly Father from all things under their control. He is now offensive and must NOT be spoken of...EVER! You have been warned.
GovCo broke up the family with ease by offering quick and easy, no-fault divorce, along with support for single parent moms, thereby removing and replacing the family father with itself.
In 1973, GovCo knocked over His Chalice and redefined those inconvenient, unborn consequences of our sexual revolution as being anything other than human, thereby granting guilt-free, human sacrifice of our most innocent on the alter of convenience.
Hmmm...and in sacrifice to ???
Word round the spiritual campfire is that the blood sacrifice of our most innocent is powerful stuff...you know, the forbidden kind of powerful? So, that begs several questions, like power for whom/what? And to do what, exactly?
Anyway...so, play all of that forward for a few decades and several generations and here we are in 2016, with Zero integrity and only the light of our human rationalism to light our path.
Truly, is it any wonder we wound up here?
Since obama, I've been trying to understand where we are in the ongoing story we were born into and that's where I'm stuck now.
This morning, instead of working, I followed that thought through the maze and eventually wound up reading Rev. 16 an hour or so later with a new appreciation.
Sorry to ramble on so, but the only sense I can make of our stuff in 2016 is from what I read in Scripture. And, it's kind of a rush for a first timer like me.
6,000/1,000,000 = (6000/10000) /(1000000/10000)
= .6/100
= 0.6%
All the same, I checked and in Nov 2015, when the last polls were done, Cruz was #5 in the standings. Those Cruz supporters really screwed the CO voters.
Yes the delegates cheated their fellow Republican brethren in Colorado.
Most of the delegates are likely repeat quadrennial party insiders.
They were lined up for Jeb Bush. Now the Cruz delegates are the GOP place holders until the convention rolls around. The majority will vote for Bush,Ryan,Romney,McCain,Dole,etc.
They will complete their mission.
Many still don’t get it. There are NO VOTE TOTALS! It was all a charade.
The entire Colorado Delegation should be UNSEATED in Cleveland.

Well, I mention Cruz because he’s taken to including a bit about “Trump sez there was no vote, but actually 65,000 people voted in Colorado!” to his stump speech.
He fails to mention that it was a very unrepresentative and elite-selected 65,000.
Nah, I don’t see that happening. People will grouse, but they won’t fundamentally do anything to change the system. Even if they did, the GOP-E already has the rules in place to prevent them from being able to.
Others besides Trump are looking at the legality of what they have done in Colorado.
From another article, I’ve yet to digest.
“A presidential convention related filing that the Colorado GOP submitted to the Republican National Committee could cost the Colorado Republicans their delegation. The document in question is the Rule 16(f) filing which includes information on rules, policies, and procedures covering the electing, binding, and certification of delegates leading up to the national convention.”
Never, never apologize for speaking the truth for you are a watchman on the wall and alerting others. Actually a blog would be apropos for your insights. GREAT POST. I have read the Revelation many times and don’t think it is in consecutive time order. The numbered bowls etc yes but the other parts, no.
I also pray the Lord God will allow one world revival before the wrath, as He did with King Josiah, but that may be fulfilled concurrent with the two witnesses, I believe, Moses and Elijah, in Israel(?). I digress.
The letters to the churches are most important, OVERCOME!
Who in the hell from Wisconsin are YOU to get off telling me to STFU?
You can’t stick that crap up your butt. You’re too dumb to understand why the rest of this county is pissed at your boy.
Wait a minute, which is it? Are you brownshirt Trumpers upset at the GOPe for rigging the rules? Or is it - as you stated above - you are pissed at Cruz because he followed the rules to a T and made the best advantage he could of the rules which were sent to all candidates 8 months ago?
Personally, I think you Trumpers are pissed because Trump tells you that you should be pissed.
You are infantile and you should have realized that equating local taxes in any state is the equivalent of screwing 1 million voters in Colorado for less than 1% by party insiders is completely ludicrous. Their actions affect a nation contest and you know it and it should have triggered “I’m stupid alert” as soon as it left your brain.
I’m pissed because zealots like you support crony party insiders up over actual voting. And Trump didn’t have to tell me a damned thing, unlike you and Ted’s machine. Go play somewhere.
new thread on Nebraska with same sorta strange system. There has to be a best way.
