Let me say this to Cruz and the GOP Elite – you may have won this state by the underhanded procedures and saying “they didn’t know the rules so we eliminated them – fair and square”, which of course is not true. You are manipulating the process. Now Cruz might get the nomination on the second or third ballot and say “look –we have the support of the GOP”. Well that is all you will have as 1/3 of the Trump supporters will remember when you locked out our fellow delegates / voters and you will go down in a blazing defeat against the Democrats. Now you will say it was “all Trump’s fault” - We won’t buy it. So mark this day in history as the day the GOP was so divided they weren’t even able to win the White house, or a majority in the House or Senate.
Political corruption of the highest order. Scruz the GOPe.
This gets more shocking by the day. How any FReeper can still support Cruz is beyond me. Why not just be a Democrat?
It looks like a TYPO.. any entries which have the second 378 darkened will be counted for 379 (one of the Trump candidates for ALTERNATE delegate). If anything, this TYPO may have actually benefitted #379 as some votes actually meant for #378 go to 379.
“But it was not without controversy.”
That’s an understatement!
Trump did this to himself.
Trump did this to himself.
It’s a steep uphill battle against corruption like in Colorado where the official @cologop actually tweets out; “We did it. #nevertrump”. They made it obvious it was their actual mission.

Colorado GOP elites are #nevertrump

#nevertrump is more than a simple political statment - it’s a mission statement. And it was executed by the Colorado GOP as a mission statement. That is not we-the people.

It’s time for Trump to make some commercials outing Ted for the liar he is.
Given the GOP tactics I’ll vote for Trump under a 3rd Party candidate. There isn’t much difference between the GOP and the RATs and this election cycle shouts that loud and clear.
What I see is very poor organizing by Trump and his staff.
It was the Trump campaign that did it - not Cruz and the GOP. From NBC:
On Saturday, Trump backers passed out flyers at the convention site with official campaign slate of 13 delegates and 13 alternates accompanied by their three-digit number position on the 600-plus person ballot. Seven of the names, however, directed people to the wrong number and one delegate's name was misspelled. Other candidates did not have errors on their slates.
In one case, an erroneous number corresponded with a Cruz supporter. A second flyer handed out by the Trump campaign contained four mismatched names and numbers.
Among the names listed incorrectly on both flyers: Becky Mizel.
It was the second major error concerning campaign materials this week. On Thursday, a Trump slate of three names in the 7th Congressional District convention contained two that weren't listed on the ballot. The campaign's state director, Patrick Davis, said they failed to pay the necessary fees to qualify.
And Cruzbois on FR are supporting this. Stealing an election is fine with them.
The Cruzers may chuckle and high five each other today but they will not be getting the last laugh. There will be a steep price to be paid for this chicanery. Take that to the bank.
The GOP must want to lose because we have looooooooong memories.
If you can’t win by following the rules, just scratch the other candidate’s name off the ballot.
Revised Drudge headline:
FURY AS COLORADO HAS NO PRIMARY OR CAUCUS; CRUZ CELEBRATES VOTERLESS VICTORY
I will TRY to vote democrat rather than vote for Cruz. I know it won’t be easy but not voting is one vote Cruz won’t get. Voting democrat is a vote he won’t get and a vote his opponent will get.
