Ted Cruz's SELF SERVING effort Helping to Destroy The GOPe by BYPASSING the VOTER to TAKE DELEGATES. This fellow in the video was a Republican Party State Delegate in Colorado. He was removed from his position because he voted for TRUMP. Not having a Primary, No Caucus, NO PUBLIC VOTE and CRUZ gets All THE DELEGATES. That is Disenfranchising the voters . . . and you don't think their will be a price to pay!

** Not having a Primary & No Caucus **

That was the decision of the Colorado GOP made a long time ago, before all the candidates were even known.

If you don’t like it, change the rules for next time but don’t complain if you didn’t plan ahead to play the game.

Have you guys wondered how Trump ended up with 47 percent of the delegates, yet, prior to Wisconsin, had won only around 37 percent of the vote?

The rules.

I didn't hear the other candidates whining when the rules worked in Donald's favor.

The rules also say I don’t have to remwin in GOP. But that is besides the pount. The morsl standard is not set only by the rules. Rules or not, what was done was not right.

The rule you praise is corruption.

That’s acid rain falling on top of us,
the electorate, thanks to the GOPe. Cruz hooked his wagon to these people and let him suffer the consequences.

get a grip.
You know damn well the establishment makes the rules to further their own corruption and cruz is their guy right now, thus they help him to stop trump destroying their gravy train.

At least be honest and don’t be a hypocrite if you are repeating talking points.

King Trumpy should have just ran as an independent. He could have saved all of his loyal followers all of this grief and angst.

But he wanted the party nomination because he thought he needed it to get elected. Now he's finding out that is it difficult to p#$$ off EVERYONE in party leadership and actually get them to nominate you.

His followers are still looking for that "art of the deal" quality in him, but instead they keep finding King Trumpy.

Rules versus ETHICS. Cruz knows the rules but doesn’t know ethics. If you can’t see that then you need to post at the DU. This was a demondog move.

BTW the Cruz supporters CHANGED the rules in the middle of the game. They took a straw vote Cruz LOST. They then took a secret vote with a SECRET COUNT counted by Cruz supporters and Cruz won. Surprise! They lied or or at least look like they lied.

Hillary is God’s judgement on the Republican party for this act. After this Cruz lost any hope of getting the votes from Trump supporters. The Cruz supporters like to ask how Trump could win with only 40% of the Republican vote. How can Cruz win without that 40%?

Shame on Ted Cruz for using internal state-level party loyalist insiders to help him to jigger the ‘rules’ to keep voters from voting.

Keep drinking that Kool-aid. You are oblivious to what is happening....and making excuses for it.

I will know that I can never again trust anything you post.

Your credibility is ZERO.

It's the REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. It's being conducted by the republican party as the party sees fit.

That is true, and the general election shall choose electors for President based on their votes. Apparently something the Republican Party no longer wishes to do.

Nope... you don’t have to stay. You could feel the bern... or you could become a libertarian.... or you could just skip the primary process all around and vote in the general each election for whomever you want to be king....

When Trump combined with Kasich to use the rules to shut our Cruz in Michigan last week these same folks were slapping each other high fives. LOL

Good advice, similar to let them eat cake! We know what happened to the person who uttered that famous line.

We have no choice about the game but we do have a choice about who we choose to sit with at the table in the game. Ethics matter. CRuz has no ethics.

Oh yeah.. cruz did that. Last august cruz was controlling the Colorado GOPE.... no doubt. LOL.... Probably Jebby got that done thinking it would keep people like Cruz out of the picture.
