“He was so weak in the south. If the media were honest, they should have called for his suspended candidacy then and if not then, then when Cruz lost 6 out of 6 contests on March 15th. They didn’t because they know he is establishment and will do their bidding.”

“The media should be calling for his suspended candidacy” Don’t Trumpeteers see how WRONG this thinking is? MSM should be calling it.

Despite the complaints, Cruz came out ahead in Colorado after dedicating resources to the convention process and putting in personal face time on the day of the final vote, something Trump did not do. On Twitter, the Colorado GOP retweeted a message, saying: “You may not like CO’s caucus system, but it's representative, and claiming delegates were ‘stolen’ insults the Republicans who participated.”

Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier also retweeted a message saying the rules “were publicly available for months to people who know how to read and understand words.”

The ColoGOP calling their voters stupid. That's real smart.

Yes, gullible.

Having consulted some actual reporting, instead of this hysterical man burning his bra in protest, we find out that he did indeed win a slot in his local precinct election.

What he won was the chance to go to the county district assembly. He did not go there, so had no chance of being selected to go to the state assembly.

In other words, he is like a kid who wins the local spelling bee, skips the state competition, and then cries like a baby when he shows up at nationals and is not let in.

You can’t skip steps.

“I think it is a bad position to have candidates selected by party outsiders. Kanye West is a party outsider.”

There are times when it is much better to have party outsiders do the voting and 2016 is such a year and a time.

Party insiders are the ones who do the work to build organization, campaigns, get out voters and elect candidates to local, county and state offices.

Being nominated without the support of the people who do the actual ground work is a colossally stupid idea.

So long as I get to pick which outsiders, I’m ok with it. :)

But in general, I think it is a bad idea.

thanks for your reply.

Colorado cannot be defended on any moral, ethical, or rational grounds. So stop trying to do it already. It looks real lame.

Playing within the rules to stop Trump is the essence of morality, ethics, reason.

What happened In Colorado is indefensible on any coherent, rational, ethical, or moral ground.

Everyone know this. But those who can’t accept that truth blame the victims. Cool.

The simple fact is that most people did NOT vote for Trump in the GOP primaries

In a brokered primary, the GOP is likely to nominate someone who got far fewer votes than Trump (Kasich, Bush, Rubio) or worse still, a candidate who got no votes at all because he didn't run in the primary (Romney, Ryan). So how exactly is nominating somebody that no one or virtually no one voted for an improvement over nominating someone who has only a plurality rather than an absolute majority?

They’re calling Trump stupid. He failed. He did not do his homework. He did not have someone professional dedicated to Colorado. He’s a rich guy doing this on the cheap, and he bragged about it. He is an embarrassment. He brought in a professional in the last week because he just figured out he needs DELEGATES.

I believe one of Trump’s problem is he is not rich enough to “fix” this process. He has the social media, the parties and casino stuff down pat. It’s a great show. He won’t do the work, that is a bunch harder. How will he build the wall if he cannot get it passed? How will he run the government if he cannot pass his budget? How will he... Can Trump just power through the bureaucracy? That ALL is complicated work. It is hard work. And you have to be able to look at the rules sometimes.

It would be my biggest nightmare. I’d know for sure the United States was dead.

Logical fallacies: opinion spoken as absolute truth, equivocation, moving goalposts, strawman, and too few alternatives.

Furthermore Ted didn’t win the winner take all states, except Wisconsin...

Yet another false statement. The rest of the shrieking Trumpanzees will be along shortly to repeat it - not thinking, just repeating. Never an original thought.

I have corrected this Trumper falsehood several times. And I suspect I will need to correct it again and again and again.

Wisconsin is NOT a winner-take-all state. Trump won 6 delegates with slim pluralities in the two congressional districts with the lowest levels of income and education. Cruz won the state with a near majority and the other 6 congressional districts with large majorities to earn 36 delegates.

The media was calling for Rubio and Jeb. No difference.

I love Trump’s domination of social media as well. It gives him a direct unfiltered connection to real people and draws attention instantaneously. He’s in control of content and message.
With the outrageous disenfranchisement of Colorado voters, along with all the rest of the ongoing delegate fraud being reported, I hope he manages to torpedo all these master plans to thwart the will of we the people!!!
I fear that if a man of Mr. Trump’s stature and prowess can’t overcome this stacked deck of party corruption, nobody ever will! It must be stopped!!

And you are guilty of everyone.

What is good for the hypocritical Trumpbot is good for the noble Cruz supporter.
