stop it yer killin me
If ted steals the nomination you might as well write in Donald or vote for whomever you please.
This election we’ll actually be able to vote our conscious. That’s because the Oct polls will show Ted losing in an electoral college blowout to the dems.
Not like in previous years when we held our noses to vote for the RINO because the election was close and they lost anyway.
Our Founding Fathers would be proud.
Pray America wakes
Parties do, and should, come and go throughout the history of our governing process.
The comments on this post are unmixed garbage. Not one seems to know what he is writing about.
I attended the Colorado State Convention and those delegates present voted the national delegate slate they wished.
Coloradans do not like Trump for the simple reason he does not like the constitution.
All was fair and aboveboard.
Trump can whine all he wants and so can his following of fussy hens.
Doesn’t change the fact he lost. And he lost because he hadn’t a clue about how important the caucuses were.
I was there I saw it all.
For America,

I think the republican "leadership" has done a pretty good job of that already. At this point, I think we peons are just going to throw the lime on its fetid corpse before shoveling dirt over it.
Ah, et tu Brute ? you stuck a dagger in the heart of the GOP and you are proud, or is it fey ?
Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."
How hard it must be for you to bear the burden of “principled conservativism.” Never have so many little people owed so much to so few select voters. They will write sagas about you.
Your going to see it all this Fiday in front of the GO headquarters.
Where are the vote totals of the citizens of CO?
Gop leader don’t need anyone to burn the party down they’ll do it themselves.
Did you read his entire response? It wasn’t defiant at all. In fact he sounds like a guy that would happily support Trump, and burn it all down if that is what it takes to fix it. What am I missing?
“James,
Thank you for your note. Go ahead and burn the party down if that is what it takes to put this country on the right track then I am open to anything.
What happened over the weekend was simple and had no manipulation or underhanded process in it. The Cruz campaign worked harder than anyone else over a longer period of time, using the process that we have to create a victory for him. He came to Colorado, and was the only candidate who did, gave a great speech and won. I would have been perfectly okay with the result being for Mr. Trump had he and his team done the same thing. I will support whoever wins without hesitation but blaming other people when you don’t get what you want is only relevant if you did the work honestly and someone manipulated the process. That didn’t happen here.
I think people are upset right now because they either don’t like the process or don’t understand it. I am one of the people who doesn’t like it. It’s complicated and many don’t understand why we don’t just have a national primary across all 50 states in about June, pick the winner and go after the democrats in the general election. There are complications to that as well but it comes down to states rights on how we pick candidate. We should have a presidential primary here but the legislature eliminated it in 2002 because it costs to much and that is a limited government move. Up until this year no one cared. We will put a presidential primary back into our law before this year is over.
Lastly, the one thing I do not get from the Trump supporters who are mad at me right now is why so many believe he isn’t going to win. I think Mr. Trump has woken America up and we should be thankful for that. But why do you think he isn’t going to win. He has a big lead, the easiest path to the nomination, a lead in critical states like NY and California etc. Channel you energy into getting your guy elected and in the end if really manipulation happens I will be there to light the match for you.
Steve”
Other than Trump, I will Never vote for another Republican again.

Cruz had the same vote totals in Colorado as he did in Wyoming and South Dakota.
Who the hell are you to tell us what Coloradans think when you never took their vote to find out what they think. Oh I get it. The party does the People's thinking for them. How Stalinist. And you say Trump doesn't like the Constitution.
Just effin' wow! It just get's better every day.
Well, well, well, isn't that so sweet. It's the "process that we have." And who cooked up that process? Did the voters actually vote to disenfranchise themselves? I don't think so. It was the party elite who did that.
it comes down to states rights on how we pick candidate. We should have a presidential primary here but the legislature eliminated it in 2002 because it costs to much and that is a limited government move
Who the hell decided that some party elites are more equal than the voters? We are talking the rights of the People of the State of Colorado, not the rights of a handful of insiders. What happened to equal protection, civil rights, due process, voting rights, etc.
If the parties are "private" organizations then what the hell are they doing using state resources etc. Oh, because they are not private except when they want to be.
Yup. Zero votes from the ciitizens
