I’d stop rather be in trumps current position.
and now the GOP officials in Colorado are being flooded with death threats. Despicable. “Team Cruz started organizing in Dec while Trump spent his time hurling insults on Twitter. “Buck said he started informally organizing for the Cruz campaign in December, and was formally named chair of the campaign in January and has been working with volunteers since then.
“It is typical of the Trump campaign to blame losing on other candidates cheating or unfairly taking advantage of the system,” Buck said. “The truth is that the rules in Colorado have been set for awhile, they were determined by the central committee. They were sent out to all the campaigns.”
The Colorado Republican Party decided last summer to nix a presidential preference vote to get around an RNC rule attempting to bind delegates to the state winner. Instead, Colorado wanted the option of having their delegates be unbound in Cleveland.
Buck said Cruz it is “viewed in Colorado as somebody who has stuck by his conservative principles” and as a result he was able to attract an army of grassroots volunteers eager to work on their free time to help his efforts in the state.” Wash. Examiner
1237 is the number. So you're saying that even if he had 1246, he couldn't get them on the 2nd or 3rd ballot. He wins on the 1st ballot with 1246. Why would there even be a 2nd or 3rd ballot?
The only way this couldn't happen on the 1st ballot is if the delegates that were committed to vote the voters' will on the first ballot actually didn't. You think that would be a 'hoot'?
That is why Trump likes ‘lowly educated’ people, they will believe his BS when he says he was cheated.
It wasn’t just Trump primary voters who were cheated. The entire slate of voters were cheated in Colorado.
called the establishment GOP.
” I got no notice (though I had registered with the locals and given contact info well in advance).”
You didn’t know there was a election this year?
” Though I was traveling in Feb, I expected to be back in time.”
So you were out of town? Who’s fault is that?
“Looked where to caucus in area online. I felt very much shut out like the fix was in—for Cruz. Another WY Republican friend had the same experience.”
You couldn’t your caucus site, or you couldn’t find it online?
Are you deluded or something. so you have no problem with a group of 5 party hacks taking away the voters rights?
WOW Trump has sure made everyone see the elitist,party hacks on here and elsewhere.
“It would be a shame if President Clinton appoints 3 or 4 Supreme Court Justices.”
That would be the fault of those that voted for her best friend, Donald.
Are you sure about that?
“I guess partial birth abortions that are done by the rules are also okay with you so called “conservatives”, eh? “
Trump is the big time planed parenthood supporter. It must be his NYC values?
I hear that Canada's salsa sucks ... ;-)
Its starting to become clear many of the Cruz supporters are actually party-insider GOPe people. Hence the flooding of anti-Trump Hit Pieces but very little giving a reason to vote for Cruz.
Uh Huh, that explains why almost all the Delegates and the selection process for CO was made up of GOP party officers, Elites and donors. Cruz is winning nothing, Its the GOPe machine already in place doing the dirty work here.
And odds are its not just Trump people angry. Americans do not like thieves. Especially ones who push it in their faces.
I was out yesterday and a elderly couple who are non party said that they had heard cruz had stolen the election by paying off the delegates.
Moere and more are fed up of cruz and if cruz was smart he would stop this nonsense and dirty establishment tricks, but alas he started his dirty tricks in Iowa when he said Carson was stepping down.
Then the sleazy mailing list in Iowa
Then telling Rubio voters he was stepping down and not ice a pattern here?
Always his establishment hacks defend this or just ignore it.
Now he pays off delegates to ignore the will of the voter.
Remember a time when people on here said they hated the establishment and that the Dems were taking votes away from voters and ignoring the will of voters?
Yea those same people now defend all of this.
Trump does better in areas where the people are actually suffering. These states have it good. They are scarcely populated, have few immigration problems, and crime is low. Those voters are happy with the status quo and not ready for an insurgent candidate.
Trump is on record (video) saying that he would never ask God’s forgiveness!
Except it isn’t a lie...
This is Shooter Chennye’s (sp DGAF) territory.
“It wasn’t just Trump primary voters who were cheated.”
CO didn’t have a primary.
