“See, that is what pisses me off. You open your mouth like you know what the hell you are talking about, but you don’t. The caucuses this year were meaningless and did not have any influence on the gopE insiders picking all Colorado delegates. They were chosen from DC.”
But did you go to your caucus? I did. And I went to assemblies. I checked people in at assemblies. I watched the campaigning and the votes. I called out some “fake” Cruz supporters for shady practices and got them spanked.
I also know the people who vetted and assembled the slates that, for the most part, won for national delegate. They are crazy right-wing liberty folks who have been conducting a multi-year, mostly successful insurgency against the GOP-E here in Colorado. So too are most of the delegates to the national convention.
I organized the caucuses for about 40 precincts where about 1000 people showed up. My DC’s and PC’s ran the caucuses and I spoke with all of them after the caucuses. Do you want to know what Trump’s real problem was here in Colorado? Probably not, but I’m going to tell you anyway. His problem is that not very many folks who supported Trump showed up at caucus. There were more Kasich and Carson supporters there than Trump supporters. The reason Cruz did so well in Colorado is that lots of Cruz supporters showed up to caucus. They elected Cruz supporters as delegates to the assemblies. And they elected Cruz supporters to be national delegates. It’s that simple. I can tell you with certainty that Karl Rove and his Washington DC minions were not at our caucuses or assemblies exercising mind control over the delegates.
There’s one thing that’s kind of correct about your post. There was an attempt by the GOP-E to hijack the Cruz slates. They ran squishes as ostensible Cruz supporters—I assume the idea was to vote for a squish like Ryan or Kasich on a second ballot. Us liberty folks identified most of them and ran most of ‘em out of town, metaphorically speaking.
So that’s how I learned, as you so elegantly put it, “what the hell I’m talking about.” How did you learn about the meaninglessness of it all? From a Facebook post? From a UFO site? I note that you did not answer my question about whether you went to caucus or ran for delegate. And that’s the heart of the problem. “90% of success is just showing up,” but only 0.01% is whining about what happened when you didn’t.
