This guy just looks off.
SO WHAT?
Oh I am so shocked
Bizarre they would have thought it a good idea to take the vote away from citizens even then.
Oh my. There could be some payback to these hacks who voted to
disenfranchise Colorado voters.
Like electing other people.
REALLY?!?!
4 officers from each of 64 counties, plus the 4 from state?
65 x 4 = 260
Are ALL Cruz supporters?
Lets all get behind the unlikable creepy slimy Canadian lawyer- a sure way to put Hillary in office
All the talking points that have come from the GOPe, the Cruz campaign and Cruz supporters have been this is all normal, rule are rules, etc, all BS.
This is just downright corruption.
CGato
Colorado is very illustrative, of why the GOP is just one big corrupt mess.
Trump needs to be elected. Vote Trump.

In November, 2016, I will vote for Donald Trump on my paper ballot either by putting an “X” next to his name or writing him in. Either way, I WILL vote for Trump in November!
I hear he’s calling the political insiders who are stacking the delegates against Trump “a grassroots uprising.”
Nothing hurts me more than when someone destroys the English language.
Now that’s a dirty rotten deal right there. The worst kind of dirty crooked politics. Lyin’ Ted and his band of thieves.
Yes of course. The prescient and pernicious Cruz voters got together 8 months ago and devised a plan to steal the Colorado delegates from Trump.
Aided by a group with a tme machine who told them that Trump would win in Colorado and Aliens from the planet Rigel 9 the convened in a small dusty room. While filling the room with Cigar smoke they out the plan in motion.
“We must deny the people the right to vote” said one of the precogs. “Zeep oady Mag!” Said the slightly green tinted man from outer space. His translator corrected it “No Wall!”. The time travelers who agreed more with the precog nodded there concurrence.
And thus, in August of 2015 the plan was formed and put into action.
I guess, I would just want to ask, Sen. Kevin Grantham, Sen. Kent Lambert, Sen. Laura Woods, and Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, how is this working out for you?
Cruz, 34 delegates.
Trump, verification of his complaint(s). Verification that may just propel him into the White House. If it can be fumigated by Jan,20.
Cruzer a-holes. They can’t win so they drag everyone down with them. Ask crying Beck if he’s happy about backing Lyin Ted. He went all in with Ted and now his ship is sinking fast. Never back a career politician. They will reward you with a poisonous bite!
Want some cheese with that whine?
The Colorado caucus system was abolished in favor of presidential primaries in 1992, but was restored in 2002 with the defeat of Amendment 29 (by Colorado voters BTW) and cost considerations, the fully restored Colorado Caucus was in 2004.
So in other words, the citizens of CO voted by a margin of 60.14% in 2002 for the system currently in place. The cost consideration BTW was that the taxpayers of CO didn’t want the state, i.e. the taxpayers to incur the costs of running a primary, what had been in nearly all years, a non-binding straw poll run in parallel with the caucuses except for between 1992 and 2004. With the caucus system the parties completely bear the costs of running the caucus and the voters in Colorado seem to like that idea.

Colorado also been a caucus state for over 100 years. Colorado Republicans have not held an actual binding primary election since 2000, a year we also held caucuses. For over 15 years in the modern era the caucus process all by itself has been the only way we choose our delegates to the Republican National Convention. Trump and his minions were too stupid or too uninvolved to figure this out. Or both.
In each individual precinct caucus (usually five to 50 people come) we also traditionally took a presidential “straw poll” (sometimes called a beauty pageant), which simply indicated who the attendees favored as the nominee. Never was this straw poll binding, and never did it allocate actual convention delegates like the primary states do.
This year we did what we always do with one single exception, which disenfranchised nobody. This year we had no straw poll because the Republican National Committee had decided that any poll in any state would be treated as binding for the purpose of selecting delegates to Cleveland.
The Colorado GOP leadership decided they didn’t want the straw poll to be binding, probably a smart move because one year the straw poll victory went to Ron Paul and another year to Rick Santorum, neither of whom made it to the finals. The concern was that the straw poll if held on March 1 would award Colorado’s delegates to contenders who later dropped out of the race.

And “Under the bill, Colorado would have held a presidential primary in March that ran parallel with the state’s complicated caucus system… when it came before the Senate Appropriations Committee, four Republicans voted to kill the bill with three Democrats supporting it.” – and as they should have as it was a bill very similar to what the voters of Colorado had already soundly rejected in 2002.
Trump announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015 so in May of 2015 when the proposed legislation was introduced and rejected in committee, Trump wasn’t evening running yet so it couldn’t have been meant as an attempt to stop him unless they had psychic powers or were consulting with Madame Cleo, no matter what Trump now claims about the system being rigged against “HIM”. And Cruz, while announcing his candidacy March 23, 2015, in August of 2015 he was not polling well and coming in 6th place in the overall list of the top 10 candidates. It is very doubtful that this was done for the benefit of Cruz.
