Donald Trump Campaign’s Colorado Plan: ‘Changing Minds’ of Convention Delegates
Breitbart ^ | 4/8/2016 | ALEX SWOYER

Posted on 04/08/2016 4:34:48 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Following what appears to be a series of sweeps in Colorado delegates favorable to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s campaign is preparing for the last four congressional district (CD) delegate votes Friday and the state GOP Convention on Saturday, where the final 13 delegates will be selected.

“We are distributing Trump slates in each CD and at the state,” Trump’s Colorado state director and veteran political operative Patrick Davis told Breitbart News on Friday. “We are talking with convention delegates face to face [and] changing minds.”

What a horrible way to elect candidates.. So, what you are saying is that there’s a whole lot of arm twisting going on.

So, what you are saying is that there’s a whole lot of arm twisting going on.

All I know about arm twisting in the state convention is what we are both hearing on the news today. In the last election, I had the impression that most of the skullduggery was coming from the delegates themselves (remember the Ron Paul supporters?) rather than from the candidates. Things are probably aggrevated this year because the delegates are even more unbound than usual due to the controversial elimination of even the straw poll.

I was thinking the same thing, Trump is popular in Nevada; of course the difference is we had honest, orderly, well-run caucuses here.

As I have pointed out on earlier occasions, I attended a state convention a few years ago and was so disgusted with the general quality of the delegates that I have avoided these things ever since. (This was the screaming mob who put Dan Maes at the top of the gubernatorial primary ballot.)

Latest Rueters/PopWarner tracking results are out. Looks pretty good for Pop Warner.

And what about that story y'all were posting the other day that Cruz 'for the first time took the lead in this poll?'

I guess I'm just a dumb and blind PopWarner and can't read a graph ... because I don't see where those lines cross?

Lyin NFL, It's time you punTED :-)

Most of these Colorado delegates will be from “non-urban areas” and likely won’t be intimidated by Trump trying to play New York Values Mafia style.

Don’t misunderstand, I’m all for Trump and Trumpbots pulling these sort of “gangster” threats. It has evolved into working very well..... to Cruz’s benefit.

Nevada is about as far from “Out West” as New York City. Its majority of voters are in Clark County, Ex-Pats from NY and Kali, NOT regular Nevadans.

You know why so many conservatives are flipping from Cruz to Trump? We learn about the 2 from sources other then the 6 corp media and Cruz camp.

ConJoy:

Interesting history of Donald J. Trump’s delegate guru, Paul J. Manafort:

“He (Manafiot) also worked from in Ukraine on the campaign of Viktor Yanukovych even as the U.S. government (and McCain) opposed Yanukovych because of his ties to Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Manafort was hired to advise Yanukovych months after massive street demonstrations known as the Orange Revolution overturned Yanukovych’s victory in the 2004 presidential race. Borys V. Kolesnikov, Yanukovich’s campaign manager, said the party hired Manafort after identifying organizational and other problems in the 2004 elections, in which it was advised by Russian strategists.”
