COLORADO SPRING, Colo. — Sen. Ted Cruz finished Colorado's delegate fight the way he started it: With overwhelming victory.
Donald Trump finished it the way he started as well: With a disorganized and frustrated campaign plagued by mistakes.
Cruz took all 13 of the delegates up for grabs on Saturday to complete a clean sweep of the state. Delegates endorsed by his campaign swept all seven Congressional District conventions held over the last week as well, which added another 21 delegates. Another three slots are reserved for state party officials.
"Today was another resounding victory for conservatives, Republicans, and Americans who care about the future of our country," the Cruz campaign said in a statement Saturday night. . . .

Supporters in Colorado nonetheless said they were frustrated with the campaign's chaotic and uncommunicative campaign, which failed to reach basic levels of competence.
"We could have had some things going, but the campaign decided to not put resources here," Becky Mizel, a former Pueblo County GOP chair and Trump delegate candidate, told NBC News.
On Saturday, Trump backers passed out flyers at the convention site with official campaign slate of 13 delegates and 13 alternates accompanied by their three-digit number position on the 600-plus person ballot. Seven of the names, however, directed people to the wrong number and one delegate's name was misspelled. Other candidates did not have errors on their slates.
In one case, an erroneous number corresponded with a Cruz supporter. A second flyer handed out by the Trump campaign contained four mismatched names and numbers.
Looks like it was the Trump campaign that got the delegate numbers wrong.
Ohhhhhh I see how we are going to spin this. It was all Trump’s fault, huh? No deception on the part of the “#NeverTrump” GOPe and that Scum Cruz’s campaign.

“Moments after announcing that Ted Cruz had swept all 34 delegate slots at the Colorado GOP convention Saturday, the state party tweeted: “We did it. #NeverTrump.”
Cruz = party hacks, GOPe lowlifes
I thought I read somewhere that the Trump campaign said they did everything correctly, just the Co. GOP changed thingds after the last minute and didn’t tell them, which is why the ballots ended up being incorrect.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that is really what happened.
The GOPe and Cruz will engage in any dirty tricks to try to deny Trump the nomination.
As always, behind every visionary leader has to be a detail man to make it happen. The detail guy does all the work the visionary gets all the credit.
I read that Cruz got 17, 4 remained unbound.

Colorado; where the official @cologop actually tweets out; “We did it. #nevertrump”. It was their mission.
Colorado GOP elites are #nevertrump

#nevertrump is more than a simple political statment - it’s a mission statement. And it was executed by the Colorado GOP as a mission statement. That is not we-the people.

Cruz has consistently cheated and been dishonest. He is scum. Not voting for him.
This is NBC, and NBC will never report an accurate story. Mostly because they’re liars, but also because they’re lazy.
Cruz told the Colorado crowd earlier that it’s easy to talk about making America great again — “you can even print that on a baseball cap” — but that the more important question is which candidate understands “the principles and values that made America great in the first place.”
Does that mean getting in bed with and wildly fornicating and fluffing every establishment elitist he can get close to?
Wow he makes me sick. To think I bought his book “A Time For Truth”. I actually believed he was “the only principled candidate in the race”. He proved how stupid I was to believe him. Six months ago no one would have believed Cruz would be where he is right now - in bed with the GOP elite.
I’ll still vote for him if he is the nominee but I’d like a refund on the book.

Bahaha ha Ever thought that the Author of The Art of the Deal is a bumbling fool? Trump’s people made their own voting papers. The only thing they did wrong was put the wrong names on the papers with the wrong numbers..
Sen. Goldman Cruz is a scheming sociopath who steal
when he does not win by a normal vote.
SCUM, he is.
Cheater, Ashley Cruz is.
Blackmailer, FioRIN-protected Cruz is.
And ... Romney-Cruz voted to allow ObamaTRADE thinking his
supporters were STUPID. The remnant are.
Any delegates not selected by the People are illegitimate. Only the votes in primaries or caucuses are valid. To Hell with district conventions and Superdelegates.
But, Trump will surround himself with good people!
Trump is playing full contact checkers. Cruz is playing 3D Spok-like chess.
Lazy as in too lazy to read what Trump delegate Becky Mizel had to say?
Trump is playing full contact checkers. Cruz is playing 3D Spok-like chess.
And after he helps in taking trump down, the establishment will turn on him
You cruz disciples are so short sighted. Ok with winning battles and losing
the war.
BETTER TO LOSE WITH CRUZ. Theres a reason this is the establishments new mantra.
“According to Raw Story, the account was hacked.”

Colorado GOP claims. Believe them at your own peril.
