#NeverTrump will turn out to be #NeverWin. Maybe that was the RNCs plan all along. Remember Jeb Bush said he will be the party's nominee.

Ahhh...it’s so refreshing to see you Trump Bots resorting back to your tired tactic of throwing out unfounded accusations. Face it, your candidate is a bloviating blowhard who has zero substance and has made his way in life via bullying tactics. And he’s finally come up against someone who doesn’t back down to him...so, what does Trump do? He whines about it. He foments resentment and has his surrogate thugs call for violence.

At this point in the game, Trump supporters are either:

1. Genuine patriots who have been fooled by Trump.
2. Willfully ignorant hacks.
3. Part of Trump’s thug support group.

Trump knew or should have known how Colorado assigns delegates, and he should have had his team there to make sure the outcome was as favorable to him as possible

When the calling card for the republican committee is #nevertrump, the presence or absence of Trump people or Trump himself would make no difference.

The establishment has no plans of being open minded and swayed by Trump and his people.

Get down from your high horse, the thin air is screwing with your logic center.

At this point #1 may be at the maximum 10%, none of them Freepers. The rest is split between #2 and #3.

Had Trump played by those rules, instead of ignoring the state, he could have done quite well.

This is a myth. Trump supporters were deliberately targeted and in many cases not allowed to become delegates according to the rules. Same thing in many other states, where Trump delegates tell me that the only reason they got through is because they pretended to be supporting the GOPe.

It is rigged.

In our state delegate meeting, some of the Cruz supporters said they would vote for Trump on the first round, but Cruz on the second. Other supporters said they would not support Trump on the first round, let alone the second.

I am a Trump supporter and will not support Cruz, but the difference is if Cruz had won the state I would not be running to be a delegate to stack the deck. I would let the ones who could genuinely support either candidate run.

So if Cruz supporters get a chance they will nullify the vote of the people. Only Cruz supporters were elected at our meeting in NC.

The attitude of some of the Cruz supporters is to steal the election from the people, who stood in lines for hours to vote. I was an election official this year and saw the turn out for myself. I reported to the polls before 6am and didn’t leave until almost 11pm. The state also had a huge turn out for early voting. The people wanted to vote for their candidate and not have their votes nullified by the party elites.

I heard this explained as the Colorado GOPe was so upset by the choices foisted on them by the tea party in 2010 they went into OT to ensure that would not happen again i.e. having the party dictated to by the people. So, they put in place this bastard child process that basically disenfranchises anyone who dismisses the will of the party officials.

Your point is correct, Cruz is nothing more here now than the face of the GOPe. Once the general convention fails to pass a winner on the first round, the games begin. Many of Cruz’s delegates will bolt to what the party officials want be it Yep, Gaysick, Firorino etc. As the voting continues more votes will be pulled off Cruz and some off Trump and finally Trump will bolt and the die will be cast.

Notice that one does not hear Karl and his bunch saying squat these days. They know the game and are not going to comment. Most insiders know the game too and are not going say a word either. Recall the big anti Trump coordinated attack was to start right after April 1st along with his being removed from network TV. Lastly, Cruz the simpleton was given his head knowing there is not a chance he gets to 1237 so he was played like a fiddle, give him the caucauses and the set ups and let him aggravate Trump to the point he explodes and leaves the playing field. The pin setter comes down and a new frame begins with all the pins in play. Teddy will find that his rolls then become gutter balls as he gets passed by faster than a naked hobo.

I’m no Trump fan, but I think they are 100% honest in their beliefs. We are generating enough hard feelings as is.

>> Trump supporters who know the truth are willfully promoting the false narrative that the Colorado vote was rigged. <<

If Mr. Trump and his staff had been able to work a “deal” like this one, I guess some of the Trump supporters would be writhing in orgasmic delight, while telling us that the Colorado coup had proven once again how brilliant Mr. Trump is at organizing and executing a complex operation.

get a frigging grip of yourself for crying out loud.
You know damn well the whole process on both sides are rigged.

Did you see the tweet by a delegate right after the vote?
Party officials have said that it is not the voters which elect the candidate it is the party. The voter only thinks they vote for someone.

YOU keep defending this crap and you are not better than the establishment and corruption which has taken this country to hell.
