These are the ethics, behavior, rules and methods of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

This whole caucus system here in CO is corrupt, and it’s been corrupt for years. It’s the doing of ‘the good ole GOP boys’.

All the Trump shutout has done is bring a focus to the way it’s rigged.

The Cruzers are cheering that their guy ‘won’.

What fools they are.

All it shows is that Cruz is the remaining establishment candidate.

Trump would have won if the GOPe thought they could roll him later on, but they know they can’t.

They’ll spin Cruz so fast the Cruzers won’t even have time to post their objections here on FR.

These “games” are effective to secure a nomination.

They are completely ineffective to secure the presidency.

Back room deals mean nothing on the first Tuesday in November, when the people walk into a booth and cast their vote.

[AndyJackson]

Feels great to be a commie right here on Freerepublic, doesn’t it?

Da, tovarisch! CO has adopted the rules of the CPSU.

“I’d rather win with a liberty loving candidate”

If this SOB cared one thing about the Constitution he would not be trying to run for president because HE KNOWS HE’S INELIGIBLE. He’s no more eligible to be US president than Winston Churchill was. How many historians have ever said the great Churchill could have ran for US president because his mother was a natural born citizen of the United States? Not a one. Not the first one. Cruz is a fraud of the first degree.

The shooting war may not start over minority uprisings or borders or gun confiscations door to door or obviously not over national healthcare or Islam but rather over a GOP primary season where we’ve discovered who’s the real enemy.

I've been wanting to post basically the same thing; but I wasn't sure how to say it—except that I thought the shooting war would begin with armed conflict between the Bureau of Land Management (the other "BLM") and local sheriffs acting on behalf of residents.

“the state of Colorodo itself decided not to have a caucus or a primary.”

No, it was a party decision. The democrats had a caucus. The GOP leader in the state yesterday said he decided against a caucus, straw poll, or vote because national GOP rules would have required him to apportion delegates according to the results.
Its on his facebook page.

It was a GOP decision, and it was corrupt.

It really doesn't matter, the entire process taints the Republican Party And Ted Cruz. The bottom line is the GOPe is responsible for this entire mess and what should have been a cake walk for the Republican nominee is turning into a cake walk for The Dems and Hillary. I do not think there is anyway to pull the party together again, Trump and Cruz voters have been treated so poorly by the party and other voters I just do not see them voting for the other one. Damn shame.

[JerseyDvl]

Can’t wait for bad things to happen to Cruz. He’s shown himself so unlikable and clearly a bad guy. If he ever makes it past Cleveland the opposition research and eligibility cases before Dem friendly judges will be delicious.
Trump will fight on and win a 3 party race with two very bloodied opponents.

[Karl Spooner]

With Cruzer support. What website is this?

[Falcon4.0]

Talk about "Voter Suppresion".
The democrats are going to use this to club republicans like baby Seals.

[itsahoot]

It’s not Cruz’s fault the “voters didn’t get a voice” it’s COLORADO’s “fault” (and since when do we conservatives from other states feel we have a “right” to tell other states how they do business? The only ones on this board who have a right to complain are residents of Colorado. Everyone else should shut up).

Maybe not, but he doesn't have to celebrate an accept the votes.

Cruz will never be president, period.

Where I live any Republican has less chance of winning than I do and I am not running.

This is the year that the political machine could die and sadly many on FR seem determined to keep it alive.

I know go full birther

Thanks for that.

The 'Party' apparatus is boss, you stupid, stupid people, the rules are made to ensure the will of the 'Party' the people be damned, bwahahahahahahaha....

[Balding_Eagle]

It’s not going to come to that, trump is going to get his 1237.

The fight then will be the rule changes, and who knows what and how they will change them.

Personally, I think CO is just a feeler to see how the public might react to a trump shutout at the convention.

the state of Colorodo itself decided not to have a caucus or a primary.

Lying Ted thanks the voters of Colorado for their support even though they never had a chance to vote for anyone. Lying weasel Ted Cruz not only steals the votes but also lies about it!

[Tennessee Nana]

Ted Cruz was tainted long before Colorado...

He took up with Glen Beck and hasn’t looked back...

Teddy Bears on the border doesn’t get a wall built...
