Former Colorado state Republican party chairman Ryan Call talked to Laura Ingraham today to explain the delegation-selection process works and how it "cuts out any semblance of democracy or the popular will." Call said the statewide convention that chooses the delegates reinforces all the worst stereotypes of the party.

"The very time we should be opening up our doors and being more open and transparent, and welcoming people into our Party, we’ve essentially made the decision to close it off and make it more cumbersome and more difficult. And, to prevent the ability of people to have their voice heard in this process. You’re reinforcing all of the very worst stereotypes about the Party and I, frankly, am very concerned about the way voters are going to feel," Call told Ingraham.

Mind-boggling indeed. Colorado GOP party leaders, working in conjunction with the RNC, took measures to avoid an influx of new Republican voters from potentially altering the party’s own approved delegate outcome by effectively banning Donald Trump supporters from being part of the process.

[sparklite2]

I didn’t spend much money on voting, and didn’t give money to any candidate or PAC. The sham was just that. But for the wealthy backers who provided many millions of dollars in campaigning financing only to find out nobody benefited except the media, that’s gotta sting.

Colorado RNC made their decision to stop the voting:

And to think there are Cruz people on FR that are totally proud of this crap going on.

[Magnum44]

Savage is ripping Cruz on the air right now. Says he cant call himself conservative if he supports rigged elections.

[stubernx98]

SOP for Oligarchies. No Democracy has lasted more the a couple of Hundred years. Some for only days i.e Russia, 25 years for Venezuela;

[mikelets456]

Before 1913 (T. Roosevelt) there were no primaries. Now we have delegates making up part or all of the votes....change the delegates, change the system...However, Trump should have known this is how the system works and it’s his fault for not knowing it.

[manc]

Callin g now and this shows how the GOP and cruz are so out of touch to the public.
They rap themselves in their elitist, circle and then do things lie this thinking they can rely on our hatred of Clinton to give them a vote.

They seriously have screwed up and the CO , LA, TN delegates need to be done again.

[TexasGator]

When you call the GOP, complain about Trump getting more delegates per vote than Cruz or any of the others!

---

Trump now leads the Republican field with 756 delegates — or 45 percent of all delegates awarded to date. Yet he has won about 37 percent of all votes in the primaries, according to the NBC analysis, meaning Trump’s delegate support is greater than his actual support from voters.

Trumps job now is to educate the people of the criminal behavior of the RNC/Cruz thugs.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Trump is like a pigeon on a chessboard. Instead of playing the game set out before him, he struts about knocking over pieces, crapping on the board and then declares himself the winner.

The winner is NOT the person who gets CLOSEST to 1237. Whether Trump and his supporters like it or not, a candidate must get at leas that number. So far Trump is doing very little to win supporters past the first round of voting. So, instead of whining that Cruz is “stealing” delegates, don’t you think that he might ought to think beyond the first round of voting and act accordingly?

[manc]

If cruz had an ounce of decency he would tell the GOP to stuff it and do a proper , fair election and he doe snot want those delegates if they do not represent the people.
Course he would have denounced the attack on trumps wife too , which started all of that crap , but he never.

Thanks for posting.....

Just mind Befouling STUPIDD!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Colorado changed the process months before the first vote was cast in ANY caucus or primary.
