Presidential candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump has blasted the primary voting policies calling the rigged. Hes right. And now we have evidence to prove it!
There was never even a vote! The delegates met prior to the primaries and passed around a resolution which forbade delegates to vote for Trump for president or vice president because of a list of arbitrary reasons.
Robert Zubrin, who was elected as an alternate delegate, submitted on March 22 to American Thinker that he had written the resolution.
Resolution to Forbid Colorado Delegates from Voting for Donald Trump
Whereas Donald Trump is not a Republican; and
Whereas Donald Trump is a demagogue who is using fear, hate, and lies to assemble a mob in support of an agenda of socialist policy, unlimited government, and strongman rule; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the Western alliance which is the basis of American security; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the system of international trade which is the basis of American prosperity; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the freedom of the press that is the basis of American liberty; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the rule of law which is the basis of American civil society; and
Whereas Donald Trump has mocked those who risked their lives to fight for America when he avoided doing so; and
Whereas Donald Trump has acted as an apologist for Americas enemy Vladimir Putin and other brutal anti-American foreign tyrants; and
Whereas Donald Trump has set himself forth as an open exponent of lust, greed, and other vices antithetical to Judeo-Christian ethics and the moral fiber necessary to sustain a republic; and
Whereas Donald Trump has demonstrated that he has no respect for the truth, and
Whereas Donald Trump has defrauded thousands of ordinary Americans of their life savings; and
Whereas Donald Trump has, in the course of the present campaign, committed acts potential prosecutable as incitement to riot, a federal crime punishable by up to five years in prison; and
Whereas Donald Trump has knowingly acted to degrade the Republican presidential nominating process to a vile level that can only serve to drive people of talent and integrity out of the party and assist in the election of the partys opponents; and
Whereas the nomination of Donald Trump for president would insure a landslide defeat for the Republican Party nationwide in the fall, and deeply damage the Republican Party and the conservative movement for years, and possibly decades to come; and
Whereas a vote for Donald Trump by any member of the Colorado delegation to the Republican National Convention would dishonor and disgrace the Colorado Republican Party;
Therefore, be it resolved that:
The Colorado Republican Party forbids any of its delegates to the Republican National Convention to vote for Donald Trump for president or vice president on the first ballot or any other ballot, and
The Colorado Republican Party asks its delegates to national convention to pledge on their honor to do everything in their power to help secure the presidential nomination for someone other than Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has threatened the Republican Party with mob violence. Lets tell him where to go!
They had 10 seconds on stage. They had the rest of the time to lobby reps personally on the Senate floor.
Fake voter choice where none existed.
Not true. There was plenty of choice. But the most prominent choice of all was the choice by Team Trump not to compete, not to participate, not to organize, and not to work towards getting delegates seated.
Trump won't attend state's GOP assembly
Only those preselected had a chance period.
Total BS made up on the spot.
I'm not whining. If Cruz loses he loses. That how the game is played.
Don’t get it eh? I am not surprised.
Cruz: “I am the king of voterless states!”
saw this kind of thing happen all the time in my time working within the GOP
it’s amazing how regularly these “accidents” occur - if this was common across the rest of civilization the first stiff breeze would blow skyscrapers over
This resolution has been circulated recently and is taste of the TDS out there among amped up Cruz delegates in caucus meetings or whatever Colorado calls this frat party they had, for sure, but the resolution hold no water officially and the rag was denounced by the Colorado chairman there as a non-binding exercise by one individual.
The really weighty stuff that matters is performed is much more subtle, stealth. The rejection of TRUMP and the systematic rejection of his supporters trying to serve as his earned delegates and his at large delegates actually has no finger prints, no names mentioned, and absolutely no ties that can be traced to the bigs.
Trump is the only one who can beat Hillary, he won’t play games with her like Cruz and Kasich would.
Let’s check back with you in a couple of weeks.
I've got miles of ocean front property in Arizona I'd like to sell you!
Gotta make sure he has that TM. Ha.
I sure did....I loved it. ;>)
Surely, you were there and are giving us an unbiased, eyeball, first hand report, aren't you?
Trump is a sore loser.
The polls are fake. Wake up!
The pieces sure seem to be coming together quickly. Obama giving $150 billion dollars to Iran, economic crashes (again) on the horizon, MotB technology though I’m sure most of the designers had that in mind (oops), trying to divide Israel, and the apparent decline of the U.S.A.
These things do not bode well. They seem to point at Daniel’s 70th Week which some of us call “The Tribulation” (granted it’s not spelled out directly like that).
Keep watching. I know you will.
Still not going to be whining. If Donald gets to 1237 delegates he wins the game. I can accept that. He chose to run in the Republican party primaries with their rules as did the other candidates. If you get the majority of delegates you win. If not, you don't. Each State determines how they are going to select their guy. There are primaries, there are caucuses, there are hybrids. You have to know the rules and provide the resources to take advantage of them.
it doesn’t matter
Oh, so its some rule you just made up out of thin air. I asked a serious question, and I get BS in return. Typical. Are you really not aware of what a convention is? Rank and file party members get show up at precinct caucuses and select representatives to attend the state convention. Those representative in turn select delegates to represent those members at the national convention. It doesn't surprise me that someone who has been a Democrat almost his entire life would be ignorant of how a Republic works.
For all you Trump supporters still in denial about why your candidate lost in Colorado, this should explain it:
Lots Of Enthusiasm At Colorado GOP Convention With Ted Cruz
Senator Ted Cruz - the first Presidential candidate to speak at the Colorado State Convention in 40 years.
oops s/b “I’m sure most of the designers did NOT have that in mind”
.... Unfortunately In order to beat the Democrat nominee it will take some serious teamwork which sadly is the weakest trait of the Republican Party.
.... Heck .... At present ..... I am really beginning to believe that the Republican nominee is going to be decided by a .... Yo Momma competition on Comedy Central.
