The problem was Cruz went around crowing like it was the greatest victory ever,11 elections in a row etc. He should have just said We did what we could, now let’s move on.
Masterful Mr. Trump.
Even a loss has zero downside to “Make America Great Again”. This is the most fascinating campaign in the history of the republic. Orchestrated and financed by an individual American. Epic.
HOORAY Trump. Thank you, sir.
Is spokespeople have said that they made a decision from the start not to spend time or resources in CO, because CO had changed its rules and eliminated the primary and/or caucus. Since this change came just two months after Trump became a candidate, they knew that the process would be rigged against him.
This is the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard, that tRump wanted to loose. tRump never WANTS to loose anything. More likely, he got out-trumped and can’t stand to admit it.
I think the GOPe just did what they do to everyone who isn’t a cultist like they are, and Trump is just looking to turn it to his advantage since he has the means to do so.
He wouldn’t bother them if he won by their “rules” (which for some reason they consider sacrosanct), but since that didn’t happen he is pointing out (gleefully) that their “rules” are themselves a violation of a much more widely held set of rules.
I’ve often thought the defining characteristic of the American people is that each any every one of them is an expert in religion, and politics.
What if this article is right up to the point that he planned to use it to steamroll to the nomination?
What if he is purposefully planning to fall short?
I remember Farah was one of the main ones who highlighted Obama’s lack of a birth certificate. He collected money to put up billboards to question Obama’s eligibility.
Now he endorses Cruz who is playing the same game with his citizenship documentation.
I no longer go to his site.
Of course he knows. The ESTABLISHMENT rules are there to help ESTABLISHMENT candidates. There are established and entrenched people and systems in various places that decide who can and who cannot play. The ONLY way to win in the short term is to join the ESTABLISHED system and do what they want. That’s what Cruz did. The way to win in the long term though is to go AROUND the established system wherever possible and make them irrelevant. That’s what Trump decided to do. There is zero gain by pouring time and money into areas where GOP political operatives are fully established. It doesn’t do any good because they’ll simply move the goalposts to make it harder. They turn it into a money pit.
YES, Colorado WAS Rigged. Breitbart found a smoking gun

‘Mizel took a photograph of a ballot in Congressional District 7 that included ONLY the ballot numbers of delegate candidates, NOT the names of the candidates as required by state bylaws.’
[Article Xiii of the Colorado Republican Convention bylaws, Assemblies and Conventions Section A.]
Trump also understands the larger issue... that this country was founded on the radical idea (at the time) that THE PEOPLE could be trusted to run their own government.
Other countries were run by self appointed elites... we were run by THE PEOPLE. It was a revolutionary change - and for the first time inalienable RIGHTS were given to THE PEOPLE. And systems were put in place to restrict the power hungry from stealing power from the people.
Trumps the ONLY one who ‘gets it’....
