Social media posts, along with Cruzs campaign website, reveal that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) supporters in the Colorado Republican Party were responsible for crushing an effort to give Colorado the ability to vote in a state primary. In May of 2015, four Colorado Senate Republicans killed an initiative to create a presidential primary in 2016, reported the Denver Post. Under the bill, Colorado would have held a presidential primary in March that ran parallel with the states complicated caucus system
when it came before the Senate Appropriations Committee, four Republicans voted to kill the bill with three Democrats supporting it. The four Republicans who voted against the initiative were Sen. Kevin Grantham, Sen. Kent Lambert, Sen. Laura Woods, and Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg. On Cruzs campaign website, Sens. Woods, Grantham, and Lambert are all listed as Cruz supporters and as declared members of Cruzs Colorado Leadership team. I am honored to have the support of so many courageous conservatives in Colorado, Cruz said about his so-called leadership team in early April. With our incredible team we are in a very strong position for this weekends assemblies in Colorado. Sen. Grantham is even an official Cruz delegate and Sen. Lambert is an alternate Cruz delegate.

So they planned this years ago? Are they time-travelling alien beings?
They are really GOPe delegates who are riding a horse named Ted Cruz to the Republican Convention. On the second or third ballot this horse will be shot and sent to the glue factory as the GOPe puts forth a more dependable stooge such as John “The Deadhead” Kasich, Marco Rubio or who knows what.
I hope they are paying you well
“So they planned this years ago?”
Obviously. Fidel Castro also plans for his voterless elections years in advance.
Globalists think long term and Hedi's the real reason they haven't spewed enough dirt on Ted to bury him, not because they think they can work with Ted who they all despise. This is about salvaging Hedi, not much about Ted really.
JMHo
You might have something there! Senior partner, junior partner, Seasoned hack politician takes the young rebel under his wing for the number two slot. How about this for a bet: Kasich/Cruz on the third ballot. You heard it here first! (I am 100% Trump2016)
“So they planned this years ago? Are they time-travelling alien beings?”
No, just narcissistic control freaks who don’t want the will of the people to take their power away.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder:
Symptoms include an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others’ feelings, an inability to handle any criticism, and a sense of entitlement.
The disorder needs to be diagnosed by a professional. Treatment involves talk therapy.
>So they planned this years ago?
They planed to rig it for Jeb. Once every other GOPe candidate besides Cruz dropped out, they switched to Cruz.
No. They rigged the process. They did not want a vote ever. They have always wanted a controlled system.
Are the democrats’ 700 super-delegates a rigged system?
National GOPe in cahoots with
State level GOPe
All are corruptocrat thieves with a screw America attitude along as we get ours! They could are less about amnesties, open borders and destructive trade deals.
You miss the point. The same state legislators who created the legislative basis for this non-voting system statewide JUST HAPPEN TO BE on Cruz’s campaign team, ensuring their candidate benefits. Total conflict of interest.
Uhhh.....May 2015 was less than a year ago. When they planned it, it had already become unsettling that Jeb wasn't going to be an easy sale as the candidate, and there were rumblings that a lot of folks the elite didn't control were contemplating a run. They planned it as part of the scheme that the party insiders would control the delegates in as many states as possible.
Let me spell it out to you, in case nobody let you in on the plan. Jeb didn't have to win every state. But a lapdog who would support him did have to have control of as many states as possible, so they could throw their states delegates to Jeb if he didn't have it first ballot. Trump messed that up by driving Jeb out of the race. The only guys the not-so-invisible-anymore hand still has standing are Cruz (easily bought out) and Kasich. Thus, the strategy is down to them and anyone they can still dust off. When the rules were changed in CO, it was most probably because they knew those pesky voters couldn't be trusted to vote for someone in the in crowd.
That the state Senators who thwarted a vote to allow a primary are Cruz delegates is the smoking gun that it was a rigged game.
2DV, what happened to you this election cycle? I remember you as a poster who used to be quite disdainful of things that threaten the integrity of the US as a free nation, where voters decide.
Scruz the Vote!

Doesn’t matter. Cruz can do all the dirty crap he wants. It just legitimizes Trump going third party if they steal the nomination from him. I’ll gladly vote third party for Trump. Cruz keeps proving time and again that he is an INSIDER.
