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.
Scruz the Vote!
This same exact thread was posted at 8:49 pm by 4rcane. Why the duplicate thread less than 5 hrs later? (Yank it)
I love how Ted keeps claiming how the voters have spoken and Donald Trump should quit whining after he wins a handful of votes in caucus states and literally has delegates handed to him without an election in Colorado. Hey, Ted-News Flash for you-the voters have spoken and they overwhelmingly don’t want you nominated.
Revealed: Colorado Lawmakers Who Voted to Scrap Election Are Ted Cruz Delegates”
As if this fact is headline worthy. Of course they are Cruz delegates.
Because of course they are.
The CO list of 2012 delegates and 2016 delegates reveal many of the delegates pledged to Cruz are retreaded Romney supporters.
Santorum had won the Colorado 2012 vote by 6%. The Colorado delegation did not honor the vote. Instead the majority of delegates voted for Romney.
Here are some of Romney retread delegates from the delegate lists.
Kim Ransom
Libby Szabo
Joy Hoffman
John Carson
Kent Lambert
Robin Coran
Kendal Unruh
Guy Short
Steven Hofman
Ray Garcia
Kevin Grantham
Wayne Williams
Dudley Brown
After they cheated Santorum in 2012, a huge group CO republicans quit the republican party and became independents or went with one of the other 3rd parties popular in Colorado.
The selection process for Colorado delegates is a staged show they perform every 4 years. It is performed to disguise the fact that the delegates are primarily pre-selected cohorts of the party insiders. It disenfranchises 1,000,000 voters.
Do not fail to recognize that these delegates had been pre-slated for JEB BUSH and merely functioning as placeholders until the GOPe dumps Cruz for their own boy.
I hope that one of you I pinged will get this information to Trump asap. tku
And from the neighboring Wyoming state:
Rules changes whittled the voters down real good.
2,114 committeemen chose delegates in 2012.
903 committeemen chose delegates in 2016
They reduced the pesky voters by another 55%
Way to go Wyoming GOPe.! 03% of the registered Rs voted.
2020 get it down to about 50 cronies and meet in a bar to vote.
Crooked Hillary? How about tedthecrook? If the only way he can win is to steal it (as he’s done before) why in God’s name would anyone want him to be our president...he will simply steal more from the people than is already being done presently.lyin’, stealin’ted.
Hillary approves of your "Slimy Ted" comment - the more personal attacks back and forth between republicans, the more republicans will stay home in November.
As for me, I don't see this as a psychic Cruz plot against Trump back before they knew it would be Trump-Cruz. I see it as the insiders deciding to eliminate the primary so they could control the delegates and then the insiders choosing themselves as those delegates. It's not how this should be run, but that is a reflection on the Colorado party leadership, not on Cruz.
This strategy of winning against the will of the voters/despite the voters/in spite of the voters is a guaranteed loser. If Cruz somehow maneuvers into the nomination despite more and more voters turning against him, if will simply ensure a Democrat wins. That is the best he can hope for.
Ted Cruz: “I am the king of voterless states!”™
So when the GOP hands you delegates for playing by their rules, the trick is to call it having “a good ground game.”
Got it.
Nothing crooked here, Rush will not even mention this today
SO WHO FRIGGIN CARES! The voters of Colorado voted them their representatives. THEY are the ones who have to live with it. If that is their choice, so be it! If you live in another state, it is not your’s to judge. SO...Butt the hell out and shut up about it!
This was rigged from beginning to end. I think that it violates the constitution blatantly . What happened to “1 man 1 vote”. How did we get oligarchy? I have never seen such public rage. Cruz dropped nationally 11% last week ( Fox Poll) and following the Colorado theft. 1 WEEK!!
