Stop trying to rationalize what was clearly a cooked outcome.

Let me repeat: when the contents of a supposedly random sample are so radically different from the contents of the population that sample was taken from, then the sample is *not* random.

Sorry for the intellectual language, but it is really hard to express that concept in 6th grade language.

You could picture it this way: pour a quart of red jelly beans in a jar, and mix in a cup each of green and blue jelly beans. Once they are thoroughly mixed, reach in a grab a handful of jelly beans. The jelly beans in your hand will be roughly 2/3 red, 1/6 green, and 1/6 blue. There is no way to randomly grab a handful of blue beans. So if you have a handful of blue beans, I know you picked them non-randomly out of the jar.

If that's true then you should be able to produce the names of the cheaters and EVIDENCE that they cheated.

One does not have to have the details of how a crime was committed to know one was committed. The evidence that Cruz insiders cheated is the fact that Cruz "won" the caucus despite polling data that shows Trump in first place in Colorado. The details await an investigation.

It's a bit amazing to me: Cruz put on a big dog-and-pony show about being the "principled true conservative" in the race, yet the people who fell for that are not at all concerned about his blatant cheating? That is clear evidence of "cognitive dissonance." Well, that is not quite true, and not fair to all of the Cruz supporters: many of them *did* turn away from Cruz after they saw what happened in CO. Overall, Cruz came in behind Kasich last night.

One last question: Do you expect Cruz to be able to steal electors in the electoral college as easily as he stole the Colorado caucus?

Got Due Process?

That. Requires. EVIDENCE.

I’m familiar with the corruption in the Colorado GeeOpie. Anyone with common sense can see it.

Just dig into the antics of this guy:

“Today, the public face of the Colorado Senate GOP majority is Sean Paige, a former AFP Colorado employee whose salary is widely rumored to be “privately” funded” - See more at: http://coloradopols.com/diary/81884/off-the-deep-end-as-cadman-vs-everyone-war-intensifies#sthash.wU5eyF6y.dpuf

A former High School friend of mine who rode the coat tails of the Colorado GeeOpie fairly high into W’s RINOcracy thought it was cute to post a meme on his facebook page BEFORE A SINGLE STATE PRIMARY VOTE HAD BEEN CAST IN ANY STATE:

“Relax, it won’t be Trump”

I don’t think that’s acceptable either.

America’s system of justice requires Due Process and EVIDENCE. We may not like the rest of GeeOpie’s rules - but that one in particular should get CONSERVED and not be tossed with the bath water. Don’t you agree?

From your home page:

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
- Edmund Burke

You ever notice how that’s a ginormous PITA to anybody with a conscience? I could’ve had a quiet normal life with a surfboard and a shopping cart. But nooooooo! ;-)

We’re on the same side FRiends.

Let’s work together and conservatively reform America into what it was intended to be.

If people cheated - America needs them to be held justly, and fairly, accountable.
