Ted Cruz backers have filled all 12 of the delegate slots at stake today in Colorado, swiftly navigating the complex process to consolidate support around his candidacy. His supporters now fill all 21 of the state’s allocated slots so far.

Rule 50. I got used to that a long time ago. Hundreds of disillusioned Freepers are going to toast the election of Hillary.

Wow. That’s just great. Just great.

The problem is that Cruz will beat Hillary just like he is going to beat Trump. That’s rule 2016. Get used to it.

Actually it’s Cruz, his GoPe cronies, MSM, and the Dem party working together to defeat the leading Republican candidate and elect Hillary. No other explanation for their action.

This race was over for Cruz after FL and OH primary. And any chance he had after that was thru a VP pick this year, and run in 8 years. He and the GoPe have blown that.

In other words, GoPe gets what they want, Hillary gets what she wants, MSM picks our candidate again, Trump goes back to his billions, and Cruz goes home to Texas, having ended any chance he will ever have as a national candidate, and we lose any chance we will ever have to turn back this collectivist wave rolling over our country,

Thank you Cruz voters.

It’s disgusting. Every state should have a primary.

Really? So you would take away the power of the states to determine how they allocate delegates. Some conservative you are.

FUTC! Is there any way for him to have a stroke?

I think we know who or what is disgusting around here.

Trump did not show up for the contest, but he still thinks he deserves to win. Leftists believe they are metaphysically superior.

Going to be hilarious when all Cruz’s backroom dealings to win places like CO and ND are completely wiped out on April 19. Easy come, easy go.

Graham was on TV this a.m. and they did a replay of him saying that if you stabbed Cruz in the senate and the senate was judge and jury no one would be convicted. There were other clips of politicians, etc. saying how much they hate Cruz. But Ms. Linda admitted he's all they've got to stop Trump and save THE PARTY. Not the United States of America...THE PARTY. So they're behind him for the reasons we already knew...this is all about saving a PRIVATE ENTITY that makes it's own rules, that has betrayed us, let us be overrun by illegals, sold our jobs away, and run we taxpayers into insurmountable debt...all while they get richer and richer using the money WE have earned to do so.

Why...why would anyone in their right mind support this???

How is it cheating of you are playing by the rules? Oh that’s right. Because it doesn’t favor your guy at the moment.

One more time, because your reading and comprehension skills are severely lacking ... the people i’m talking about don’t normally vote, but they like Trump and I made sure they got out and voted for Trump ..how is that a cult ? ...don’t embarrass yourself any further

Oh I know exactly who you are referring to. Conservative Dems, AKA Reagan democrats who disappeared 30 years ago who never found a reason to vote for a conservative or even a Republican for that matter in all that time. Quite simply. Their support is fickle. Based on personality not on principle. It's Trump or walk.

And if your powers of persuasion can't get them to see that voting for Cruz over Hillary or Bernie is not in their best interest that only reinforces their stupidity. Or your lack of powers of persuasion.

Yet another example of Cruz winning a party event, while Trump continues to win POLLS.

People want Trump.

Political insiders, want Cruz.
——————————————]
I doubt Cruz will be the nominee—it will be Ryan or maybe Walker...but regardless, I won’t vote for Cruz.

“This” has always been the process. Not Cruz’s fault that Trump and his team are ignorant of that.

Cruz and his GOPe handlers are ignorant of the fact that you need ACTUAL voters in November.

As was Romney before him...

You people are sick


Yes, aren’t they?
Amazing what the GOPe stormtroopers will do in a primary, yet they will not lift a finger to fight in the general election.

I doubt Cruz even gets a single delegate out of NY.
You had better take a quick refresher course on how New York chooses delegates. The NY system basically guarantees some delegates for Cruz and the number could be large. They have a District by District allocation of delegates. NY is not a true Winner Take All State.

Also - Stay out bars on Election Day and avoid making any foolish bets between now and then.

Way to disenfranchise the voter! sCruz couldn’t win outright, now he’s got to steal it away from the American people. You Bozos on the left support the establishment over the people.


So true!!!!!!!

Makes my head hurt to read, just like the IRS, the whole system needs to be simplified so Joe Schmoe who doesn't have time to go through all these political machinations, can have his vote count, right now it seems delegates aren't representing what the majority of voters want, just what the majority of a few insider political party wonks want.

So why have voter primaries, just call them delegate primaries and let them have delegate rallies, just forget about what the people actually want, just the delegates matter. Glad Trump is exposing the absolute corruption of the political process and Cruz is indirectly helping too by just playing the game the corrupt way it's set up to be played.

As long as it’s “legal” they feel free to cheat, and cheat and cheat principles be damned.

Funny, that sounds just like the way Trump described himself when confronted about buying politicians and using eminent domain to steal property from people to enrich himself...
