How did they know that this was going to be close at the end of February. Trump was dominant and still is.

The Jebstate people were paranoid people wearing Trump shirts were counting votes in Nevada. No way anyone beats Trump in Nevada even if there was some double voting as the Cruzers claim.

Trump backed up his Nevada result in the east with big wins.

They managed to hide this somewhere on their facebook with 41 likes.

Read Steve’s last line.

Something about these creeps for Cruz delegates “... giving Coloradans the opportunity they need to express their preference for president “.

LOL!

When Steve House debated Ryan Call at a Mesa County Republicans luncheon, it was a non-debate. Both supported the system which is now a national scandal.

According to a recent Denver Post article entitled "Party leaders united behind legislation this session, as ballot initiative looms", Steve House is apparently taking note of the torches and pitchforks and changing his tune.

(I tried to post a thread on this article at the time it came out, but the Denver Post is apparently verboten for copyright reasons.)

Stealing peoples’ right to vote is an invitation to a shooting war. These people have so far been fortunate that the general public is more civilized than they are. Keep pushing, and that may change.

The system worked. Cruz would’ve won the state in a primary vote and he’s the won who won the delegates under this system. So everything worked out perfectly.

No wonder the legalized pot in that state; they’re all zonked out of their teensy minds.

I’m glad we eliminated the messy issue of actually letting the people vote, Comrade. The system where only the party picks the candidate is much more progressive.

Anyone still believe Cruz is a conservative after a stunt like this?

This is a guy that raises a the bible over his head. Glenn Beck says he is the second coming.

Actually it was the Progressive Party that got the first primary going in 1910 in Oregon. Prior to that all of the nominees were selected using the caucus or convention method. And I believe on an even more closed playing field with just the upper levels of politicos in the communities involved in the process.

In my state of Washington the district caucus and submitting your name as a delegate to be voted on is open to any registered Republican voter. And the people that vote you in to the state convention are just regular folks.

My daughter and I were elected (newbies) to go to the state convention. Several others elected was their first time as well. It will be interesting to see what happens at state. And the democrats in our state voted to have the Republican state primary to AFTER the convention! Goofy stuff. (The democrats just have the caucus - and Bernie won in Washington. Good grief!).

Nope. Not at all.

Cruz has proved to me that he’s a win by any means, including shutting out voters.

He likely belongs in his father’s native country.

How do you have the audacity to claim that you know the result of an imaginary primary?

A messenger from God whispered in your ear?

Cruz didn’t pull off any stunt, he gamed the system that was setup by others. The Colorado system is obviouslt broken and bad but set up in August last year long before anyone knew who’d be ahead in the polls.

If you find a loophole to get out of a traffic ticket you use it. Hate the system not the guy who learned how to use it.

If they were concerned about the lack precautions and security measures of an actual election...why was that not addressed earlier? Seems like this gentleman should be held responsible and he is playing with words

The more Cruz uses underhanded tactics and vote stealing to thwart the will of the people, the more I am convinced that his “conservative credentials” are nothing more than a spiel he uses to bamboozle people.

Principled conservatives do not resort to Democrat election-stealing tactics in order to win at any cost. If they are losing, they step down graciously—as many candidates have already done.

I’ve seen people (mostly leftists) complain about the electoral college for years. However, it is becoming very clear that the electoral college does not disenfranchise voters. Nope, the primary process does that quite efficiently.

Yes Cruz does since he stands by it.

Any moral person would not stand by canceling the Primaries, and the votes of the American people. It’s unAmerican and disgusting!

Has it even crossed your mind this could be done to Cruz by Hillary?
