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.
You people are sitting here on a public forum congratulating each other on vote rigging ...most people are repulsed by this and your cavalier attitude about it...keep up the good work
If you want to believe "the polls", then 70% of Americans don't want Trump.
Just sayin'
This is how it has always worked since the Republican party was created.
Colorado is communist territory. It’s liberal with small pockets of conservative voters...but those conservative voters don’t like ‘transients’ which is how they would view Trump. Because Cruz claims Texas, they’d rather have him. He’s not as much as a transient.
However, I seriously doubt he’d be able to fly over the communists,and Colorado has become VERY communist. It USED to be a rather free place with communist accent flavoring, here and there, but not any more.
and even more don’t want the blobfish.
Bush? He's the brother of a high-level Cruz employee.
Vote rigging? LOL. Keep showing your ignorance.
Except for the fact that these people were elected by neighborhood precinct caucuses that any registered Republican could take part in. Most just chose Cruz supporters to the State and Congressional District Conventions.
Don’t like it? I guess your fellows should have been more involved!!
COMPLETELY disagree.
Bush Sr, Dole, Bush Jr, McCain and Romney were all GOP establishment, the very same people who have now lined up completely behind CRUZ.
All of them. Every single person. Trump is saying the GOP is completely on the wrong path. I agree strongly. Cruz has the support of all the people you mentioned. Not Trump.
Everyone is attacking Trump.
All of them.
Yet he is winning with voters.
You don’t understand Rule 40. Go back and read it and you will see what you got wrong.
Awesome!
Thumbs up and God speed, David!
Cruz/GOPe can’t win straight up , so they resort to this and you sickos cheer it on ...unreal
You wouldn’t happen to be kin to Dick Durbin, would you ?
I think it was Ann Coulter who said, “Trump wins primaries, where the people vote. Cruz wins caucuses, where the party selects.”
My congratulation to Cruz.
Like Trump, you clearly don't understand the process. If Trump weren't asleep at the wheel as he saves his way through the primary, and managed to do what Cruz has accomplished in Colorado, you'd be crowing here about what a man of the people and great deal maker he is.
Don't look now but your double standard is showing.
“This” has always been the process. Not Cruz’s fault that Trump and his team are ignorant of that.
It’s a nice meme to say people pick trump but the party is picking Cruz.
That’s all it is though. Passionate people get things done. Fair weather folks do one thing and step away feeling like there effort should matter as much as the one who has spent hours and days working for it.
If Cruz’ efforts are making you feel impotent - do something. Posting her won’t help because all you’ll get out of it are affirmations. Yes! People agree that trump should be allowed to walk into the Whitehouse now! Or, yes! People who support Cruz are wearing blinders.
Truth is we are, mostly, good folks who are passionate.
What can you do in your town, county, district, state? I’m saying this as a FRiend and a person who’s frustration has been put to good use in the past.
Of course that would give Trump another chance to scream cheater at those actually understanding and following those rules he he'd been too cheap and lazy to learn and use. Even while he was using a different part of those same rules to garner about 25% more delegates than his his percent of the actual vote. He swiped them from the losing candidates through the winners bonuses the rule's have provided. Trump will likely have a couple hundred such delegates by the time this is over, but never even mentions that unfairness.
