If Trump wins the nomination the old fashioned way -- by earning through the votes -- you're going to put on Make America Great Again hat and be happy OR get zotted off into the cornfield
People voting is so old fashioned. Not sure if rubbing voters’ noses in this victory is a great idea.
Pray America wakes
The rules count when TRUMP VOTERS get cheated.
You think the rules were changed in August to favor Cruz over Trump? Hilarious... Actually the only change in August was to eliminate the "beauty pageant" straw poll, and that was because of a change in the rules by the RNC. Colorado has not used the straw poll results to allocate delegates for years, but the RNC ruled that you can't have a vote like that unless you use it to allocate delegates - so Colorado just dropped it to be in compliance with the RNC rules. Nothing about how the delegates are selected has changed since about 2004.
“The reason Trump lost Colorado is that he’s incompetent. Trump did not get his team organized in Colorado. And this is the same kind of screw up we can expect to see on a regular basis if Trump is elected President.’
That is not true. The reason Cruz won in Colorado is that his man is the head banana of the state party and used a parliamentary trick - that had NEVER been used before - to deny the people at the state convention a voice. He pulled this stunt after the initial vote by standing showed that Trump would win the state.
I’d bet that nobody outside of the 5 or 10 Cruz supporters who initiated the move understood that rule INCLUDING the Cruz supporters on the floor
It may have been “legal” under the rules but it at least has the appearance of being a slimy, unethical maneuver.
“I’d like to compare to other states, some people are calling me names and insulting me for asking. It seems like a simple question.”
The vote of Colorado citizens means nothing to this voltair bunch.
Stick to you guns. Trust yourself.
Last week 33% of Trump supporters said they wouldn’t vote for Cruz, I’m guessing this week its closer to 60%.
Correction. Trump tends to fare batter than Cruz in most states where voters Democrats and independents get to vote in the Republican primaries. Cruz tends to fare better in most states where only Republicans can vote in Republican primaries.
It's "eminent domain," blogpimp.
I have a nephew who works for a company that builds large buildings. His job isn't easy. There are literally millions of things that go into those buildings. If you're short "eighth inch street elbows", or any other trivial part, the whole building stalls. It's not easy to have those, and all the other million pieces there, and on time.
That said, Trump hasn't been even able to do that consistently. Not only has he had four bankruptcies, he's also had a myriad of other loan "defaults". A default is the same as a bankruptcy, but gets less publicity - you don't pay back the loan, and the property is sold at a loss. Remember Trump Airlines? It defaulted.
Running a country like the US is a whole lot more difficult than getting the right amount of eighth inch street elbows. Trump can't even get those. How does anyone think he can run the country?
Stat Man posts conclusion with no stats.
Fitting for a fraud.
And a high percentage of Cruz (and Kasich) supporters say they won't vote for Trump.
So we've pretty much already lost the general election, and in my opinion, Trump's juvenile disregard for Reagan's 11th Commandment is 100% to blame.
Stop your whining.
Most people are bored by the stats, so I went straight to the conclusion.
But here are the stats that was based on. Trump has won 14 of 19 contests that were not limited to Republican voters only. In contests that were closed to outside voters, and only Republicans voted, Trump has won only 7 of 17.
But of course this doesn't matter to a Trump supporter. You will just find another name to call me, following the example of your cult hero.
>”the parties worked hard to hide the truth from us.”
>>Stop your whining.
Don’t be salty.
But they went to caucuses and voted on delegates (based on the delegates stated candidate preference). Voted. Important word. Anyone who had been registered as a Republican 30 days prior to the caucus could vote. That word again. Vote. The voters of Colorado went to a caucus and voted, i.e. representative government. They indicated their preference by casting a vote.
Bad guys like Reid and Pelosi, not to mention our enemies in China, Russia, and Iran.
So if he arrives at the convention with (say) 1,187 delegates, he'll need to put all his legendary deal making skill to work.
If he can do that, and get the nomination, I'll publicly apologize on FR for everything negative I've ever said about Trump's competence.
Probably the Democrat wing of the Trumpenproletariat. No surprise there.

Hi there. I voted for GHWB, GWB, McCain, and Romney. I’m out if they steal it from Trump.
Fascinating. Source please.
