Call it a high-tech lynching.
In the wake of Donald Trump’s being shut out in Colorado — final delegate count: Ted Cruz, 34; Trump, 0 — his fans have formed virtual mobs, and on Sunday a particularly passionate Twitter user tweeted out the home address and phone number of Steve House, chairman of the Colorado GOP.
House’s personal information has been retweeted more than 1,100 times. He says he’s received some 3,000 phone calls, most of them uncomplimentary:
Meanwhile, the same Trump partisan also tweeted information for the state’s national committeewoman, Lily Nuñez, and committeeman, George Leing. Of course, the brave Twitter user in question did all of this anonymously, and lots of other brave people have applauded — also anonymously.
The unsavory Trump fans in question appear to be multiplying: Something similar is already afoot in Indiana, which hasn’t even voted yet. Kyle Babcock, an at-large delegate selected at one of this weekend’s nine congressional-district conventions, made the mistake of explaining to the Indianapolis Star that he would not back Trump, because he believes Cruz stands a better chance against Hillary Clinton in November.
...
There is no indication that the Trump campaign was involved in these threats, but make no mistake: This effort started at the top. After floundering in the Centennial State, Trump took to Twitter to peddle his usual conspiracy theories: “The people of Colorado had their vote taken away from them by the phony politicians. . . . This will not be allowed!” With the help of sympathetic media outlets — the Drudge Report suggested that Iraqi elections were more fair than Colorado’s delegate-selection process) — his false allegations gained traction.

They deserve death threats against themselves and their wives and children? Real great JPJones. Do you other Trump guys agree with Mr. Jones?
“... No indication Trump was associated with any of this.....”

IMHO, He’s INSPIRING it among his mentally unstable followers. And, no, I’m not saying all TRUMPSTERS are in that category.
“CO GOP clearly cheated, they get what they deserve.”
Trump snubbed Colorado. No wonder he didn’t get any delegates.
FUIT
FUNRO
It is true not all Trump supporters are unstable. I have a few friends who are for Trump and are normal. Not sure why they support him though.
“National Review, the magazine, which last month was simply giddy at the thought of White working class neighborhoods dying out. F them”
Well, to be fair, they thought we were too whacked out on heroin to actually notice.
And Trump is supposedly the one that’s whining?
Honestly, my give-a-rip meter is on zero.
I subscribed to National Review for a couple of years during the Bush presidency. It’s a Neo-Con rag. Maybe -if the subscription rate goes down - they can get some sort of subsidy through the tax code. They are excellent shills for elitist big government, I’m sure Washington (regardless of which party is in power) wants to keep them in print.
So some one does not want your candidate to win so you post their contact information? Get over yourself not everyone agrees with you.
Would NR like some cheese with that whine?
The mentally unstable need no inspiration
Since it is the anonymity of social media they could be deranged lefties for all we know
You can’t spin it and blame Trump for what happened in Colorado ...it was dirty and everyone saw what happened ..if Cruz really had a chance , it’s gone now and you Cruz-bots are too blinded to realize it yet ...but go ahead , keep blaming Trump and keep embarrassing yourselves ...
Don’t let the Cruz mob get the better of you. It is clear who are the thugs here. BTW, just watched some very heartening Trump-Family town hall meeting. No other candidate’s, AFAIK, comes close!
Any thinking conservative would see that immediately
I’m sick of “Trump this” and “Cruz that”. Grow up.
We’re following all the rules.
So stop bitching about it.
It makes you Ruling Elitists look pathetic.
