Election SELECTION
Unprepared to battle Clinton.
Political corruption is a good thing now, right?
Cruz has stolen from the People.
We will not vote for him, or any party that has
the amoral CuboCanadian cheater and blackmailer
on its ticket.
‘losing’ delegates due to bribes and insider deals is not incompetence.
it’s corruption.
we use to have a chant: no taxation without representation
then we shot people to drive the point home.
Cruz is sold out to the GOPe, and is becoming a big problem.
Just my opinion. But I am becoming more and more convinced, the support of Cruz here on this site, and in closed party votes across America, is extremely damaging to American democracy.
You are wrong. Just my opinion once again, but I am becoming ever more convinced of that.
Trump is using the bomb the Colorado GOP gave him to blow the corruption there sky high. I think Trump planned it that way. He knew the GOP elitist rules in Colorado. A good warrior chooses the battle - and when it’s not winnable you do an end run. That is what Trump is doing and it’s working perfectly. Look what’s happening on twitter, on facebook, here, on Drudge, and in the pressers.
Ted will wish he had never seen Colorado before this is over.
What kind of crap blog is that? You have to dig that deep?
You’re just antagonizing people that will surely offer your GOPe candidate the middle finger after all this BS.
NEVER underestimate Trump.
Hasn’t Patterico always been a RINO blog, even before this Trump/Cruz debacle?

I know this will piss off some trump voters because it says the people of CO actually voted for the delegates that then voted against trump.
Your relentless devotion to your job reminds me of Little Feat:
I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty don't ya know, and I'm still, shillin'
Sittin' at the desk, late at night,
Seen my Cruz through every little fight
Cruz, Lose with Cruz
I've lied from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Lied with every kind of claim the establishment's made
Assaulted the forums and then ran away
And if you give me whores, cheese, and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be shillin', and keep lyin'.
Someone in the Trump camp really screwed up. I don’t know if it was Trump himself thinking he would so dominate the vote that these “screw the voter” rules. I’m pretty much a small d democrat in the primaries as long as they are limited to party voters. However, these kinds of party elite shenanigans go back to the beginning.
What does concern me is that we can’t keep the Constitution and elect another autocrat like Obama or even worse. That means that three of the major candidates are likely to move us even farther into an authoritarian presidency with a irrelevant congress.
One can’t be an artist of any deal when he doesn’t understand the rules of the race he paid money to run in.
All the atta boy posts for Ted just go to show you how many people who claim to be Conservative are really far more invested in the current corrupt system than in Conservatism.
In baseball the pitcher throws a fastball in the strike zone over the plate. That is the way the game is played.
It is cheating to throw a curve ball...and then it just barely crosses the corner of the plate? Come on now.
Play by the rules.
BS. It is not incompetence. The GOPe controls most of the delegates. Having been involved in GOP politics for quite some time, going to the national convention as a delegate is a reward to the loyal rank and file. Trump is anti-establishment. There is no way he can change their minds or even the composition of the delegates. This is why he needs to win enough delegates thru the primaries where the GOPe is limited. The GOPe is now coalescing behind Cruz to force a contested convention. It is stop Trump for now.
Which begs the question....
how the hell is he supposed to be able to run the biggest superpower nation in the world....
if he can’t even run a primary campaign correctly, efficiently or successfully?
Incompetent? Hardly.
Don’t think that it’s Ted Cruz and his brilliant “ground team” that are accomplishing this.
It’s entrenched GOPe party insiders that Trump cannot in any way control. These are the apparatchiks whose loyalty is to the Romney/Bush/Ryan cartel.
They’ll throw away Cruz as soon as he’s served his purpose of sabotaging Trump’s campaign.
