I think Trump planned it that way.

Yeah I was hearing the same crap about Cruz's affairs doing him in the week before last. Before that it was him cheating in Utah. Cruz is continuing to narrow the gap.

I’m taking the day off from your Cruz ads. Post from whatever leftist site you want.

People will ignore this at their own peril. Simplistically thinking that filling stadiums and winning primaries and calling into CNN/MSNBC etc, without addressing the intracies of state party selection procedures that have been around for years and all have agreed to in advance, does not a Nominee make. I can't stand them, but boy did (even) the jackass Politico ever hit it over the fence today:

"It’s an extension of a losing streak for Trump that threatens the mogul’s odds of winning the Republican nomination at what is increasingly likely to be a contested convention in July. Trump is close to falling short of enough support in the state-level primaries and caucuses to clinch the nomination outright, meaning his fate would be determined by delegates in Cleveland. Yet Trump’s thinly staffed operations, even in the states he carried easily in February and March primaries, have left little organization behind to support delegate candidates. In addition to the congressional-district routs in South Carolina and Colorado, he’s been dealt setbacks in Indiana, North Dakota, Tennessee, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Georgia. Massachusetts is also shaping up as a delegate battleground, despite Trump’s dominance of the popular vote there. Trump has primarily lost delegate races to Cruz, whose superior organization, months of preparatory work and resonance among the GOP’s activist base has helped him consolidate support in the insider-oriented battle for delegates. Trump has begun mobilizing for a delegate push in recent days, empowering Manafort, a veteran of past convention battles, to lead his effort, but the 67-year-old lobbyist and political consultant is still playing catch-up".

Alright, reality check. Does THIS sound like "stealing" and "cheating" to you??

Any article that doesn’t put Mr. Trump in a favorable light is obviously false.

>>> President Kasich. Get used to it.

Wishful thinking.

Prez. Clinton... Get used to it. Brokered conventions to not produce winners. See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3416210/posts

Please keep up the tone deaf attacks on Trump for GOP treachery against the voters of Colorado.

I’ll say you are full of sh*t and you have less credibility than Hillary Clinton...

2DV.. Your plan to install Ryan is working perfectly.

If your really that concerned maybe you can get Trump to drop out of the race.

Posting from Slate?Really?

Don't you think that the process of analyzing and debating ARTICLES whether they are PRO or CON is important ?

If people were only allowed to post articles on one side of a debate, how would we learn anything new ? If I don't agree with an article, I debate IT, I don't argue with the OP for posting it on FR.

An employee and delegate for a super pac in St. Charles Missouri this weekend was told to keep his job, he had to switch his vote from Trump to Cruz. This delegate is very upset, but needs the job. Very disturbing.

Yes, but what is interesting is to read between the lines and see what they are really saying.

Those 'misprinted' ballots ? The 'unauthorized' ballot list?

A non-biased mind would give these points some consideration.
