There’s a recurring question among the Republicans gathering in Colorado at state and local conventions to choose delegates this week: "Where’s Donald Trump?"
Colorado is a rare state where party officials choose delegates without any input from a primary or caucus vote. The bulk of the state’s 37 delegates will be picked at a series of congressional district conventions on Friday and a state convention on Saturday in Colorado Springs. Prospective delegates can run as unaffiliated free agents or pledge to back a candidate.
"There just doesn’t seem to be any Trump organization at all, to be honest," Dick Wadhams, a former Colorado GOP chairman, told MSNBC. "I do think that Cruz has an advantage going into this convention on Saturday."

Therefore, Trump should debate Cruz one-on-one.
I heard a saying once....
“If you owe the bank $100,000, then you have a problem.”
“If you owe the bank $100 million, then the bank has a problem.”
You probably also heard, “Too big to fail”.
What that really mean too big to fail without a lot of pain to go around.
You personify the downfall of America, cheat whatever but defeat other Americans at any cost. Congrats on your shady candidate’s scores.
You err.
I am not a Trump supporter.
This is all meaningless. Why did we vote? was it a scam to deceive the sheeple. I don’t think voters will forget this. I am sure that the delegates will get hell for months and months. They are quite well known.
Every delegate to the convention was equally available to every candidate from the start. Some were allocated by popular vote, some by caucus, some by conventions at the precinct, county and state levels.
The problem is that Trump has been competing for only those delegates available via the popular vote. He either chose not to compete for -- or was ignorant of -- those delegates available via other means.
In that respect, Trump took a chance that his intentionally limited campaign could still produce the requisite majority of 1237.
In contrast, the Cruz campaign chose to compete for every delegate available to him -- regardless of how they were allocated. Successful execution of that strategy is what's keeping him in the race.
You can take the two disparate strategies as demonstration of the candidates' decision-making skills.
No, you're an establishment supporter, sad but true.
Oh come on! People who deal in big sums of money form relationships, good or bad. Trump is an old madam Don’t try to make him into a virgin. The best thing about him is that he is not a naif. He blunders but recovers. I still remember what Gore Vidal wrote about Jefferson in his novel “Burr.” He said that Jefferson was at his best when he was not sure of his footing. Somehow he always recovered.
1273 delegates of whom 100 to 200 will vote for Cruz’s motion to unbind for the first ballot and then nominate Cruz or someone else?
This is a fraud. It will not stand.
Nope. Not on first ballot.
There is way too much being made out of this.
How many favors do you owe your bank because of your mortgage?
The answer is none because its fully collateralized loan on real estate just like Trump’s loans.
Trump Has The Power To Expose The Largest Money Laundering Scheme In History
Stone explains how The Big Steal is on from the GOPe and or Ted Cruz. Plus a bonus on how Trump as the Republican nominee would have standing on taking down the Clinton Foundation since he gave to them in the past. That is probably why the dem party/GOPe/enemedia is throwing everything at Trump but the kitchen sink because he would have standing to take down the Clintons during the presidential election.
It's so sad to see so many Freepers participating in The Big Steal since that is all Cruz has left since he has a very little chance of getting the nomination outright.
May I remind Freepers STEALING is NOT a conservative principle as well as a NOT a Christian principle.
SMH, CGato
Indiana too. Trump is likely to come away with 0 delegates there as well.
Quite a terrible operation Trump is running. I guess he thought he could get there on personality alone. Didn’t seem concerned about the minor details of actually rounding up delegates. If he can’t even run a decent presidential campaign operation, what makes anyone thing he could run an actual Presidential administration.
Bet it would have been all important and YUGEE if he had won.
Who needs delegates when you can get the nomination and save time and money by just going on MSNBC every day and then threatening to sue if the party doesn’t hand the nomination to you?
LOL...
