Cont.

Supporters in Colorado nonetheless said they were frustrated with the campaign's chaotic and uncommunicative campaign, which failed to reach basic levels of competence.

"We could have had some things going, but the campaign decided to not put resources here," Becky Mizel, a former Pueblo County GOP chair and Trump delegate candidate, told NBC News.

On Saturday, Trump backers passed out flyers at the convention site with official campaign slate of 13 delegates and 13 alternates accompanied by their three-digit number position on the 600-plus person ballot. Seven of the names, however, directed people to the wrong number and one delegate's name was misspelled. Other candidates did not have errors on their slates.

In one case, an erroneous number corresponded with a Cruz supporter. A second flyer handed out by the Trump campaign contained four mismatched names and numbers.


Looks like it was the Trump campaign that got the delegate numbers wrong.

“Moments after announcing that Ted Cruz had swept all 34 delegate slots at the Colorado GOP convention Saturday, the state party tweeted: “We did it. #NeverTrump.”

Cruz = party hacks, GOPe lowlifes

I thought I read somewhere that the Trump campaign said they did everything correctly, just the Co. GOP changed thingds after the last minute and didn’t tell them, which is why the ballots ended up being incorrect.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that is really what happened.

The GOPe and Cruz will engage in any dirty tricks to try to deny Trump the nomination.

Colorado; where the official @cologop actually tweets out; “We did it. #nevertrump”. It was their mission.

Colorado GOP elites are #nevertrump
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3419332/posts

#nevertrump is more than a simple political statment - it’s a mission statement. And it was executed by the Colorado GOP as a mission statement. That is not we-the people.

Cruz has consistently cheated and been dishonest. He is scum. Not voting for him.

Cruz told the Colorado crowd earlier that it’s easy to talk about making America great again — “you can even print that on a baseball cap” — but that the more important question is which candidate understands “the principles and values that made America great in the first place.”

Does that mean getting in bed with and wildly fornicating and fluffing every establishment elitist he can get close to?

Wow he makes me sick. To think I bought his book “A Time For Truth”. I actually believed he was “the only principled candidate in the race”. He proved how stupid I was to believe him. Six months ago no one would have believed Cruz would be where he is right now - in bed with the GOP elite.

I’ll still vote for him if he is the nominee but I’d like a refund on the book.

Sen. Goldman Cruz is a scheming sociopath who steal
when he does not win by a normal vote.
SCUM, he is.
Cheater, Ashley Cruz is.
Blackmailer, FioRIN-protected Cruz is.

And ... Romney-Cruz voted to allow ObamaTRADE thinking his
supporters were STUPID. The remnant are.

Any delegates not selected by the People are illegitimate. Only the votes in primaries or caucuses are valid. To Hell with district conventions and Superdelegates.

But, Trump will surround himself with good people!

Trump is playing full contact checkers. Cruz is playing 3D Spok-like chess.

A perfect GOP operation. No participation of the people needed at all! And they tweeted out the never Trump mission accomplished at the end.

They are a joke. Cruz has showed his true face.

Sen. Ted Cruz finished Colorado's delegate fight the way he started it: With overwhelming victory.

Yay! Proud of the Republicans and conservatives in my state.

It doesn't matter if a Republican or Democrat is elected to the White House. Either way, America loses. Too many believe that one party or the other allows us to "just lose a little better." For those who tell us that a third party will "split the vote," we ask them: How do you justify that statement? Do you realize that's only a myth? Does a party "own" your vote? Do two parties "own" every vote? Our party will not take any votes away from the Republican or Democratic party. Those voting for our candidates are not "owned" by the Republicans or the Democrats. Our voters have declared that they own their own votes and will no longer cast a ballot with a horrible option on it, just to vote AGAINST the "other" party. They are voting FOR candidates which will represent them. But to help you understand the "split vote" myth, the two parties have created this to perpetuate their existence. Either you vote against the "other" party or stay home is the demand by the two parties. Why would they do that? Because if a third party receive about 7 million votes (5%) it raises that party to recognized status and they no longer wield absolute power. They will be forced to face us and to bring great candidates to the table, not lousy ones to maintain power. If you are stuck on the false premise that Ross Perot put Clinton in office, know that Clinton only received 6 million votes more than Bush but 20 million registered Republicans stayed home and Perot received ZERO electoral votes. But that is used to scare you into voting two party or stay home while a Democrat wearing a blue tie is elected, or a Democrat wearing a red tie. After all, Senator McCain and Congressman Ryan have voted to pass the agendas of President Obama and both were recent GOP Presidential ticket members. So voting for us is voting FOR America and ending the current system. And we did not even discuss the 12th Amendment where a strong enough third party candidate will guarantee the Republicans the White House, for those afraid a Democrat will win. ‪#‎VPA‬ ‪#‎VPofA‬ @VetsPA www.vpofa.org www.veteranspartyofamerica.org www.chriskeniston2016.com
