As we previously reported Ted Cruz is trying to steal the election using delegates to over ride the will of the people. This is something he claimed he wouldn’t do and something the majority of people disagree with. The majority wants the party to unite behind Trump even if he doesn’t reach 1,237 delegates.
The majority does not want Cruz and his establishment allies subverting the will of the people by way of delegates. The Colorado GOP tweeted this after the big steal. They have since deleted it and now claim they were hacked.
It should be noted however that the man behind the “Literally Hitler” Trump ad is Ted Cruz’s attorney and he is tied into the Colorado GOP.
Reuters reports the GOP will lose a third of it’s voters if Trump is not the nominee.

Headline on Drudge right now!
FURY AS COLORADO HAS NO PRIMARY OR CAUCUS; CRUZ CELEBRATES VOTERLESS VICTORY
What is funny is this. Cruz can’t be nominated under rule 40b and it will not be amended. ( he doesn’t have 8 state majorities) Bound delegates therefore can’t vote. ( rule 16) . All Trump needs is a majority of the eligible delegates . There is no one else to vote for. He wins with a unanimous vote of 100% of the eligible delegates!! 1st Ballot!! Praise Jesus!!
Be Careful. I once called her a fraud. And that she probably isn’t black or in the army and probably isn’t a female. And the moderators banned me from FR for one week.
I learned my lesson I’ll never do that again.
It cracks me up that Trump, a man who can afford the best lawyers and advisers, hasn’t been able to figure out how to have a significant ground game...
And that somehow Trumps failings are to be blamed on Cruz and / or the GOPe.
At the end of the day, if Trump fails to win the nomination Trump will have nobody to blame except himself.
I wouldn't mind seeing Trump become the nominee and would be glad to cast my vote for him in Nov. were he to become the nominee. With that said, no candidate should slide into the nomination if they fail to gain the needed delegates.
The rules of the game are to be changed for one guy? Remember, the majority of voters to this point have voted AGAINST Trump, not for.
Hmmm, doubting you’ve never been on one.
That’s ok....I’m not a potato...LOLOLOL.
Isn’t that the truth....Trump will have no one to blame but himself. If he would have taken the high road and kept his mouth shut on the little petty stuff, there was no way Cruz would be able to touch him. But...Trump is Trump...
Are you saying you’re not bothered by a guy who has been a delegate for 15 years running, being removed as a delegate because he voted for Trump at the local level?
His local precinct captain told he what would happen if he did. He did, and bingo, he’s out!
That isn’t troublesome to you?
This can’t be totally laid off as being a shortcoming of Trump, and nobody is buying that execp;t for the few remaining fans of the Dime Minister of Canada.
You guys can try to play this off as business as usual, or states rights, or whatever, no vote by the Republicans or delegates...
Where did you guys get your sense of right and wrong?
I wish you were right, but I must disagree.
Let's say only Trump has won 8+ states by convention time. By Rule 40, only his name can be placed into nomination. But suppose he doesn't get a majority because the non-Trump delegates just vote "present", or some such thing.
Now it's the second ballot. Previously pledged delegates can shift their vote. And then Cruz could have 8+ states supporting him.
REMEMBER COLORADO!
They are prohibited from voting . They are ineligible under rule 16. Disagree all you want. That is the rule.Trump will win.
What went on in Colorado is very explosive. We may have riots very soon. I fear the worst. We will not tolerate this .
Since when is 35% a majority? Look up the word plurality.
Well, pardon me if I wait for a few days to see how all this plays out. I've learned to NEVER believe early reports, they are almost always void of all the facts.
Secondly, as I stated in my earlier post, Trump is a shrewd, cunning businessman. He has paid to play in his dealings, particularly in NY/NJ where he admitted having to navigate business dealings not only with politicians but also with syndicate figures to advance his projects.
I'm not too surprised at the outcry. It's all wonderful when Trumps blazing a trail, but when he trips along the path, it's someone elses fault. Not surprised at all.
What you mean is that Trumpists want to steal the sense of decency from the rest of us by idolizing boorishness modeled by The Donald and “firing” those who do not trust his maniacal behavior.
Out maneuvering Trump by actually knowing the rules and working within them is not stealing, maybe you should be more upset with Trumps failure to educate himself and employ others educated in the rules and processes. It’s kind of like a child crying when they lose a game because they don’t know the rules.
