Ted Cruz's SELF SERVING effort Helping to Destroy The GOPe by BYPASSING the VOTER to TAKE DELEGATES.
This fellow in the video was a Republican Party State Delegate in Colorado. He was removed from his position because he voted for TRUMP. Not having a Primary, No Caucus, NO PUBLIC VOTE and CRUZ gets All THE DELEGATES. That is Disenfranchising the voters . . . and you don't think their will be a price to pay!

It’s time for those on Free Republic to step away from their candidate for a moment. Because this isn’t about Ted Cruz or Donald Trump and which campaign out maneuvered best.
This is about the electorate and the “legal” voter suppression and GOP corruption they are choosing to tolerate. Ben Franklin said the founders gave us a republic for as long as we can hold it. If legal primaries like Colorado’s continue, the Republic is lost.
I agree with you. I voted for Cruz, but am A OK with Trump being the nominee.
We also need to keep reminding ourselves of the propaganda media who foments disdain between the two camps. They will take a tidbit and blow it up into a major tah-do bout nothing.
This CO rule has been in place since summer of 2015. Is it fair to the voters of CO? Not sure. Why did they not know about this? Why did the republican voters not protest this?
This is the exact same kind of theft that the local Republican Party and Republican Party of Kentucky committed here in 2008 and 2012, to keep Ron Paul delegates out of the process. It happened across the country in those years too. I am glad that more people are awakening to the corruption. Welcome to the Uni-Party. Democrat = Republican = Deception.

Why don't you lay out YOUR education and credentials for supporting the Cuba-Canadian "Mr North American Union".
Of all the people that flamed you none realized the salient point. It’s not the “GOPe” or any other nameless faceless organization that “took the vote away from the people of Colorado”, the state of Colorodo itself decided not to have a caucus or a primary.
So all of this talk about voter disenfranchisement is pure bunk, to put it mildly. If the people of Colorado want to have a (Republican) primary or caucus they should influence the Republican Party there to do so.
It’s not like Cruz swept in and cancelled a planned caucus or primary by some devious trick. THE STATE DECIDED MONTHS BEFORE THE PRIMARY SEASON TO NOT HOLD AN ELECTION!
It’s not Criz’s fault the “voters didn’t get a voice” it’s COLORADO’s “fault” (and since when do we conservatives from other states feel we have a “right” to tell other states how they do business? The only ones on this board who have a right to complain are residents of Colorado. Everyone else should shut up).
So yes, your point about Trump’s bungling stands. It’s his fault and his alone for not knowing this. It’s not like it was a secret.
Sheesh. The level of intelligence has sure dropped around here in recent months.
I think a lot of voters are reeling from the idea that their vote doesn’t really count in the primary system, and they didn’t realize it before. The backlash is aimed at Cruz now because they still don’t know how we got to this point.
I am confused about the process myself. I had no idea how it really works in my own state. I blame myself though because I admit I have never really looked at the process.
“Cruz would’ve won Colorado anyway. That’s clear Cruz country. “
No, it is not. Few people here care for the nasty lying eGOP types like Cruz.
“Is it the fault of Cruz that CO chooses this method of delegate selection?”
The method isn’t the issue. The issue is that the district captains all made sure only Cruz voting delegates were seated. Any Trump voting delegates were dismissed.
Colorado is VERY corrupt. It has nothing to do with Trump’s resources. All the tea in china couldn’t fix broken Colorado because that’s a matter of the heart, not the bank account.
Not only would I never, ever vote for Cruz. I will NEVER vote for the GOP or support them in any way again.
[[This belly aching is ridiculous. The game was setup the way it was setup.]]
Shhhh- they are having themselves a good cry-
[[It’s easy. Because their guy did not win, so it must have been cheating.]]
The funniest part is that they cheered Trump for using bankruptcy laws 4 times- screwing 1000’s of people in the process- as being ‘brilliant strategy’ - they excuse Trump ‘playing the game’ yet jump all over cruz for playing a better game than he did
And I’m sure all of Donald’s business dealings were saint-like- No dirty dealing at all wink wink nod nod- only Ted is a snake-
[[Of all the people that flamed you none realized the salient point. It’s not the “GOPe” or any other nameless faceless organization that “took the vote away from the people of Colorado”, the state of Colorodo itself decided not to have a caucus or a primary.]]
No No No! It’s Ted’s fault! Everything is Ted’s fault!
[[It’s not Criz’s fault the “voters didn’t get a voice” it’s COLORADO’s “fault”]]
Comeon now- As already mentioned, everything is Cruz’s fault- Everything- Your child has colic? Dirty Ted’s fault- You car won’t start? Dirty Ted’s fault- Your tooth fell out? Dirty Ted’s fault- Trump campaign isn’t smart enough to woo delegates? Dirty Ted’s fault- CNN running a story that Carson is dropping out of the race? Dirty Ted’s fault- and so on and so forth
Heck... Trump admits to playing the CORRUPT POLITICIANS game to “get things done.”
These folks whom still support this moron are so blinded by the celebrity...
What primary?
The obvious answer, even to an idiot, is that Cruz is a GOPe insider and was therefore privy to all the evil insider tricks.
And furthermore, Ted Cruz was born in Canada to a foreign born parent which makes him ineligible to be President of the United States! Can you get that through your head?
I have yet to be enthusiastic about any Republican Presidential candidate. Are we in a situation where we have to be satisfied with the least weak of the candidates?
Selling their souls, in other words, for the illusion of recognition.
