It appears that he never checked in at the Douglas County Assembly. Either through ignorance or just plain fraud, Larry Lindsey joins the ranks as another Trump hoax.

One other thing. Trump’s campaign knew about the process a year ago. There hasn’t been a primary in 16 years. Trump and his campaign is just stupid and ill prepared. Cruz and his campaign prepared and did their homework. After all, he is trying to win, not be a doormat to the glorious leader!

Cruz got 34 delegates out of 37 with almost 8,000 attending the conventions.

That’s fine.

The only hope for this country is for it to collapse while those old enough to remember the Constitution and what freedoms we used to have are still alive. Then we can rebuild. Cruz won’t be able to make the necessary changes for us to change course.

Besides, the GOPe won’t let Cruz be elected if he isn’t one of them. And if they do -then he is one of them. Either way, we are toast.

I haven't seen a breakout for all the individual votes. The March 1st precinct conventions elect delegates to the county assemblies which elect delegates to the District Conventions which each elect 3 delegates to the National Convention that may pledge to a particular candidate. The State Convention chooses the At-Large slate of National Delegates.

Apparently Trump didn't get enough supporters to the conventions.

>> Is Ben Carson a psychopath and child molester?

Was the insult made before or after the CNN debate where Trump stood alongside Carson awaiting his failed introduction? I don’t recall.

>> To back Trump, you would have to back that statement

The premise a supporter must support every aspect of a candidate’s characters is absurd.

What about Kasich?? Surely Trumpand Kasich got some votes. They haven’t had zero in any other states.

Is there something weird going on in Colorado?? I mean every other state had actual vote counts for each candidate.

Colorado GOP: "Yeah, we lost in 2008, we lost in 2012 - so what? We just don't give a shit about the Constitution and that whole one-man, one-vote thing; or the Republic; or the GOP anymore, because damn the weed is so good..."

You would probably have to check the convention minutes for actual totals. It doesn't even look like Trump showed up.

BREAKING. Donald Trump Will Not Attend Colorado GOP Convention

Go ahead and sit and moan. The rest of us will try to save our country with a man who is a constitutional conservative.

It’s a joke.

Trump knew what the rules were last year. Trump is using the bomb the Colorado GOP gave him to blow the corruption there sky high. I think Trump planned it that way. He knew the GOP elitist rules in Colorado. A good warrior chooses the battle - and when it’s not winnable you do an end run. That is what Trump is doing and it’s working perfectly. Look what’s happening on twitter, on facebook, here, on Drudge, and in the pressers.

Colorado was a bed built for Jeb, Cruz just happened to fall into it - wildly fornicating and fluffling every establishment elitist he can get close to. The exact same thing happened on Wisconsin.

Yes. The “only principled candidate in the race” has left the race never to return, “A Time For Truth” has defaulted to “A Time For Status Quo Gutter Politics”.

I’d like a refund on my copy of the book. Ted will wish he had never seen Colorado before this is over.

No kidding? Imagine that. I am committed to investigating every report of caucus fraud. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

What an ass Larry is.

So, in other words, you freely admit that you are participating in a lie to promote Trump.

A lie?

Amazing all the smart people here that don’t get it. The big picture problem is not rocket science to anyone who is not stuck staring at one tree so long they get so cross-eyed they think the fuzzy thing they see is the whole forest.

What happened In Colorado is indefensible on any coherent, rational, ethical, or moral ground. Everyone know this. THAT is the big picture, that is the forest - and exactly why Trump is so much more popular than any other candidate. THAT is why there is a movement like we have never before seen in American politics. Trump is blowing up the status-quo Americans have HATED for so long. And Colorado gave him more ammunition in that fight for freedom from establishment elitists cramming what they want down our throats.

The statement was a consistent tactic. Pick an opponent. Lie about him, say it was counter-punching. You agree with that statement as a campaign tactic.

Or you don’t.

Ben Carson is a psychopath and a child molester.

You accept that kind of statement as a tactic with people on your own team. I don’t accept that as a tactic for anyone.

One of us has a moral/ethical position.

Figure it out.

Yeah right.

He’s shown himself to be just another dirty politician.

Trump is the only one that will change things, and that’s why the liberals, MSM, and GOPe are all panicking and doing all they can to take him out.

If they don’t do the same to Cruz, you need to ask yourself why.

Consider presenting your moral ultimatums to Carson — without insulting his integrity and support for Trump.

the celebrated author of “the art of the deal” now decries being defeated by the crooked deal. I dunno, I sense a disconnect here. both of these things can’t be right.
