Former CO GOP Chair: Message We're Sending Is "Your Vote Doesn't Matter
Real Clear Politics ^ | 4/11/2016 | Ian Schwartz

Former Colorado state Republican party chairman Ryan Call talked to Laura Ingraham today to explain the delegation-selection process works and how it "cuts out any semblance of democracy or the popular will." Call said the statewide convention that chooses the delegates reinforces all the worst stereotypes of the party.

"The very time we should be opening up our doors and being more open and transparent, and welcoming people into our Party, we’ve essentially made the decision to close it off and make it more cumbersome and more difficult. And, to prevent the ability of people to have their voice heard in this process. You’re reinforcing all of the very worst stereotypes about the Party and I, frankly, am very concerned about the way voters are going to feel," Call told Ingraham.

This election has been the biggest eye-opener for me in my politically-aware life. As the fellow said, “No matter how cynical I get, it’s never enough.”

Regarding the Colorado “theft” seems, unfortunately, that Mr. Trump was sleeping at the Helm!

He was totally taken by surprise of NOT knowing how it was going to be played out. I just read Rush Limbo’s (not may favor commentator anymore) transcript on this matter and seems nothing “fishy” were taking place in CO, it was all laid out back in August last year and the Canadian Anchor Baby took advantage of it by looking into what they did in August. Donald Trump did NOT and lost delegates!!

Mr. Trump needs to align himself with insider GOPs or even some RINOs to learn how to match up and fight the establishment. Because they will fight for their own lives and the gravy trains they are passengers on !!!

I hear you. Same here. TRUMP supporters enjoyed the ride too much, and failed to get their you know what’s to their precinct meetings, or their county meeting. Cruzaders were out in force, and the slates are now mostly full of frauds pretending to be Trump supporters at their state conventions.

That is beside the point and you know it.
PEOPLE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE.
If your learn the game is....Donald Trump is bad at taking away peoples vote, then that is quite an endorsement.
The RNC in Colorado said lets get rid of these pesky voters and make sure we get who we want. 1 million people denied their vote...Go System....Go Cruz....not

Trump is losing at a game where he should be smart enough to play by the rules. Instead, he whines and complains and calls Cruz names. Very presidential.

But there was no cheating...just accidental mistakes, like getting rid of Trump votes for delegates...

This was reported on One America News.
Picture of ballot at link...
The delegate for Trump was #379

DISGUSTING! Colorado Trump Delegates Scratched From Ballots!!!!!

“I just don’t like the guy,” said former President George W. Bush of Senator Ted Cruz, according to reports of a meeting Bush had with donors not too long ago. The 43rd president went on to add that he believed Cruz was an opportunist running for president for personal gain, unlike his sainted brother, who is a true public servant. Shortly after the report came out, “Bush’s brain” Karl Rove continued the attack on Cruz, saying, “I do know that President Bush has expressed some — on a number of occasions — a little bit of astonishment as to the attacks that Ted made on him. For example, [he] went out of his way to attack his appointment of John Roberts. Yet at the time of the appointment of John Roberts, Ted Cruz was a personal friend of John Roberts, wrote a strongly positive piece about him ... said that both John Roberts and the man who appointed him, George W. Bush, were strong, dependable conservatives.” -

yes Bush and Cruz was together like most who got to know cruz odn;t like him m, but he is still the best for the establishment, now here is what I said and you correct me where I am wrong.

cruz worked with Bush in TX before he was running for senate.
He hired Bush
He got help from Romney, endorsed by Graham, help from the PAC’s which are for the establishment.
He got help from Ryan.

Hell if you don't think cruz is full blown establishment then there is nothing I can tell you are you are most certainly naïve at best. If you actually think the establishment is not helping cruz then you are lost for help

Well, well, seems to me, unfortunately, Cruizing outsmarted him in Colorado and ran off with the delegates. Wouldn’t you agree???

Not quite. His team is fighting a very hostile press which controls MSM totally-—bought and owned by the corporations that hate Trump.

I am reading The Bully Pulpit —the book on Roosevelt and Taft by Kearns Goodwin-—and it points out that elections were ALWAYS RIGGED to a VERY large extent, even in the late 1800s, early 1900s.

Rockerfeller and the party bosses/labor union bosses/ bought (bribed) the politicians and selected who was running for office. When TR got in by accident, he had control of the press (they were his good friends) and so the party bosses were stuck with him.

SO.....nothing has really changed, except people are not believing the lies anymore. We don’t believe the press anymore.....we are waking up from over 100 years of extreme Mind Control (corrupt controlled press and bribed politicians and judges). A system that is totally controlling our information to the point of keeping the masses in Plato’s Cave. We have “thought” we picked and voted and selected our politicians. It is a fluke when we get a “good” guy whom we actually picked.

Almost the entire press is trying to make Trump lose.

The MSM can control the narrative very easily. They can *make* Trump look like an idiot/hater or whatever. He is much more intelligent than Clinton or a Sanders, and way less evil and corrupt, but the press will protect them.......

So.....this whole “dog and pony” show has nothing to do with Truth-—it has everything to do with WHO controls the narrative and it AIN’T TRUMP or his crew.
