The guy never bothered to show up for the district convention. Never signed in or picked up his badge or credentials. He was on the slate at the district convention to run for a delegate position to the state convention, but got no votes. If he were there, he would at least gotten one vote — his own.

I'm not for Trump, but there is an inaccuracy in what you say:

"The guy never bothered to show up for the district convention. Never signed in or picked up his badge or credentials. He was on the slate at the district convention to run for a delegate position to the state convention, but got no votes. If he were there, he would at least gotten one vote — his own.

You do not run for State from the District Convention. You run from the County, except in El Paso County, where State and District delegates are elected directly at the Precinct Caucus (that is where I was elected to State). The guy himself seems confused about the process. Maybe reading the rules is too much for him. If he was pushed out, it was definitely an isolated incident.

I was at State, people had their delegate badges scanned by World Arena employees, nobody from the party was at the doors checking the 3900+ delegates and also the alternates (Guests had to go through a separate gate). Maybe if something didn't scan, I do not know what the procedure would be then, but there were a significant number of Trump-buttoned people in line with me, they breezed through Gate B, 4-abreast as we filed in (though Bronco-Orange Cruzers were definitely more common).

From one report I heard, he tried to pass off his County Delegate credentials as a State credential, hard to know exactly, reporters should all be required to take Remedial Civics, lots of ignorance in their ranks.

Okay, thank you. I appreciate the correction. I can’t keep tabs on everything. It seemed legit.

If not, then we shouldn’t present it that way.

Now someone will come along and tell me something different.

LOL
