Is Donald Trump being cheated out of the Republican Presidential nomination?
Without a single vote being cast by Republican voters in Colorado, Ted Cruz won 21 delegates from the state’s seven congressional assemblies and 13 delegates at the state convention on Saturday April 9th, 2016. While the Colorado GOP establishment changed the primary process in August 2015 – the opposition to Trump delegates has supporters of the businessman up in arms. What is the Truth About The Colorado Delegate Controversy?
Trump was robbed of this last October, whether it became mainstream news now is irrelevant.
They only did this because of Santorum 12 & Trump taking food off the table of the children of hardworking donor bundlers.
They have primaries for Senate and Gub. What’s this BS about not being able to count votes.
If this is OK, then every State should do the same thing. Why should the people of New York have to vote, just give the delegates to Trump.
Colorado hasn’t had presidential primaries since at least 2004 - so why wasn’t Trump prepared?
People expect to vote and have their vote count. We all know you have to live with the outcome as long as it is a fair process and nothing invalidates the sanctity of the ballot box.
Throw all that out the window, we now live in a manipulated world where early voting, hacked Diebold machines, and arcane party rules that substitute for actual voting.
When’s the revolution? Vote for Bernie and hasten the end?
He was prepared, he cant outnumber Rubio & Cruzers
No one planned for Jeb to be sidelined, but Trump did it anyway.
So Jeb dropped out.
Since he has suspended his campaign, they needed an insider to be a place holder for the delegates and that turns out to be Cruz, who will control those delegates until the Convention, then, after a few slight of hand tricks, they are slated to go back to Jeb, or maybe Mitt.
Cruz will never get to enjoy the delegates at the convention.
Incorrect. Santorum won in the 2012 primary and Romney was 2nd.
Not according to the people on the ground. Trump had NO organization in Colorado, and the one they tried to put together was incompetent - listing the wrong names of Trump delegates, listing the wrong delegate numbers, etc.
Incorrect. Colorado held a "beauty contest" in 2012, but the results of that were not binding, and none of the delegates were awarded based on that. The method of selecting the delegates in 2012 is the same as it was this year.
My bad, you are correct.

Cruz has lost it fair and square and should step aside for the sake of the country.
If his continued efforts at thievery split and destroy the party,
we’ll be saddled by Hillary or burned by Bernie.

Cruz lost the primary vote and is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe)
in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to the winner.
Cruz is a sore loser turned traitor against the grassroots voters.
And the foolish neophyte thinks the GOPe is going to let him have a shot at the presidency
if he helps them block Trump?
Laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

The truth is that the Colorado GOP consists of corrupt dirty b*stards, but that’s OK, because that’s how their system works.
so why wasn’t Trump prepared?
Because he thought the convention would be honest?
The only poll I can find for CO was last Nov when Trump was in 3rd place, Cruz in 4th
Now Cruz gets all delegates?
Trump is not prepared for chicanery while Cruz apparently is.
It was a conscience decision by Trump camp not to participate here because the system was rigged since last year by 24 GOPe members
Cruz is Nixon, without the charm, wit, or humor.
It’s a red herring. Trump’s lack of preparation doesn’t make it any less sleezy.
Also the good looks and honesty.
If the GOP doesn’t want my vote in the Spring, they won’t get it in the Fall.
