This came in the email today from “James” a disgruntled Colorado Republican voter after the party elites gave all of the state delegates to Senator Ted Cruz.
On Saturday Ted Cruz supporters took all 13 of the delegates up for grabs at the Colorado GOP Convention to complete a clean sweep of the state. But it was not without controversy. There never was a vote – Party elites decided on who got the delegates.
After Cruz swept the Colorado delegates the Colorado Republican Party tweeted this out:
We did It. #NeverTrump
From James– Included is my letter to the Colorado GOP head and his reply.
Hope this helps expose the diabolical bastards scheming to steal the nomination. Though I told him I live in Colorado I really live in N.J. and I’ll be voting for Trump on June 7th, it’ll be a landslide victory for “The Donald” here in Garden State, a friggin’ landslide.
My letter (email):
GOPe sellouts & stooges,
I guess you haven’t learned YOUR lesson, you saw what we did to the state senate president who betrayed us and voted for the anti-2nd Amendment Bills, we recalled her, what do you think we will do to you for selling us out and joining the #NeverTrump cabal?
Let me be abundantly clear so there is no mistake, WE WILL BURN THE WHOLE ** Profanity Removed ** PARTY TO THE GROUND ON ELECTION DAY! We will do one of three things, stay home, vote for 3rd party candidates (ones who don’t have a chance of winning) or cast our lot with the despicable Democrats and destroy the GOP for a generation, it’ll take over a decade to recover from those losses and I’m talking boycotting the entire Republican ticket here, no exceptions.
So you now have a choice, invalidate the caucus held over the weekend and hold a “fair” caucus or face our wrath in November. Go ahead cross us at your own peril, you know we are pissed off already by the share of votes Donald J. Trump has received in the Primary Elections held until this point. Think long and hard, ask yourselves “is it worth destroying our entire party for over a decade and suffering a loss from which we may never recover or is it better to listen to the voters and not the RINOs/GOPe (elites)?”.
Signed, a 53 year old Colorado Registered Republican voter & Trump supporter
PS. I DID support Ted Cruz until he screwed Chris McDaniel in Mississippi, sold us out by championing TPP, gave Obama the ok to negotiate with Iran and began his dishonest campaign for president, now I wouldn’t elect him dogcatcher.
Steve House’s reply:
James,
Thank you for your note. Go ahead and burn the party down if that is what it takes to put this country on the right track then I am open to anything.
What happened over the weekend was simple and had no manipulation or underhanded process in it. The Cruz campaign worked harder than anyone else over a longer period of time, using the process that we have to create a victory for him. He came to Colorado, and was the only candidate who did, gave a great speech and won. I would have been perfectly okay with the result being for Mr. Trump had he and his team done the same thing. I will support whoever wins without hesitation but blaming other people when you don’t get what you want is only relevant if you did the work honestly and someone manipulated the process. That didn’t happen here.
I think people are upset right now because they either don’t like the process or don’t understand it. I am one of the people who doesn’t like it. It’s complicated and many don’t understand why we don’t just have a national primary across all 50 states in about June, pick the winner and go after the democrats in the general election. There are complications to that as well but it comes down to states rights on how we pick candidate. We should have a presidential primary here but the legislature eliminated it in 2002 because it costs to much and that is a limited government move. Up until this year no one cared. We will put a presidential primary back into our law before this year is over.
Lastly, the one thing I do not get from the Trump supporters who are mad at me right now is why so many believe he isn’t going to win. I think Mr. Trump has woken America up and we should be thankful for that. But why do you think he isn’t going to win. He has a big lead, the easiest path to the nomination, a lead in critical states like NY and California etc. Channel you energy into getting your guy elected and in the end if really manipulation happens I will be there to light the match for you.

But the Fire Burns Them All Away.....
Will do.
So...you're a liar? That's nice. Not only that, but you're not a very smart one, because it's a good bet that someone is going to forward this to him and he'll know you were just a liar making empty threats.
Better hope they don't have butterfly ballots in N.J., or you may be in trouble....
Why tell voters to burn it down?
The establishment is starting the fire.
So...he's a liar? That's nice. Not only that, but he's not a very smart one, because it's a good bet that someone is going to forward this to that GOP chair, and he'll know the author was just a liar making empty threats.
Better hope they don't have butterfly ballots in N.J., or that guy may be in trouble....
“Catch a fire, make it burn”..
It costs to much? WTF is the bastard talking about? But they got tons of money to let all the illegals in to that state and give them everything they demand.
BTW. Colorado is the distribution point for much of the drugs that make it across the border. It goes through NM into Co, and gets distributed out from there.
We actually let women vote
We let the people vote for Senators
We allow all US Citizens to vote
We are supposed to have fair and open Elections
If your State can not afford to hold one that is really sad because I assumed all that marijuana tax money could be used in electing people instead of choosing them
Be happy to. I’m done with this crime and corruption. What am I getting out of all this??
Completely apart from this election, in my opinion, Steve’s response which includes completely unearned courtesy, clear reasoning and remarkable restraint shows him to be a better man than you.
[It costs to much?]
I thought the state was awash in cash from marijuana profits.
This guy House is a real POS.
He tells the pissed-off guy “Right on, brother! I’m with ya, the system stinks and none of us like it but it wasn’t our fault. So you go make a principled stand and if you can prove it I’ll be right behind ya. In the meantime, I will be....well, not behind ya”.
Weasel.
Hell NO! They skim all that money off to get their pet projects going to line their pockets.
I worked in that friggan state and I will tell you that state has about as many weirdos in it than any state in the union.
They think that they are the greatest. You got something in your state? Well they got that and its better. I had one dumb effr tell me that they got canyons in that state bigger and better than the Grand Canyon. I told him that he better smoke some more wacky weed.
[This guy House is a real POS.]
Interesting - the GOP plans to change the system for 2020.
Wow, I am SOOOO GLADDD I am a registered democRAT in this state. What a bunch of losers there Coloradoan GOPe are!
