"and tells disgruntled Trump supporters to 'go ahead and burn the party down, if that's what it takes'"
Republican leaders in Colorado have told Trump supporters to 'burn the party to the ground' after they were denied a public vote for their presidential hopeful.
In what has been described as a 'political hack deal', Republican party leaders in Colorado pledged their support to Senator Ted Cruz without allowing registered party voters a chance to influence their decision. However, in Colorado, head of the Republican party Steve House defended the decision. In a letter to an angry registered voter, House said: '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.
Trump, addressing a rally in Albany, New York claimed Colorado was a 'rigged system', claiming he was 'millions of votes ahead' of the conservative Cruz. Republicans gave the Texas senator all 34 delegates in Colorado.
Trump also complained he received fewer delegates from Louisiana than Cruz despite winning the primary.
'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.'

Colorado GOP Leader to Disgruntled Trump Supporter: Go Ahead and Burn the Party Down
Jim Hoft Apr 11th, 2016 8:31 pm
"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.

“Burn it down”.
Well, boys and girls, we have our orders.
What will be, will be.
We must be prepared for a series of increasingly wild events, the machine beginning to vibrate, then shake violently, then fly apart.

Gosh...he was really specific, wasn’t he?
I don’t really see what the big deal is here.
If Colorado had been winner take all and Cruz had won by even one vote (and there is a high probability he would have won Colorado). Cruz would have gotten all the delegates anyway.
Cruz won within the rules in CO that are currently in place.
But how could you have rules that disenfrancse over 1 million GOP
voters? It is like being in Russia.

Yes and then it wouldn’t have been a big deal, and if I win the lottery this week I’ll be a millionaire. Fantasy, like the GoPe’s Tool, is doing anything other than electing Hillary.
TRUMP should have run as a third party candidate from the get go....
the NWO picks the candidates ....... both of them
TRUMP upset the “system” of the NWO
rigged convention
auto accident
heart attack
assassination
they will prevail ...
Winner take all primaries are flawed too. Especially when the winner that takes all doesn’t even get a majority.
“Winner take all primaries are flawed too. Especially when the winner that takes all doesn’t even get a majority.”
That is better than a vote suppressing complex system designed to allow the political elite to assign delegates. The national GOP told the Colorado people last year that they could not have a straw poll and then ignore the results when assigning delegates. To me that would signify that Colorado needed to institute either a regular caucus or a primary. Instead they abolished the straw poll.
This was planned operation to give the delegates to Cruz and it would not have mattered if Trump had 90% support in the state.
That action will not burn down the GOP Party.
It will implode the GOP Party. Total nuke destruction. Nothing will ever come out of the ashes of that.
You do realize that voters had the opportunity to vote for delegates?
If Trump had 90% support (and a hint of competence), he would have organized his supporters to run for precinct delegate. Then, with his overwhelming numerical advantage, his people would have been precinct delegates to the county conventions.
With his blowout at the precinct level, due to his 90% support, everyone at the county convention would be a Trump supporter. They would have voted for delegates to the state convention.
Since everyone at the state convention was Trump supporters, since his 90% advantage and superub organizing skills made him win all the delegates at the precinct level, then all of the delegates voted for at the state convention would have been Trump supporters.
Then Trump would have all of the delegates for Colorado.
All he had to do was organize his followers. He failed. Stop whining.
voting foe a “delegate” is much different than voting for a candidate.
You should know that.
It was a VERY limiting process.
Do you like restricting the votes?
If so, why don’t you move to Iran.
It’s very limiting for people who rely on low information voters who can’t be bothered to take any role.
Or for candidates who want to campaign from 30,000 ft. with no ground organization.
Maybe those kinds of people should run as independents.

Sid Roth’s (It’s Supernatural) guest Rich Vera had a prophetic word about DONALD TRUMP. He has a purpose. We must pray for his protection.
SID:
Tell me about Donald Trump.
RICH:
Donald Trump. Oh my goodness. You know, the Lord gave me a vision.
I’m not political, I’m not for either party.
SID:
I understand.
RICH:
But the Spirit of the Lord told me that there was a prayer, there was something he had as a
younger man with the Lord that the Lord marked his life and separated him, and because of that is
the prosperity that [he] has experienced, come on his life, in spite of what people believe of his belief
systems. But this is a man who is going to be used of God to bring to light a lot of dirt. For many years to come you’re going to hear him as a man who started in the forefront and in the media to expose the secrets of darkness in society and in government here in America.

It was rigged. You know it, I know it and the American
people know it.
A big backlash will manifest itself in some way.
