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.
The anti-Trump politicians were passing around a “Resolution to Forbid Colorado Delegates from Voting for Trump” for weeks before the convention.
Snip... Robert Zubrin from Colorado Republicans for Liberty wrote about the anti-Trump resolution at American Thinker back on March 22, 2016:
In the caucuses March 1, I was elected an alternate delegate to the Colorado State GOP convention, which on April 9 will select and instruct our delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer.
Accordingly, I have drawn up a resolution that is now being circulated that will forbid Colorado delegates to the national convention from voting for Donald Trump for president or vice president on any ballot. Such a resolution is necessary, because Trump has publicly stated that his methods of operation include buying or renting the services of politicians for cash.
As the text of the resolution provides a succinct and forceful summary of the reasons why Donald Trump is unacceptable as a Republican candidate for president, I thought I would share it with the readers of American Thinker. Here it is:
Resolution to Forbid Colorado Delegates from Voting for Donald Trump
Whereas Donald Trump is not a Republican; and
Whereas Donald Trump is a demagogue who is using fear, hate, and lies to assemble a mob in support of an agenda of socialist policy, unlimited government, and strongman rule; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the Western alliance which is the basis of American security; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the system of international trade which is the basis of American prosperity; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the freedom of the press that is the basis of American liberty; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the rule of law which is the basis of American civil society; and
Whereas Donald Trump has mocked those who risked their lives to fight for America when he avoided doing so; and
Whereas Donald Trump has acted as an apologist for America’s enemy Vladimir Putin and other brutal anti-American foreign tyrants; and
Whereas Donald Trump has set himself forth as an open exponent of lust, greed, and other vices antithetical to Judeo-Christian ethics and the moral fiber necessary to sustain a republic; and
Whereas Donald Trump has demonstrated that he has no respect for the truth, and
Whereas Donald Trump has defrauded thousands of ordinary Americans of their life savings; and
Whereas Donald Trump has, in the course of the present campaign, committed acts potential prosecutable as incitement to riot, a federal crime punishable by up to five years in prison; and
Whereas Donald Trump has knowingly acted to degrade the Republican presidential nominating process to a vile level that can only serve to drive people of talent and integrity out of the party and assist in the election of the party’s opponents; and
Whereas the nomination of Donald Trump for president would insure a landslide defeat for the Republican Party nationwide in the fall, and deeply damage the Republican Party and the conservative movement for years, and possibly decades to come; and
Whereas a vote for Donald Trump by any member of the Colorado delegation to the Republican National Convention would dishonor and disgrace the Colorado Republican Party;
Therefore, be it resolved that:
The Colorado Republican Party forbids any of its delegates to the Republican National Convention to vote for Donald Trump for president or vice president on the first ballot or any other ballot, and The Colorado Republican Party asks its delegates to national convention to pledge on their honor to do everything in their power to help secure the presidential nomination for someone other than Donald Trump. Donald Trump has threatened the Republican Party with mob violence. Let’s tell him where to go!

The anti-Trump officials handed out this same resolution at the state convention on Saturday.
If you had really done research, you would have learned that there hasn't been a primary in Colorado since 2001. Of course you could have attended a precinct caucus and really involved yourself in the delegate election process, but you chose to remain ignorant instead.

Ted Cruz just another zdC political hack
pretty sure it’s for real. someone on twitter was posting it and said it was being distributed at the Co caucus. i think i first saw it on Laura Ingram’s retweet thread about Co this weekend.
There, fixed it.
I'm SO glad we got that one squared away!
It was driving me carzy!
Then you finally have truth.
Guess it never occurred to you that whole states do not like Trump. Don’t forget Indiana delegates over the weekend, they are not pro Trump, one of them said he wouldn’t vote Trump if given his own casino. Long list of states who have chosen delegates that will only give Trump vote on first ballot. Truth is establishment goes down to the local level where the delegates are chosen and apparently many of them are not pro Trump.
I don’t remember them speaking out so strongly against BHO....
Ouch!
The telling thing here is that this happened six weeks ago, yet Trump supporters are so detached from the election process that they didn’t find out about it until now. Maybe if a Trump supporter had actually showed up at a precinct caucus where these flyers were distributed, Trump could have been whining about this six weeks ago.
Cruz must be so proud.
The point of this posting is to inform people that it was passed around at the state convention on Saturday.
The convention where the Co GOP tweeted this:
There were NO caucuses !!!
You are the one who is totally not informed there were NO precinct caucuses, there was NO VOTING at all!!! There was a delegate convention, when Trump delegates showed up THEY WERE TURNED AWAY told they were not on the delegate list to attend!!! Have YOU been sleeping under a rock somewhere???
Rigged. Rigged. Rigged.
Cruz was a participant in this CO rigged outcome.
Cruzdominionist are SCUM.
From the lead story:
In the caucuses March 1, I was elected an alternate delegate to the Colorado State GOP convention, which on April 9 will select and instruct our delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer.
It took you less than three minutes to respond with a statement that is utterly untrue. Let me guess, you're a Trump supporter, right?
Limbaugh should retire.
He is way past his sell date.
The caucuses on March 1st were not caucuses that selected a presidential choice. They merely selected delegates.
