Cruz's resounding win in Colorado's GOP contest this weekend provided fresh evidence that Trump's campaign is still scrambling to catch up in the delegate hunt.

But the Trump campaign's threat that they might challenge the Colorado results at the Republican National Convention showed something else: Their campaign is gearing up for battle in Cleveland -- and no error will go unnoticed.

The debate over the national delegate selection in Colorado this weekend qualified as the very definition of inside baseball.............

Notice that Cruz no longer refers to the “DC Cartel.” He stopped using that expression and argument months ago once he was bought off. The slime ball is a liar and has no ethics. He’s an Obama Jr.

Yes and the comparisons between Ted Cruz and 0bama is uncanny when a person really thinks about it.

I think it’s Cruz, not Cruzer.

Have you seen how many variations of Trump are used on this forum to describe his fans?

Oh now were talking “binding” all of the sudden. Suddenly the phrase “presidential caucus” means defined by the Denver post as “binding” presidential caucus. The agenda they gave us said to present cases for the candidates and vote by secret ballots for the candidates. we did that. The speeches were very concise and the discussion was polite, so I’m not sure how that makes us “wind bags”. Our delegate left knowing how we voted and how we wanted him to vote. We caucused, it happened. Everyone who has ever been to a Colorado GOP caucus wishes they could have that evening of their life back, but we can’t. We were there, we caucused about the presidential nominee. We voted on the presidential nominee. At the end of the night, we had the word of a non-liberal that he was going to go to the assembly and vote like we voted. I don’t care how “binding” the Denver post thinks that is.

We have always used the same foolish, convoluted, confusing way to assign delegates and national said that if we weren’t going assign delegates by the results of our straw poll we couldn’t have straw polls any more so we stopped having straw polls.
