Ted Cruz supporters took all 13 of the delegates up for grabs at the Colorado GOP Convention on Saturday to complete a clean sweep of the state.
But it was not without controversy.
The Cruz camp and GOP establishment leaders strong-armed their way to a sweep by banning Trump delegates and omitting them from the ballots… and listing Cruz delegates TWICE!
They even listed their candidates twice on the ballots.
After 2000, with the whole Bush/Gore thing, I really thought both parties would push for a more foolproof election process. But they didn’t.
I think both parties like a process that can be gamed as needed.
But I wonder if President Trump will at least push for a very different Republican primary system. This one is very flawed and could be easily fixed.
We will scorch the political earth with this lying gope lying scruz ba$tard. Trump will crush him like a small bug on a driveway. He sickens me. I would go door to door to defeat him for any office.
So, what is Trump going to do about it? I hope he will not do the presently standard G O P thing, which is to talk tough and do nothing.

My goodness, did he do something illegal? Did he commit fraud as was done at Trump University? We’d best throw him in jail then along with all his pesky supporters who aided and abetted the crime.
I have trouble understanding the documents provided by the radio host.
The first document has: “State Delegates” on the top, which he has placed an X by.
Then right blow is “Congressional Delegates #1”, which has one or two names. And “Congressional Delegates #2”. Well, actually, it has this, but shortened.
On the second document, we see Congressional Delegates #1, with a name, and Congressional Delegates #2, with 9 or 10 names.
Now it appears that all the individuals listed as “state” Delegates have replaced everyone who was a Congressional Delegate #2. So, all those names are now listed as “Congressional Delegates #2”. The only names that were not replaced were those under Congressional Delegates #1.
So, I’m not sure what I’m looking at here, or why all the names were swapped. What are State delegates versus Congressional delegates in general? And why did the State Delegates replace all of the Congressional Delegates #2?

I am all for seeking justice if something illicit was done, but I am just not sure yet if this evidence really confirms that. Its possible it does, but I am not following it, so I am not ready to grab my pitch fork quite yet.
If true, wasn’t laws broken beyond not letting people vote?
A good primary system would be to force proportional primaries on all (IE: no winner-take-all), no superdelegates, and petition states that have open primaries to go back to closed primaries.
delegates are a scam created by ,you guessed it ,Politicians
Rather than ANYONE continuing to post these 3d grade playground fight, hyperbole-filled articles supporting either candidate, I might suggest a review of some wisdom from JR as he posted in:
“Path to certain failure: NeverTrump + NeverCruz = NeverWin = LostSCOTUS = LostFreedom = LostNation”
From Ronald Reagan: “When I disagree with someone 20%, he is not my 20% enemy. He is my 80% friend.”

Cruz really picked up the tricks in 2000.
What a sleaze bag.
