Looks like Colorado knows how to hold a regular primary, when it wants to. They have one on June 28, 2016 for every office EXCEPT PRESIDENT. From the Senate on down. Sounds like regular voters are allowed to register their opinion on this election, without voting for blind delegates, evidently.
Your thoughts?
Rigged? How so? Do you have any evidence showing it was rigged? Or are you just lying again.
Excellent analogy.
“I still believe in states rights...”
The CO GOP is not the state.
Cruzlims don’t like the truth. Calgary Ted has won a total of 4 elections so far. The truth is that Lyin’ Ted does much better with his fellow GOPe party hacks than he does with voters. Siding with party hacks and the games they play to cut out voters is not very complimentary but when you are a Cruzlim, it is all you have.
“It’s chaos. It’s a cluster #@@#. It’s the ultimate insider’s game,” said Josh Penry, a GOP operative in Denver who chaired Marco Rubio’s campaign in Colorado. “There are so many delegates in play.”......
......roughly 6,000 party activists in Colorado Springs, where 27 of the state’s 34 delegates to the Republican National Convention will be elected.”
So out of a 1,000,000 registered voters, 6,000 party activists chose 27 party delegates after viewing each of them on stage for 10 seconds!
.06 % of the voters chose the delegates.
SIX-TENTHS OF A PERCENTAGE OF THE COLORADO REPUBLICAN VOTERS GOT TO CHOOSE THE DELEGATES.
Perhaps the entire CO delegation will be unseated
You are delutional dude.
The rules were changed last August to rig outcome against Trump.
Everyone in America knows that except delutional Cruz supporters.
Cruz’s poll numbers are dropping like a rock because of it.
Now, I answered your rude post. Answer mine.
Please give the breakdown of votes for Trump and Cruz in Colorado.
Trump said geller caused the attack in garland.
Cruz never said anything comparable and said the protesters were wrong in Chicago
Corker was a good bill against an evil govt in Iran.
Free trade is conservative
Cruz won five conservative Supreme Court cases.
Cruz shut down the government in 2013.
That flipped the senate in 2014.
Had that not happened Eric holder would now be sitting in Scalia’s seat.
Yep, more and more stories are coming out about the disenfranchisement of Trump delegates in CO.
Frm Breitbart: Kimberly JaJack, a Trump delegate, said that she was prevented from voting:
“…I asked a few people, no one seemed to have the ballots for my last name. At that particular time, I had to do my ten-second speech because I was running for national delegate. I came back and said I don’t have a ballot and I went to Andie, the president of the Cherry Creek Republican Women in Colorado, and she looked at her board. She had my name on this page and it had a check mark next to it. She looked at it and said “this is a check mark.” I said “This is my badge, you do NOT see a mark on it, do you?”
...don’t vote for its nominees.
This is also EXACTLY the tone-deafness that CREATED the Trump campaign and it’s success...thanks for confirmation that we are right to vote for the vampire-killer.
No. The rules were changed to prevent an outsider from winning the GOP nomination in Colorado. The FACT that Trump chose to blow off Colorado and not do like Cruz did...which was to work within the rules to gain delegates....is very telling re: what kind of a CIC Trump would be. He would be an utter disaster, IOW.
“Yet, you cannot give a breakdown because no breakdown of votes exist, because CO citizens were denied the right to vote directly for a candidate.”
I know you think that’s outrageous. Consider, though, that no US citizen got to vote directly on the adoption of the US constitution.
Voters elected their house and senate in each state. Each state house and senate selected delegates to the Constitutional convention. And the delegates to the Constitutional convention wrote the constitution. It went back and was ratified by the elected representatives of the people in the states.
I think Donald and you should start a movement to declare the Constitution invalid because the people didn’t get to vote on it directly.
By the way, that’s why America is properly called a “republic” instead of a “democracy.” It is precisely to force mass temper tantrums like the one being pitched by the Trump voters today to have overwhelming public support before the whole nation participates in the temper tantrum.
Trump’s negatives strongly suggest that your temper tantrum does not have that overwhelming support.
At the start of the campaign season, I would have gladly voted for Trump over HRC. Since then, the nastiness, the triumphalism, and dishonesty of that campaign (from top to bottom) have made Trump a worse nominee than John McCain and Bob Dole. So I will probably have to hold my nose and wear a gas mask to vote if he wins the nomination.
I don’t think you guys have any idea how much Trump has alienated conservative Colorado tea partiers by his tactics. He has pretty much trashed any hope he had of winning Colorado with his nasty and dishonest behavior.
8 lies in one posts. I should know better then to respond to your foolishness, but sometimes I just can’t help myself.
The rules were changed in August, after Trump announced in June.
Why were just the Presidential rules changed?
To rig the election against Trump.
You seem to like the limited, arcane rules in Colorado.
No surprise. Anything that benefits your candidate.
Cruz is about to get wiped out in Northern States
and will soon be mathematically eliminated.
Take that and shove it.
Remember:
Trump said Hillary would make a good president in 2008.
You won’t be able to say he ever lied to you when you realize how you’ve been had.
Wonderful pics. Wonderful family!
Sorry, but you are mistaken.
The only rule change had to do with dropping a meaningless straw poll at the state convention. Otherwise, the Colorado election was conducted exactly as it has been conducted in every cycle since 2004.
Trump supporters are LIV enough to “think” that America is
“supposed to be a Democracy” too, just like Trump “thinks”. They want a pure, majority rules Democracy here in the USA, apparently. One MORE reason why they must be defeated.
