Social media posts, along with Cruz’s campaign website, reveal that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% supporters in the Colorado Republican Party were responsible for crushing an effort to give Colorado the ability to vote in a state primary. In May of 2015, four Colorado Senate Republicans killed an initiative “to create a presidential primary in 2016,” reported the Denver Post. “Under the bill, Colorado would have held a presidential primary in March that ran parallel with the state’s complicated caucus system… when it came before the Senate Appropriations Committee, four Republicans voted to kill the bill with three Democrats supporting it.” The four Republicans who voted against the initiative were Sen. Kevin Grantham, Sen. Kent Lambert, Sen. Laura Woods, and Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg. On Cruz’s campaign website, Sens. Woods, Grantham, and Lambert are all listed as Cruz supporters and as declared members of Cruz’s “Colorado Leadership team.”

SO WHAT?
Oh I am so shocked
Bizarre they would have thought it a good idea to take the vote away from citizens even then.
Just wait till November. The Rats are not working on a way to steal it?
Oh my. There could be some payback to these hacks who voted to
disenfranchise Colorado voters.
Like electing other people.
Cruzers are basically no different from SJWs. They don’t trust normal people to make the right decisions, so they force their will on others. This tyrannical streak runs through the veins of Cruzers. We see it everywhere, with them creating black lists, going after the Eagles Forum to silence Phyllis, Right Scoop which bans every one who does not support Cruz, or even here on Free Republic, where many demanded that Trump supporters be zotted.
REALLY?!?!
4 officers from each of 64 counties, plus the 4 from state?
65 x 4 = 260
Are ALL Cruz supporters?
Lets all get behind the unlikable creepy slimy Canadian lawyer- a sure way to put Hillary in office
All the talking points that have come from the GOPe, the Cruz campaign and Cruz supporters have been this is all normal, rule are rules, etc, all BS.
This is just downright corruption.

Colorado is very illustrative, of why the GOP is just one big corrupt mess.
Trump needs to be elected. Vote Trump.
I hate to have to admit it, but you might be right. I've been a conservative since I was 16 years old and I've never seen “conservatives” act like the left towards it's own before this election.
There's this insane mania to win for Cruz at any cost that's really cult like and it will ultimately destroy the conservative movement if it continues.
Mostbassuredly. They will pay, and Cruz will ultimately lose anyway despite their shenanigans.
Nobody but nobody was buying what these jackasses were peddling anyway. Now it will be even harder.
Go Trump!

Very true.
So what?
Are you suggesting the charade in Colorado wasn’t the perfect setup for those motivated to manipulate elections?
The GOPe won’t play dirty against the DIMs ...they only get dirty on Trump ...hence the mess the country is in .... GOPe = Cucks
Cruz won the battle but Trump will win the war. These moves show Cruz nature. I am glad this came out least we elect this slimball to a high office-—Next time he’s up for election—he needs to be tossed out of the Senate.
