Social media posts, along with Cruzs 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 states 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 Cruzs campaign website, Sens. Woods, Grantham, and Lambert are all listed as Cruz supporters and as declared members of Cruzs Colorado Leadership team.

>Trump announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015 so in May of 2015 when the proposed legislation was introduced and rejected in committee, Trump wasnt evening running yet so it couldnt have been meant as an attempt to stop him unless they had psychic powers or were consulting with Madame Cleo, no matter what Trump now claims about the system being rigged against HIM. And Cruz, while announcing his candidacy March 23, 2015, in August of 2015 he was not polling well and coming in 6th place in the overall list of the top 10 candidates. It is very doubtful that this was done for the benefit of Cruz.
It was designed to be rigged for Jeb, but they adapted it for Cruz against Trump. Not hard to do when the party bosses control everything.
Why would the Conservative/Constitutional Champion of the People" be against doing something that would give the people a constitutional say in things? Funny how so many of the people who have been so pissed for so long because the establishment runs rough shod over us time after time, would be so pro-establishment now - and support a guy who claimed to want to destroy the establishment but who has been working in cahoots with that same establishment to thwart the will of the people --- again.
Thanks for the info!
Ted announces that he’s running in March ‘15
Colorado scraps vote in May ‘15
Any pattern or pave-the-way?
(Vote TRUMP!!)
I take back what I said the other day about Cruz and Trump coming together.
I did say there was probably no chance with Ted’s ego, but the disgusting operation of Cruz operatives in positions of power to stop people from voting at the polls themselves I’d beyond disgusting.
At this point vomit has better qualifications than Ted Cruz for President.
I dearly hope Texas sees the national embarrassment Cruz is and primaries him out of politics.
He belongs nowhere near power, he’s too corrupted by it.
Some people have no shame. The ones who claim to stand on the constitution, cancel the voters’ right to pick their presidential nominees? There goes that lie.
Thanks for all of the research. Much appreciated.
Gee, dishonest Cruz delegates?
How shocking.
