Ted Cruz continues to rack up delegates in Colorado with another clean sweep today, bringing his total in the state to 18...

If you pathetic little pouters give the country to Hillary because your guy couldn’t cut it, you are not patriots.
Apparently neither you nor Trump bothered to check out the rules.
It’s the way it has worked there and you only now, when Cruz wins, decide it is corrupt.
>If you pathetic little pouters give the country to Hillary because your guy couldn’t cut it, you are not patriots.
Is Ted Cruz a patroit? Anyone who pals around with open borders Beck for 3/4ths of the primary and takes money from endless Islamic immigration Jeb isn’t a patriot in my book.
Thanks, Bubba.
Now, if we promise you won’t have to look at either a Jesus statue or a Cruz statue, will you come on over to the Cruz side?
It’s a pretty good chance ... not a slim chance.
And it won’t be a brokered convention, it will be a contested convention.
Everything will ride on the second round of votes when delegates are released from voting for their original candidates.
It should make for excellent television.
Stock up on beer, or pot or your drug of choice.
Then you better start voting Trump.
Because if you p*ssy jesus freaks can’t hack voting for a real Alpha Male, then Hillary is going to get it.
Or maybe ask iCarly and Flores, and Carpenter what you should do? I mean, you are all cuck.
What are you going to do when a someone like Putin gets in your face? Ask Hillary what to do?
Look man, women can’t solve ALL your problems, sometimes you have to just be a man and fix the stuff. You can’t go through life being passive aggressive. When the Russians or Iran do bad stuff, you can’t go and blame Trump.
How are you going to attack Hillary when you hide behind women and cringe at the thought of being critical of the female persuasion?
Such a cuck.
I bet Amanda uses a strap on him.
Cruz’n for a strap on.
Trumps platform: Make America Great Again
Cruz’s platform: C*ck Block Trump
Wow.
that was:
Crude.
Direct.
Accurate!
10 rounds,
10 meters,
10 centimeters,
10 seconds,
1 mag
45 ACP (but only right handed)
it is the alpha way!
So, the allocation of delegates reflects the will of the GOPe and NOT the average JoeSchmo.
“Ted Cruz continues to rack up delegates”
Well, you ALMOST had me, the thing is the NBC.
I don’t care what Cruz or his lawyers say, I mean, the founders spelled things in pretty simple terms. They used common lanaguage. They didn’t say Chinese Born, Russian Born, Iranian Born, Mexican Born, Brithish Born, they were pretty clear. Natural Born.
Now I know Cruzers say “yeah, but we’ll overlook that”
They also say “he’s a Contitutionalist”
You can’t have it both ways.
If he’s such bright man, willing to sacrifice for the constitution, then he should man up and say “I was not born on American soil, I cannot be POTUS”
Why? Because it sets precident.
But NOOOO, he’s not what you all want him to be.
Cruz is in it for HIMSELF, Constitution.. and precident be DAMNED.
He could take one for the team, like so many I served with have, for this nation, but he won’t. It’s all about HIM.
Therefore, I don’t trust him.
And, he’s a religious nutball.
I don’t want my government playing God when it comes to morality. I’m NOT a moraility voter. I’m the Ben Franklin, Ronald Reagan , John Adam’s type.
Reagan often talked about God, but not Jesus. That brings people in. I believe in God, like 70% of Americans do (believe it or not), but what we don’t like is the guy in the suit walking up our driveway knocking on our door every Sunday asking us “have you heard the good word?”
Plus, I don’t trust ANYONE who hides behind a bible.
I’m sorry, the bigger the bible, the bigger the skeleton.

It was on target?
Man, it took me 3 tries to qualify, it was my last try!
I’m horrible with shooting, so I’m going to brag I got one 1st try!
Give me a gun and watch people run!
rack up = steal
And your point is?
A delegate selects a delegate who selects a candidate. Seems pretty straight forward to me. We do the same basic thing here in Michigan to select some positions here. We had to get together to boot the local RINOs out. Then we placed our selected delegates in. It took some planning for about 6 months and some dedication but we took 75% of the spots.
But back to the original statement that the citizens dont get a vote in Colorado is just a flat out lie. If they are not willing to put the effort in to vote then they choose not to vote. They were always allowed to vote they either were to lazy or chose not to.
Just like Trump chose not to put in the effort in Colorado and now Cruz has all Colorados delegates.
My point, that was a poster is from Colorado. You are NOT.
And that means I cant read the rules on the Colorados SOS web page? Or that I cant understand them?
What makes you the great expert? Oh you read a post thats right. Kind of like I read something.
The problem is that the post you read was by some one who obviously didnt want to put the effort in to seeing his candidate win. Cruz put in the effort with a lot of his supporters and he won the delegates. Plain and simple.
Trump chose not to and he lost. Again plain and simple.
Because your candidate does not choose to put in the effort does not make Cruz a cheater or a GOPe shill as some would have people believe.
that is what I get when I post 10 mm instead of 10 cm...
< / ashamed deeply, really and truly >
donald tricked me into typing that!
Drudge headline is about how the delegates think they are rock stars and continue to be courted Cruz and his super pacs.
Think about it. The average American tuning into the convention will remember as an example that Trump won Arizona, no question.
Then you might have the cable networks interviewing an AZ delegate who thinks he/she might pull a fast one on the thousands that took time off work, faced the protesters head on and then they have to watch paid Cruz operative delegates not vote for Cruz at the convention?
While Cruz may think he is smart to connive his was to more delegates, thousands, millions who already voted and expect their state to say yes for Trump in Cleveland, only to find out Cruz is back door paint them to got for him in JUly will not sit well. Cruz has lost his mind in thinking this is a winning strategy. And Drudge and others will continue to shine the light on Cruz's lame attempt to disenfranchise millions of primary voters.
My observation is that it reflects a combination of 1) the will of the insiders on a county-by-county basis and 2) the will of any special interest groups who are organized enough to "pack the caucuses."
The local insiders I speak of are not necessarily the same thing as what we refer to as the "GOPe". An example of a local insider would be a wealthy mover and shaker who wants certain construction projects or new roads funded that will benefit him. Some of these insiders are long-time contributors to the party with an entitlement mentality who think everyone should do as they say. Some of them are just people like us who are in the 5% who are most politically active. Some of them are nutcakes who have nothing better to do then spend their lives raising hell.
Two examples of caucus packers, both from the last presidential election, would be 1) the 60 Mormons who showed up at our caucus to vote for Romney in the straw poll and then left before the proceedings got underway and 2) the Ron Paul people who got all the way to the national convention by lying about who they were supporting.
The bottom line is that the "average Joe Schmo" has very little influence, except in the general election after the candidates have been selected. Theoretically, Joe Schmo can show up at all the Republican events, become a precinct committeeman, get on the central county committee, and attend the state convention. I myself went through this process. However, the bureaucratic madness, dozens of hours spent, and days on the road (to the state assembly) made the experience too unpleasant to repeat. After doing this for ten years and watching the corruption spiral out of control, I quit the party in disgust.

Cruz is coming off as a shady lawyer.
