Sorry, that's pretty hollow coming from a conspiracy theorist who can't tell the difference between the retinue of Achilles and Gru.

Colorado GOP Lied About #NeverTrump Tweet – The Account Was Not Hacked
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3420112/posts
The Republican party said this tweet saying the account was hacked. But that is a lie. The party deleted the tweet only three minutes after it was posted – meaning they still had control of the account. It was not hacked – it was a Republican party insider.
“Cruz might have ‘outmanuevered’ Trump in Colorado, but BY DENYING VOTERS a chance to even vote? That is brazen contempt for us in ‘flyover country’.
That is SHEER HARVARD ARROGANCE!”
We need a new rules sheet......

Ted Cruz isn’t winning. He’s running around engaged in all manner of desperate measures that a weak candidate is reduced to.
No, I do not hate Cruz. But it should be obvious to all that he has lost this primary and, like Kasich, is only hanging on in an attempt to block Trump from getting the requisite 1237 delegates. I am disappointed that Cruz has surrendered himself to the GOP’s siren song and is now working with them against we the grassroots voters. A convention fight will never lead to Cruz becoming the nominee. If the GOP can anoint someone else over Trump (who has and will have amassed the lion’s share of the primary votes and delegates) just because they hate him, then they can anoint someone else over the second place finisher whom they hate just as much.
The establishment fix is in. The surest way to stop it at this time is to have Cruz, Kasich or Rubio join forces with the front runner to put him over the top before the convention. I’d much prefer it to be Cruz than Kasich or Rubio.
They very last thing we should hope for is to have a convention fight where the GOPe will snatch victory in November from our grasp by installing someone like Romney, Bush or Ryan. This will permanently split the party and will usher in a socialist/democrat in November to continue Obama’s destructive policies. This could be the end of America as a sovereign nation.
I never thought you hated anybody (though Obama tasks us all). I was just trying to correct another Freeper who seriously implied you did.
You have a healthy cynicism, learned the hard way, about the GOP. And even though we disagree about candidates to fix the problem the Big Picture must always be the ultimate defeat of the Evil Left.
You like Trump and I can’t blame you for using your assets to promote him. I like Ted yet I think big Cruz supporter Mark Levin is stupid to say he would never vote for Trump.
Too bad everything got ugly...it only helps Hillary.
My question is, how has Cruz lost the primary?
1237 is the required amount. A majority of the delegates. Always has been since the party’s inception.
No candidate has a majority, or is even close.
To say Cruz lost the primary is to assume it has been won, which it has not.
Great presidents have come out of a contested convention: Lincoln... Eisenhower...
It should not be assumed it will be a bad thing.
With the end roads Cruz is making across the country in the actual state conventions with delegates, ballot #2 comes up and Trump is done.
Please do not think this battle is over and we need to just throw in the towel and all jump behind Trump. He is NOT the nominee, and in fact is not liked by a majority of the GOP as poll after poll after poll and election after election after election has shown.
Trump has not won a single majority of any state. It has not happened.
Cruz on the other hand, has won majorities in several.
Just because Trump benefited from a crowded field in the beginning does not mean Cruz should be abandoned.
As far as working against grassroots voters, where has this happened? Colorado was nothing BUT grassroots voters. People went to precinct conventions on March 1st and elected delegates to the county conventions. From their they elected delegates to the state and county district conventions.
Completely grassroots. Trump’s whining and belly aching is just misdirection to shift away from the obvious, he had his rear kicked in Colorado.
I still have faith the GOP is NOT completely suicidal. You are correct in your assertion that if they install their own candidate, the party is done. But they are not stupid. They see the electorate rising up.
From my view, they have decided to back a lesser of two evils, Cruz. From my view, this is what we want. THEM surrendering to US. I believe its real, the desire to stop Trump is VERY real, and if it means dealing with Cruz for 4-8 years... then so be it (from their perspective of course) but it is FAR better than risking everything on someone whom no one has any idea what they will do.
Cruz willingly joining with the GOPe against we the people is the most obvious signal that he lost it fair and square.
I see it as them joining with Cruz against the Trump campaign, not we the people.
Campaigns will oppose each other. It’s what they do.
I certainly would not epect any candidate to look upon the opposition favorably, at least while the battle is raging.
The 49er’s coach is not out there praising the Cowboy’s coach at halftime, he is instead back in the locker room rallying the troops to defeat the opposition.
Nope. Just makes Cruz another establishment flunkie. They’ll own him.
I am not the least bit surprised that you see this election very clearly, Jim.
Hannity is so far up Trump’s rump, that is just laughable.
fyi
fyi
Hannity again today let psycho Cruz go off the rails attacking Trump. Sean lets Cruz lie, make crazy accusations, and never challenges him.
Hannity also still thinks Cruz is an insurgent, HA!
You believe that Ted Cruz has turned traitor against us and that he’s aiding and abetting the enemy? That he’s a full-on traitor to the U.S. Constitution and a free republic? You think that?
You’re not just angry about the process and tactics? You think Ted Cruz is a traitor like John McCain is a traitor?!
What nonsense you speak.
We are in the 3rd quarter, and the score is 20 to 16 Trump.
No one is cheating or stealing jack. Team Trump decided to start crying about it here in the 3rd, but Team Cruz remains resolved in their efforts to finish take the lead and defeat Trump in the 4th or in overtime if necessary.
Again, slowly so you can comprehend:
This isn’t a football game.
You support Cruz?
That’s what you have in common with Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Carly Fiorina, and the rest of the GOPe. Cruz has embraced them and all of their underhanded behavior.
And so have you.
Some ‘conservative’ *snort*.
