It’s not Cruz’s fault that Trump is a moron. Trump supporters who know the truth are willfully promoting the false narrative that the Colorado vote was rigged.
It's colloquially known as "All in the Family"
Cruz is sweeping nothing. This is the work of the GOPe machine using party insiders who have been in place since before the primaries began. They may claim they are for Cruz for the slow learners but the fact is they have no loyalty to Cruz. This is why the GOPe is so smug they have control of the nomination process Wake up Cruzers, your boy was taken over by the GOPe and is nothing more then a Rino Nominating political machine now.
[The situation in Colorado as a “crooked deal.]
Will the majority of Colorado citizens even care that the Republican Party left them out of the voting process? NO
Sad, considering people die for the right to vote in other countries.
Who's he thanking, the RNC? Nobody got to vote.
Smart politics for Trump. He wasn’t going to win Colorado but he can make Cruz pay a price. Americans love games but hate cheaters. Trump will get more delegates than he lost over this.
The “delegate fight” is a fundamental,part of the primary process - and Mr. Trump is just now setting up his organization. It’s his fault he’s losing the ground game, not Sen. Cruz who has been planning a nationwide primary for months.
Grow up Mr. Trump.
It’s going to be so funny when Cruz gets stabbed in the back by the GOPe at the convention.
First hint will be when rule 40 is thrown out.
Americans hate cheaters? You mean, like Donald Trump’s multiple cheating affairs?
Cheatin’ TED
It’s not a crooked deal. It’s certainly undemocratic, but the Colorado rules were very well known long ago, and those insider rules were followed. Had Trump played by those rules, instead of ignoring the state, he could have done quite well.
Trump knew or should have known how Colorado assigns delegates, and he should have had his team there to make sure the outcome was as favorable to him as possible. As I’ve said several times before, Team Trump needs to study the rules for the remaining states - carefully - and make sure they are ready to win under the rules that they are playing under. That includes having pledged Trump delegates in the relevant states and having a full slate of delegates available where that matters.
Especially in PA and in the few other states where delegates are not bound at all, it means making sure the selected delegates are loyal to him. That is Trump’s responsibility, not something that a responsible person would leave to the insiders that Trump knows oppose him.
The process there stinks and they are finding out via blowback. Next time allow the citizens to cast a vote who have registered accordingly.
Cruz is the disposable vehicle the RNC will use to steamroller Trump and his supporters.
The democrats in their wildest dreams couldn’t come up with a better scheme to neutralize and critically wound the republican party than the path the RNC and GOP eleites have taken.
If they were picking a husband, yes.
Incompetent Trump blames rules that have been in place since last year rather than admit his ground game sucks. Where else have I heard of a thin-skinned narcissist blaming other for his failures?
Trumps not a moron...though, he is many other things which I think disqualify him from the WH...
Trump is at best was naive about the process...
Strange, how the anti-entailment candidate has brought into his most inner circle a GOPe insider...(not really)
For a guy who boasts and brags he has the best and the brightest on his payroll, he sure looks stupid being caught flat footed on how the process actually works...
Trump supporters seem to want a pure democracy (mob rules) rather than a representative republic...
Mob rule rarely works out...
If the roles were reversed, Trump supporters would be bragging on how sharp and smart their guy is for getting (stealing) Cruz delegates...
Everyone take note of what "defendtheright" is saying because it is absolutely TRUE. AND not just in Colorado!
I have posted that websites such as GATEWAT Pundit are doing exactly this by posting Cruz is stealing delegate which is NOT true. All delegates are legally obligated to vote for its candidate on the first ballot. I can rattle tons of misinformation just on this site alone.
What these hacks are doing is promoting the idea that if Trump has the most delegates but not a majority going into the convention he should be given the nomination. They are working you up so that if Trump does not win the nomination of the first ballot they will claim a stolen nomination. They want you to riot and harass delegates for god sakes.
Folks this is nothing short of Fascist techniques. The idea that a plurality is a majority is right out of the handbook.
