Savage is right. Colorado changed its rules in August. At that time, Trump led Cruz in the polls. They were clearly afraid of an actual vote, and instead opted to allow the party bosses to decide for the million or so Colorado republican voters.

This move allowed Cruz to capture all 30 of the state’s delegates. If Cruz believes in fair play, he should renounce these delegates, because the process used to obtain them flies in the face of the stated goal of the GOP’s own rules, found in the preamble of the national rules, which states in relevant part:

“It is the intent and purpose of these rules to encourage and allow the broadest possible participation of all voters in Republican Party activities at all levels and to assure that the Republican Party is open and accessible to all Americans.”

Does anyone believe that the process chosen by Colorado, which totally cut out the state’s voters and thus failed to assure that the process was open and accessible to all Coloradans, lived up to the spirit of the GOP’s own rules?

Legal? Perhaps. Sleazy and further evidence of GOPe overreaching?
Without a doubt.

I agreed with Savage when he deplored baseless and sleazy attacks on Cruz by those peddling phone NE articles and smears. I agree with him now when he urges Cruz to deplore the sleaze which resulted in Cruz being awarded delegates at the expense of the voice of Colorado’s rank and file republicans.

God Bless Savage. He cuts through all the BS and divulges truth not heard elsewhere.
What’s most alarming on today’s show is how the Cruz folks are apparently quite satisfied with the party operatives deciding upon whom we get to vote. Cruz, a purported champion of the Constitution, and his followers seemingly would be right at home under a Communist/Soviet system.
I keep praying that something backfires on “Lyin’ Ted” soon!
Our entire political process is mockery to the precepts of democracy upon which out nation was founded!!
