Colorado GOP Leader to Disgruntled Trump Supporter: Go Ahead and Burn the Party Down

Colorado GOP Leader to Disgruntled Trump Supporter: Go Ahead and Burn the Party Down

This came in the email today from “James” a disgruntled Colorado Republican voter after the party elites gave all of the state delegates to Senator Ted Cruz.

On Saturday Ted Cruz supporters took all 13 of the delegates up for grabs at the Colorado GOP Convention to complete a clean sweep of the state.

But it was not without controversy. There never was a vote – Party elites decided on who got the delegates.

After Cruz swept the Colorado delegates the Colorado Republican Party tweeted this out:

From James– Included is my letter to the Colorado GOP head and his reply.

Hope this helps expose the diabolical bastards scheming to steal the nomination. Though I told him I live in Colorado I really live in N.J. and I’ll be voting for Trump on June 7th, it’ll be a landslide victory for “The Donald” here in Garden State, a friggin’ landslide.

You have no problem with Trump getting more delegates than votes in primary states? D-Fendr Can You explain yourself?

What State did get more Delegates than VOTES in a Primary STATE. The most he got was 99 Delegates in Florida from 1 Million Voters. 1 Million is more than 99

He's defending the party, at least the Colorado part of it. He's not going to do anything to burn the party down. His "I'll light the match" is conditioned on the presence of manipulation, and as far as he is concerned, there was no manipulation.

Steve can take a hike. He's blowing smoke.

Just the same, he's correct in certain ways. The party prefers public input that agrees with the party's approved candidates. It gives the public input, the same way bosses give a voice in meetings. You can say what you want, but the boss will have his way, no matter what. The boss prefers to get agreement in advance, but the decision is not conditional on agreement. The decision is independent of agreement.

When a party picks a candidate, the party is the boss, and the voters are the "workers." The party is usually successful in limiting viable candidates to those who are approved or acceptable to the party (party insiders), and in manipulating the process so one of a few selected, pre-approved candidates gets the nomination. This season, the winner of the nomination was supposed to be Jeb Bush, and may still be Jeb Bush.

But also this season, the party has a candidate that is both popular and unacceptable, Donald Trump. In Colorado, the party rejected the unacceptable candidate.

Colorado... you add kerosene to an already lit fire and then blame someone else for burning it down?

Classic politics.

Proportionately. A higher proportionate of delegates than votes.

“Though I told him I live in Colorado I really live in N.J.”

I’m guessing the author of this piece isn’t too worried if the Colorado GOP burns to the ground.

“ell, if this is the end of the GOP and the two hundred odd year Republic, one may as well listen to some good music.

May I suggest ?
a stirring Scarlet/Fire with a one time only improvisation in the lyrics where “Before the final ascent in Fire, Jerry sings “Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn”. That’s one of my favorite moments.”

An epic rendition of Morning Dew captured on film starts at the 6:45 mark and by 14:45 “I guess it doesn’t matter anyway,” sad as that is.

The song is a dialogue between the last man and woman left alive following an apocalyptic catastrophe: Dobson has stated that the initial inspiration for “Morning Dew” was the film On the Beach which is focused on the survivors of virtual global annihilation by nuclear holocaust.”

Thanks for introducing me to that song. I immediately downloaded it. I LOVE depressing music and that song is as depressing as it gets. It makes the song “DOA” by Bloodrock sound joyful in comparison and that’s pretty hard to do.

So you feel that all the voters were accurately represented at your convention in that Cruz got all your states delegates? Meaning if it was a majority winner take all primary, Cruz would’ve gotten. 50% or more? That would be quite a feat, as he didn’t even get over 50% in his home state of Texas!

The winner by the people voting of the States should get more delegates then the losers. Trump has won almost twice as many States by voting as Cruz. There is nothing to your meme of Trump having more delegate - he earned them honestly, Cruz has won nothing honestly since the GOPe took over Cruz’s dead campaign after the South.

So the rules were changed and that was the way the system works.

OK.

My question is: were Colorado voters aware back in August that there would be no voting by the population? Did the Establishment announce the change openly or did they keep it a secret? If the GOPe didn't broadcast the change so it was known to everyone - voters and candidates alike - then it's not "validly changing the rules". It's cheating.

What did the voters know, and when did they know it?

Not did they not take a vote, they never even took a poll there. I suspect cruz might have been more popular there, but there is really no way of knowing.

I’ve now come to the conclusion it is no longer GOPe. The correct spelling is gopE, because there is so little Grand Ol’ Party left, but there’s one hell of an Establishment.
