I’m more convinced than ever that Trump planned Colorado to happen the way it’s happening. Trump knew all about the CO rules - he said so in this press conference yesterday. He’s said over and over he likes to be unpredictable - and talks about the comment a business associate said - “We couldn’t figure you out”.
Many people in Colorado was very angry at what the GOP did with the rules last year. Here’s what the former CO GOP chair said;

And here’s the perception;

Colorado GOP has lost the perception battle, big time. That cat will never be put back in the bag.
The worst thing to do in a war is underestimate your enemy - that gives the enemy a HUGE advantage. Trump is perfectly capable of the strategic thinking required to analyze and execute exactly what is happening in the fallout of the CO fiasco. Bet on it. People don’t get here;

And signing 22k paychecks on the front with out serious stragetic thinking skills.
Excellent analysis!!!
Maybe but it also exposes trump because he has a 22% delegate advantage which is not reflected in the votes.
Well, lets suppose your right about Colorado, but how do explain his losing delegates in North Dakota? Louisiana? Georgia? Arizona? Arkansas? and many others. Just because he would happen to be right on one thing doesn’t exclude all the other instances where he is out of his depth. I would much more accurately posit that Trump thought that because Romney and McCain won the popular vote, enough to win the majority of delegates needed to secure the nomination on the first ballot, that it would be easy. He has since found that conservatives rallying behind a single candidate and making this thing draw out longer than those others. Both of those earlier nominations were wrapping up right now, and this race is shaping up to either be finished on June 7th, or at the convention. This adds a second dimension to the race that he wasn’t preparing for, and one that he is slowly coming around to try and run. That being the race for delegates. Cruz, was looking at trying to beat Jeb, him being the establishment choice, which would have been a juggernought political machinery speaking, meaning that either Cruz would consolidate the field early and win out right against Jeb, or slog it out to the end where he was planning to fight for delegates. Either way, whether it was Trump, or Jeb the plan for victory was the same and he has been working for that goal since march last year, if not before.
Wow! And with that tagline. Amazing!
