Republican Party Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is taking a swipe at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump over his complaints about the Colorado delegate-selection process.
Reince Priebus @Reince
Nomination process known for a year + beyond. It's the responsibility of the campaigns to understand it. Complaints now? Give us all a break

If you have some pressing reason to see these, let me know and I can scan some to post here or wherever.
All right then.
I read the first sentence. That’s the anecdotal fallacy. I can pull up plenty of counter-arguments from people who did NOT have an experience like you did.
As for the rest of it, Argumentum Ad Lapidem. You only mocked my arguments; you did not address them.
When the CO GOP party officials (Not the delegates; not the lobbyists; the party officials who are running the caucus) pass around resolutions basically saying that Trump isn’t going to get any delegates, and then they go on and gloat about it afterwards, even if it was deleted, there is something stinking going on.
Fine. You cited sources. But an anecdote is not a good source in this particular argument, unless you assemble many of them. The rest of it was little more than screaming in my face.
Little rinse and repeat sure knows how to engage people, as well as influence them.
God these people suck.
Cruz is such a little liar. Good for ‘conservatives’? Bwahahaha, suuuuuuure cruzzie, sure.
Your child probably cries out for attention as you spend all your time on line. Poor kid
Too bad for your little dude, the moniker of cheater is sticking like glue - rightfully so, as he says some of the stupidest comments ie. mafia - wtf?
Oh jeez, that’s quite a stretch.
Nice fantasy you lay out there - doesn’t comport with reality.
Amen Kit cat, absolutely true!
That is so idiotic, I can’t believe any thinking person would still be stuck on stupid.
Just who is causing the fight? I’ll see if you can make a cohesive argument before I give you a clue or two.
You really live in a strange made up world cupcake.
Teddy is now known as a cheater - own it
It’s a damn shame that your cheating candidate is now labeled with that tag.
Sorry laughter, I realize the truth stings and your need to pepper your comments with silly 3rd grade name calling somehow makes you feel strong and empowered.
For the rest of us, cheater is a far worse label and Teddy earned it.
I think the ‘republican’ party should have thought about those very things, over the last few years.
Not sure if you somehow missed it, but I recall being called wacko bird, stupid, clingers and other various names.
Sorry, your ‘concern’ is misplaced. If I had the desire to revisit the past, I’d list the other names we’ve been called...oh wait, here’s one I remember, being called stupid, for not supporting the GOPe choice -
Your argument is lame.
I can’t fathom what planet bruce and his chin are living on.
He still believes there are 2 parties?? Bwhahahahah
Huh? You talking about Larry Lindsey, who claimed he'd been denied his rightful slot as a delegate to State? That's been thoroughly debunked, as I outlined in detail.
Or the Colorado Freeper who claimed there were only a half dozen people per Precinct Caucus, but whose posting was devoid of a single detail that would indicate he was at *THIS* year's caucus? I told him of the overflowing crowds in the 5 Caucuses meeting in my neighborhood and asked him what County and Precinct he lives in, but he has yet to respond. [Crickets chirping]
Hey, I can well believe he witnessed a tiny attendance in previous years ... heck, the first one I went to in 2000 or 2002 had a grand total of *4* attendees, but *THIS* year? Oh come on.... Look, even if it's true that somebody's Precinct in some County had an ultra-low turnout, there's no way that can be anything but an anomaly for Colorado as a whole, given the huge turnout at State, the huge turnout at my own Cong. Dist's meeting, where they had to move the meeting *outside* for pity's sake, and last but not least, for the figure of 65,000 attendees statewide that's been posted several times.
Or are you thinking of the Colorado PCP who posted on FB that it was all a big lie that we got to vote our choice for Prez this year? Well first of all, I've said 'til I'm blue in the face that only *4* large Counties AFAIK this year bucked against the "No Straw Poll" ruling and held their own unsanctioned Straw Polls, and since we have like 67 Counties, it's no major surprise that she happens to be in one of the other 63, so that's a big duh.
But secondly, she said her caucus goers had zero chance to express their preference. All I can say is it sounds like she either blew it by skipping the open forum near the start of the meeting, or else all of her caucus goers were too shy to speak up so that nobody knew who each other's favorite Prez candidate was.
That's inconceivable for the precincts in my District, but I'll allow that her home precinct might be VERY different than the ones I know, in that they ACTUALLY VOTED to send people to State and CD even though they had NO IDEA WHATSOEVER how those Delegates were going to vote when they got there! Given the record breaking numbers of Caucus attendees and the high levels of passion in my own and nearby Precincts, it's hard to believe her experience was typical. But who knows? It's conceivably *possible* that the record high participation levels this year were driven by some freak accident, and not driven by levels of passion that would naturally come out during the meeting .... unless PCP's all over Colorado neglected to announce the open discussion period. But OTOH, it's also "conceivably possible" that the man in the moon is real, so where does that get us?
You only mocked my arguments; you did not address them.
You likely have me confused with someone else you're arguing with, because the only single "argument" you've presented to me is "The fix was in. We suspected it before. Now we know it for fact."
That's not an "argument". It's a simple "assertion," as it's not backed by a single citation, not backed by a single logical argument, not backed by anything else for that matter.
For your edification, I present below the sum total of every single word you've typed to me up until this post. If you succeed in finding something in it that can reasonably be described as an "argument" that I have failed to "address," then point it out and I will address it ---
Yep, 60,000 CO people... Who wasted their night, because the fix was already in, as we learned pretty much right after, and suspected for weeks before. Nice strawman argument, though. Twit. Two words pal: Citation Needed. Yawn. Circular argument. Begging the question. Referring me back to the same posts that I told you to cite your sources for much earlier in this argument is no kind of citation. And most of the screaming wasn’t even relevant to the fact that the fix was in at the very beginning and they CO GOP actually TOLD us as much both before AND after. You fail logic forever. Good day.OK, have at it. I'm all ears.
And please, please, PLEASE make at least *some* attempt to support your point of view with a pointer to something that hasn't been thoroughly debunked over and over. (As you've not provided a single link yet, it'd be pointless to start doing that by choosing one of the many bogus claims already put out here and discussed).
PS: Yes, I am very loud here, in terms of exclamation marks and ALL-CAPS (though you DID start the insults with "Twit"). But as I've said to others, when you and others of your bent here come after me and my activist friends and my Party and my state with your vicious Blood Libels, watch out! I'm not rolling over and playing dead for your nasty vicious lies.
Don't Mess With Colorado!
And BTW, since you just now brought up this completely bogus story that I've seen being touted by people who obviously have no clue as to how the resolutions process works in CO, or any other caucus state for that matter, ... and since I've not yet taken the time to blow this one completely out of the water, you will have the honor of being the first one to see this particular LIE go down in a ball of flame.
Only it'll have to be tomorrow.
Yeah, yeah, I know ... I'll bet you can hardly wait, eh? :-)
Maybe she’s hungry, try feeding her.
It’s a damn shame that your cheating candidate is now labeled with that tag.
Sorry laughter, I realize the truth stings and your need to pepper your comments with silly 3rd grade name calling somehow makes you feel strong and empowered.
For the rest of us, cheater is a far worse label and Teddy earned it.
This isnt about Cruz.
This is about said Whiny snowflake crying every time he loses.
There is no cheating. It’s just whiny snowflake doesn’t know the rules and then said whiny snowflake cries about it.
And when said whiny snowflake loses, Utah for example, he cries about being cheated.
I think he needs his safe space. I don’t know about you bu i prefer my candidates to not be whiney snowflakes
Trump wins by having people voting for him.
That is what is going to happen in the next two weeks.
My issue is when said Whiney snowflake either loses a race or doesn’t understand the rules, said whiney snowflake threatens to sue or cries about being cheated.
Is that how said Whiney snowflake will conduct himself in the general? He whines more than a three year old girl. I remember 1980 election very well and never did Reagan whine and cry about how unfair everything was and how he was being cheated.
But Trump is fitting I guess for 2016 America.
In fact, in 1980 never once did Reagan cry and whine about how unfair everything is and how he’s being cheated.
You can “B-b-b-b-but Croooze” all you want but the fact remains said whiney snowflake is the biggest baby candidate ever to run.
Is said whiney snowflake going to conduct himself the same way in the general? Yes he is.
To his small numbered but passionate supporters, his behavior is supposed to be a sign of strength....LMAO
“Everyone/everything is unfair” Waaaa! Waaaaa! “I didn’t know the rules going in so I’m being cheated” Waaa Waaa.
Yawn.
Ping me when the flames start so I can laugh. Until then, please keep your chest beating and saber rattling down to a minimum. It’s very annoying.
