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

A total bummer, eh?
For the record I appreciate all the time and effort you are putting into your posts. This is what makes this site great, detailed reports from people who actually know what they are talking about. Not rellying on thrird hand sourcing from blogs to blogs.
It’s refreshing to hear what someone actually FROM Colorado and involved in the process there has to say.
Thank you again,
Wah wah, widdle Crewzie Cultist can’t stand to hear that he supports tyranny, so he has to call everyone else a liar instead.
If there are rules, there are rules. If elections are not required in America, just be honest and say so. Why should we waste our time going to our precincts and voting when the whole process can be completed by Cruz paying delegates to vote for him? I’m sure he has unlimited resources via Goldman Sachs, etc.
I guess it’s about time that we un-learned things we’ve been taught since childhood. “One man, one vote.” “Every vote counts.” “It’s your duty as an American to vote.” We’ve been living in a fool’s paradise for decades. Who knew that our votes mean nothing?
Where are you pulling the falsehood of ‘small number of supporters’?
Anything, anything at all to help you little liar over the finish line. Sad
Ok dimwit, it IS about teddy and how he is forever tainted with the label of cheater.
Go whine about that somewhere else.
Maybe it is you who needs the safe space, special little snowflake that you continue to reveal yourself to be -
I won’t bother you’re fantasy world again (unless you post something patently false) so go, run along and enjoy pointing fingers and making up alternate realities, it suits you well.
If Donald Trump doesn’t know the rules that’s his fault. You can blame Cruz, you can blame Jesus you can blame anybody. But watching said whiny snowflake cry about rules that are in place but he didn’t bother to read is pathetic.
Yet we are told that said whiny snowflake is our only chance to save the country
Nobody knows the rules at the convention, they aren't decided yet. Trump is right, the process is rigged.
Of course the system is rigged
The point is said whiny snowflake seems to always cry whenever he loses
And it seems said whiny snowflake is the only one that cries
he does that on purpose, it galvanizes his support and attracts Independents who don't trust the party system to begin with. The proof came out today, Trump wins huge with the Independents, Cruz has very little I support. I support will be key in a run against Hillary.
Trump wins huge with the Independents, Cruz has very little I support.
Where?

This post makes no sense.
Pointing out the fact that said whiney snowflake whines every time he doesn’t get his way has proven to be a fact. He whines, complains, threatens to sue... these are facts. No whine. Just facts
In fact, said whiney snowflake is proving to be a bigger baby than BHO
If Cruz, Kasich, or any other candidate whined as much as said whiney snowflake I wouldn’t hesitate to call them out.
I support will be key in a run against Hillary.
That’s what Romney thought
Your claim:
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,
I've seen that claim here multiple times. This originally appeared in "American Thinker" - see: Colorado GOP Resolution: No Voting for Trump
(NOTE: Though this appears at first glance to be posted by a reputable author in a reputable magazine, I clicked on their Authors link and my text editor counts nearly 4000 "authors," including such world-renowned literati as, "A soldier" and "WordWayze" and "letter to the editor" and "unsigned" and so on. You get the picture. Their "list of our authors" = "anyone with internet access".)
Excerpt from first paragraph:
In the caucuses March 1, I was elected an alternate delegate to the Colorado State GOP convention ........ Accordingly, I have drawn up a resolution which is now being circulated which will forbid Colorado delegates ....
This is total nonsense. The guy who wrote this is delusional or severely truth-challenged.
Because you don't "circulate" resolutions.
You can "circulate" rumors. You can "circulate" petitions. You can "circulate" lots of things. But you can NOT "circulate" resolutions within the Colorado Caucus System's process for submitting resolutions.
Colorado's Resolution process (I don't know about other Caucus States) has three stages:
But his statement that, A) He had attended his Precinct Caucus on March 1, and then B) He now had in his hands a resolution he planned to "circulate" is of absolutely no importance, because the means that are open to him to circulate his ideas are no more and no less than the means open to you or I to "circulate" our own ideas.
Once Caucus night was over, the fate of that resolution was entirely out of his hands, except possibly the right to vote it up or down at the County Assembly. But I *seriously* doubt his County's Resolutions Committee would have included such a nasty off-the-wall resolution in the list they presented to the County Delegates. If his County's anything like mine, partisans of *all* the Presidential candidates would have been incensed and quite vocal about the idiots on the Resolutions Committee insulting our intelligence.
Yet another Blood Libel against Colorado bites the dust.
DON'T MESS WITH COLORADO!"
Hey, Luircin, glad to see you've managed to add a few more words to your vocabulary!
That's a great leap forward from your previous milestones of "mama" and "dada" and "No!" and "poopoo" and "binkie".
Keep up the good work! (And don't worry, I promise not to tell your parents you figured out some way to crawl up to the family PC's keyboard & mouse)
This isnt about Cruz.
He has painted himself with the color CHEATER and LIAR and it has stuck. It is permanent, self inflicted, and by this time next week... this will all be over, except for those who want to leave the party.
Thank *YOU*, FourtySeven!
Speaking of firsthand experience out here in CO - as opposed to the gaggle of Know-Less-Than-Nothing Colorado-Haters instantly popping up all over FR the day Team Trump lost Colorado - I drew on years of experience with Caucus-generated Resolutions to finally get around to posting a complete debunking of the "Anti Trump Resolution Circulating Amongst Colorado GOP" myth. It's here on this same thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3420469/posts?q=1&;page=235#234
Every single one of their "smoking gun" proofs of Colorado's dastardliness have backfired on them.
Every one of their Smoking Guns have turned out to be broken water pistols.
They obviously believe in the old saying, "Where there's smoke, there's fire". And while it's a good saying, the Colorado-Hater's problem is they can't distinguish the smoke they're blowing up each others' arses from the real thing.
Here's a quick list off the top of my head as to the status of their list of Blood Libels against we Colorado Republicans:
But it still remains a nasty GOPe conspiracy anyway, because now he's changed his story to one of, "I didn't know about the County Caucus" ... except that - oops! - Patrick Neville, a candidate for US Senate living in Douglas County, clearly remembers calling Larry a few days before the County Caucus to ask for his support, and Mr. Lindsey confirmed that he *DID* plan to attend County Assembly and he *did* plan to vote for Patrick, and Patrick remembered looking all around at County for Larry and being disappointed he didn't keep his promise to show up.
But hey! It *still* remains a GOPe conspiracy because Larry now claims he didn't show up because he was deliberately confused by his Precinct Committeeperson named Jan Morgan who must be a Trump-Hater, except - oops! - that's not the name of his actual PCP, so it must be the name of some other Douglas County GOP person, except - oops! - there's no registered Republican in Douglas County with a name even close to that, but not to worry because Larry merely has to look at the call history on his phone to provide us all with the Contact Info for the evil Jan Morgan, except - oops! - he hasn't yet gotten back to journalists with that info yet because .....
But you have to hand it to that anti-Trump, Spawn of Satan Colorado Republican Party! They are so purely evil that they even yank the credentials of Delegates who've never had credentials.
BZZZT! It wasn't the Colo GOP's Social Media posts, but rather was the MSM's *headlines* - which of course have strict limits on numbers of words - who chose the shorthand word "hacked" - of which just one of its many meanings can be, "account hijacked and completely controlled by another, so that true owner has no access to it".
But in reality, the Colorado GOP never used that word when they deleted the tweet, but instead said in full: “The last tweet was the result of unauthorized access to our account and in no way represents the opinion of the party. We are investigating.”
"Unauthorized Access" is completely consistent with the more likely explanation of: "Juvenile prank by someone standing in the temporary HQ room used by the Colo State GOP, who saw the Communications Director's laptop open and unmanned for a minute and quickly posted that comment to Social Media". But of course the "LIED ABOUT BEING HACKED" does a much better job of supporting "The Narrative," eh?
They are still yet unable to point to one single verifiable claim that "COLORADO CHEATED!!"
They are *still* in the mode of, "Throw All The Mud You Can Find Against The Wall (Colorado Republicans) And See If Anything Sticks".
And guess what?
They have yet to leave one piece of mud sticking to Colorado.
The only mud around is the mud they're wallowing in.
Filthy Cretins.
DON'T MESS WITH COLORADO!!!
Oops! Sorry I earlier missed out on yet another snippet from you that shows your misunderstanding of Colorado's Caucus system. (No, no! No need to thank me).
No party officials run caucuses. Where the heck did you get that? Every one of them is run by a VOLUNTEER living in that neighborhood who is the Precinct Committee Person for that neighborhood.
The only exceptions I've seen are:
I've seen times when a small group of people who were all friends were almost the only ones who showed up, and the leader of that group wanted to lead the meeting and won the vote. In that case, the current PCP (PCP terms are 2 years long, extending from caucus night to caucus night), is morally obligated to help the newbie meeting leader to quickly come up to speed. In fact, our Caucus Meeting packets in my county always include a "Quick Start Guide" specifically for newbie meeting leaders.
This entire process is democratic to its core.
Which is why the establishment have tried repeatedly year after year to replace the caucus with a primary, as it dilutes the High Information Voters - the grassroots activists, with larger numbers of Low Information Voters who only start paying attention to the race a few days before the mail-in ballots are due, and who are much more likely to make their decisions based on who bought the most air time and stuffed the most mailings in their box.
to the rest of the country it is.
Actually, only to the small number of Trump supporters.
fairly or unfairly, the rules are the rules and either Trump didn’t understand or know them (Colorado) or he did and he’s trying to rile up his small base of support.
Either way, Trump is becoming a whiney snowflake. He whined when he lost Utah and Wi and didn’t he threaten to sue over the rules? And didn’t he cry about how we’re supposed to be a democracy?
I thought Hillary would play the victim role in the general but it looks like said whiney snowflake will be giving her a run for her money
Yawn...oh forgive me, were you saying something?
Please, don’t bother posting to me again, your lack of vocabulary combined with your poor manners bore me.
