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

Trump constantly whining about how game is played. He should just take his ball and go home.
I still believe trump should rent a stadium in Colorado and drop by for a couple hours - it would be a powerful statement to those delegates of what the people really want them to do
It’s an indicator of failed leadership when one makes excuses and when one whines.
Notice how Priebus used the pronoun “us” as in “give us a break”. That’s also revealing that the cabal has circled the wagons.
Although they think they own the GOP, they don’t realize they are not permanent and they don’t make the decisions when they ask the public to participate on their behalf. When they involve the public, they in fact, offer to share in the winnings.
If they ask the public to help them win and they don’t share, it’s simple logic to expect a backlash. That they don’t get that fact reveals they are very stupid people who think their deceit will go unnoticed.
Trump knows he is not going to reach the required number of delegates so he is playing to make it harder for Republicans to depend on a brokered convention. At this point if Trump is denied the nomination, it will be viewed as cheating.
Trump is running for the nomination of the Republican party. His percentage of delegates is substantially larger than the percentage of votes he won. And if he's the nominee, part of his job is helping down ticket candidates.
Blasting the entire Republican party as crooked is going to damage other Republican candidates in the general election. Not only is that extraordinarily bad for him personally if he wins the nomination, but it will cause a lot of damage even if he doesn't.
He still hasn't learned that a scorched-earth primary campaign is ultimately counter-productive. Even if you win, you will have alienated so many people that you will have screwed yourself for the general election. He just doesn't seem to understand that making more moderate statements and appearing more Presidential will actually win him more votes. This constant complaining and slamming of the party itself is making his own nomination less likely.
Either he's too dumb to see that or he simply can't control his own mouth.

Remove the ‘#’, I had to put them so you could see the html script.
This is a Federal Election. The delegate rules should be uniform throughout the states.
You have to pay off delegates to support your candidate.....
I’d like to give all the GOPe, Globalist piggies necks a Break when they swing from a rope.
The Stamp Act and Dred Scott were “rules” too.
Go try to win by this, and see that smirk wiped of your face in November.
Thank you!
Priebus deflecting from the point even though it appears his deflection is also a lie. Who cares how old the freaking rule is if the rule stinks and actually allows the GOP to usurp the will and votes of the people? Priebus and his gangster buddies are definitely part of the problem.
Trump is right: “great anger”.
One reason Trump is here is to expose the corruption of the establishment. That is why they would prefer anyone including Cruz over Trump.
God bless Trump. I do hope at some point Trump and Cruz kiss and make up, but I hope Trump blasts the establishment to smithereens.
If what Colorado did was OK, playing by the rules, whatever, than all states should do the same.
That’s not the way it’s ever been before.
The states get to decide how they select their candidate.
The states are losing more and more control to the feds. We need to go back to states having more power.
Trump is the ultimate crybaby. Waaaah, I lost so I must have been cheated. So unfair, I only had months upon months to learn the rules and put together an decent organization in Colorado. Waaaaaaaaah, no fair mentioning that I didn’t even bother going to Colorado - that is like cheating me a second time. Booo hooo.
The GOP deserve to lose their seats they have done NOTHING to move our issues forward, give us the house and the senate and we will get rid of OBAMMIECARE ...... We have been BEGGING them to defund ANYTHING these BASTARDS can’t even DEFUND sanctuary cities or PP for Gods sake!!! GIVE ME A BREAK about Trump not building up the party they are USELESS corrupt BASTARDS!!!
Thanks for posting that. I was camping all last week on the Oregon coast and away from all news. Your post helped me catch up.
