PING
not unless you drop all the other caucus delegates too
how would that work out?
I would HATE to be your enemy. You are relentless. :)
Glad we’re voting for the same guy.
though I can’t bring myself to hate cruz.
I guess cause I liked him so much once.
Holy cow! Patriotic Americans are voting for the voters! Great job!
Good Lord, NO!
Corrupt as hell and the proof is that Trump got zero Colorado delegates. Trump would have lost to Cruz in a real honest Colorado primary but would have gotten at least 35% of the vote.
Exclusion??! No way.
Hang them.
No. Trump and his people needs to learn to follow directions. This isn’t about him
I am the 2%.
Yes (985 votes) 98%
98%
No (24 votes) 2%
Currently living in CO, but since the delegates no-longer represent my choices, I have to agree. Yes, exclude them.
Citizens are free to associate with whomever they want, and those associations have protections as well under the Constitution.
My understanding is that everything that happened in Colorado was legal. It may not have been considered ethical by some, but no laws were broken.
I used to live in Colorado. The state party, like the national party, is split between GOPe and conservative stalwarts. Even though there are probably more conservative stalwarts voting in the state, the majority of party members willing to attend boring meetings, hand out fliers, run registration drives, etc. tend to be GOPe or just go-along-to-get-along types.
So conservatives and independent thinking Republicans in Colorado are use to being screwed over by the party apparatchik.
Caucuses have the advantage that they are financed by the party and can be run as the party desires. If the majority of Coloradans wanted all delegates to be committed then they should have been more actively engaged with the party bureaucracy.
If Colorado moves to a primary, then it will most likely be financed by the state. Then it will over time end up being an open primary. That might be OK for Trump in this election, but it would not be a good thing for the GOP in the long run.
So basically party members can get screwed two different ways: by caucuses with unpopular rules or primaries swamped by non-party members.
The only solution is for conservatives to take a deep breath, swallow hard, and start being more active in GOP fundraisers, registration drives, committee meetings, etc.
Much of the world is run by people who love going to meetings.
They don’t matter
Trump will win without them
Is there a whinier bunch of sore losers than Trump fans?
“I would HATE to be your enemy. You are relentless. :)”
Well, I’d go into battle with you!
If they can display where CO broke National or CO GOP regulations then they can contest the seating of the CO delegation at the convention. There might be tit for tat though.
Yes and the Iowa delegates too, after all Ted retweeted a CNN tweet there so there’s that too. And heck how about the Louisiana one where Ted outworked Trump yet again. And how about the Alaska delegates cause it was too far for Trump to go. And for that matter how Texas was unfair because Cruz is from there. And Wisconsin since Scott Walker. And Utah particularly because of Mitt. And and and any delegate not for Trump shouldn’t seated.
WOW — The Trumpster community is really getting desperate.
The nearer they are to their destination, the more they see it SLIP-SLIDING AWAY.
Wow! Talk about losing the battle to win the war. This Colorado drama is playing out perfectly right after the New York Values comment. Any momentum from the small potatoes Wisconsin win was halted dead in its tracks.
Lol.. Lying Ted is such a schmuck and can’t get out of his own way.
Yup!
[In Trump’s voice] Get ‘Em Outa Here!
Confiscate their coats!
