Cruz lost the primary vote and is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe)
in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to the winner.
Cruz is a sore loser turned traitor against the grassroots voters.
And the foolish neophyte thinks the GOPe is going to let him
have a shot at the presidency if he helps them block Trump?
Laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

Sorry....these people are PISSED off.
Many are VietNam vets and the CO has lied to them and made sure they weren’t even on the voting list if they said they were Trump.
Cruz in no way won fair and square.
A 28 year old talking now. Many have voted all their lives and this year they can’t even vote in a primary. They are tired of the GOP and the Republican Party.
Big crowd..
They are saying they need to spread this message across the state and across the Nation.
One man is fighting Cancer and became a part of the caucus for the first time and when he showed up at state his name wasn’t on the list.
One man said no one in his district was a Cruz supporter. When he arrived at state he tried to vote and a woman told him she had already taken care of it. She said she put in all Cruz supporters. He asked why since they had no Cruz supporters in his district. Her reply was that all the people she appointed were her friends and they just happened to be Cruz supporters.
The stories go on. The crowd is mad I tell you.
Thanks for the update! Stories are horrible and they have every right to be pissed!! They’re luck that Yosemite Sam isn’t there ;-)
Where is the national news?
All of this needs to be on you tube. So it can be more easily shared
Maybe Senior Cruz will meet with the grassroots protesters in Colorado, and explain what it was they did wrong in trying to cast their votes? One person - one vote.
Haven’t seen anything yet in my few searches. I was responding to NIKK’s post #382
The people at the protest in CO are looking into a Civil Suit. All have paid $85.00 and not one got to be a delegate or a vote. They were told on the phone NO TRUMP!
Talking about changing the rules NOW! They are saying they are changing the Rules NOW! Its up to the people.
Asking what they fought for. Afgan. Vet. talking now.
Talking about posting on social media. Keep posting over and over.
WOW....they took their money and then refused to allow any of them to be a delegate? Isn’t that FRAUD ?
They are saying they are sure they have a case. It isn’t over folks. Using Donald’s favorite “folks” saying.
People are of all ages talking. One woman is from Michigan. Just moved last year to CO She has always voted. This is the first time in her life she was denied.
Another Vietnam Vet. saying they need to get a lawyer and he just gave his web site.
Some want to form another Party.
They said it isn’t American when a private Party like the CO Republican is voting who they want and not who the people want. He points out that the constitution starts out with : WE THE PEOPLE
Forgot the IMPORTANT message:
THANKS TO DONALD TRUMP “We the people” are seeing for the first time we never had a say in an election. Elections have always been a lie and the Republican Party has put in their man.
Guys:
Get your popped corn and booze ready because I think Cleveland will be a HISTORICAL EVENT in our political system. Trump just might have his “We The People” delegate votes outside making the New Rule.
I remember some time last when Zelda to some convention were challenged at the door Perhaps with a law suit they could challenge the delegates.
At one time, the north end of Hartford was Jewish majority, and if I am not mistaken, Sophie Tucker was a famous jazz singer.
Hi, zzeeman! :-)
Where’s the photo from?
I am not aware of Jews in the North End. Jews started moving into the town of West Hartford probably back in the 30s. It was unrestricted. Some areas are still called the reservation.
It has black in the north end for at least 80 years.
Do we know the venue/crowd size in Hartford?
Thanks for the updates NIKK! Very much appreciated!
Go Colorado!!
I grew up (as much as I will do so) in Colorado. If I still lived there, I’d be right down there with them. My dad was a lifer in the AF, step-dad in Marines and uncle in the Pacific in WWII, another uncle fought in WWII and one in the Korean War. Great Uncle died in WWI in fight. What the hell did they and all of our men and women (including many of you and/or your relatives) fight for? Among many other things it was our freedom to elective the President and other office holders to our Republic in a fair and democratic process. These a-holes really have me pissed off royally!
