Presidential candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump has blasted the primary voting policies calling the rigged. Hes right. And now we have evidence to prove it!
There was never even a vote! The delegates met prior to the primaries and passed around a resolution which forbade delegates to vote for Trump for president or vice president because of a list of arbitrary reasons.
Robert Zubrin, who was elected as an alternate delegate, submitted on March 22 to American Thinker that he had written the resolution.
Resolution to Forbid Colorado Delegates from Voting for Donald Trump
Whereas Donald Trump is not a Republican; and
Whereas Donald Trump is a demagogue who is using fear, hate, and lies to assemble a mob in support of an agenda of socialist policy, unlimited government, and strongman rule; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the Western alliance which is the basis of American security; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the system of international trade which is the basis of American prosperity; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the freedom of the press that is the basis of American liberty; and
Whereas Donald Trump would destroy the rule of law which is the basis of American civil society; and
Whereas Donald Trump has mocked those who risked their lives to fight for America when he avoided doing so; and
Whereas Donald Trump has acted as an apologist for Americas enemy Vladimir Putin and other brutal anti-American foreign tyrants; and
Whereas Donald Trump has set himself forth as an open exponent of lust, greed, and other vices antithetical to Judeo-Christian ethics and the moral fiber necessary to sustain a republic; and
Whereas Donald Trump has demonstrated that he has no respect for the truth, and
Whereas Donald Trump has defrauded thousands of ordinary Americans of their life savings; and
Whereas Donald Trump has, in the course of the present campaign, committed acts potential prosecutable as incitement to riot, a federal crime punishable by up to five years in prison; and
Whereas Donald Trump has knowingly acted to degrade the Republican presidential nominating process to a vile level that can only serve to drive people of talent and integrity out of the party and assist in the election of the partys opponents; and
Whereas the nomination of Donald Trump for president would insure a landslide defeat for the Republican Party nationwide in the fall, and deeply damage the Republican Party and the conservative movement for years, and possibly decades to come; and
Whereas a vote for Donald Trump by any member of the Colorado delegation to the Republican National Convention would dishonor and disgrace the Colorado Republican Party;
Therefore, be it resolved that:
The Colorado Republican Party forbids any of its delegates to the Republican National Convention to vote for Donald Trump for president or vice president on the first ballot or any other ballot, and
The Colorado Republican Party asks its delegates to national convention to pledge on their honor to do everything in their power to help secure the presidential nomination for someone other than Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has threatened the Republican Party with mob violence. Lets tell him where to go!
In case you have not noticed people do not like your sides smart ass defense of the disenfranchisement of good peoples votes. Look around, Cruz is running out of money and tanking. Keep up the good work.
Facts no longer matter. Especially not to Trumpanzees flinging poo...
“Yo Momma”
Have I told you the story of a brilliant clasher with the ingenious name of “Your Momma”?

Wonder if that’s at all authentic.
Was I there? No, nor was the other poster. Did I see video of the ten-second speeches? Yes. Did I see delegate-candidates lobbying for votes on the convention floor? Absolutely.
The quip that "only those preselected had a chance" defies reason. If they were preselected, then the choice had already been made. 'Chance' played no role. Of course that wasn't what happened. They passed out ballots, and people voted. Yet Trump supporters here seem to be in agreement that the Trump reps in attendance were too stupid to find out in advance of the vote which numbers matched the delegate-candidates they came to support. And when they were issued a ballot with numbers on it, they were so overcome with confusion, that they ended up voting for Cruz delegates by mistake.
And to top it all off, this is all part of some conspiracy perpetrated by the GOPe (which back in August was told to shove it by these same convention organizers). And the theory behind this conspiracy is that the GOPe knew in advance how stupid Trump voters were, and that they could easily swing the vote for Cruz by putting numbers on the ballot because Trump voters would be too stupid to know what to do.
..any one know how many Coloradans are on some sort of government assistance?...part of the status quo.......<<<<
I do! I know this...if it wasn’t for government money, the entire state would go bankrupt. From food stamps, to rental assistance, Social Security, Tanf, Medicaid, Medicare, Military bases, road funding, school funding, college PELL grants and student loans, Federal and State prisons, public grade schools, highschools, special assistance schools, alternative schools and only God knows what I might not have listed, the entire state would crumple without those federal dollars.
The Hippie areas weren’t as bad as when the state got inundated with California transplants..and I don’t mean to insult California people, but it was a huge influx that had a major impact on the atmosphere of the entire state.
Most of the hippies were very anti establishment, pro gun, pro freedom, pro prepping, and yes, some were liberal democrats..still are...
They wanted freedom, fought for it, even lost their land over it.
I watched the politicians try and drive the hippies out. They didn’t even realize the amounts of money those offspring of wealthy New Yorkers brought into the communities.
I was there. I saw, I heard, I grew up with it. The hippies just wanted to be left alone. It was the politicians who opened the pandora’s box, and then we watched the same corrupt officials relocate voter precincts in order to bust up elections.
Ya...don’t blame the hippies. The corruption was there before they arrived, and it still exists. You’d better have the ‘’right name’’ in that state if you want to get things done.
write when you get work....
Trump won’t take your welfare check or false teeth away.
Two times earlier this week, Cruz was pleading for $35 donations to get a Deputy Delegate Card. Today is a $5 Friday. To support Ted, Heidi, and the girls, everybody should donate $5 today.
These email solicitations have gone way past annoying. It's hard to believe his supporters condone this stuff.
Exactly!
Unfortunately, the U.S. electorate is not only hopelessly uninformed and/or ignorant, but bordering on insane.
Note that I did NOT say "citizens."
I thought that was your job.
Yep, I figured Trump for a spoiler for the Clintons a while back.
Hey, I’ve got a great idea. How about letting COLORADO Republicans decide how they want to elect their delegates? Just like every other state decides how they are going to select their delegates.
What we Coloradans want is a system where any registered republican can run for and be voted in to represent their precinct at the state convention. All they have to do is show up at the caucus, and get the votes from their neighbors. It is NOT about party insiders. It is mom and pop republicans deciding for themselves who represents them and the local precinct at the state convention.
AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS NOT A COLORADO REGISTERED REPUBLICAN CAN BUGGER OFF.
Who is playing dumb? The Colorado system is designed to allow the rank and file, mom and pop republicans the ability to win their precinct and go to the state convention.
Is that dumb or communist?
Oh, that’s rich.
A nominee gets to the Colorado state convention, where they get 10 SECONDS (after multiple rounds of increasingly difficult hurdles in prior stages) to make their case why they should be a delegate.
Tell me you seriously do not believe that this process is designed to select the “grassroots” delegates.
It’s OBVIOUSLY designed to select those with political connections in the good ole’ boys club. (Yep, I see Bob is running..he’s my choice. He’s in the club).
Are you SERIOUSLY not getting this?
You seem to disagree. This is your opportunity to show another system in the 50 states where a local republican can be elected to either precinct captain or to the state convention?
Uh....is this another one of those ‘fake but accurate’ thingys? Looks like. Where’s Dan when you need him?
The person who is seriously not getting this is you.
Colorado selects their delegates how Colorado Republicans want and HAVE since at least 2004. This system was built to allow ANY Republican the chance to not only show up at the caucus and vote for who will represent them, but allow any Republican the chance to be one of the 37 representatives at the National convention.
The fact is, hundreds of thousands (millions?) of Colorado GOP voters were disenfranchised from expressing their Presidential preference, and from a fair allocation of delegates based on the mood of the voters.
Take your elitist attitude and shove it. You're acting as an apologist for a rigged system.
I'm absolutely positive that the GOP voters of Colorado would prefer a fair system of allocating delegates to the travesty which just occurred.
The Colorado GOP is headed for some changes, methinks.
So you bugger off, elitist!
Your GOPe scammers got away wit their theft this time, by giving Cruz the delegates which had been preordained for Jeb, but there's no argument that the state's delegate allocation reflects the preference of the GOP voting public of the state.
It was rigged, and you're cheering for it because your slimy candidate gets the delegates. Cruz is GOPe all the way, and his Colorado delgates w ill be more thanm offset by the delegates he loses in other states.
It's a blessing in disguise for Donald Trump.
Cruz is done.
Cruz is going to be third place behind even Kasich in many Northeastern states, and that is truly pathetic.
So take your pathetic candidate and his pathetic delegate count and his pathetic Colorado delegates to your pathetic GOPe convention, and eat your heart out as Donald Trump arrives with the delgates needed to secure the nomination from the GOPe and their unprincipled ilk.
Tuesday night will be sweet, as will the Tuesday after that.
Ted Cruz will be mathematically eliminated from the GOP nomination in less than 100 hours, and good riddance. He has been practically eliminated for a while already; Cruzbots just can't read the writing on the wall yet.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth...
