Presidential candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump has blasted the primary voting policies calling the rigged. He’s 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 America’s 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 party’s 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. Let’s tell him where to go!
And the lies continue. This piece of paper proves no such thing.
That rigged Colorado outcome has really hurt Cruz.
His poll numbers are dropping like a rock.
LOL!
anybody can write anything.
This was NOT AMONG THE 49 RESOLUTIONS WE VOTED ON!
I’m shocked!, Shocked!!, Shocked!!! I tell ya!!!
The GOPe had to find a new fall-boy after Jeb Bush blew it.
Pretty much the truth. I just think that Trump is our best shot at not having Hillary nor Bernie at the helm as it progresses.
The Piece of paper matches the Brag they “did it.” This is just one of the reasons Cruz the NeverTrump place holder is tanking.
Bttt
Bttt
.
Trump is the best shot at putting Hillary into office.

Well, we disagree.
FReegards
Perhaps you should carefully review how the Colorado Republicans have set up the delegate process.
Did you know that ANY registered Republican can submit their name to their precinct to be voted as either the primary or alternate delegate to the state convention?
Did you know that the precinct delegate is voted on by their neighbors in their precinct and that the majority of the precinct approves the delegate and alternative?
Did you know that at the state convention, any delegate to the state convention can run for one of the delegate positions?
You will not find a more grass roots based GOP state party. It is run from the grass roots.
The Resolution was confirmed by protestors who were there to see it acted out on delegates in person. Then it was Confirmed with the brag “we did it.”
That is not an official Party group. Here in AZ, the party does resolutions all the time. THe Republican Party in AZ has passed resolutions against John McCain. The last one was, “ANYONE BUT MCCAIN.”
Does that mean our voting system is rigged?
Trump never threatened anyone with mob violence...another bit of Trump speak taken out of context and blown beyond recognition. Colorado was once a bastion of freedom and patriotism until the hippies took over in the sixties and seventies....that is just part of their problem...any one know how many Coloradans are on some sort of government assistance?...part of the status quo.......
Reality is Trump pulls from more then anybody else and what you claim (incorrectly) are liabilities are assets in the general.

Heading for the cliff?

You just might be right.
