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!
You did it alright. You fools.
Did you ever hear the song ‘dreamin’? You wrote the book.
What it has done, this whole idiotic process in CO, is attach the label of CHEATER to Teddy, and he’s not going to live it down.
Those trying to deflect it and pointing at Trump, are only adding fuel to the fire - I say, keep talking, it flies in the face of what every mature adult learns in life - no blame, no explain.
Who is acting like communists?
The Republican rank and file that were motivated enough to show up to the caucus and vote for who they wanted to be delegates to the state convention?
Dale Jr is leading the last lap at Daytona with such a lead that even running out of gas will ensure a victory. Danica Patrick is a distant second and the crowd is on their feet cheering for Junior. As Junior comes to lap Ricky Stenhouse during the final stretch, Stenhouse slams his car into Junior and takes him out of the race. Danica coasts to an easy win.
So what rule was broken?
It is hard to put it on a calendar, since the visibility of the moon is a touchy thing.
That is what Yeshua was speaking of when he said “No man knoweth the day nor the hour...”
Michael Rood blew it this year when he rushed his calendar into print using NASA’s data. NASA was wrong.
He had to email out a corrected calendar to half of the world.
Oops!

Probably from some of these people setting up this crooked crap smoking your new state flower residue weed.
Actually your emotional hatred of Trump blinds you to what has happened
since Cruz won the rigged outcome in Colorado.
By April 26, Cruz will be eliminated.
.
I don’t write books, I read them.
You should too!
.
Trump really has a way of painting his opponents. Lo-energy Jeb, Little Marco, now Lying Ted.
Yeah its great, they are really angering people who believe in fairness, justice and the American way.
The rule or legitimate representation in a Republic.
I see. The poll that shows Cruz beating Hillary. Good poll.
The poll that shows Cruz dropping. Bad poll.
I thought it might start this June, which would make 49 years since recapturing Jerusalem.
Who are you trying to impress? Yikes.....
What a bunch of crap.
I have a great idea. Why not let the GOP voters of Colorado vote in a Presidential primary to express their preference, and then, after that, count the votes and allocate delegates between the candidates according to some reasonable, agreed upon rules?
I can't believe that Cruzbots are acting as apologists for the disenfranchisement of every Colorado GOP member in the state who doesn't happen to prefer Ted Cruz.
If they wanted to make it winner take all or something like that, then fine. It looks to me as if the GOP voters in Colorado have been shortchanged.
Don't pretend for even a moment that the process in Colorado is anything other than party insiders engineering a slate of delegates for a specific candidate, in direct disregard for the popular will of GOP voters in the state.
I'm absolutely sure the GOP voters in Colorado would much rather express their Presidential preference in a primary and have the delegates allocated fairly, instead of the obvious inside job that occurred.
Cruzbots can bleat about "they played by the rules" all they want, but they can also bear the brunt of the perception which that generates, and, I can tell you, the optics are not good for the Ted Cruz campaign.
This is nothing short of a full embrace of the GOPe and their "#NeverTrump" strategy, which was exhibited via a tweet from the party-affiliated account right after the thievery was accomplished.
So it was procedural, legalized thievery which occurred, using the "rules" which the GOP(e) leadership put in place. Great!
Cruzbots can embrace those optics if they like, and they can also embrace the ultimate defeat that it will bring to the Cruz campaign.
Ted Cruz is falling in the polls, both nationally and state-by-state.
At one point, Ted Cruz could have preserved his anti-Establishment credentials and had a legitimate chance to be VP, and then take over from Trump in a term or two. He has now burned that bridge.
So I guess it's going to be scorched earth by the GOPe: an all-out effort, full of slanted propaganda and questionable delegate allocation tactics. None of it will avail to derail a front-runner who is being actively sabotaged by a corrupt party elite that is terrified of losing their spot at the feeding trough. I have news for them: they've already lost. It just hasn't sunk in yet.
And Ted Cruz has cast his lot with the scummy, corrupt Establishment, because he hasn't been able to win over anti-GOPe voters fair and square. Ted Cruz has shown his true colors, and so have his supporters. Morality and fairness don't matter. So be it.
You Cruz-Tories enjoy your petty fun while it lasts. You've helped awaken a sleeping giant, and by joining with the GOPe in the demonization of a perfectly decent, red-blooded American, you've betrayed a reform-minded movement who initially wanted Ted Cruz to be part of a constructive, Revolutionary wave.
Once Donald Trump WINS the GOPe nomination, we'll see just exactly how deep your irrational hatred runs...
Gee talking about whiners,pot kettle....
The written rule requiring the name of the delegate and who the delegate supported. Instead the GOPe/Cruz prepared an illegal ballot with only a delegates NUMBER!!~ You can’t make this up. When the Trump people tried to vote for Trump delegates, they couldn’t identify them!! NUMBER?? Are you kidding Me. This was outrageous and VIOLATED THE RULES. I knew there had to be some cheating chiseling reason that lyin Cruz got EVERY DELEGATE>. This WAS RIGGED!! No seating for this entire delegation!!
I hear twilight zone music when you post idiotic stuff like that.
Don’t play dumb.
