Colorado GOP delegates won't campaign for Trump
WND ^ | 07/25/2016 | Art Moore

Posted on 07/25/2016 3:35:16 PM PDT by detective

Jim Gilbreath and his fellow Colorado delegates came to the Republican National Convention “praying for a miracle,” hoping the rules might go their way and allow for a “white knight” candidate to take the place of Donald Trump.

As he headed home to Colorado Springs on Saturday afternoon at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, he told WND that while his party has confirmed Trump as the nominee, he and many others in his delegation are not on board.

“I can tell you that from the Colorado contingent, there will be quite a few people who will not be out helping Trump,” said Gilbreath, who describes himself as a pro-life, pro-religious liberty and pro-Constitution activist.

“The activists are the social conservatives, and they are the ones that are embarrassed to put the (Trump) bumper stickers on their car. How do you win? You can’t.”

In Colorado, Virginia and other swing states, he said, “you’ve gotta have people out there doing the work.”

Their position is lose, lose. If Hillary wins they will be blamed and if Trump wins they will be punished.

Well, Gilbreath I can tell you that I will be vacationing in Colorado in coming years as in the past. However, I won’t be spending a single nickel ever again while I’m there.

I will admit, I’m concerned about CO. You want every state. But as of now, with FL, OH, PA, IA, NC, and NV we would win without CO and VA.

FWIW, I will be sending in my absentee ballot to CO for Trump/Pence.

Why would people put bumper stickers on their cars? Do they really care what the doofus behind them thinks? Do they think some bumper sticker is going to change anyone's mind?

What a moron.

The GOP party hacks used the term, “Conservative” into the new GOP buzz word in an effort to undermine Trump. No one bought that weak BS.

“The Colorado ‘Republican’ Party has always been mediocre.

The fact that these crybabies want Hildabeast as president changes nothing.”

That may be true but they showed solidarity in matching black cowboy shirts. A little bit gay of them, but maybe they have coordinated black chaps as well. There are clubs that cater to that.

In fact, where were these GOP “Conservatives” for the past 25 years?

For decades I haven’t seen anything “conservative” coming out of D.C from these so called con-servatives.

Conservative, the new GOP buzz word.

Trump won Virginia, and plenty of workers are there for Trump. Also guys like Corey Stewart are running for Governor.

“Maybe God answered their prayer and they aren’t listening.”

He did. These are latter day sons of Korah.

Hey, I’m just the messenger. I thought it was pretty stupid of some evangelicals to risk a second Obama term because they didn’t like Mormons.

I appreciated your joke.

When I said, “To be one,” I meant Jim Gilbreath.

I’ve never been swayed to vote one way or the other by a bumper sticker, some idiot knocking on my door disturbing my serenity, a tv or radio ad or newspaper ad, or a relative or co-worker.

This guy is one of the elites who believe a small group of crooks should elect the president. I don’t care what he says or thinks.

Acts 5: 38 - 39

(38) “And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone: for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing. (39) but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it - lest you even be found to fight against God.”

“Until very recently Trump appeared to be a pro-abort. That will lose him some religious conservatives and we just have to face that fact.”

And Hillary is as gleefully pro-abort as Governor Willard Romney.

Dude is stupid.

And... you just can’t fix stupid.
