If Trump ballot decision stands, Colorado GOP says it will move from primary to caucus system
Fox News ^ | December 20, 2023 | Timothy H.J. Nerozzi

The Colorado Republican Party is planning to withdraw from the state's primary election and move to a caucus system if the ruling against former President Donald Trump stands.

A state GOP spokesperson made the remark on social media following a video posted by GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, in which he pledged to withdraw if the Colorado Supreme Court's Tuesday disqualification of Trump is sustained.

...

The Colorado Republican Party replied to the candidate's video, assuring him, "You won't have to because we will withdraw from the Primary as a Party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand."

Watch for the fed to mobilize the millions of military aged foreigners that they have imported and registered. That will be the tell that the war is about to start.

From pages 8-9....

"But for our resolution of the Electors’ challenge under the Election Code,the Secretary would be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot.

Therefore, to maintain the status quo pending any review by the U.S. Supreme Court, we stay our ruling until January 4, 2024 (the day before the Secretary’s deadline to certify the content of the presidential primary ballot). If review is sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires on January 4, 2024, then the stay shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court."

Their "ruling" was just to GRAB A HEADLINE....nothing more! They STAYED their own ruling until January 4th, the day before the deadline, then INDEFINATELY thereafter. Trump will STILL BE ON THE BALLOT for the primary.

As it becomes apparent that primary elections are also rigged in many places, (how John McCain “won” primaries in AZ despite infuriating his base), more state parties should be moving away from primaries to a caucus system. Anyone who doesn’t like it should form his/her own political party.

The Colorado Republican party is a private organization. How can the state of Colorado tell them who they can have on their ballot?

I had dinner with McCain twice. He was mentally off but at the time his wife was smoking hot.

They should anyway. Open primaries are stupid. If the point of a primary is to pick the candidate to represent a political party in the next election, then the candidate should be picked by the ACTIVE MEMBERS of the party in a CLOSED PARTY-MEMBERS-ONLY process — not by a bunch of random schmucks who just happened to feel like putting down their beers, turning off their TVs, and leaving their trailer parks to go vote on election day.

If an American government gives you a gun like one of these pictured here give it to your cartel collector and we’ll cancel your debt and pay you $200.

Open primaries are stupid.

Absolutely. In 2004, I voted in the democrat presidential primary ... for Al Sharpton. Now, I honestly believed that he best represented the democrat party platform and governing philosophy. So in one sense, I was using the primary system correctly.

But, as a life-long and registered at the time REPUBLICAN, I should not have been allowed to do that.

A little strategy would be noce by the Trump team. I think what they did is rule that the President is not immune not necessarily that he is guilty of anything. Isn’t it possible on that narrow question Scotus concurs? I think it would be wise to get a broader question before the courts. Don’t take this to SCOTUS because they always look for a narrow decision and this gives them an easy way to say they haven’t ruled on the totality of the 14th but it will be enough to keep Trump off ballots until something more specific works it’s way through. I think the initial ruling purposely used the immunity argument because of how narrow that would make the appeal question.

Was discussed that the hoops for the majority opinion to jump through were enormous and if any one of their (almost dozen) points gets shattered, their entire decision falls flat.

I don’t think that would
be possible. If these
invaders had any fight in
them, they would have
fought against their own
injustices in their
respective countries.
They have no sense of
loyalty, and instead run
away from any conflict.
