Trump, and you apparently, have no clue how a caucus system works.
Get invloved. Learn. Don’t be stupid...
Trump is winning elections, then getting ROBBED.
This is not right. Not at all.
“Trump is winning elections, then getting ROBBED.

Don’t panic. Everything is lovely.
Trump is ... The CheckerMaster!
As I understand it, Colorado does not have a Republican primary. So there was no “winner” for the state. (So no delegates “to steal”. The nominee is chosen during the state convention. Probably similar to what a contested national convention would look like. With supporters of the various candidates debating, arguing, and persuading the delegates to pledge their support for a certain candidate.
I believe that is a little more similar to the way the nominees were chosen in the early days of our nation. State primaries only came about in the early 1900’s.
My state (Washington State) has both a Republican caucus, a Convention, AND a primary. I was at our district caucus and more than 95% of the delegates elected said they would vote for Cruz if they had the chance. However, if Trump is voted the winner in the primary, then the delegates have to vote for him on the first ballot. But if there is a second ballot, they can vote for whoever they want to.
Trump is no dummy and I truly wonder if he has a plan that will take Cruz and others by surprise.
“Yeah, following the rules is cheating”
Using Party Hack Delegates to subvert the will of the voters is SLEAZY...But we expect that of Cruz.
:)
Presidential politics involves multiple skill sets. So does the presidency. Ted Cruz is proving adept and adaptable. Trump, not so much.
Great graphic.
Well said. You have to know the rules of the game your are playing.
Is that what Twitter looks like ??
:)
Trump AND Manafort WILL be holding delegate gain VERY CLOSE to the vest!!! Trump has ALWAYS said you NEVER tell the enemy your strategy, he and Manafort are going to bitch slap Cruz and he won’t EVEN KNOW what hit him!!!! Cruz WILL receive the KARMA he so deserves!!! I trust Manafort completely, I trust Trump to give him WHATEVER he NEEDS to WIN these delegates !!! If these delegates are supposedly bound to Cruz who in the hell can say they STAY there !!! Trumps delegates are supposedly bound to Trump yet Cruz is out there trying to take them SO why NOT the reverse, why does Cruz THINK for a minute his delegates are so bound and firm with him???
Trump Supporters Attempt To Send Clear Message To RNC – There’s Just One TINY Problem…

I think it shows that Cruz is more prepared to run for president. He seems more prepared.
what’s this rule that you talk about? Win election but then have delegates taken away via backhanded channels. This violates the spirit of an election and the will of the people
Trump supporters wanted a candidate with no political experience. Essentially they want to hire the most inexperienced person they can find for the most important job of all time. Cruz is working the system cause he knows how it works, just like Trump worked the bankruptcy laws. Trump supporters are getting what they want, what’s the problem?
