Because that is the way the GOP wrote the rules. They published them over, what, 8 months ago? If the Republicans in Colorado don;t like it, they should change the leadership who wrote the rules, and change them. Also, Trump (and his supporters) claiming that the delegates were “stolen” is a sophomoric argument, at best. Trump’s campaign should have know the rules and had a presence in Colorado, like Cruz did, to win over delegates. personally, I don’t think it was an oversight. I think the Trump campaign thought they would have everything wrapped up by now. Once they realized they wouldn’t, they decided (despite what they say) that a contested convention was the best out come. Either Trump wins the vote at the convention, or he loses and gets to claim victim status, raising his brand name for further business (financial as well as political) in 2017 and beyond.
The elite have just taken the voice of the people away and chosen for them. They have just told all those people their votes do not matter and it is as rigged as they had begun to think.....and I do not support Trump.
This was a stupid dangerous move with Americans already starting to feel their elections are bogus. This states GOP has done an incredible amount of damage to this election.....This is how emotions go out of control and people feel that elections do not work and if elections do not work then there is only one option left for those who have had enough.
This was a stupid and dangerous power play this election cycle. I have never seen such a stupid election cycle from all players.
