My mom, an activist for the GOP for years, has expressed to me several times “our vote doesn’t count so why vote?”. She is fed up and will write in who she pleases. Same here.

The GOPE is helping Cruz steal delegates all over the place, GA, VA, WV, IN, wherever they can.
They are experts at rigging the nomination, they’ve been doing it for years.

As long as the main stream media continues to lie about how Colorado delegates are selected, they yes, they will continue to damage the Cruz effort.

But as many who have actually researched the facts have found out, Colorado’s system is VERY grass roots oriented and is a republican representative of government that closely mirrors the manner in which Congressional representatives are selected and represent their precincts.

Interesting pattern.

Big Mouth blows a gasket over the "rigged" and " corrupt" and "fixed" "GOPestablishment" caucus states, like Colorado, Wyoming, West Virginia. Naturally where Big Mouth LOST.

Big Mouth them proclaims with YUUUUGE glee his wins in caucus states such as Nevada. Kentucky, Hawaii.

Ted Cruz is an honorable competitor and it would appear whether winner or loser in a caucus state he has neither bitched nor pissed nor complained and abided by the results, even congratulated Trump publicly like a good loser.

Is it not true to note that Trump, as a typical narcissist, hates to lose and cannot countenance personal embarrassment of any sort, so he complains post facto about processes only when he loses?

Can any objective observer note some intrinsic difference in these 3 vs 3 states and their caucus dynamics? Trump has leveled the charge. It is up to him or his supporters to back it up and come forward with the specific complaints and proof.

Otherwise man up. Zip it. Shut the piehole. Haga Silencio.

You are mistaken.
ALL THE LIES have been from Cruz, his PACS,
and his bimbos from the Gang of Eight(een).

Cruz needs to be with hookers dressed as rats,
protected by blackmail-paid FiorRINO,
and funded in jets by Goldman Sacs and the UN,
as his entitled Wife (entitled by HIS WHORING, like Clinton)
continues her medicated dreams
about her future coPresidency.

Hey, FRiend,
Cruz is STEALING from the People.
FROM THE PEOPLE.

This has nothing to do with Trump.

That said. Have a good day.

As i’ve said previously , Colorado was Cruz’s Waterloo ...Cruz isn’t even smart enough to be humble about his ill gotten gains, he flaunts it ... being this inept at recognizing what voters are feeling ,Cruz would get destroyed in a general election

Interesting. The same philosophy the GOPe has with those pesky voters; shut up.

Trump said geller caused the violence at garland Texas.


When I read what Trump said, it sounded to me that he was simply being critical of Geller for hosting that event, without being a politician by adding a caveat such as - of course that doesn’t mean she is to blame for what happened.

Of course, that’s typical for Trump, but as he never explicitly said that he blamed her for the attack - just criticized her for holding the draw Muhammed event (which I’d disagree with him on that), given his track record with other loose lip statements, I’m sure the charge that he blamed Geller for the attack would never stick.

I have never seen such a political disaster — EVER. He lost 28% of his following in 1 week!!

and that was the week after his Wisconsin win...when Cruz was surging.

Cruz did not say [Trump was responsible for the violence] in Chicago

Of course he did. He just did it in a lawyer-esque way, giving a brief sentence of lip service against the criminal Left wing thugs who forced the cancellation of a GOP rally, and then proceeding to smear Donald Trump.

Don't forget, it was in this statement that Ted Cruz falsely accused Trump of "attacking reporters", piling on with the GOPe smear relating to the Michelle Fields hoax.

Of course, we all know how that turned out: no assault charge, and widespread consensus that the whole incident was a hoax, and a setup to smear Donald Trump.

And Ted Cruz fell right in line with the GOPe, jumping on the Trump-hating bandwagon, and being exposing himself as a liar and naked opportunist once again.

Ted Cruz has lost. He will have been mathematically eliminated after the next Tuesday or two. Ted Cruz's only hope is to get the nomination at a contested GOP convention, which would hopelessly splinter the party, and guarantee a GOP defeat in November.

Simply put, that's not going to happen.

That tweet the Colorado GOP sent out just shows how brain dead their mindset is - they didn’t realize how much we’d disagree with what they did. They’re no different than the rats.
