Colorado Trump Delegate Removed And Replaced
Posted on 04/11/2016 1:45:29 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
True, Trump is not as good at dirty politics, and it is what it is. As someone said, if you play by other people’s rules, you will lose, and it is the Trump case. So, while a third party would be catastrophic, Trump really has a case formplaying by his own rules.
Somehow dirty politics and lawyer sheister maneuvering by Cruz seem to earn him points amongst his supporters who instead of switching to disillusion in Cruz went rabib blind for him. I mean, the only reason they call Teump a whiner is because they are nit whining themselves seeing Trump choose a third party ticket.
Is it the stupid war we wanted to avoid now being brought by fanatic desillusioned conservatives? It seems so.
Last but not least, what good is all this electioneering and electability rhetoric if the GOPe just uses the votes to gauge like Mao the mood of the people only to place over them then judges who will destroy them and punish them in the future? It seems democracy has been turned on its head.
I might add to this that I’m slowly becoming convinced that maybe Donald doesn’t want to win. BIG maybe, but you’d think he’d have more of an organization on his team than he appears to have.
Check post 20 for a GOOD answer.
If the person organizing Trump’s voter registration process (Ivanka) was not knowledgeable enough to make sure that she and her mouth breather brother got registered to vote on time, how do they expect to understand and navigate the delegate maze?
“TEDWORK ORANGE”
That explains it all. He’s on milk plus vellocet or synthemesc. Heidi too if her underpass hijinks are any indication.
The system in CO is designed to favor the establishment, plain & simple.
++++
Correct. And that would be Jeb Bush. Unfortunately (for the GOPe) Jeb Bush is nowhere to be seen and the only GOPe candidate left standing is the hopeless Kasich.
Cruz didn’t make the rules but at at least he read them. And he acted on them. For this Trump thinks he should be blamed and punished. I don’t think so.
Actually the Trump Team probably read them as well. Why they didn’t act will remain a mystery at least for awhile.
Dunno. They apparently expected the waters to part on Donald’s command.
So, everybody who wanted to be a delegate could be a delegate?
Only sCruzers applied? Really?
So, now Colorado is a Winner Take All State for sCruz? Really?
Me thinks tRump lives rent free in your head.
Gee, what would Trump’s “weak minded minions” do if Ted got the nomination without gaming the system?
Answer: supporting Ted.
“Now, what happened in Colorado is, I’m sorry to say, it’s not a trick. What happened in Colorado is right out in the open. Everybody’s known how Colorado runs its affairs. Everybody has known. Nobody just chose to look at it. It’s no secret that Colorado was gonna have a convention and they’re gonna choose their delegates before the primary. It’s not a secret. It’s just nobody leaked it. Nobody talked about it. Nobody bragged about it. So it was left to be discovered by people who didn’t know. And it turns out that people on the Trump campaign didn’t know.
Now, I can understand how they might feel tricked here. I can understand how they might feel bugabooed because millions of votes, theoretically, are gonna happen that aren’t going to count. Hey, welcome to establishment politics. We have played for you the sound bites on this program of delegates — I’m sorry — of officials, rules committee officials. We played the sound bite of one of these guys that said, “Hey, what you all have to understand is the people don’t select our nominee; the delegates do, we do.” None of this is a mystery. This is the definition of insider versus outsider. This is a classic illustration of how an outsider has to learn the insider game to play it.
Every business has its rules and laws, bylaws, and specific ways that you have to climb the ladder of success. In addition to that, people that run the club — in this case, the Republican establishment — are not gonna sit idly by and let a bunch of outsiders, the peasants with pitch forks, however you want to visualize them, they’re just not gonna sit idly by and let people come in and take it. It’s too valuable. In most cases this is how all of these people value themselves. This is from which they derive their self-worth, is their membership in this club.
So I don’t see Ted Cruz lying and cheating his way to the convention. I see a lot of hard work. I see some people who know what they have to do, given where they are. They’re in second place in both the vote count and the delegate count. They’re serious about winning. The Cruz team is serious about winning. They have made themselves fully aware of how the process works, and they’ve been out working it for quite a while. They went into Louisiana where Trump scored a massive win but they’ve come out of there with many more delegates than, by appearances, they should have.”
and there it is...
What Division were you in? The 2nd Soviet Army Division?
Only a communist would support suppressing the vote.
Laws Trump Rules boy!
Do you want all 50 States to be like Colorado?
Do you call that a Free Republic when votes are suppressed?
I know you want it where the party APPOINTS the leader like in communist China.
None of the Cruz ppl seem to be able to tell me what Cruz did to get this win. HE follow rules and process means what exactly? That is so vague. I want to learn what we could do for next election what need to be changed. Does it mean we need to organize more trump supporters to x location at x time? How many people got to vote?
Don't care if he was born in a manger on July 4th! A "Natural Born" citizen requires two US parents!
That was 2ndDivisionVet's tagline a few years ago, back when he apparently was focused on Barack 0bama's Presidential eligibility or lack thereof.
Is that you in the cartoon 2ndD?

She’s also running her father’s companies and having a baby. Her plate’s a bit full. Trump being the businessman he is, is trying to keep overhead low and recently realized it wasn’t working and adjusted.
His fiscal conservative nature in the mater of the his campaign expenses bodes well for running an executive that’s equally fiscally conservative. I can’t stay same for Ted who’s been living off of other people’s money his entire life.
He is probably making sure the PA 54 unbounded delegates don’t get stolen from Trump.
Wouldn't it be more respectful to the thousands of Americans who have fought and died for the sacred right to vote to show up at the polls and at least vote for the rest of the ticket that earns your approval?
