Donald Trump vented Monday over the delegate fight on which his campaign has been repeatedly outfoxed, slamming the situation in Colorado as a "crooked deal."

So you don’t want any rules for nominating the GOP candidate? Or just special rules for Mr. Trump?
it says Cruz’s self serving effort is ruining the party....that is patently false. The guy is an idiot
you nor I know why they did this type of voting. But it was known by all (even Trump) for a long time. They are acting like this is something they never heard of, like they were caught by surprise. They weren’t. Trump needs to accept the defeat but he has to keep up the “I was cheated” meme to whip up his followers.
“Trump is at best was naive about the process...”
I don’t think he’s naive. I think he’s dishonest.

Well isn’t that interesting.
Trump needs to go independent. If states refuse to put him on the ballot write in his name anyway
Just like in St Louis. Trump is not educated on the rules or procedures. “This morning Jamie Allman gave a whiny Trump supporter 8-10 min airtime regarding the St. Charles Co Caucus held Saturday. I attended. Trump supporters did NOT have a complete Slate of Delegates prepared, despite the fact the Caucus Rules were available online since January. Though Parliamentary Procedure didn’t require it, the Caucus Chair allowed Trump supporters to change their out of order “request” for a 15 min recess to a motion. That motion was voted on by the entire Caucus body. Motion failed. Trump supporters then submitted an incomplete Slate of Delegates to the Nominating Committee and it was rejected. Again, all Caucus Rules were available since January. The Caucus body voted to adopt the only viable Slate of Delegates submitted, comprised of Cruz supporters.
No one was cheated. There were no shenanigans. Caucus Rules and Parliamentary Procedure were applied EQUALLY AND FAIRLY TO ALL.
RIGHT, he’s such a moron that he had used the media brilliantly to draw attention to this travesty.
All 7+million of his Twitter followers know about it, it is front and center on Drudge, who gets

FURY AS COLORADO HAS NO PRIMARY OR CAUCUS; CRUZ CELEBRATES VOTERLESS VICTORY
Countless millions have been alerted to the underhanded way Cruz/GOPe does business.
And then there’s the eneMedia....can you guess what the lede is tonight?
I’d say this is genius.
[Who is whining like a LOSER.]
Just making an observation about non-voter interest. Why the rage?
I find it rather interesting that the GOP, Cruz, and K man from Ohio are not even pretending that the primary vote means anything any more.
I find it even more interesting that they are attacking those who do view the primary elections as having some sort of influence in the actual nominee as stupid.
Trump could have turned on the charm and made an effort to connect with the Colorado GOP establishment. There are certainly party leaders who hate/fear him, but there are just as certainly party leaders who could be seduced by a billionaire who tried.
He never made the case to them that their self-interest would be served by giving him a proportionate share of the delegates based on his popularity in the state, and that is an easy case to make if you have money on your side. I'm not quite saying bribery, not any more than a man who takes a woman out for an extravagant evening is paying for a particular outcome, but an implicit appeal to their greed would likely have done it.
I get it. You’re angry. But voting for Democrats? C’mon, Darlin’. That won’t help us take back the country.
Thank you FRaddict, keep posting this.... maybe it will be read and sink in eventually. what you say aligns with what the Co gentleman in the OP of this thread also said.
I have been voting since 1966 and have never seen anything like this. The system has become totally corrupt. The closest was 1968 when Mayor Daily asked Humphrey how many more votes he would he need out of Chicago. Now the corruption is statewide and not limited to only one state.
