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."

He's a liberal. What (else) do you expect? They are always 'true to form'. That liberal form.
The video doesn’t tell me anything except that he’s angry. It gives no details about stolen delegates.
More voted for Trump than Cruz, but since Trump didn’t get 60% you’re fine with Cruz getting 100% if the delegates?
That’s common core math.
And doesn’t reflect the voters at all.
Cruz pretended to be anti-establishment and against this sort of thing. Now it’s clear he’s no different than the other politicians. Probably worse.
Colorado CRUZ GOPe BACKFIRE ! ! !

“This fellow in the video was a Republican Party State Delegate in Colorado. He was removed from his position because he voted for TRUMP. Not having a Primary, No Caucus, NO PUBLIC VOTE and CRUZ gets All THE DELEGATES. That is Disenfranchising the voters . . . and you don’t think their will be a price to pay!”
Colorado Trump Delegate Removed And Replaced

Again, how was he removed? He says his precinct chair removed him from the list of delegates.
If there is actual caucus fraud, we can prove it. I’ve served in my precinct. There is paperwork that shows he was elected at his precinct caucus. There is paperwork that shows he was elected at his [Douglas] county caucus.
He claims that he could not get his delegate credentials at the [Colorado] state convention. There is paperwork that was transmitted from the county caucus to the state convention. Until he demonstrates that his name was on a list of county delegates, his accusations against his precinct chair are just that.
Delegates are sent letters after they’re elected telling them when and where to report to receive their credentials for the next caucus/convention. Let’s see the evidence.
Those mean old Republicans in CO! They knew that Trump was going to be running and got rid of the primary, in 2000. The caucus and convention system has been in place years before any of your Trump people were even born! The fact is that Cruz was on the ground out there as early as 8 months ago and worked the state. Thousands turned out for the caucuses and conventions. Cruz appealed to them. Cruz came out and spoke at the convention, Trump decided to not come out. But is sure not Trump’s fault that he didn’t win! I couldn’t be lack of organization and not working. I couldn’t have been because he decided to not come out there. No! Certainly not! Any time he wins it is just great and the people have spoken, but anytime he doesn’t it is a whining cry baby about being cheated. You Trump guys really need to consider what this says about your man!
keep dreaming that Raycpa. In other words, Trump should go ahead and lie about it. Boy, that is principled!
First round- No...
Second round - no problem...
Trump should have worked to keep their vote...
Massive mocking fail, no donuts for you. The fact is those mean old Party insiders in CO were scared to death popular Tea Party would derail their crooked little scams. And it worked like a charm to derail the one the people wanted while protecting the Party insiders and establishment they serve.
I never said that...
Trump has just as much opportunity to get delegates to switch their vote as Cruz does.....
So Trump, the “brilliant manager” didn’t bother to learn the rules of the game before playing the game.
That’s what some people want running the country?
You can sure tell which one is the lawyer here.
I see no evidence of that.
Make your case, please.
In a vengeful sort of way, I almost hope the D.C. insiders succeed in swindling this election and their way into the White House.
I’m trying to imagine the mood of Middle America becoming even worse, after decades of being swindled, robbed and looted by deceitful loser leadership and it’s sultans of sham in D.C.
There are ways to pay these SOBs back. There are ways to get real creative.
Louisiana
Trump - 41.1 % of the vote
Cruz - 37.8 % of the vote
Rubio - 11.2 % of the vote
Kasich - 6.4 % of the vote
Both Trump and Cruz got 18 delegates
By my math 58.9 % of the voters didn't vote for Trump...
He won a plurality of votes not a majority...
I've been told time and time again Cruz is denying the "will of the people" by targeting delegates to switch support...
I think the 58.9 % of the voters who didn't vote for Trump don't consider the 41.1 % of those who voted for Trump a majority...
Claiming that a plurality of votes is a majority is akin to mob rule...
Pathetic you’re defending this blatant disregard of the Republican constituents.
You know what I've noticed that has been a Crucifix/garlic/light, lol, to you Cruz supporters and that is all these sleazy shenanigans is a moot point if Ted Cruz would have done the right thing and bowed out of the race gracefully.
But he has revealed to us that he is not graceful or principled or really not a conservative. He is needing 88% of the remaining delegates to win this thing outright and that is virtually impossible, especially with New York and the North East coming up.
In 2012, Santorum was one of the last left in the race and he was needing 75% of the remaining delegates to win this outright. He decided to bow out gracefully.
In conclusion, this race SHOULD already be over and the only logical reason for Ted Cruz to stay in is to help the GOP establishment disrupt this so they can attempt to undermine the will of the people. There is nothing conservative or principled about that.

Yep, that was noted. Pathetic is an understatement.
I do not. T
hat would be the worse thing that could ever happen.
I would like see it done peacefully and lawfully.
Unfortunately it could happen. Those like Cruz and the rest in D.C. are capable of anything in my opinion.
Like Goldman Sachs, who was just fined 5.1 billion in a nationwide fraud scam, but no one went to jail.
I’d bet if it was simply a fine for one of these corrupt insiders to shoot Trump to death, they would have already done so. So instead, they do what they do best, and commit fraud on a national scale.
