1237, you own them.
If less, after 1st ballot, you don't own them any longer.
hmmm. Trump has 37% of the voters nationwide but 45% of the delegates ...
That’s a big can of worms that’s been opened in Colorado...these are Dune worms.
At this point I'm afraid we should expect a Clinton-Kasich race. Nice going everyone.
It's true that voters used to be able to vote in a straw poll, but it had no bearing whatsoever on delegates. Those have always been chosen by caucuses just as they were this time.
When the RNC declared earlier this year that states could not conduct meaningless primaries (beauty pageants), Colorado cancelled its. Trumpsters may not like it, but nothing has changed.
Trump's team just hadn't bothered, I guess, to learn the rules.
1237, you own them.
If less, after 1st ballot, you don't own them any longer.
This should be pretty. The RNC gave Trump the rules for all states. CO GOP announced their plans. Trump blows it and cries cheater once again. How would that work out for a president = crying cheater or lying to the world.
If Trump’s campaign hadn’t screwed up so badly, it wouldn’t have happened. Once again displaying incredible incompetence, it told people to vote for the wrong delegate numbers, so that instead of Trump delegates, they voted for Cruz delegates. There’s no one to blame here but Corey Lewandowski and the other “good people” Trump has hired to run his campaign.
No let's play fascist propaganda maker and demand Trump gets the nomination based on a plurality of votes and delegates because that is fair! If not, burn the place down!
I recall a movement used that these tactic to seize power in the 1930's??? who where they?
It’s not cheating, it’s winning. - Rush Limbaugh
I just checked their facebook page. All of 92 people say they are going. Not too much outrage here. Looks to be a Trump operation to try and deligitimize Cruz and a round 2 or 3 nomination. Or from the dictionary you might say it’s:
To complain or protest in a childish or annoying fashion: Example... fans who are always whining about the poor officiating.
You know folks, at a certain point you need to admit that Trump was playing under the same rule book. If he wasn’t aware of the rules its his own fault. The delegates were selected per the rules. For God’s sake, quit whining people. Is this how you act at a sports game?
Sour grapes, Elites didn’t steal anything. I attended a local precinct caucus on Super Tuesday and any registered Republican could participate. My caucus chose Cruz and 1 alternative for Trump, but apparently the majority chose Cruz delegates to the state and CD districts. I will not abide by this illegitimate talk when ANYONE could have gotten involved.
In fact I invited a few neighbors to go with me (a father and son, one was supporting Cruz and one Trump) and neither went with me.
So now that Trump has lost it must be “cheating” again, Go away, please go away if Mr. Trump can’t win within the existing rules!!
the colorado caucus process is a sick, anti-democratic joke. About half a dozen people show up for each precinct caucus, and “elect” people to attend county assemblies and Congressional district assemblies; the county assemblies “elect” people to the state convention. The CD and State assemblies “elect” then delegates, who are supposedly unbound.
A couple thousand people out of a population of 5 million participate.
The Elite never sleep. Would you if the important things in life to you were on the line: Sex, Wealth, Power?
