Is Donald Trump being cheated out of the Republican Presidential nomination?

Without a single vote being cast by Republican voters in Colorado, Ted Cruz won 21 delegates from the state’s seven congressional assemblies and 13 delegates at the state convention on Saturday April 9th, 2016. While the Colorado GOP establishment changed the primary process in August 2015 – the opposition to Trump delegates has supporters of the businessman up in arms. What is the Truth About The Colorado Delegate Controversy?

Because he thought the convention would be honest?

There was nothing dishonest about the convention - try again.

The only poll I can find for CO was last Nov when Trump was in 3rd place, Cruz in 4th

And what does that have to do with anything? In November, there were 17 people running. Now there are three.

Now Cruz gets all delegates?

That's what happens when you know the rules, start preparing early, and have an enthusiastic group of supporters willing to take the time to show up at each level of the process. As my old pastor used to say, "the harder you work, the luckier you get."

[CA Conservative]

It was a conscience decision by Trump camp not to participate here because the system was rigged since last year by 24 GOPe members

Then why is he whining about it? He chose not to compete - he lost.

Didn't Obama take Colorado in 2012? GOP rules do not favor voter turnout.

LOL!

Colorado has had a Caucus since 1910 or 1912 depending on the source.

They stopped for a few years and returned in 2004, so this has NOTHING to do w Trump.

The National GOP ruled that if we had a straw poll, the delegates would be bound.

In 2008 and 2012 we were bound to candidates who had dropped out by the time of State Assembly, making our votes meaningless.
To avoid that result, Colorado opted to not hold a straw poll.

21 Delegates to Nat’l come from Congressional District Assemblies.
When Trump lost all of these he decided not to speak at the State Ass’y, like Cruz did.
Not liking the result, he stands outside and cries foul, rather than accept the defeat like a man.

Cruz can’t get 50% of the popular vote in a generic state, so now he’s claiming he has 100% support of Colorado Republicans. He doesn’t even have 10% support.

[4rcane]

They’re simply shining the light on this corruption. I don’t think he should feel bad at being bad at being corrupt

[G Larry]

Better go do some homework and quit embarrassing yourself.

Colorado held a caucus in both 2008 and 2012.

It is the fact that the winner at Caucus had dropped out by the time of the State Convention that caused the State to decide against a Straw Poll this year that would have been binding.

[Just mythoughts]

Cheer all day and all night for Colorado GOP rules. The big picture says the GOP does not favor voter turnout. Kiss Colorado off come November... Didn't Obama win Colorado in 2012..

[JoSixChip]

Not according to the people on the ground. Trump had NO organization in Colorado,

I've read a couple of your post on this thread, boy do you love to talk when you don't have a clue what the hell you are talking about. Prior to this year, Colorado Republican voters picked their delegates at a caucus, not the gopE. Trump had prepared his supporters in Colorado during Town-hall style phone conferences. However, Trump is smart enough to know not to invite morons, that is why you did not get the invite. We conservatives here in Colorado know all about the corrupt gopE here and Trump let us know what was most likely going to happen before it happened.

[G Larry]

“He doesn’t even have 10% support.”

Now how would you prove such ridiculous claim?

[Wpin]

I guess it never crossed his mind, like the thousands in Colorado that they would not be allowed to vote. We were not prepared for this despicable, unethical behavior. But, we will be prepared to end it. Whether it is with ballots or bullets, it will end.

[JoSixChip]

Incorrect. Colorado held a "beauty contest" in 2012, but the results of that were not binding,

You moron, the hell they weren't, I was there. Just STFU.

[G Larry]

Didn’t Obama kick Hillary’s butt too?

[ObamahatesPACoal]

1% of Republicans in Colorado bothered to go to the dog and pony show.

[CA Conservative]

I guess it never crossed his mind, like the thousands in Colorado that they would not be allowed to vote.

It never crossed his mind, despite the fact that this is the way they have selected the delegates since at least 2002? That requires major league ignorance and incompetence on his part. And this is the guy you think should be in charge of the country?

[ObamahatesPACoal]

The US Senate candidates are toast and any other statewide CO candidate is probably toast unless Trump is the nominee.

[Just mythoughts]

Excuse me? Obama ran unopposed in 2012.

[CA Conservative]

Sure, call me moron. That’s all your tiny brain can do, spout invective like your hero. So tell me, genius, if the results of the “beauty contest” were binding, why did Santorum get 40% of the vote and only 7 delegates, while Romney got 34% of the vote and 13 delegates and Ron Paul got 12% of the vote and also got 13 delegates?

Go home, your village is looking for their idiot...

[Ceebass]

That’s what happens when you know the rules,

0bama refers to Rules for Radicals

Cruz refers to Rules for RINOS

Stop posting, you don't have a clue what the hell you are talking about.
