Exactly, voters weren’t even allow the courtesy of a vote. Real GOPe teamwork there. The kind they will use to ram through Amnesty if and when Cruz would win.
The CO leadership choose not to have a primary or a caucus, the GOP or Cruz had nothing to do with it.
The CO [GOP] leadership is the GOP in CO.
Stop with your BS. The CO leadership you are referring to are GOP party politicos who made this decision in AUGUST 2015. The GOP did have something to do with it and it was intended for Jeb to stop Bush. As the legacy Bush Dynasty Standard Bearer, Cruz got the manna from the GOP as a sign-on bonus.

..Jeb to stop Bush..... Should be “...Jeb to stop Trump....”
It’s called a very, very well run campaign and one of the best ground games ever seen, all run one of the best organized and smartest men you’ve ever met, Ted Cruz.
Nope, every state sets their own rules.
“The CO leadership you are referring to are GOP party politicos who made this decision in AUGUST 2015.”
So...Aug 2015 - April 2016 isn’t enough time for Trump to figure out how the rules work?
I guess rallies and ball caps won’t be enough to win in the real world?
You seem real proud Colorado voters were not allowed and open and above board process to vote their opinions instead having to take time out of their lives to navigate through established party roadblocks to secure delegate slots instead. Shame on you. Bark it up another tree, fella.
You might have a point... except for that tweet the Colorado GOP sent.
We did it! #NeverTrump
That delegate farce was NEVER about giving voice to the Republican voters in Colorado. It was about Ted's establishment cronies screwing over Donald Trump.
Yes we all know the talking points.
Trump didn’t even show up, he had no right to any CO votes.
If Trump had only been outworked, it would be one thing. But, again, it is clear that those who are SUPPOSED to be honest brokers were in bed with Ted.
Well, Trump can try again next time.
Getting USA products and services into Japan. Why do you ask?
If Trump had only been outworked
...sorry but it’s obvious that the NYCValuesBigMouth was outworked big time, starting with conservatives mobilizing in Dec, and Cruz actually showing up to speak, which brilliant CronyCrooktRump did NOT... makes a difference at the local level where conservatives like Tancredo have been battling the gopE furiously for a few years.
ymmv
Yup...that looks like a GOP meeting...mostly old people... (I can say that...I’m old!)
And accomplishing what, exactly?
I am sick to damn death of our vast array of "fighters" who can never find a way to win.
I'll take wins on 3 America-first issues before result-free fights on a dozen.
I was always offended by Trump's moniker for Cruz. I wondered why in the world would he do that. Then, when Cruz embraced Mormonism to gain political advantage, it dawned on me. I wouldn't be surprised there is opposition research on Cruz, with evidence, just waiting until he's handed over Trump, if the GOPe or Democrats need it to dispose of Cruz. The moniker still bothers me. Truth will out. I remember Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker.
