The votes were stolen, by Goldman Cruz and his
criminal thieves from the GOP-E and Soros,
from ... the People.

This is about stealing from the People by
the CuboCanadian BangOf8-Cheater.

As Harry Enten explains at FiveThirtyEight, Trump’s “percentages make him the weakest Republican front-runner, at this point in the process, in decades.” Reagan, for example, had nearly 50% of the vote and 70% of the delegates by April, the data show.

Trump of all people should know that he’s still a long way from closing the deal with the party he hopes to lead — and that he isn’t close to getting a majority of the delegates he needs to secure the nomination.

Ted’s leadership skills seem to work best when he is out for himself, don’t they ? Given his track record of being a disliked loner on a senate soapbox
and of siding with the Soros backed mobs looking to,disrupt trumps campaigns and by extension, the american political process

What about those “ rules” that when a candidate rents a venue he has the right to talk to his invited guests?

Give Americans a break. We recognize leadership and we know who we want sitting across the table from China, Iran or Russia

Whether planned it or not, the lack of fairness in the process fits right in with his campaign of the people in this country getting short shrift and so becomes a great talking point for Trump. As long as the delegates don’t overturn a popular election it isn’t going to hurt him in the long run (hopefully).

Sure. What we are seeing is that delegates can be used to thwart the will of the people.

Rules change in August: Colorado’s delegates were supposed to remain unbound until the convention.
http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_28700919/colorado-republicans-cancel-2016-presidential-caucus-vote

Primary in March: No results have been released (why?).

Surprise delegate allocation to Cruz: an obvious underhanded attempt to derail Trump is supposed to be evidence of Trump’s lack of skill or strategy. One problem with that: in a sane world, the candidates court the voters. They shouldn’t have to buy delegates. Obviously, the GOP in CO is doing what it can to rig the election for the elite establishment. I don’t know if Cruz is complicit, or just happy to accept the results—either way, he is merely a tool. Once he has been used to deflect the will of the people, the media/political cabal will cast him aside. He is unlikely to win the general, and even if he does—he’s nothing more than Obama’s third term.

If you put several layers of GOPe party apparatchiks between the voter and the convention, bad things will happen.

Trump is exciting his voters. He is solidifying their support when saying these things while working behind scenes for delegates. Smart politics.

There's a lot of moaning and groaning about how ill-prepared and disorganized Trump’s campaign has proven to be...... vis-a-vis “Lyin’ Ted”........

Now let's be clear....Trump was not ill-prepared or disorganized. Trump's running his campaign like a businessman....when you win, you win. There's no going back to redo the deal. It's iron-clad.

But lowlife Ted ....the human cockaroach....is crawling around 24/7 grabbing delegates he is not entitled to.

If there were any failings, it's b/c the Trump people just did not envision the likes of a scumbag like St Ted, reworking the rules to HIS benefit.......the Saint is obsessed w/ Trump hatred, bent on undoing Trump's wins.

When candidates lose, they gracefully bow out. St Cruz Gives a victory speech. His maniacal lust for power tags him as the kind of candidate the Framers of The Constitution wanted the new Nation to avoid.

Sanders has a very substantial ground team.
Hillary’s ground team is the demo ground team and it too is really spectacular.

Cruz has a ground team which is formidable.

Trump does not have a ground team. What few he had have been laid off. The demos will eat his lunch in the final election. That is why the delegates are going to Cruz.

Explain this Einstein, why is it that a ballot with numbers listed # 277 # 278 then #280 # 281?
I’ll tell you; because #279 was a TRUMP delegate so just STFU.

I canceled IBD because of cr@p like this. I subscribed because they didn't follow the WSJ line on open borders. They lost me on Trump.

It's not complicated. The primary system deployed in Colorado is corrupt and elitist, empowering insiders and disenfranchising voters. That's the big picture, that's the big issue...and all we hear is snarking about how everybody knew the rules...

The GOPee created Trump and now they're pouring fuel on the fire. We gave the Repubs the House, Senate AND presidency in 2000...look what they did with it. The spinelessness and corruption, combined with W's nation building led to the losses in 2006 and 2008.

Please, they said...give us another chance. Give us the House, we'll stop Obama. Done. Except now we need the Senate...give us that, and we'll for sure stop Obama, THIS TIME...except even after kicking Boehner to the curb, Ryan gave Obama everything he wanted. McConnell promised he would not shut down the government. We understand that message was not aimed at Obama...it was aimed at US.

Promises were made and broken. More bricks in the wall. We concluded, rightly, that elections and government were not about what we wanted...we realized the GOPee had more than its share of elitists...moreover, that they could not be trusted.

Along comes Trump...calls out the Establishment. The Empire strikes back. We're told it's the party, NOT US, who will decide the candidates. Colorado emphasizes the point.

We understand how we got here. If there was any doubt, it's been erased...our leaders intend to tell us how it will be, not the other way around. What's more...we foolishly thought if we didn't like the direction of the government we could replace our leaders. Instead...because of open borders, it appears our 'leaders' have decided to replace us.

That's the story. It's astonishing to me that I have to explain that to you, rather than the other way around. Instead we have to listen to you explain that if Trump were a traditional politician, running a traditional campaign, he would have known about the rules designed to disenfranchise voters. Of course, part of the point about his campaign is that he's not a traditional politician.

Trump has done more for the U.S campaigning for the GOP nomination than some presidents have in their whole 8 years.

The voters like feeling good. They like the truth and when they starve for the truth they’ll take it in whatever form it comes.

The Status Quo is lining up to beat him. Wash over him like a tsunami of negative editorials such as this one.

After you knock him out, the voter hangover is going to be brutal and the backlash will be devastating to conservatives.

Cruz gets what he wants by lying, cheating and outright stealing. His lust for power has taken over his sense of fairness - if he ever had one.

His day of reckoning will come about soon enough. Oddly he is a resurrected Sadducee by way of Canada, look out!

Leadership? How can one be a leader against an entrenched enemy (GOPe). They control far too much of the GOP party at every level. They’ll gladly hand the Presidency to Hillary rather than see an outsider like Trump as the winner. Can’t rock that gravy train.
