Republican Party Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is taking a swipe at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump over his complaints about the Colorado delegate-selection process.

Reince Priebus @Reince

Job #1 on inauguration day. Trump to Reince, "You're fired!"

Problem with that idea is that the RNC has already made it clear that they are not turning the organization over to Trump if he gets the nomination. They will support his candidacy, but they will not allow him to put his own people in at the RNC.

Nice line, heard that before. Of course the president does not pick the RNC head and he is not running again anyway.

How can Trump when a country when he cannot run a campaign? To lose by not playing for it then whining liar, cheater! in an attempt to cover his incompetence only plays to his base - which he must be worried about.

Trump is the ultimate crybaby. Waaaah, I lost so I must have been cheated. So unfair, I only had months upon months to learn the rules and put together an decent organization in Colorado. Waaaaaaaaah, no fair mentioning that I didn’t even bother going to Colorado - that is like cheating me a second time. Booo hooo.


Keep all that in mind when we are told by his supporters that he’s our only hope to turn the country around.

If whiney snowflake Trump is our last hope, then we are screwed beyond screwed.

Seriously, I’ve never seen a bigger crybaby run for office than Trump. And the general public is noticing it as well

kind of like in Florida where Trump gets 45% of the vote, but 100% of the delegates. But you are ok with that. Plurality rules on your book.

That is what you call being chosen by the voters. That is how it works in a WTA state. I'm in Colorado, my wife and I never got a chance to vote for Trump. For cruz and his supporters to be celebrating that fact is an act of treason in my opinion.

No that is what you call a plurality of people deciding for 100% of the people.

Probably another Cruz supporter who is going to be surprised that their boy is going to be kicked to the curb. Even if he got it, he’s lost support as we’re divided like 1860. Trump’s not a conservative they say! He’s not perfect! He’s a phony. Meanwhile the demoncrats are marching to Victoria. Not that there’s much difference in the parties!

The Denver Post had first reported the Colorado Republicans’ decision to cancel their state presidential caucus on August 25, 2015:

Which made exactly no change to the process of selecting the delegates. By the way, they didn't cancel the caucus - the canceled the straw poll. But the straw poll has never been used to award delegates. So yes, the process was known for more than a year.

America HATES how this game is played.
That’s why Trump has support.

This is a Federal Election. The delegate rules should be uniform throughout the states.

The higher up you go on the food chain the worse it gets for the individual. It is better for the states to make their own rules.

These are rules in place long before Trump decided to run.

Again, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. The rules were made up as the gopE saw fit in the last few months and the voters were not informed. Not that it would have mattered anyway because the rules were made so the gopE had full control over who would be the delegates.

No this isn't a Federal election - that comes in November. This is a process for the party to select their candidate, and how they do it is up to the party. If they chose to pull a name out of a hat, it would be perfectly legal.

Oh, good. More advice for Trump from those who didn’t support him in the first place.

Good. I will not vote for anyone who endorses someone other than Trump, and that includes our soon-to-be-former Senator Portman.

If your guy winning the nomination isn't enough for you, and you plan on extracting vengeance against any Republican who supported someone else in the primary, then I'd say you're part of the problem.

I'm not sure what it is with some of you Trump supporters, but he's not being elected dictator for life, or even dictator for six months. He will be able to accomplish almost nothing of substance as President unless he can get Congress to go along with him, and putting Democrats in control just to spite Republicans you don't like is basically political suicide.

Honestly, it is a worry that attitudes like yours that make me less than 100% sure I'll support Trump as the nominee. If he wins the nomination, and then goes to war against the rest of the party, I won't vote for him. Rather lose the Presidency then put someone in office whose mission it will be to turn Congress over to the Democrats.

Blasting the entire Republican party as crooked is going to damage other Republican candidates in the general election. Not only is that extraordinarily bad for him personally if he wins the nomination, but it will cause a lot of damage even if he doesn't.

You are blaming Trump for calling out the GOP because it will hurt the GOP. Why do you not similarly call out the GOP for causing the issue in the first place?

Similarly, why do you not also identify the "Never Trump" movement in the GOP as being equally damaging, should Trump get the nomination, and only slightly less damaging if he does not?

You are correct trump will always be a whiny childish pussy.


His behavior isn’t going to change should he win the nomination.

If he is the nominee, I suspect we’ll see more angry tweets, personal insults towards all those who don’t bow to his magnificence, more whining..

Which is why if he is the nominee say hello to Madame President.

The Rules - in both the GOP party AND the government - are made to benefit those already in power

That is why we need an outsider like Trump most of all.

To wipe the slate clean and start over

As bad as Boehner and Ryan have been, having Pelosi in charge again would be a disaster of epic proportions.

At least with Boehner we got Sequestration. With Pelosi we got Porkulus and ObamaCare
