Maybe send Lewandowski a copy of “Presidential Campaigns for Dummies”?
The short version of this article is that Trump is a dunce for not being more nimble about the establishment’s attempt to keep him from being the nominee.
I understand that the Republican Party is a private organization, and can nominate whomever they want in whatever way they want. However, have you ever seen the GOP attack Democrats with such fervor? Where did they keep all the artillery at they have been using against Trump warehoused during the last 7 disastrous years?
Why? All he’d do is whine about it the whole time.
Yes, back in 1912 the Colorado GOP knew Trump would come along over 100 years later, and so they set up their delegate selection process to deliberately cheat him...
I suspect that he’s trying to be funny. As in “Trump is Grating”. I know, not very funny. I suspect he is either advertising his blog to get hits or is trying to call in rabid anti-trump posters to help.
Nope. It was rigged against incompetent blowhards with no ground game who are clueless about elections and made no effort to nominate delegates to the state convention. It is rigged against idiots who pass out flyers with the wrong information on it, erroneously urging attendees to vote for his opponents delegate. And it is rigged against idiots who attended the caucus and actually got on the convention ballot, yet were disqualified because they didn't pay a $5 filing fee.
Americans see past your nonsense.
They know the GOP outcome was rigged.
Only a few folks, like you defend it.
A backlash is coming against Cruz and his GOPe friends.
Brace yourself.
have you seen the video posted by drudge?
what about listing cruz delegates twice and trump delegates nowhere. (ie listing the same number twice on the selection card)
it’s funny- the trumpies claim that places like Missouri where trump and cruz were very close in actual votes, but where trump walked away with 70% of the delegates because of the delegate rules there is ‘fair play’ and that the voters are ‘not disenfranchised’ there because ‘they are ok with winner take all’ - even though the actual vote was NOT 70/30 split- but by golly colorado rules ‘aren’t fair- What about all those voters in Missouri who cast their votes for Ted only to watch their votes count for nothing because trump walked away with majority of delegates anyways?
Missouri voters got to watch as their votes meant nothing-
The whole damned system is rigged- everywhere- Deal with it folks- candidates can either work to overcome it or whine about it- We’re seeing which trump prefers when it doesn’t benefit him
[[Yes, back in 1912 the Colorado GOP knew Trump would come along over 100 years later, and so they set up their delegate selection process to deliberately cheat him...]]
Lol- too funny
Good one.
It is good to care about things. But it is not good to obsess about one thing all the time.
voters? we don’t need no stinkin’ voters!
Wow. Yet another load of advice from some wonk who never won an election or (probably) run a business. I can’t find a bio, unfortunately. Anyhow I’m so glad that we have such an army of experts (with no experience) to tell everyone else how to run their lives, businesses and campaigns. Gotta love the DC Cultists.
Trump complained about it, and there is some motion on changing it as a result.
As to what qualifies as "whining" vs "complaining" in the back and forth between the Cruz and Trump camps seems to be that the other side is the one "whining". I think we need an objective standard.
For myself, common sense says that "whining" would be saying things like: "I have never felt so violated" and "it was the worst day in my life since my father died" for being pulled away by the arm from a secret service screen in a press scrum. Can we have agreement on at least that obvious case?
I checked the official gop site; https://www.gop.com/official-2016-gop-delegate-count/
Trump has 755 and needs 482
Cruz has 521 and needs 716
There are 798 remaining
Trump needs 60.4% of the remaining delegates.
Cruz needs 89.7% of the remaining delegates.

The Colorado ballot is a computer scan card with numbers on it.
As ou can see, there are no names on the ballot - only numbers.
The card contained a typo where 378 was printed on the 379 slot. But only a complete idiot would not know which circle to mark for 379.
In addition, this error works in Trump's favor. Assuming that 378 is a Cruz delegate while 379 is a Trump delegate, a Cruz voter wouldn't have noticed 379 was missing and may have inadvertently marked the second 378 square, thus casting a vote for the Trump delegate. Yet a Trump voter looking for 379 and not finding it would be alerted to the typo and ask questions to ensure his vote went to the right candidate.
