Inconvenient fact ignored by Trump supporters.
Let me tell you this. I will actively protest at any cruz rally I can ever get to. He is the enemy. REMEMBER COLORADO!!
Are you from Colorado?
I don't think Cruz has become that which he hates. On the contrary, I think he's been pure establishment all along. He hid it for a while, but now the mask is falling off.
Background info. on the rules changes in the RNC & CO GOP national convention nominating process starting over 2 years ago:

In the general, it’s winner take all. Hmm.....
Hey! Back off! Don’t confuse us with FACTS!!
His ground team isn’t good enough. He has very few people left and just started up California.
Hillary can’t beat him head to head but the demo ground team can beat him handily. A very basic and yuge error that has everyone worried.
Cruz started to assemble his ground team in 2014 and he has one that can match or beat the demos team. He has all the talented people on his team.
. Up through the 1976 election, which accelerated the number of states holding Primaries, the CAUCUS/CONVENTION method was the usual method for choosing delegates to the National Convention: it was a system easily controlled - and, in many cases, manipulated - by the party hierarchy. In the Democratic Party of the early 1970’s, the McGovern-Fraser reforms - seeking to reduce the influence of “bossism” in the nominating process - encouraged many states to change over from this method of choosing National Convention delegates to the Primary and, since Primaries are elections regulated by state law and the majority of statehouses in the 1970’s came to be controlled by Democrats, the GOP was also forced - by laws in the several states - to begin turning away from the CAUCUS/CONVENTION. In 1960, there were only 16 presidential primaries: by 1980, there were 35 and, in 2000, there were 45 presidential primaries
My question is a joke because people didn’t get to vote in Colorado.
Trump knew what the rules were last year. Trump is using the bomb the Colorado GOP gave him to blow the corruption there sky high. I think Trump planned it that way. He knew the GOP elitist rules in Colorado. A good warrior chooses the battle - and when it’s not winnable you do an end run. That is what Trump is doing and it’s working perfectly. Look what’s happening on twitter, on facebook, here, on Drudge, and in the pressers.
Colorado was a bed built for Jeb, Cruz just happened to fall into it - wildly fornicating and fluffling every establishment elitist he can get close to. The exact same thing happened on Wisconsin.
Yes. The “only principled candidate in the race” has left the race never to return, “A Time For Truth” has defaulted to “A Time For Status Quo Gutter Politics”.
I’d like a refund on my copy of the book. Ted will wish he had never seen Colorado before this is over.
Rules don’t mean a damn thing if the people running the show are corrupt. There are ways to deal with the gestapo-like tactics of the Colorado GOPe, but it’s by stepping outside of their little, rigged system of intimidation and attacking from without. Trump supporters who played by the rules within the system and put themselves up for election as delegates were excluded by the party bosses, so the rules had nothing to do with Trump getting stiffed.
Why not use the same argument to silence Obama’s critics? (i.e. Conservatives, what are you complaining about with Executive Amnesty or IRS-Gate? Obama is just better at using the rules than you.)
Doubling down on dirty :(
“wildly fornicating and fluffling every establishment elitist he can get close to.”
Yup..the x-rated Ted went a step too far
The people he has laid off have said that they never had materials, signs, brochures etc. Which are effectively used to persuade people to vote for him.
Several have they never received any.
The Demos will eat his lunch.
>> No amount of spin and taunts on this site can make up for Trump’s lack of effort <<
What about shouting to the Heavens, pounding the floor, and rending of garments?
Maybe those actions would help more than would spinning and taunting?
Dummie Trump is not as smart as Cruz with foreign policy, we need “skin in the game” to prove we aren’t wimps to Putin. Putin looks so evil he needs competition.
Like Jessie Watters said tonight on The Five, this is what they do in communist countries, just cancel the vote and make the deal in a backroom.
I know the best candidate is the one who has the ability to manipulate byzantine bureaucratic rules with the help of insiders. Not the one with the overwhelming majority of votes and state victories.
It is insane to even consider that the Republican Party could deny the candidate who won every state in the South, swept the entire Northeast, and won the rust belt states of Michigan, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. Even forgetting all of the other states that he won and will win.
The fact that the establishment has and is plotting this makes it clear that globalist interests overwhelming trump (no pun intended) the interests of the average American.
Huh? Pennsylvania hasn’t even voted yet.
