This came in the email today from “James” a disgruntled Colorado Republican voter after the party elites gave all of the state delegates to Senator Ted Cruz. On Saturday Ted Cruz supporters took all 13 of the delegates up for grabs at the Colorado GOP Convention to complete a clean sweep of the state. But it was not without controversy. After Cruz swept the Colorado delegates the Colorado Republican Party tweeted this out: From James– Included is my letter to the Colorado GOP head and his reply. Hope this helps expose the diabolical bastards scheming to steal the nomination. Though I told him I live in Colorado I really live in N.J. and I’ll be voting for Trump on June 7th, it’ll be a landslide victory for “The Donald” here in Garden State, a friggin’ landslide. My letter (email): GOPe sellouts & stooges, I guess you haven’t learned YOUR lesson, you saw what we did to the state senate president who betrayed us and voted for the anti-2nd Amendment Bills, we recalled her, what do you think we will do to you for selling us out and joining the #NeverTrump cabal? Let me be abundantly clear so there is no mistake, WE WILL BURN THE WHOLE FUCKING PARTY TO THE GROUND ON ELECTION DAY! We will do one of three things, stay home, vote for 3rd party candidates (ones who don’t have a chance of winning) or cast our lot with the despicable Democrats and destroy the GOP for a generation, it’ll take over a decade to recover from those losses and I’m talking boycotting the entire Republican ticket here, no exceptions. So you now have a choice, invalidate the caucus held over the weekend and hold a “fair” caucus or face our wrath in November. Go ahead cross us at your own peril, you know we are pissed off already by the share of votes Donald J. Trump has received in the Primary Elections held until this point. Think long and hard, ask yourselves “is it worth destroying our entire party for over a decade and suffering a loss from which we may never recover or is it better to listen to the voters and not the RINOs/GOPe (elites)?”. Signed, a 53 year old Colorado Registered Republican voter & Trump supporter PS. I DID support Ted Cruz until he screwed Chris McDaniel in Mississippi, sold us out by championing TPP, gave Obama the ok to negotiate with Iran and began his dishonest campaign for president, now I wouldn’t elect him dogcatcher. Steve House’s reply: James, Thank you for your note. Go ahead and burn the party down if that is what it takes to put this country on the right track then I am open to anything. What happened over the weekend was simple and had no manipulation or underhanded process in it. The Cruz campaign worked harder than anyone else over a longer period of time, using the process that we have to create a victory for him. He came to Colorado, and was the only candidate who did, gave a great speech and won. I would have been perfectly okay with the result being for Mr. Trump had he and his team done the same thing. I will support whoever wins without hesitation but blaming other people when you don’t get what you want is only relevant if you did the work honestly and someone manipulated the process. That didn’t happen here. I think people are upset right now because they either don’t like the process or don’t understand it. I am one of the people who doesn’t like it. It’s complicated and many don’t understand why we don’t just have a national primary across all 50 states in about June, pick the winner and go after the democrats in the general election. There are complications to that as well but it comes down to states rights on how we pick candidate. We should have a presidential primary here but the legislature eliminated it in 2002 because it costs to much and that is a limited government move. Up until this year no one cared. We will put a presidential primary back into our law before this year is over. Lastly, the one thing I do not get from the Trump supporters who are mad at me right now is why so many believe he isn’t going to win. I think Mr. Trump has woken America up and we should be thankful for that. But why do you think he isn’t going to win. He has a big lead, the easiest path to the nomination, a lead in critical states like NY and California etc. Channel you energy into getting your guy elected and in the end if really manipulation happens I will be there to light the match for you. Steve
There never was a vote – Party elites decided on who got the delegates.

The rules are rigged, and you changed them midstream to prevent the Colorado Republicans from getting to vote. And now you're going to get burnt to the ground for it. Bye bye.
I hope so. Of the options presented, I'd choose "vote for 3rd party candidates" but I'd like to see them win. I'd rather see anything but Republicrat asses in any Congressional seats. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Evidence? The chairman wrote, "We should have a presidential primary here but the legislature eliminated it in 2002". A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
Exactly so. Cruz started building a year ago. And he showed up to the convention. He got all the delegates. Same thing as happened in ND where Cruz showed up and Trump didn't. Same exact thing is happening in Wyoming right now. Trump just hired some inexperienced kid a couple weeks ago. The kid went to Colorado and just got started. He called Manafort for directions and that pissed off Lewandowski who is fighting to remain top dog. So Lewandowski fired that kid a few days before the convention started, leaving Trump with no one. That kid was too inexperienced for the job but he might have gotten some delegates. After firing him, the whole thing was so screwed up with bad lists of delegates to vote for that Trump got nothing.
You lie almost as much as Trump. Cruz was hiring staff in CO almost a year ago. Trump fumbled around and let Lewandowski spat with Manafort and fire their lone convention coordinator just a few days before the convention. Cruz, Trump and every other GOP contender received a full list of every contest and all the rules for those states/territories last fall. They've had plenty of time to do their homework. Trump didn't even hire a delegate manager until this month. And Trump didn't go to Colorado to make a speech. Cruz did. As for the changes in August, the CO GOP had conducted a straw poll -- the "beauty pageant" -- that was non-binding on all their delegates. No Colorado delegate has been bound to any candidate since the 2000 election. But hardly any voters ever knew that. The two parties in Colorado decided holding these big primary elections cost the state and the parties too much so they went to these caucus/conventions. And they did have the straw poll but due to an RNC rule change last spring, CO would have had to bind delegates to candidates and they didn't want to do that because usually most of their delegates ended up bound to candidates who had dropped out by the time of the convention anyway. Uh-huh. Like you were ever a Republican anyway. You do nothing but heap your petty hatred on them and have done so for many years, as any of us know. Good riddance. Maybe you should get busy closer to home. Cruz is gonna grab your state's delegates too, even in such a deep Blue gated tax haven.
DR. You are a piece of shit, nothing more.
Trump and his supporters aren't the ones burning the party down. The corruption and stupidity in the Republican party is what's destroying the Republican party. The Demoncraps have been taken over by a steady infusion of Marxism. The Republicans are too stupid to question it and are nothing but gladhanding shitheads wanting to keep their snouts in the feed trough and spending a lifetime career strutting around with pretentious titles. There is no Republican party. There us no Democratic Party. All there is is a massive collection of parasites and shitheads trying to find a soft spot and perpetuate themselves in it to the extreme detriment of this nation.
I'll just wait for Cruz to become the candidate your delegate(s) is pledged to.
What is this bullshit about a primary? What happened to the CAUCUS? Shitbird eliminated the CAUCUS in 2016. by Alex Swoyer Matt Drudge is weighing in on the results in Colorado, where Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) received at least 30 of the 37 delegates following the state Republican Party Convention last weekend. “Does George Bush have to invade Colorado to make it a Democracy? STUNNING Republicans had NO PRIMARY or CAUCUS. At least Dems are faking it!” Drudge posted on Twitter. Hello Colorado Republicans, even Iraqis get a vote! http://www.wnd.com/2016/04/trump-erupts-as-cruz-sweeps-colorado-without-votes/ 8:48 AM - 11 Apr 2016 When Republican party leaders decided not to hold a primary or caucus in Colorado, The Denver Post reported: During a campaign rally on Monday night, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump called Colorado “a fix” because instead of holding an election, the GOP decided to do it through delegates. http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/primaries/states/colorado Colorado Republican Caucuses Tuesday, February 7 Number of Delegates The Race in Colorado In a surprising upset, Rick Santorum won the Colorado caucuses, defeating Mitt Romney in a state he carried easily four years ago when he received 60 percent of the vote. The victory, combined with a win in Minnesota on the same night, was Mr. Santorum’s first since the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3 — a victory awarded two weeks after the contest. Mr. Santorum's victory also offered a stinging denial of Mr. Romney’s candidacy from a state where Republicanism is defined by the evangelicals and Tea Party adherents he has struggled to court this year.

That was done on or before August 25 of last year: www.denverpost.com/news/c...- republicans-cancel-2016-presidential-caucus-vote A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
And I will then enjoy watching Hillary Clinton's Supreme Court strip you of your gun rights and uphold universal single payer Medicare, and the $15 per hour federal minimum wage, and debt forgiveness of college student loans.
The irony is, because of Cruz's efforts in Colorado, HE'S the one being blamed.
I thought the irony was that Cruz thinks he's got a chance to get the nomination. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Those are all things you want anyway.
I'd rather not see the Democrats control the Supreme Court. We need economic reform, but the $15 minimum wage is not how I would do it. I don't want you to have to register your guns. I do support single payer health insurance and college loan reductions. Trump has a better plan on foreign policy and trade. And a better tax plan. And a more even- handed and sensible approach to Israel. But hey, if you're hellbent on having the Democrat way, who am I to stop you? I'll vote for Trump to stop Hillary, but I'll vote for Hillary to make damned sure that the Republicans are not rewarded for having destroyed any semblance of democracy or respect for the people.
If Trump gets the nomination the general election campaign will be a disaster. Of course if he does not get the nomination he will no doubt employ a scorched earth policy. No matter how you stuff the sausage the GOP is screwed. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
They are only screwed if the screw the winner. Which is Trump.
Unfortunately, my guns were all stolen. : )
I dunno. Trump has tipped his hand too much. He keeps talking about "the Republicans", kind of like he talked about "the evangelicals". You know, like they were aliens from another planet that Trump had never been in any contact with. A lot of voters are realizing that this is just Trump's big ego trip, that he is in it solely for himself, that he cares nothing about anyone else, about the party's candidates, holding the Senate or House, electing GOP governors or legislators, etc. You have to wonder if anyone has even told Trump how many delegates are very closely connected with all those campaigns back in their state parties. Given how Trump is directly attacking the Colorado GOP and the RNC now, people will realize what a fraud he is. Trump will flame out. His support will disappear to a few angry grumbles from sore losers. And you get some of that after every primary.
You win today's head up Ted Cruz's ass award.
Trump is the front runner. If he's surprised of how party nominations work, then he is in a world of hurt trying to confront Hitlery in the general. Obama started running ads on Romney in early April 2012 in battle ground states before he locked up the nomination. He also by late April had fully staffed campaign HQs in battle ground states and working voters registration. Hit!ery inherited that apparatus. If Trump is still figuring out how to squeeze delegates for the GOP nom I would gather he has done squat in the battle ground states and purple states. That's why I mentioned either way the party is screwed. Cruz has the national campaign apparatus and is now showing he is a first rate campaigner not to mention fund raiser. However if he wins on a second or third ballot he will be fighting 24/7 Trump on the news programs and not Hitlery. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)

However if he wins on a second or third ballot he will be fighting 24/7 Trump on the news programs and not Hitlery. So much for a government of citizens huh. It will never happen under this corrupt system. It is supposed to be vote for the one you like. If your guy wins he gets the nomination. Not this crooked shit. Trump is playing for getting the most votes from the people. Cruz is a piece of crap. I say that as someone who supported him for a few years for President. There is zero chance I'd vote for that phony now. He has been exposed as a globalist sell out. That's my take. I can disagree with you because your words are wise. They are not antagonistic as some others here. Peace. Yeah I antagonize right back.
If you add up the 63% not voting for Trump + half of the 19% (9.5%) that are only thinking about maybe voting for The Donald, that's 72.5% that probably won't be voting for Trump. He's a loser. And Cruz doesn't fare much better. Bienvenidos el Presidente Hillary! A vote for a real Republican, is a vote for Hillary. Bring on the conservative pro-American RINO's who are electable! Oh, while watching the very entertaining GOP clown show, it's become too late to run a serious candidate? What a surprise. /s Conned by the D&R Party once again. Why would he care when his plan is to step down before it looks like he will lose? His plan from the beginning was to run and draw votes away from any actual conservative candidate,and then drop out of the race when it was too late for anyone else to get the traction needed to defeat his good friend,Hillary Clinton. People that are serious about running for president that have the financing he can get do NOT make the idiot mistakes he has been making since Day One. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW!

Well, McStain is 8 years older now. We could sell it again as "vote for McStain so Palin can become prez". Recall that?

The police dogs will help sniff them out for you, to make sure.
Non sequitur: the general election is a straight up state by state popularity contest, first past the post. The Republicans have turned their delegate process for nomination into a corrupt circus. Trump will do fine against Hillary, if he can get past the Republican corruption. This is obvious.
No, they will realize what a fraud the Republican Party is, and back Trump over the GOP. The GOP will then have to decide if they want to die on their knees before Hillary Clinton, or if they will bend their knees to Donald Trump and live. Bending the knee is better than losing your land.
As Trump's chances to prevail at the convention fade, you talk more like a thug.
Some people just need their asses kicked. Like you for example. Hope the nurse doesn't read your posts and push you down the stairs.
Gee, that suddenly makes me want to vote for Trump.
Cruz thinks that "not Trump" means they prefer him instead.
I'm talking like somebody who has some people he really hates in his sights, and who knows that they can run but they can't hide. And that makes me happy.
The Republicans have turned their delegate process for nomination into a corrupt circus. Trump will do fine against Hillary, if he can get past the Republican corruption. This is obvious. Vic my point was Trump shows a lack of interest in the process which leads to the nomination. Or he has the wrong folks organizing and running his campaign. Either option does not bode well in the general election where Hillary has inherited Obama's apparatus. Trump as the front runner should right now be pounding Hitlery. He's not. He's whining about how unfair the GOP nomination process is while he should be setting the image of the heir apparent front runner. This is due to some of his character flaws and a horrible campaign team which has zero experience running national campaigns. I believe Trump will get the nomination as the numbers are favorable to him.He should be leaning forward in the foxhole ignoring those who are behind him and take straight aim at Hitlery. If he does that effectively, then the delegates will all fall in line. But he won't and will answer every Tweet insult and continue to go off on tangents. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
I am beginning to seriously doubt it. I think the Republican Establishment is going to steal it from him.
That's pretty well put. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
All the Trump supporters I know are extremely gruntled.

Matt Drudge: ‘Hello Colorado Republicans, even Iraqis get a vote’
12 Apr 2016
Washington, DC MATT DRUDGE
@DRUDGE The Colorado system often favors anti-establishment candidates who draw a dedicated following among activists — as evidenced by Rick Santorum’s victory in 2012 caucus. So the party’s move may hurt GOP contenders such as Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who would have received a boost if they won the state.
