The Establishments war on Donald Trump Title: Cory Gardner (piece of shit) on Colorado: ‘Cruz had it. Trump didn’t. End of story.’
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) is questioning how GOP frontrunner Donald Trump could defeat the Islamic State (ISIS) after he seemed unable to figure out the Colorado delegate process.“How on earth are you going to defeat ISIS if you can’t figure out the @cologop convention?” the Colorado senator tweeted. Gardner took to Twitter unleashing a series of tweets blasting Trump for claiming that the Colorado delegate selection was a fix after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) swept nearly all the delegates at the state GOP convention:

It requires organization & attn to grassroots to win. Cruz had it. Trump didn't. End of story. Well, he would know since Gardner and every elected Republican in Colorado has been nominated and elected by the Colorado GOP via its caucus system which has been in place since 2004. When Trump attacks the CO caucus system, he is attacking the legitimacy of every elected Republican in the state. And every delegate from the state. The only thing that actually changed last year was they cancelled the non-binding caucus straw poll for president. Colorado has preferred unbound delegates and the RNC made a new rule last year that if you held any sort of vote for prez, you had to bind your delegates to them. So Colorado GOP just cancelled their "beauty pageant" straw poll since they wanted their delegates to remain unbound. Cruz did "win" Colorado by a certain measure but, technically, those are still unbound delegates on the first ballot. Good luck to Trump trying to pick up a single one of them. I've wondered if Trump might decide to challenge the outcome. I actually hope he does because it would open a huge can of worms that would backfire on his victories in other caucus states.

Please tell me how "they" conspired to influence the delegates chosen by myself and my neighbors to represent us at our state convention?

There were 65,000 of you , right?
#47. To: fooman (#37) There were 65,000 of you , right? Versus the millions who would have voted in a primary, and the millions who will vote in the general election. So, Cruz will get his 65,000, and the Democrats will get Colorado's Electoral Votes. I guess Republicans still believe they are going to be able to "pivot" and get Trump's voters. Not happening. Crush democracy to control the process by denying people the vote, and the Trump people will vote for the other side. Whatever you fear from Trump, you will get worse from Hillary. You've cut off your nose to spite your face.
#48. To: Vicomte13 (#47) The rules say we can change the rules, so the rules are whatever we say they are whenever we want.
#50. To: Roscoe (#48) "The rules say we can change the rules, so the rules are whatever we say they are whenever we want." Gosh. That sounds a lot like no rules.
