Oh nice, I didn't even realize how much of a GOP boondoggle was going on in Colorado, that is too funny. And then people wonder why Colorado is getting more and more blue.
Now I am definitely certain the GOP isn't going to nominate Trump.
How can that be? Sleazy Lawyer Ted Cruz is standing there claiming victory. The GOP is now officially The Go Blank Yourself Party. Unbelievable! Really time for Trump to run Third Party.
If anyone is interested, details below.
The decision was made last August, so, plenty of time for Trump to have gotten his act together.
"The GOP executive committee has voted to cancel the traditional presidential preference poll after the national party changed its rules to require a state's delegates to support the candidate who wins the caucus vote."
To think that people have been claiming that the GOP plays dirty in elections . . . . you mocked, but look at y'all now. Do you think this is their first time? Nah.

Lol, unbelievable.
No one plays dirty like the Democrats. Chicago....1960...'nuff said.
Ted Cruz is doing the typical sleazy lawyer things to win. A lawyer defends a guy knowing full well he's a murderer/tax cheat/racketeer/rapist/etc. and tries to get him off on a technicality like the search warrant said you could only search the house for the knife he used to stab his victim 30 times, not the detached shed. That's how Ted Cruz plans to win. He's using his sleazy lawyer bag of tricks and trying to win on a technicality. Then he celebrates his victory.
And real estate developers buy real estate dirt cheap from poor farmers and distressed small business owners, often based on insider info from their political pals, hire illegal immigrants to build barely to code units that they dress up with fancy finishes before they sell them for 50% more than they're worth to unsuspecting buyers. How is that not far sleazier than any defense lawyer? Especially since anybody charged with a crime has the constitutional right to legal counsel.
Gotta love this hyperbole.
Worse than Charles Manson?
And no, Colorado isn't another very white state.
But the GOP is very conservative here.
Odd, I thought that was how people wanted their Republican leaders.
Seriously, though, why should Colorado have handed Trump the nomination?
He couldn't be bothered to even show up and campaign.
Trump supporters labor under a sense of entitlement. He is at barely 40 percent within his own party, he has yet to win even one state with a majority, but he is entitled to the delegates in a state he didn't even bother to show up in nonetheless. It's a good illustration of the disconnect between Trumpettes and reality. I suspect when they run headlong into reality later this year it's going to knock them on their asses. Should be fun to watch.
It would be nice if Trump supporters and Sanders supporters could get together and vote for a consensus candidate in the general. Someone pledging to fix our broken electoral process. We can put our economic and social differences aside and get back to that when we have a government that actually represents voters.
The Republicans are screwing Trump out of his nomination by making a mockery of their primary process, deliberately trying to keep the primary a 3 man race by keeping in a contestant who's still in 4th place in a 3 man race, who's won 1 contest so far out of two thirds of the states, and with no mathematical chance to win. The fact that their primary still has some winner-takes-all states and some proportional states is insanely undemocratic.
The Democrats screwed Sanders a long time ago by erasing all mention of him to protect their frontrunner. The first dem debate (Oct 13th) happened literally AFTER many states' registration deadlines for voting in the primary (New York - Oct 9th). So anyone on the dem side who learned who Sanders was who wasn't registered to vote in the primaries at that point was disenfranchised in a lot of states. Clinton will take that to the bank and win all the east coast states with closed primaries--dark blue states that Sanders would probably win if the states had open primaries and allowed voters to register right up to the deadline. Most of these states have primaries that don't matter in most years; things are usually settled by the time these states vote, hence why many people didn't care whether they were registered as a democrat to vote in them.
Nah, political parties change and can be changed. When this is all said & done either the GOP or the DNC will be torn apart by the end of 2016.
You simply make argument for the "establishment" & career politicians beholding to the "donor class" that a large portion of the electorate is now against.
i.e. You prefer for the donor class to pick your candidate and you get to "pretend" that you had a choice in the matter in November.
Numerous Trumplets' concern for the Democratic Party is touching ...NOT. Just because the GOP is in the toilet, doesn't mean that the Democrats are, too. In fact, Trumplets are far more "outraged" about the Dems' super delegate system than any Democrat, even Bernie's supporters, probably because anger and outrage is Trump's weapon of choice, and good little brainwashed cretins that the Trumplets are, they follow his lead.
I also never realized that the "solution" to politicians being "beholden to the donor class" was to skip the politician part totally and just elect a member of "the donor class" directly. How is Donald Trump, a billionaire real estate developer born to a millionaire real estate developer and with a long record of big contributions to numerous NYC politicians, anything but a member of the "donor class" himself????

spoken like the true liberal democrat that you are.....since when you speak for all democrats and Bernie Supporters?
Democrats are in the toilet....if it wasn't for Bernie who isn't even a Democrat, the Democrat primary would be dull and boring since nobody is excited for Hillary.
