Crooked Cruz strikes again. He has no chance in November if they would even let a nutcase like him be the nominee.

Money talks. People listen.

Trump keeps blaming his failures on Cruz. What a coward!

You imply that cruz is crooked because the guy didn't bother to know what he needed to do to become a delegate for the state convention. At best, that is... inaccurate. Cruz had nothing to do with the idiot not getting the message. If he was such an active party dude, and wanted to be a delegate so badly, he should have been up to date on what was required. That was his failure, nobody else is responsible for him, certainly not cruz.

They're not trying to suppress likely Pub voters.

You do realize that in Colorado, it was not a primary? It was not an attempt to suppress voting. Their delegate selection process has been in place for quite awhile, and wasn't just drummed up to tick off trump. If those people who are members of the republican party in Colorado didn't like how it worked, they would have changed it long before now.

Political savvy is needed to do well in the primary season, and a candidate who understands that is in a better position to win than one who doesn't. Whining and calling it crooked

Angry Donald Trump blasts Colorado GOP results as "totally unfair" - The Denver Post

is certainly not putting trump in a good light down the road for further primaries and the convention. It also reflects a significant failure to understand and act within the rules - something trump just can't seem to grasp.

trump's own children forgot to change their voter registration to republican before the recent deadline

Donald Trump children unable to vote for dad in NY primary - CNNPolitics.com

(what? have they never registered to vote? are they registered as democrats?) in NY to vote for their father. Attention to details matter, folks!
That convention in Cleveland will likely be VERY entertaining.

No matter which way the GOP stumbles, it looks like a LOT of chickens are coming home to roost.

Should be a very amusing fall campaign.

They concede that Lindsey was indeed duly elected as a delegate at his precinct caucus. But in his county, precinct caucuses don’t elect delegates to the state convention; they elect delegates to the county caucus. That’s the one Lindsey was supposed to attend. It’s the county caucus that elects the delegates to the state convention, and then the state convention elects delegates to the national convention in July. According to state party officials, Lindsey apparently never showed up at the county caucus so he couldn’t have been elected to the state convention.



Maybe Don needs a new slogan

GUMP 2016
OH, I see. No wonder he's a Trump fan, he operates under the same notion that there are rules are for ordinary men and special rules for him.

So, whose fault is it that he doesn't get to be a delegate? That's right, his.

Hmmm ... I could be wrong about this, but these are 3 of your 4 posts in this thread (which you started) and I am beginning to think that you have an unhealthy fixation on The Donald. You might want to consider some anger management to keep your blood pressure down. You might also want to regularly use your prayer rug and pray that The Donald does not win either the nomination nor the general election ... someone told me that heart attacks, along with being quite painful tend to be fatal.

Just a thought.

Default Kirstie Alley - Why Vote for GOP if outcome is Rigged?

I had no idea that Kristie Alley was a Republican.

Apparently, like millions of others, she's against the rigged system that's giving Ted Cruz delegates that he didn't earn by the vote. If anything else, Donald Trump & Bernie Sanders have brought out into the light how the "donor class" picks the candidates.

Why does it come as such a surprise to rank and file Republicans that their party has contempt for democracy? What do you think voter ID laws are about. The Grand Old Plutocracy is an elite, billionaire club. For decades they've convinced bubba and bobo to vote them tax cuts, generous government subsidies and zero penalties for sending American jobs overseas by stoking their feat and hatred of "guvmint" and by saying "Jesus" now and then. You don't think that means they like you though, do you? Your role is to sit down, shut up and go along with the program.

Excuse me? It would appear this issue plagues both parties and at the moment it looks to be far larger problem for the Democrats.

Not a double standard, an answer based on your question and the NY rule for awarding delegates.
Your words, not mine.
