The Colorado Republican Party forbids any of its delegates to the Republican National Convention to vote for Donald Trump for president or vice president on the first ballot or any other ballot, and
The Colorado Republican Party asks its delegates to national convention to pledge on their honor to do everything in their power to help secure the presidential nomination for someone other than Donald Trump.
Delegates who supported Trump in Colorado were apparently removed from the roster and replaced. This delegate has been a life long Republican who accuses the GOP of stealing the election.
Do you have a real source for this, or just Youtube? Trump lost because he never bothered to even go to Colorado.
And actually, it appears that Trump is the one willing to use underhanded tactics to get delegates. His new henchman claims Cruz used 'Gestapo tactics' but has no examples, then implied he's willing to bribe delegates.
"...But Manafort, who has advised republican presidential campaigns going back to Pres. Gerald Ford, would not outline the rules he is playing by either. When pressed on whether paying for a delegate's golf membership or trip to the convention was in the realm possibility he answered, "Well, there's the law, and then there's ethics, and then there's getting votes. I'm not going to get into what tactics are used."
Lol. Stop trolling. So far 72% of Republican voters have voted against Cruz. He will never be the nominee.
call it anyway you want: chances are your guy won't either. But don't you think you need to think about what a TROLL really is before saying someone is trolling?
Marco Rubio is a conservative ? You really do need to get out more ...
Marco certainly is a conservative. You know a person can lean one way or another on an issue or two and still be seen as conservative, libertarian or left. If you don't think he is a conservative what would you call Trump?
If anyone is buying delegates I think it is safe to say it is Trump, but I have no idea what is going on. I do understand and I think the Trump supporters need to start thinking about this as well: his chances of getting the 1237 are becoming less likely every primary or caucus and if he doesn't go to the convention with enough votes to win on the first ballot he will not get the nomination. Blame the establishment, the insiders, Rove, FOX, the Koch brothers or whomever: it isn't going to make any difference. It seems every time something doesn't go his way, he and his supporters find a way of blaming others.
Yes--that is why he hired his new "Washington insider".
It is illegal to bribe delegates. But they can 'sort of' bribe them. There's no doubt that Trump will attempt to buy them.
"...The three remaining candidates are identifying these delegates, researching their proclivities and beginning to cajole them. The law surrounding them is so unclear that Trump could conceivably fly them to Florida for a weekend of luxuriating at Mar-a-Lago, his gold-adorned and palm-lined private club -- where, naturally, they could be subjected to personal lobbying to support Trump.
Brookover did not rule out the Trump campaign entertaining delegates at one of Trump's properties or paying for their travel costs to Cleveland. But he added: "You certainly can't offer anything which would be considered a bribe. We can't give them $100,000."

He will never be president. Best he can hope for is to be Republican nominee. As I said, get used to saying Madam President. Trump is the single best thing to happen to her campaign.
Good thing sanity prevailed and Republicans nominated McCain and Romney. No telling what Obama would have done to the country.
There will be so many more people doing this. For the first time ever I'm now an independent and it feels great, like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest. Good luck GOP, I'm voting democrat in local elections this year to protest your stupidity.
