Almost a year ago, four Colorado Republican Senators killed an initiative that would restore the presidential primary in 2016. Since 2003, Colorado has used a caucus process to nominate the presidential candidate. By cancelling the presidential primary, the state saved an estimated $2.2 million, but why would four Republicans choose to squash this initiative, sponsored by one of their own?
The initiative, introduced to restore the primary system, as reported by the Denver Post said, “Under the bill, Colorado would have held a presidential primary in March that ran parallel with the state’s complicated caucus system… when it came before the Senate Appropriations Committee, four Republicans voted to kill the bill with three Democrats supporting it.”
Sen. Kevin Grantham, who sponsored the bill, then voted against it. He is also a Cruz delegate.
The shenanigans in Colorado demonstrate the dirty business that is politics. Truth and Action report:
This election cycle has been a particularly odd one, and the front runner for the Republican party is outsider and non-politician Donald Trump. That is not to say that Trump has been above his own set of dirty tricks, he has masterfully played the press, his opposition, and the public. One does not become a wealthy developer in New York City without gaining skills in the rough and tumble of business and negotiating.
One of the main reasons that Trump has gained traction is that Mr. Average Citizen is sick and tired of the games and cronyism that Establishment Republicans have been playing for years, leaving the average citizen in the lurch and keeping Wall Street and their political friends in the money. So it seems that finally average Republicans will have a say in who runs the show. But wait, not so fast!

What a arrogant evil fraud. Voting for Cruz is like voting for$#%&!@*
Cruz is an over rated Cuban, Canadian born THUG. He reminds me of Obama. As or being Mr, Constitution, just LOOK at what CRUZ and his “delegates” are doing – trying to ERASE the VOTER! How is THAT “Constitutional?” That’s a tyrant. Every state has their own state Constitution and he violated Colorado’s state Constitution too with his LAWLESSNESS!
CRUZ is a two faced liar. HE voted FOR TPP and that gives away our sovereignty. How is THAT Constitutional? Yes voting FOR TPP allows OTHER Countries to over rule U.S. through a vote. Where was CRUZ on the ongoing money devaluation by China? SILENT!
Cruz is a glorified THUG that doesn’t meet the definition of “natural born” to even RUN for President! Do you really believe Cruz just discovered he had DUAL CITIZENSHIP with Canada where he was born in 2015?
NOW what are CRUZ and his delegtes up to now after TRUMP won fair and square with no buying or bribing delegates behind the scene? He’s trying to get The RULES committee to CHANGE the RULES to have delegates vote for HIM and AGAIN, BYPASS the VOTERS! The convention delegates have ALWAYS been obligated to VOTE for the winner of their state. Trump has exceeded the delegate number and won the popular vote and brought out MORE voters in GOP history and CRUZ us still trying to IGNORE the VOTER. Cruz is WORSE than Obama and Hillary out together, He has NO respect for the VOTER or the RULE OF LAW!
Keep digging and find out all the dirt behind the scenes!
There ya go has to cheat to win and is still losing. Ted Cruz is just more of the same ol washington bull.
