Exposed: Cruz Delegates Squashed Initiative to Restore the Colorado Primary


Strange things are afoot in the Colorado election process, with Cruz delegates, voting to crush an initiative that would have allowed Coloradans the ability to vote in a state primary.  Why would the sponsor of the bill, Sen. Kevin Grantham, vote against it?

“The caucuses guarantee lackluster voter participation and the disproportionate influence of activists on both ends of the political spectrum who are not representative of the parties’ mainstream. Some romanticize the caucus system as the purest form of grass-roots democracy, but that’s only accurate if your idea of democracy involves excruciatingly low turnout — by design.”

One life-long Republican from Colorado demonstrated his angst toward the party by burning up his party registration card and sharing it with the world, via YouTube, reported Truth and Action.

However, not everybody is pleased with the methods the Cruz campaign resorted to to defeat Trump in Colorado. One delegate who was unceremoniously removed from his position after voting for Trump made as much clear in a video.

After identifying himself as a lifelong Republican, the man can be seen lighting his party registration on fire before declaring he will never be one again.

With Cruz supporters celebrating the Colorado victory with copious amounts of Trump taunting tweets and triumphant cyber high-fiving,  Breitbart called it a “”voterless victory” made possible by the state senators who had killed the primary election initiative.

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed last week, Trump addressed the Colorado controversy. Trump said that delegates are “supposed to reflect the decisions of voters.” Indeed, for many years now, delegates have largely been seen as an honorary position for Party loyalists and household names in local districts. Yet in recent months, there has been increasing discussion about serious efforts to recruit “Trojan horse delegates,” who would cast off their honorary titles and actually choose a nominee based on their own personal whims.

Republican party leaders are desperate to paint their “rules” in Colorado as some kind of masterpiece of political machinery.  The fact that some insiders and no-life activists spent copious amounts of time cooking up rules to foil real voters does not lend a veneer of credibility to a process that is laughably corrupt and most definitely stacked against an actual electorate, explained Truth and Action.

Trump declared, “My campaign strategy is to win with the voters. Ted Cruz’s campaign strategy is to win despite them.”
