Let Me Ask America a Question

How has the ‘system’ been working out for you and your family? No wonder voters demand change.

On Saturday, April 9, Colorado had an “election” without voters. Delegates were chosen on behalf of a presidential nominee, yet the people of Colorado were not able to cast their ballots to say which nominee they preferred.

A planned vote had been canceled. And one million Republicans in Colorado were sidelined.

In recent days, something all too predictable has happened: Politicians furiously defended the system. “These are the rules,” we were told over and over again. If the “rules” can be used to block Coloradans from voting on whether they want better trade deals, or stronger borders, or an end to special-interest vote-buying in Congress—well, that’s just the system and we should embrace it.

Let me ask America a question: How has the “system” been working out for you and your family?

Trump needs a chance to clean up the mess we're in. If I lived in Colorado, I would be really pissed.

Trump's a bigger part of the system than anyone else in the race. Bigger than even Hillary.

The one world government is coming together in front of our eyes.

The states still have the right to decide their election rules. For Colorado it was decided last summer. There was no collusion to exclude Trump. The deal maker was shown how unsavy he was in understanding the rules and pouted like a child. How will he do up against Putin or China when playing world chess?

" If I lived in Colorado, I would be really pissed."

You live in the United States, I presume? If so, that is the contest going on, not President of Colorado. You should be really pissed at this, and now Wyoming just did the same thing except there WAS an election that Cruz was third TO TRUMP'S #1 WIN!

Other states are caving to the establishment party (you know, the ONE that goes by two names, R/D).

ALL real Americans should be "really pissed" and get prepared to take this election back starting NOW!

If you are pissed, so sorry, but you are a little late to the party. The time to have done something about how your State structures its election has passed, get involved for the next go round before the fact.
