Colorado Protests Stolen Delegates

This whole thing was so obviously criminal.

It’s incredible it isn’t getting more attention than it’s getting.

They literally told these people “no, sorry – you can’t vote.”

The Hill:

Supporters of Donald Trump gathered in Colorado on Friday to protest the outcome of a presidential convention that did not award the businessman a single delegate.

Several dozen people were seen on social media showing up to take part in the rally on the steps of the state capitol in Denver, in what organizers described as a repudiation of Colorado’s delegate process.

“The process is very confusing. It’s also designed to discourage voter participation. They don’t want a lot of people to show up,” Erin Behrens, a lead organizer of the gathering, told The Hill in a phone interview.

Behrens, a 28-year-old mother of three who described herself as an entrepreneur, said she has felt “betrayed” by the party.

“Donald Trump is not part of that system. He’s outside of it. He’s the candidate who potentially could fulfill the promises that the Republican Party [makes],” Behrens said.

Trump supporters called for a binding straw poll in Colorado after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) last week took all 34 delegates up for grabs in the state where Trump’s campaign did not have a robust operation.

The businessman has been lashing out at a “rigged” GOP primary system since Cruz swept the state, which voted last year to skip a presidential preference poll for a series of caucus-type meetings leading up to a convention.

Organizers were expecting upwards of 1,000 people at Friday’s protest, with nearly 500 indicating on a Facebook page set up for the event that they would attend, though local reports indicated closer to 100 attended.

Protest organizers said they were pushing for reforms to the GOP nominating process in Colorado and for the state to transition to a simpler primary system, something leaders of both state parties have indicated they support.

“We’re planning to get something rolled out next week to say that we support the idea of a presidential primary,” Steve House, the Colorado GOP chairman, told The Hill on Friday afternoon after meeting with leadership in both parties in the state legislature.

There were clearly several hundred people at the protest.

Note that not a single person showed up to say “I’m happy the government took away my vote and just decided to give me Ted Cruz.”

The people want Trump.
