Matt Drudge: ‘Hello Colorado Republicans, even Iraqis get a vote’

Washington, DC

Matt Drudge is weighing in on the results in Colorado, where Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) received at least 30 of the 37 delegates following the state Republican Party Convention last weekend.

“Does George Bush have to invade Colorado to make it a Democracy? STUNNING Republicans had NO PRIMARY or CAUCUS. At least Dems are faking it!” Drudge posted on Twitter.

Hello Colorado Republicans, even Iraqis get a vote!

8:48 AM - 11 Apr 2016

When Republican party leaders decided not to hold a primary or caucus in Colorado, The Denver Post reported:

The Colorado system often favors anti-establishment candidates who draw a dedicated following among activists — as evidenced by Rick Santorum’s victory in 2012 caucus. So the party’s move may hurt GOP contenders such as Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who would have received a boost if they won the state.

During a campaign rally on Monday night, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump called Colorado “a fix” because instead of holding an election, the GOP decided to do it through delegates.

During a campaign rally on Monday night, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump called Colorado “a fix” because instead of holding an election, the GOP decided to do it through delegates.

Trump's right: It's completely a fix - a naked, sordid, corrupt fix.

But the beauty this time is that, no matter what, the Republicans will not get away with it in the end.

This time, one of two things will happen:

(1) The Establishment will play its games, but Trump will win the nomination anyway, and then, as President and head of the party, he will politically massacre the elements of the Republican Party that stood against him, forcibly exclude them from power and decision-taking, etc. If Trump wins, the Establishment will be wiped out by the new rulers of the GOP. OR

(2) The Establishment will get its way, Trump will be robbed of the nomination, and then the Republican nominee, whoever it is, will go down in flaming defeat in November. In the political rebellion that will ensure, the Republicans will lose Congress, the Democrats will sweep, and then, with control of Congress AND the Supreme Court, the Democrats will enact their entire agenda and take away the wealth of the top Republican donors through a combination of taxation and regulation.

No matter what, the Establishment and their crony capitalist financiers are going to get wiped out of power. The only question is whether it will be substantial, through Trump, or irreversible, through the Democrats.

I'd prefer Trump, but if no Trump, Hillary will do also. The Republicans have put themselves in the position of Hitler and Nazi Germany - they are so odious they must be wiped out. The only question is whether it will come from the civilized West (Trump and his reformers) or the Soviet Union (Stalin and his reformers). Either way, there is no scenario the end of which as the current Republican power brokers still in power.

The people of Colorado never had a vote . They had a non-binding straw poll that the party correctly determined was a waste of money and time. All the candidates had the same opportunity to influence the process equally at the district and state level . Trump was a no show . So now he whines like a liberal 'Waaaaaa waaaaaaa ....it's not fair '! Is it fair that he did not get a majority in Florida and yet walked away with all the delegates in the 'winner takes all ' format ? This is why real candidates take a year or more to put their organizations in place before they announce.

Well, sort of.

Members of our caucus precinct met in a classroom at the local High School.

Everybody who wanted to be a delegate put their name on the board.

Each delegate candidate was given an opportunity to speak and we noted who they'd support/vote for at the convention.

Then we wrote our delegate choices on slips of paper and the votes were tallied.

The winners were the folks who then went on to the state convention - and who then chose among themselves Colorado's delegates for the national convention.

It's an odd process, but it's not accurate to say "the people didn't get to vote".

We did have a straw poll FWIW - Cruz 22 Trump 6.

I live in CO and the CO REP Party did not provide me and every other person that may have been inclined to vote in the state party's party a chance to vote for the candidate of my choice.........period....end of story.....over and out. If that isn't a system that says f*ck you to the voter nothing is.

Yes, minus the bullshit being spun, it is, by design, a system that says f*ck you to the voter.

The system went around the voter becuase if there were a vote of the people, it would have been mandatory to bind the delegates for the first round of the convention in accord with the vote of the people.

They couldn't have that, so they created a system where they could select delegates with no regard for the will of the people. They can then just lie about what they did. Their only problem is Trump (and now Drudge) is telling everybody what they did.

These caucuses are private events by a private party, the Republican party of Colorado.

Voters have no right to intrude on a private party's functions.

The voters will, as always, be entitled to participate in the election which will be held, as always, in November.

Primaries and caucuses are not elections. They are private party events. In most states, the parties do allow the public to participate. In some states, they are closed (Republicans-only), partially-open (to Republicans and indies) , or fully open (to Republicans, Dems, indies). In others, they have caucuses which are private party events.
