“How on earth are you going to defeat ISIS if you can’t figure out the @cologop convention?” the Colorado senator tweeted.
Gardner took to Twitter unleashing a series of tweets blasting Trump for claiming that the Colorado delegate selection was a fix after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) swept nearly all the delegates at the state GOP convention: I've attended CO GOP conventions for years. It requires organization & attn to grassroots to win. Cruz had it. Trump didn't. End of story.

Darryl Glenn came out of nowhere to win @cologop convention for US Senate. That should be the story. Not @realDonaldTrump's temper tantrum.

.@tedcruz showed up to the @cologop convention. @realDonaldTrump only sent a surrogate. Cruz swept. Elections are won by those who show up.

Spoke to dozens of Trump supporters this weekend, listened to his surrogate speak twice, not 1 person complained abt process until he lost.

How can you protect Israel at the UN when you're completely baffled by the @cologop convention process? -CG #copolitics

If you cannot navigate the @cologop convention what is your plan for Putin? #copolitics

If you can't figure out the Colorado GOP delegate process how can you figure out how to balance the national budget?

I'm proud of the @cologop and Chairman Steve House for a fair and well run convention. Onward to victory. #copolitics

— Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) (@CoryGardner) April 12, 2016 Well, he would know since Gardner and every elected Republican in Colorado has been nominated and elected by the Colorado GOP via its caucus system which has been in place since 2004. When Trump attacks the CO caucus system, he is attacking the legitimacy of every elected Republican in the state. And every delegate from the state. The only thing that actually changed last year was they cancelled the non-binding caucus straw poll for president. Colorado has preferred unbound delegates and the RNC made a new rule last year that if you held any sort of vote for prez, you had to bind your delegates to them. So Colorado GOP just cancelled their "beauty pageant" straw poll since they wanted their delegates to remain unbound. Cruz did "win" Colorado by a certain measure but, technically, those are still unbound delegates on the first ballot. Good luck to Trump trying to pick up a single one of them. I've wondered if Trump might decide to challenge the outcome. I actually hope he does because it would open a huge can of worms that would backfire on his victories in other caucus states.
Then why not have a primary where the voters know that the delegates are unbound? We know why. Because the Colorado GOP is corrupt.

The rules are published and well-known to all. This has been in place since 2004. I'm not sure whether they bound their delegates in 2000 and in previous elections or not. I know that the CO GOP and Dims decided it cost too much to hold statewide primary votes for the public since it never resulted in them getting any attention from the candidates. CO has been frustrated for decades in its efforts to become a battleground state. So they just gave up on it and went to the caucus system. It is much cheaper.
Please tell me how "they" conspired to influence the delegates chosen by myself and my neighbors to represent us at our state convention?
