Who's he going to work with in a state where the Republican leadership handed the nomination to Cruz without a vote?Originally Posted by Martinjmpr
That fact alone should boost his turnout in November more than any TV ads.
Does anyone pay attention to TV ads anymore?
Lets not forget the RNC tossing Glen aside.
You either support ALL CANDIDATES or none. This cherry picking who they support money wise is bullshit. One more reason this election cycle will be the death of the R party.

Also saw this on the news, while HRC pulled all funding from Colorado.

Led by Regina Thompson - delegate from Colorado
Anti-Trump Republicans are preparing to launch a broadcast TV ad in a handful of swing-state suburbs urging Donald Trump to quit the presidential race so the party can replace him with a more electable nominee.
The ad, titled “Keep Your Word,” features footage of Trump during the Republican primary in which he suggested he’d drop out if he saw his poll numbers decline…
..The 30-second spot is marked for a limited run on broadcast networks in suburban Florida, Virginia, Ohio and Michigan, according to Regina Thomson, a Colorado Republican activist and leader of Free the Delegates, the organization that failed to stop Trump’s nomination at last month’s national convention. All four states are central to Trump’s path to the White House, though he’s trailing in most polls of those states.
The ad is backed by a five-figure buy, according to Thomson, but the group hopes to eventually expand its run to Fox News Channel.
You need to stop perpetuating this lie. Colorado had a caucus and has for quite some time. Nobody accused Colorado of not having a vote before this year, even though, at the core, caucuses in years past operated much the same.
The people who showed up to caucus had their voices heard and the majority opinions at each caucus elected delegates whom supported the same candidate as them.
No, there were no binding votes, but that point is moot. The delegates voted for the majority opinion caucus goers by proxy at the convention. Thats how the system is setup.
You think the caucus and convention issue will boost voter turnout? The system didn't motivate Trump supporters to bother to show up to caucus, so I'm not so sure that will be a motivator to turn out for the general either.
But here's the kicker. The caucuses sent Cruz supporting delegates to the convention, but because their votes were not bound, they had the freedom to vote for Trump. Very few made that choice however because Trump flat out ignored our state...he didnt even bother to show up. He didn't get Colorado delegates because he didn't earn them.
You want a vote? Show up to the caucus next time or start a petition to change back to a primary.
So full of fail, I don't even know where to start.
Here's one of the better articles explaining the last minute changes made for the 2016 primary season. You know, the one where they took the vote away from the people of Colorado:

The move makes Colorado the only state so far to forfeit a role in the early nomination process, according to political experts, but other caucus states are still considering how to adapt to the new rule.
“It takes Colorado completely off the map” in the primary season, said Ryan Call, a former state GOP chairman.
Republicans still will hold precinct caucus meetings in early 2016 to begin the process of selecting delegates for the national convention — but the 37 delegates are not pledged to any specific candidate.How bout starting a "Cruz for President 2016" thread. I'm sure it will be enlightening.For Republicans, no declared winner means the caucus will lack much of its hype. The presidential campaigns still may try to win delegate slots for their supporters, but experts say the move makes it less likely that candidates will visit Colorado to court voters.
Cruz is going to lose his seat in Texas to Perry. Followed by much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The icing on the cake will be when President Trump gets him deported back to Canada.

Start a petition? I thought that was what I-140 is all about, unless I am misunderstanding you?
The Presidential Primary Election Initiative (I-140) Initiative 140 would restore presidential primary elections held before the end of March and make them open in Colorado. Currently, Colorado utilizes a closed primary system, in which only registered party members may participate in a party's primary. However, unaffiliated voters may choose to affiliate with a party on Election Day in order to vote in that party's primary.
Open primaries is how Trump stole the nomination in the first place. How many of the new voters he "pulled" into the Republican party to vote in the primaries will vote Republican in the General? I'm a damned independent and I have no business selecting who the Republican or Democrat nominees should be unless I'm willing to join their parties. In Colorado, you don't even have to join until the primary and you can swap back out almost immediately. Having said all that, I'm at least as disgusted with so-called Republicans or conservatives who continue the anti-Trump BS after the convention as I was with the pro-Trump people who threatened to take their toys and stay home or vote third party if he didn't get the nomination.
Hillary Clinton is absolutely the worst possible selection for the future of the Republic and if you don't get that after her 30+ years of documented corruption and misbehavior, you don't deserve to claim to be a constitutionalist or a conservative. The country is where it is today in part because TR (one of the most pro-American presidents of all time and one of my top 5 favorites) chose to oppose Taft in 1912 and gave the election to Wilson. Over a century later, we appear to be ready to repeat that disaster. I respected the hell out of Ross Perot as a man but he and his supporters basically gave the 1992 AND 1996 elections to Bill Clinton, resulting in today's corruption of the civil service system and the departments of Justice, Treasury, and State.
