"""Larry Wayne Lindsey is a Republican voter from Douglas County. Lindsey, an enthusiastic supporter of Donald Trump, posted videos to social media this weekend after he showed up at the state assembly and was told he wasn't registered to attend. He had no evidence that he was a delegate, but claimed that he was being disenfranchised. Even worse, in the video he seems to claim that he was specifically turned away because he was going to vote for Trump.
In fact, according to a series of conversations with party officials, while Lindsey did show up to his precinct caucus and was elected as a delegate to the county assembly, he never showed up to the county assembly, or, at the very least, never signed in for his credentials. On Facebook, he erroneously claimed he'd been elected as a delegate to the state assembly from his precinct caucus, something that is not possible under the rules in Douglas County.
"Since Mr. Lindsey did not attend the County District Assembly he was not elected to be a delegate to the State Assembly, nor could he have been, so there is no way that he would have been listed as a delegate to the State Convention when he tried to check in on Saturday morning," Tanne Blackburn, chairman of the Douglas County Republican Party, explained in a press release."""
And now you know.....the rest of the story.

So Larry Wayne Lindsey makes a claim some mean ole lady took his name off the voting role.
I call horse manure with his claim.
Sounds like Mr Lindsey just didn't register to vote in the new system.

So Larry is busy posting away on FB. He hasn't addressed the comments from the CO GOP saying he wasn't elected as a state delegate.
He posted about the many interview requests he's been getting from MSNBC, FoxNews and others. Hope they call him out on his dishonesty.
Dude wanted his 15 minutes, but I bet he's going to regret it shortly.

We'll wait to hear the rest of the story. But if he is right it still will not matter to you.
The fact that you naïve Cruz supporters actually believe he is prevailing on his own with these delegates is astounding. The establishment's reach is long and far and does reach locals GOP committees. Delegates are being instructed to back Cruz now but will dump him later. He and Trump will join forces to save this nation. You and a couple of others will pout, continue to bask in your self righteousness, and sit out the election while millions of others will do the right thing and support the Trump/Cruz ticket. Both candidates will have to eat some crow and swallow some pride. But that is the point. They will swallow their pride. You and your band will not. But who needs you guys anyway? Those who sit out the election because Cruz decided to join Trump won't fill a conference room at Denny's.

Yes, the vast establishment conspiracy.
Cruz didn't win Colorado by having a network in place and ready to work the local, county and state events. Nor did Trump lose due to his ignorance of the primary process, lack of people on the ground or any resources.
Nope, it's all because of the great, vast establishment conspiracy.

Yes,Trump could have been more on top of things. But maybe he took for granted that this would be a normal election. Maybe it did not dong on him that Colorado changed the rules last Summer with him in mind. Keep laughing. Your laughter will be turned in mourning. You are just the type of person Stalin would have loved. What did he call them? I believe it was "useful..." Agh, the second part of the phrase escapes me at the moment.

One Trumpster used the word, "demoralized" when speaking of the Trump effort at the Colorado convention. He gave them no money. His chief of staff fired the Colorado manager days before the convention...for simply keeping in contact with Manafort. Then to add to the issue, Trump cancelled a speech to the convention delegates.
So Trump and his supporters can complain and lie that the CO GOP is crooked, but he only has himself to blame.
Also, if you look at why they changed the process, it was about more than just Trump. He was part but not the whole reason.

Perhaps. But remember, pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Trump and his ilk may find this out the hard way.

There you go again. And you were doing pretty good there for a day or two without lobbing a personal insult at me.
It's okay. Par for the course in dealing with Trump supporters. They, like their master, can't debate substance.

Larry Wayne Lindsey looks good for a guy now claiming to be three years into "terminal stage 4" cancer.
