According to this Donald Trump Supporter in Colorado Springs he was denied access to his Colorado State Caucus because he is a Trump supporter. Brew Ski on YouTube goes on to say he is a delegate and was threatened to have his vote nullified and replaced by an alternate “of their choosing” to which FidoSysop sez is BS!
Update 04/11/2016 Larry Lindsey said on Facebook:
I have been inundated with emails, texts and phone calls, both yesterday and today – so much so that I cannot keep up with it all!
I am going to be interviewed this afternoon by NBC News (national), tomorrow morning by MSNBC (national), and tomorrow afternoon, live on Fox New’s Varney and Company. And there are a slew of local radio talk shows, local TV news and national blogs who are wanting interviews with me!
Not sure how I am going to be able to fit everyone in, but I am going to try!
Colorado GOP, you started this, now I am going to finish it!
You Go Larry! Give Em HELL!
Larry Lindsey is the public voice of the American Citizens that are sick and tired of these CROOKS That Are Running Our Country Into The Ground!! These Crooked Politicians are selling out America, or should i say Have SOLD OUT AMERICA!
Enough Is Enough! We Support Donald Trump For President! If the RNC Cheats Trump2016 out of the nomination for whatever reason, I believe we will see a revolt like nothing this country has ever seen before! đĄ
In this video Larry Lindsey burns his Republican Party Registration Papers!
It is up to “We The People” to chose who we feel is a good choice for us. Not the establishment choosing for us. This situation must be illegal.
Hopefully appropriate charges are filed for voter fraud and manipulation in Colorado Springs, and Elsewhere if it occurred or occurs in the future.
Just my two cents worth as usual.. đ

Former CO GOP Chair: Message We’re Sending Is “Your Vote Doesn’t Matter And Your Voice Doesn’t Count”
Former Colorado state Republican party chairman Ryan Call talked to
Laura Ingraham today to explain the delegation-selection process works
and how it “cuts out any semblance of democracy or the popular will.”
Call said the statewide convention that chooses the delegates reinforces
all the worst stereotypes of the party.
Ingraham: The August 25th announcement that they would no longer do the
presidential preference poll at their caucus, my spidey-senses went up
when that happened. Was I correct to, at the time, note that this was a
sign that they were not going to be bound by the people of Colorado
selecting Trump. If that was a risk, they wanted to cut that off at the
pass in August. Am I correct in stating that?
Call: Thatâs exactly right. While the caucus votes weâve held in
previous elections in 2008 and 2012 were always straw polls, they didnât
bind or allocate the delegations. They at least were a snapshot into
where voter sentiment is in the state of Colorado, and the decision by
the state Republican Party to cancel that vote taken in connection with
the caucus really did cut out any semblance of democracy or the popular
will in connection with the delegate election event. It became an entire
party insiders game with getting delegates to go to county assemblies
in the state convention. While Colorado has over a million registered
Republican voters, the only votes that really counted were that of the
3,900 delegates that gathered down in Colorado Springs.
Ingraham: How do you become a delegate in Colorado? Does it tend to be
more people who are activists within the Party? Is there a Tea Party
element? How does that play out?
Call: So, Colorado has a lot of different elements. Tea Party elements,
strong second amendment and pro-life supporters, itâs a very diverse
coalition. And, lots of factions are involved in the Party. But, the
process to become a delegate, to be able to have your voice heard in the
process, is admittedly cumbersome, convoluted, complicated, and not
friendly to folks that are political novices or are new at this process.
You would have had to show up at your local neighborhood caucuses back
in March, March 1st, and sit through two or three hour meetings, get
elected from among your neighbors at the local neighborhood precinct
caucus to go attend a county assembly. Then, from the county assembly,
you had to convince the few hundred or a thousand of delegates at the
county assembly to move you on to attend the congressional district, or
state convention process. Then, you had to show up at the state
convention and, as has been widely reported, you had ten seconds to make
your pitch to the 3,900 delegates at the state assembly of why they
should elect you to go to Cleveland.
Ingraham: At a time where the Republicans are so fractured, and it
really is for the most part an anti-Establishment mood within the
Party, thatâs why Rubio went down in flames, thatâs why Jeb couldnât get
any traction, thatâs why Kasich is still lower in delegate count than
Rubio. These outsiders as theyâre called are still managing to capture
the imagination and the spirit of the people, but if at the end of all
this people just have an overall sense that, if youâre a Republican
voter and you vote it doesnât matter that much, how much damage do you
think that will do to the Republican brand or reputation going forward?
Call: That is a great observation, and itâs a concern I feel
overwhelmingly as well. The very time we should be opening up our doors
and being more open and transparent, and welcoming people into our
Party, weâve essentially made the decision to close it off and make it
more cumbersome and more difficult. And, to prevent the ability of
people to have their voice heard in this process. Youâre reinforcing all
of the very worst stereotypes about the Party and I, frankly, am very
concerned about the way voters are going to feel. In a swing state like
Colorado, for example, even if Ted Cruz or Donald Trump ultimately
become the nominee for President, while weâve been able to make our
pitch to the 3,900 delegates at the state convention, there’s million
registered Republicans that havenât been talked to and thereâs almost a
million and a half unaffiliated voters, independent voters, that are key
to deciding the contest in the battleground state and we havenât done
any work in a state like Colorado to build the campaign infrastructure
to engage them or allow their voices to be heard. So, the message weâre
sending to voters broadly the way this process is going is that your
vote doesnât matter and your voice doesnât count.

The Republican party is a mess when it comes to their determination to bury Trump. From slanderous ads to manipulating the delegate process.
This is all about corruption. Fraud. And this is about denying Americans the right to choose our next president!
Ted Cruz allegedly swept Colorado but HOW did he do it? With a little help from his friends. Unbelievable.
Check this out. First of all Politico reports that moments after announcing that Ted Cruz had swept all 34 delegate slots at the Colorado GOP convention Saturday, the state party tweeted: âWe did it. #NeverTrumpâ
