Donald Trump is furious over losing to Ted Cruz in Colorado. Of the 37 Republican delegates up for grabs in Colorado, 3 are party leaders, 21 were elected at district conventions, while another 13 were elected over this past weekend at the Colorado State Republican Convention. According to the Denver Post, each of the 34 elected delegates is supporting Ted Cruz.
Donald Trump’s reaction Monday morning on Fox News was to label the Colorado process a “crooked deal” and to claim that Coloradans “weren’t given a vote.” Trump either fundamentally doesn’t understand the process of becoming the Republican nominee or, more likely, is attempting to stoke the emotions of his followers and push a false victim-based narrative. I was at a precinct-level Colorado caucus, and Mr. Trump, I voted.
