Trump on Colorado: ‘What kind of a system is this?’

Trump told Fox News Monday morning that delegates should be doled out based on who actually wins votes, after Colorado declined to hold their presidential straw poll in favor of the convention. The billionaire also argued that what took place is not “how democracy is supposed to work,” before he openly wondered “what kind of a system is this?”

“They’re going absolutely crazy because they weren’t given a vote. This was given by politicians. It’s a crooked deal, and I see it,” Trump told “Fox and Friends.”

“I’ve gotten millions more votes. Millions. Not just a couple, millions of more votes than Cruz. And I’ve gotten hundreds of delegates more, and we keep fighting, fighting, fighting and then you have a Colorado where they frankly, where they just get all of these delegates, and it’s not a system,” Trump said. “There was no voting. I didn’t go out there to make a speech or anything. There’s no voting. I heard Pete say, well that’s the way it is. Well, that really shouldn’t be the way it is. This was changed in the summer to help a guy like Cruz and it’s not right.”

“That’s not the way democracy is supposed to work,” Trump continued. “They offer them trips, they offer them all sorts of things, and you’re allowed to do that. I mean, you’re allowed to offer trips and you can buy all these votes. What kind of a system is this?”

The GOP front-runner also lamented that fellow candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders is losing even though he’s won a string of races over the past month. Trump blamed it on a “rigged system.”

“I’m an outsider and I came into the system and I’m winning the votes by millions of votes, but the system is rigged. It’s crooked,” Trump said. “When you look even at Bernie, I’m not a fan of Bernie, but every time I turn on your show, Bernie wins, Bernie wins. and yet Bernie’s not winning. I mean it’s a rigged system.”
