BREAKING: Colorado GOP Posts Delegate Candidates

  • 31 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

UPDATE: A reader counts ’em up:

Unpledged: 314
Ted Cruz: 102
Donald Trump: 62
Marco Rubio (dropout): 10
John Kasich: 5
Ben Carson (dropout): 4

elephantfightOur friend Jason Salzman broke the news earlier this week that the Colorado Republican Party would publish a roster of candidates to serve as delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio this coming July 18-21.

Here’s the full list of candidates from the Colorado GOP as published today. We haven’t done a count yet of the unpledged vs. pledged delegates, and who the pledged delegates are supporting, but Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are well represented. After the party’s widely-condemned decision to cancel the presidential preference poll at this year’s precinct caucuses, publishing this list of delegate candidates is meant to provide some measure of face-saving ahead of the state convention in Colorado Springs next month.

And hey, even though the Colorado GOP published all of these private cell phone numbers on the world wide interwebs, please don’t sign them up for condo timeshare pitches, advertise their numbers as phone sex hotlines, or give them to Nigerian scam artists.

Because that will probably take care of itself anyway.

  1. There are something like 3 pledged to Kasich (CHB, you should get your name in there), one for Ben Carson and at least 8 for Tiny Shiny Boots. Has anyone explained to these folk that Rubio dropped out last week? They're like the Japanese soldiers crawling out of caves on South Pacific islands in 1949 believing that the war was still going on and Japan doing well.

      1. Are family-value Republican the ones that want to deny basic health care and health insurance to poor people and women, or are they ones that think  immigrants are rapists and criminals. Maybe they are the ones that think all Muslims should have to register with the government, because that worked out great when Germany did that with the Jews. 

        1. Yes, that mutant strain of conservatism. They also generally regard themselves as 'pro-life' and have the bumper sticker to prove it. 

          1. I was nearly in a motor vehicle accident with one of them on CO-93 in Golden this afternoon. His (of course it was a guy) bumper sticker read, "Be Grateful Your Mother Wasn't Pro-Choice." Problem is my mother is pro-choice.

            1. Ironically, you'd be more likely to be aborted if your mother was 'pro-life'.

              The survey, which polled 1,038 women who’d had abortions from across the U.S., found that almost 40% of those women were attending a Christian church once a month or more at the time of their abortion, but that a majority of the women who attended church regularly kept their abortion a secret from their church community, mostly out of fear of being judged or condemned. Almost half of the women agreed that “pastors’ teachings on forgiveness don’t seem to apply to terminated pregnancies,” and 54 percent agreed that churches “over-simplify decisions about pregnancy options.” 

              Even sadder? Sixty-four percent of the women agreed that “Church members are more likely to gossip about a woman considering an abortion than help her understand her options.”

              Disturbingly, there’s also anecdotal evidence to suggest that Christians who have received abortions are among the most vocal opponents of abortion rights.

               

              1. I have hope for the younger generation on this issue. Even the most conservative Christians among them recognize the need for contraception, acknowledging that premarital sex happens.

                Even the ones who are stringently anti-abortion for themselves also say that they won't judge those who get abortions, and that it should be legal and safe.

                Even those who are the most anti-abortion are volunteering at crisis pregnancy centers and helping teen moms. There is no stigma for unwed mothers in high school now, only love and support. Teen dads are encouraged to man up and take responsibility (and help parent their offspring).

                At least, kids have stopped lying that everyone is saving themselves for marriage, that abstinence works, that human sexuality only comes in one acceptable brand.

                Now, if only we can hold the line against the family values hypocrites that want to miseducate and misinform, shut down clinics, make contraception and abortion illegal, try to take everyone back to the 50s, then we have hope of a sane reproductive future for this generation.

                If I sound like I'm speechifying, I'm only imitating my man Bernie, who is wowing them at a filled – to-capacity stadium in Seattle.

        2. No, they're the ones who are terrified to be in a restroom with a transperson, who as my mother used to tell me about small animals "is more scared of you than you are of them".

      1. Hmmm …

        … you're right (ROFL)!  Perhaps we need to consult with our resident expert on all things GOPer?:

        Hey Moddy, buddy — How many of the GOPer delegate candidates are subscribing members of the DOTMC?  Would that be month-to-month, or lifetime subscription? …

      1. Ask and you shall receive…(I only know this because I made Google my friend blush)

        This is a great gift for yourself or someone you care about.  If there is a person in your life that is sick of getting magazines, cigars, wine, or a fruit of the month subscription.  Try this.

         

        1. It's a lot to pay for a secret shopper service, to avoid walking into a sex toy store.

          I was going to try not to respond to the dildo topic on here out of respect for Good Friday, or embarrassment for the people whose names and private phone numbers are exposed, or something.

          Then I saw on the news where two of the people running for President are talking about each other's (presumed) sex lives and equipment, and cursing at each other in public. I can't even quote the Republican front runner verbatim to a PG rated audience.

          This was just days after 30 people were blown up in Belgium and 22 Nigerians were blown up in a mosque. (that one didn't make much news – wonder why?)

          Guess we'll stick to the sex toy subscriptions. It's less obscene.

           

    1. This, as I understand it, is the list of people running for national delegate. Most people with a shred of sanity and/or knowledge that the selection is largely done already depending on length of service to the party, contributions and individual politicking. People in the hinterlands are handicapped in parts II and III. In addition, there are far fewer people outside of the Front Range metroplex to begin with.

       

  5. Lots of duplicates.  Cruz has 102 running for 37 slots.  If they don't get their act together and get out a slate, well, their votes will be splintered maybe allowing undecided to win.  Same with Trump.  I stopped counting after 50.  No candidate organization here.  No work has been done.

    1. IF this was D and somehow we'd ended up in a similar position I'd urge ALL delegates to be uncommitted. Fortunately, the D have never ended up going to convention with the likes of Trump and Cruz in front positions

  7. When I was an Obama national delegate all I got was a lousy t-shirt.  I bet these GOP unpledged delegates are bargaining for plane rides, hotel room service, and much, much more.
