A Trump supporter in Colorado is so fed up with the GOP that he has declared he will leave the party, even showing how serious he is by burning his voter registration card and posting it to YouTube.
Trump fans have been seething over what they view as a ‘rigged system’ culminating with what happened in Colorado, where Ted Cruz swept the state’s 34 delegates without any votes being cast by citizens in a traditional primary process.
In an interview with Bill O’Reilly, Trump himself stated “This was a political hack deal, like so much of our country.”
“The people don’t get a chance to vote. The people out in Colorado are going nuts,” he said.

Via Fox News Insider:
A man who says he has been a lifelong Republican is now saying, “Goodbye, GOP.”
The former Republican voter, reportedly identified as Larry Wayne Lindsey, says he lined up for an hour at this weekend’s state convention in Colorado Springs to vote for Donald Trump.
But after his precinct captain found out who he was supporting, Lindsey says he was “removed and replaced.”
“My vote nullified, because I voted for Trump,” he said in a series of videos posted to YouTube. “They think they are gonna get away with this, they are sadly mistaken.”
Lindsey in another video, shown on Special ReportandFox Business’ Risk & Reward with Deirdre Bolton, holds up what he says is a copy of his Republican Party voter registration card.
“I’m voting for Trump, and to hell with the Republican Party,” he said, setting the sheet of paper on fire.
“I will not be forced for somebody that I don’t want to. I quit. I quit the party.”
The Republican frontrunner even responded to the disgruntled voter on Twitter:
This is happening all over our country—great people being disenfranchised by
politicians. Repub party is in trouble! https://t.co/wNXRqVl9Uu— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 11, 2016
To be fair, the rules in Colorado have been in place for years, with seemingly everyone aware of them with the exception of Trump, his campaign, and his followers.
Additionally, Allahpundit at Hot Air indicates that the Colorado rules were designed to actually help the frontrunning candidate, and cites multiple other instances in which primary rules have benefited Trump.
Is Trump trying to capitalize on perception as opposed to reality?

It is not the function of the “establishment” to select the candidates we want to represent us. All the establishment worries about is preservation of their pomp and circumstance, power and prestige; the people aren’t smart enough to know what is good for them. I don’t remember voting for any member of the establishment. Butt out, we’ll make our own decisions with absolutely no help from you or any of the other national committees.
Time to Update the article to reveal that the guy is a sham, just like Lyin’ Donald Trump.
Don’t even say “To be fair….” You have never been fair to Donald Trump! Not at all ! It would take too much guts for the Political Insider to be fair to Trump and stand behind him. The system is rigged and corrupt and Trump is the only strong, honest and fearless warrior who has the guts to expose it.
Look at what the mouths of the insider GOP’s are doing. Look at how the media will play up any misstep. Terd Crud who is not liked by the establishment is untouched as much as he and his campaign have been given a free hand. He is a cheater and a liar but what is the GOP and the controlled media saying about him???? The public sees the scared politicians who will loose their meal tickets once TRUMP is in. Yes Mr. Trump is being screwed by the GOP and as a result so is the public who believe he is the one to clean up all of the crappy politicians in Washington.
There are a lot of us that feel the same way about the GOP and their disregard for The Peoples’ Choice and will do anything to try and stop The Donald. VOTE FOR TRUMP and if the GOP does anything to stop him in Cleveland and deny him the nomination….vote demoncratic or even Independent, or Green Party in November.
If you get down to brass tacks, either Trump or Cruz is head and shoulders above hillary or bernie. Either Trump or Cruz will lead us out of the morass that the liberals have led us into so it makes no sense to squabble over the triumph for the Republic that either would provide. We don’t need a pathological liar or a senile old gifter ready to give away the bank, for a President. Don’t be stupid; stop the infighting.
