Donald Trump has had it with the GOP’s delegate selection system that last weekend gave Ted Cruz the win in Colorado even though he was not directly elected by the state’s Republican voters.
‘The system is rigged. It’s crooked,’ Trump declared on Fox and Friends this morning.
He said later in the segment: ‘This was a political hack deal, like so much of our country. This is what our country’s all about I guess.’
Cruz secured all 34 delegates in Colorado in a landslide victory, pushing the GOP further in the direction of a contested national convention in Cleveland, Ohio, this summer.
The Texas senator took advantage of the state’s complicated rules for distributing delegates to direct them all his way.
‘The people of Colorado had their vote taken away from them by the phony politicians. Biggest story in politics. This will not be allowed!’ Trump said last night on Twitter.
