they tweeted this out from the official colorado gop twitter account. the party sure looks happy trump lost. the tweet read, we did it. hashtag never trump. it says it's conduct an investigation into the matter. we have no word to share with you on the outcome of that investigation on whether they caught the perpetrator. but i'm sure we'll see justice done. the real crime in colorado is that the republican party doesn't give of a darn what anybody thinks abolittle proces. it's not arcane and it's not complicated. it seems to be quite something else all together. critics complaining about the race on the other side. bernie sanders won the caucuses saturday. sanders evenly split the wyoming delegates with hillary clinton. that means despite winning 8 out of the past democratic contests, he's still behind clinton 1,068 to 1,75 which includes superdelegates. the u.s. military flew bombers to qatar to support the campaign against isis in syria. military officials insist the cold car era warplane will not be used to carpet bomb the islamic state but that's th

the colorado situation is too weird. people who are looking for an outsider and who have a grudge and a complaint with the establishment of the republican party, this is really -- he's playing it perfectly and it will help him in the contest to come. >> on the delegate math, delegates won 746% of delegates chosen thus far, 46% votes for trump, 8.25 million percent of all caucus votes. his delegate bonus of 24.3% is above his raw support. as you look at new york, though, charles, he has support right now. >> all i want to say is, we have a crazy sort of system which is federalized. we have that in the house, in the senate and in presidential elections. the senate of wyoming has the same number of votes as new york. the electoral college distorts, we had them in 2000, you will lose the popular, and you win the election. if we want to rationalize it, i'm all in favor of it. if you want to chose a nominee on the basis of a few primaries, national, regional, let's do it, the system is the system. and i don't think it was desi

colorado. it's one of the big things. it's a fix because if i go to the voters of colorado, we win colorado. so it's a crooked, crooked system. >> cruz is just kicking off a rally in california where he seems to have shifted his focus and was earlier defending his weekend win. declaring that donald trump's complaints are par for the course. >> donald has been yelling and screaming. a lot of whining. and the latest thing he seized upon is when people vote against him, they're stealing the election. it's a really odd notion. >> in moments we have two big guests. trump adviser steven miller and former secretary of education, bill bennett. >>> first, trace gallagher explains why all the controversy. trace? >> megyn, the trump campaign says it's very confident he will get the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination and yet donald trump is arguing he shouldn't need 1,237 saying whoever gets the most should automatically win. trump believes the process, as you pointed out, is crooked and rigged a

today, we are in denver, colorado, tonight i will be speaking at colorado college in colorado springs. here in colorado, 2012, the state voted to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. marijuana has become an established part of the economy here. there are mineral on a spin threes -- that are marijuana dispensaries on ministry corners. now 23 states and the district of columbia have legalized marijuana for either medical or recreational use, and the cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing in the united states. but some have questioned who stands to cash in on the billions being generated by cannabis sales. michelle alexander, the best-selling author of, "the new jim crow: mass incarceration in the age of colorblindness," addressed the issue in a conversation with the drug policy alliance. >> in many ways, the imagery doesn't -- you know, here are white men poised to run big marijuana businesses, dreaming of cashing in big, big money, big businesses selling weed. after 40 years of impoverished black kids getting prison time selling weed, and their families and futures are

ted cruz wins colorado. the texas senator is a po majority of back state delegates and colorado springs. cruz got 21 of the 37 delegates. we has a chance to get 13 more bound delegates on the convention a bit later on this morning. cruz is now 224 delegates behind donald trump. later today, cruz will driver a speech at that colorado convention and then travel to las vegas to address the republican jewish coles. john kasich continues his swing from new york with three events. donald trump will resume campaign events tomorrow. kasich drew 1,600 people at a town hall in upstate new york last night h. ehe attacked his rievs a and went after hillary clinton. >> the problem that hillary has more than all the policy things is that if people suspect it, if the wind proceeds this wake, she does this, if the wind proceeds that way, she does that. >> democrats are caucusing in wyoming today. 14 of the 18 delegates are up for grabs there, with ten days until the new york primary, hillary clinton and bernie sanders will

tweeting, "i attended colorado gop conventions for years. it requires organization and attention to grassroots to win. cruz had it. trump didn't. end of story." also, "how on earth are you going to defeat isis if you can't figure out the colorado gop convention?" senator gardner joins us now. than thanks for being with us. strong words from you about donald trump and his reaction to the results in colorado. why are you compelled to react the way you have? >> last night when i heard what donald trump was saying, i had enough. he's besmirching, attacking tens of thousands of colorado republicans who months ago started many this volunteer process. people who took time away from work and family to run for delegate at the grassroots level. at the county caucus. at the precinct caucus, on to the state assembly. donald trump is basically calling thousands of coloradans corrupt, calling them rigged. this is simply unacceptable. donald trump had a chance to win in colorado and he didn't take the opportunity to do that. look, i sat on the floor of the

and the idea that in colorado a state as important as colorado. >> a swing state. >> one of the last two swing states is picking its republican delegates with 5,000 people instead of 500,000. you really do wonder whether some of these caucuses and conventions are being run to a standard that can withstand the scrutiny they are now getting in a year where every delegate matters. >> i know mr. trump say the system is rigged but he's winning. why is he complaining? >> because if one million people weren't disenfranchised in colorado he'd be winning by far more. and i agree reince priebus is in a tough situation. but to tweet out give us all a break? he's not just telling donald trump that. he's telling the millions of voters who have said we don't like the rules. in fact we think whoever has the most delegates going into the convention should be the nominee. every exit poll conducted has said that so far. so when he says give us a break. it is not just donald trump give us a break. it's republican voters the people i'm supposed to enfranchise and empower give us a break. >> the two peop

this is the colorado state g.o.p. right? >> this is the colorado state g.o.p. but, look, there is two sets of rules we are talking about here. there is the rules that each state gets to set on how they want to run their primary or caucus or convention. but then there are a whole other set of rules on how govern the convention there is a lot of overlap there because you can set a rule right before the convention. they can change the rules. >> but that's in july. >> that's in july. >> we haven't even gotten to that fight. >> right. but a lot of those rules are important for how many delegates a person has, how many states a person has. whether they won the majority of delegates in a certain amount of states. all those rules can still be changed. and i think that's where trump's forces could have a bigger. >> could be a fight on who gets to be on that rules committee. >> right. exactly. who would have thought that the rules committee would be the focus of this campaign in a campaign where the spotlight is really on getting that 1237 number of delegates and, you kn

cheryl: he talked about colorado. obviously what happened with the delegates in colorado, a big source of contention for him. he complained that system is rigged. that is really where he jumped on to that bandwagon tonight. katrina, is your campaign investigating colorado? is there potential there could be some type after lawsuit down the line with regards to what happened in colorado? >> there will be some complaint filed, simply we hear a lot of discussion about the rules, everyone says you should know the rules. when you're playing by the rules, then you have the party then lose trump delegates paperwork, credentials, suddenly leave their names off the ballot. that is not exactly playing by the rules. there are things looked into with colorado specifically because when mr. trump entered into the race back in june, colorado decided in august to put these measures in place to help the establishment which in this case is senator cruz but now we see how this is actually working because these are pyramid systems, almost

he's speaking in colorado springs, colorado. so far he has won 21 delegates at that convention there in colorado. coming up, right here in the "newsroom," we're standing up, standing by, rather, to get results from the wyoming democrat democrat caucuses. what a win for bernie sanders could mean for his momentum going into that it critical primary in new york. we'll discuss. retiring retired tires. and i never get tired of it. are you entirely prepared to retire? plan your never tiring retiring retired tires retirement with e*trade. plan your never tiring retiring retired tires retirement type 2 diabetes doesn't care who you are. man. woman. or where you're from. city. country. we're just everyday people fighting high blood sugar. ♪ i am everyday people, yea, yea. ♪ farxiga may help in that fight every day. along with diet and exercise, farxiga helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. one pill a day helps lower your a1c. and, although it's not a weight-loss or blood-pressure drug, farxiga may help you lose weig

agriculture uses up to 80% of the water in the entire colorado basin. so city managers and conservation groups have often pegged farmers and ranchers as the black hats who take more water than they need. >> the thing that a lot of people need to understand is that the water that's left in the river is mostly from the water rights owned by ranchers and farmers, and if it wasn't for those water rights, it might all be in a pipe going somewhere else. >> a few years back suggesting water rights reform to a cowboy might get you punched. but the colorado is in such dire straits they are now willing to talk. >> what's ironic is today a lot of the conservation organizations, they've gone from trying to fight to starting to cooperate ranchers. and i think that we're open to change. i think we're open to new ways of doing business. but at the same time, i don't think that this should ever die. you know, this is how the american west was settled. it's a heck of a way to live life. >> unlike the water headed to denver, some of the same molecules that drip through b

there was not a vote in colorado. martha: you take the system, you can try to change it next time essentially. and i do think, that donald trump has gone a long way to pushing these issues out into the public, to getting people talking about them. to saying wait a minute, i thought i went into the primary that my vote was actually going to matter. turns out delegates end up deciding this. i think that is an excellent part of the process that has been brought out, but you have to look at it say we were too late to change the game that time. maybe next time. but all of this -- >> it is not a matter of time. martha: calling people mobsters, pointing fingers at each other. i'm not sure that will work for ted cruz or donald trump in this argument. >> that is the point mr. trump is making. it is not about time. or who was on ground longest. it is selection of the process delegate system being rigged by the system. you had party activists asked convention in '76. he said these are gop loyal party activists. fixing the system

when you go in to colorado where the people of colorado are complaining that they're not allowed to vote, that's the best of all, because they're not even allowed to vote. or when i go in to louisiana and i win louisiana by a lot, i get thousands of more votes than cruz, and then i find out that i get less delegates, you know, hey, i'm somebody coming in to make america great again. i'm coming in to do something positive. i'm an outsider. the system is rigged. i see it. i see it now, 100%. and by the way, not just on our side. i think it's worse on the republican side, when you can have a colorado where the people don't get a chance to vote, and the people out in colorado are going nuts. they're marching, they're having a lot of problems out there, because of this. this was a political hack deal like so much of our country. this is what our country is all about i guess. >> well, speaking of the hack deal, i'm sure you saw over the weekend the boston globe was just trying to start a conversation about what it would be like a year from now if you were president. and some of the headlines a

david: donald trump versus the state of colorado or the colorado gop anyway. the gop front-runner slamming their rigged process of selecting degg gaats after cruz swept the state taking all 34 delegates up for grabs. trump's campaign manager says the rules are being abused. >> abusing the amateurness, enthuse a of republican want to participate in the process are cut out by back-room tactics the hallmark of the cruz campaign. david: here is ryan call, former chairman of the republican party of colorado. colorado daily camera, this is sentence we wouldn't think we would utter in every other presidential campaign we agree with donald trump. trump called the republican delegate selection to the july national convention rigged and he is right. how would you respond? >> absolutely false. the process in colorado which we elect our delegates to the republican national convention is transparent, it's fair, and it has been in place since 1912. if you complain about the process there is opportunity to change it. david: but the daily camera is not donald trump. the daily

donald trump tweeted about this talking about the colorado state convention, saying the people of colorado had their vote taken from them. the biggest story in politics. this will not be allowed. in december, i recall, you were writing about the concern and the risks that come with running such a non-traditional campaign. ted cruz says and honestly the trump campaign acknowledged this is an organizational problem. they are working to fix it. is that just what they are seeing? this is coming to fruition? >> well, you are kind to mention the story we did in december that basically said that trump refuses to do the basics that are necessary in presidential campaigns. really any high-level campaign. you have to create a serious organization and take steps to win delegates to get the nomination for president. and trump was offering red meat there and in the clip you played because it obviously works well with his supporters who feels he is being wronged. but trump knows he has a problem here internally. that's why he made a change in his campaign to bring out a seasoned political operative that

i think the people of colorado, the republican people of colorado would like their vote to count for something and i think that's what trump was pointing out. and i would tend on agree but after the fact. too late to be complaining about it. >> we don't need to go into all the details of colorado. i just understand the process a little differently and when colorado changed its position, it was august. at the republican committee to the very establishment that everyone is complaining about. kimberly, let me go to this the, what do you think about the other news that trump will be in washington meeting with congressional matters? seeing if he can gin up some support on that side? >> sounds like a good idea to me. sounds like putting forward a strategy, maybe some of the new people that he's brought on board that are saying we need to reach out and make sure that they're olive branches instead of fire sticks poking at every uchbl with i want to see the party come together and support the person that should get the nomination and have the most delegates and move forward. so let's see wha

when they don't like in colorado. the rules are no good when you have to play dirty tricks in order to pick up delegates. >> trump's critics, of course, countering the rules were clear long before now on how this process was going to work. calculation here may be that even if trump did know these were the rules, a lot of the first-time voters who are flocking to him this year probably didn't. this message is aimed at keeping them fired up, but even some of trump's staunchest allies are not standing with him on this. here's rush limbaugh yesterday. >> what do you mean if trump is denied? he hasn't won it yet. if he wins it and he's denied, then you've got a point. if he gets to 1237 and they try to take it away from him, then you've got a real point, but he hasn't won diddly squat yet. he hasn't got 1237. there's nothing to deny yet! and i think that may be a point. there is no entitlement here. just because you're leading doesn't mean it's yours. >> also, there's this. the washington post reporting this morning that c

colorado g.o.p. it's, you know that is sort of a show stopper in terms of whether or not it looks like the republican party was trying to be unfair to donald trump. >> they ought to find out who that was and did it and fire whoever that was, absolutely. i don't think that means you turn around and issue death threats to the chairman of the colorado republican party. i don't think it turns around and you call the 65,000 people. >> were there death threats. >> absolutely ere have been death threats. >> well, all i can say we are sure wound up this election season. anyway, thank you, senator. >> thank you. >> coming up, a lie. it's not the first time. i will explain i will explain off-the-record members. safety doesn't come in a box. it's not a banner that goes on a wall. it's not something you do now and then. or when it's convenient. at bp, it's training and retraining in state-of-the-art simulators so we're better prepared for any situation. it's giving offshore teams support from onshore experts, so

colorado republicans made their own rules. they decided months ago to choose delegates not through direct voting as many states do, or through caucusing, but instead at party meetings, and a big convention which they held over the weekend. the system is not new and it is absolutely no surprise. the party set it up just like this last summer, and based on the rules set by the runs in the state of colorado, the ted cruz campaign spent months in the state, working to rangel delegates. according to tender post newspaper the trump campaign did not put in one paid staffer in the whole state until last week. so the cruz campaign had to jump on trump for the campaign. so as far as we know that was matter of choice and resource allocation and advance planning. ted cruz rallied delegates in person, speaking at the state convention on saturday. donald trump did not. he stayed in new york. but at the convention, donald trump's people were handing out voting guides, on those the names of delegates who would vote for donald trump. with thei

if i go to the voters of colorado, we win colorado. so it's a crooked, crooked system. >> back now with our panel. "usa today" just published an article. he was asked when he's going to start acting more presidential. the time is going to be soon. he's still tweeting up a storm. calling the system rigged. do you actually believe that there is going to be some shift in donald trump acting quote/unquote presidential? >> they've mentioned the campaign has that there are going to be a number of policy speeches. his aipac speech was a resounding success. rather than getting booed he got standing ovations. that donald trump that walked into aipac, purportedly a hostile environment, that's the donald trump we'll see in a series of policy speeches to come. >> alice, are you holding your breath on a presidential donald trump suddenly appearing on the campaign trail? are you preparing for that? >> i don't see it happening. he's going to be who he's been from the beginning. for him to continue to whine because he's not winning is a pattern. he's

let's talk colorado. john, mr. trump accused senator cruz of shady tactics in colorado. can you be more specific? >> yeah. look, not a vote was cast by a voter in the state of colorado. i understand why ted cruz is doing this. the little john rocker moment is causing him to get smoked in new york. the only way he wins in this. there's one problem with his theory. if he's successful and if he's able to collude with the establishment to take this thing from donald trump in a back room deal, how does he expect to win in a general election? the very people you're screwing over are the people you need to then come back to you in november, and i see hurt feelings that last throughout the political season. >> interesting. so, it is possible cruz's camp could be offering incentives to delegates. it's not ill 4r50e8 illegal. rules are murky when it comes to political pacs contributing gifts to donors. do you suppose that is right part of the strategy in colorado for cruz? >> no. what's going on in colorado and other places is simple. senator cruz knows the rules. he has people in

we saw him shut out in colorado. john kasich, i think phil says enka encapsulated this is a pivotal moment for his campaign. last night he tried 20 open himself up a little bit to the voters. this was a touching moment between him and his daughters. >> he just tries to tell jokes that he thinks are funny, but -- they're mostly just funny to us because they're dumb. [ laughter ] >> spoken like every 16-year-old child of a parent. >> and he also thinks he's a really good dancer. >> uh-oh. >> north south. >> that's exactly right. >> north south? that's his move? >> yeah. you got to go north and south. you can't do this -- you have to go north south, and -- >> wow. >> yeah. it's very -- and i'm really, really good. i'm just kidding. >> just ask him. he'll tell you. don't you think? i've gotten better. >> yeah, but you're not going to go on dancing with the stars. >> and there you have it. john kasich last night with his family. look, we're out of time and the campaign is well for trump and cruz where we know where they s

i spent a few days in colorado. donald trump is popular with voters and ted cruz is popular withed inners. think of this remarkable fact. ted cruz has only one two primaries out of his home region. texas and oklahoma, two in his home region and two others in the whole entire country. ted cruz doesn't win where people vote. >> let me ask you this question, it is becoming a math game hereful. trying to, as you know, other candidates trying to keep trump from reaching the majority by the time the convention comes around and that's new not either. go to 2008 an on the democratic side and obama had a strategy built around hoarding delegates so to speak in caucus states and that worked for him. he beat the front runner. as you see this now, these are the facts whether you like them or not, what is the trump strategy for beating cruz and others at their own game? to get to that majority by convention time? >> we have a few big primary states coming up where people can actually vote. it is unseemly and i think it will hurt

ted cruz won in colorado. he complained about the republican party picking delegates at the convention instead of primary or caucus. how is it possible the people of the great state of colorado never got to vote in a primary. cruz won delegates with quote gustapo tactics. >> not my style. it is ted cruz's style. that will win him. >> you think he is threatening delegates? >> you go to the conventions and you see the tactics. >> gustapo? that's a strong word. >> we will file protests. the reality is they are not playing by the rules. >> is so cruz's campaign is lashing back saying cruz's campaign won after the hard work to build superior organization. let's bring in chris frates. >> reporter: john and michelle, after a three-daybreak, trump back on the trail. crucial to donald trump with 95 delegates at stake. donald trump has a shot at winner take all. that is crucial as ted cruz has been on a bit of a winning streak. donald trump starting to call into question the delegate wins by ted cruz. >> we have a corru

is that true in colorado as well? does it mean something when the candidate herself or himself comes there, jeff? >> i believe so. it's a recognition of how critical colorado is. even though we only have nine electoral votes, it's a key swing day. depending on which party, which candidate simulates the most turnout in the november election. >> all right. we're learning with you. so, jeff, thanks so much. talk to you later on. >> thank you. >>> time now for my take. if you got the colorado process for the gop delegate process was complicated, wait until you hear about michigan. yeah, michigan already had its primary and donald trump won the proportional state so he gets 25 of those highly coveted delegates while cruz and kasich both get 17, but now michigan republicans will meet today and tomorrow for their party's state convention where they will officially decide the delegates for july. of the 59 delegates traveling to cleveland, that's 14 for each of the three candidates. then you have 17 left over, right? to be pro

i like colorado today. a whole lot. >> which like we talked about, trulp, though, is focusing on new york. ted cruz winning in colorado it we'll see what happens in the new york primary. thank you very much. >>> and a special programming note. anderson cooper will host a town hall with donald trump. that will be tuesday, april 12 at 9:00 eastern. you won't want to miss it. >>> coming up here on this saturday, the pope calling for more compassion in the catholic church when it comes to divorce and gay parishioners. how is it being received? we'll discuss.

and for republicans, today all eyes on colorado, ted cruz has scooped up 21 of colorado's 34 pledged delegates. the remaining 13 will be tapped tonight. >>> i want to bring in cheyenne, wyoming to get more on this. you've been speaking to people, paul. what are they saying? >> reporter: well, there was a lot of support for sanders in this state. one thing i should say it seemed that hillary clinton was effective in chipping away at his lead because basically what happened here was in laramie county because of the surrogate vote, we also understand that she won in a county where casper is. so sanders had big wins himself. albany where the university is, but i'm going to bring in the executive director of the wyoming democrats, amy van cleave. here is democracy in action. a short time ago in fact, all afternoon long you were on your knees pecking away feeding us numbers. your reaction to sanders' win. >> we're absolutely thrilled that senator sanders won wyoming. the voters had their voices heard. we are surprised at the results, it's closer than i think a lot of us projected. >> if yo

in colorado they were going to vote. you saw what's happening in coloradoing one of the big things, it's a fix. >> reporter: ted cruz, firing back on glenn beck's radio show today, calling trump a sore loser. >> donald wakes up at night in cold sweats that people will call him losin donald. >> reporter: last night the chairman of the republican national committee weighed in on the issue, saying rules were set last year, nothing mysterious, nothing new. rules have not changed. the rules are the same. nothing different. colorado senator corey gardner taking to social media, tweeting, i've attended colorado gop conventions for years. it requires organization and attention to grassroots to win. cruz had it. trump didn't. end of story. polls show trump holding a commanding lead in new york and could be on track to take a significant portion of the state's 95 delegates up for grabs. rival john kasich, out campaigning at a brooklyn matzo bakery is running a distant second. his goal, pick up as many delegates as possible and con

maybe he thought he had a chance at colorado. delegate process being what it was that he thought people would come to him. in fact, they went to ted cruz and senator cruz gets all the delegates and using this as a way to blame what he calls a rigged system. >> that's actually quite a shrewd explanation and dishonest. i know we want a president -- don't want a president unable to read rules and written down in black and white and plain english. probably in spanish, too. i think we want a president who will as we say here man up. i mean, my god. this is a guy proposing to be the leader of the free world. the greatest country the world has ever known and just a big baby. i keep thinking of when nixon had the election stolen from him, just boldly stolen from him in 1960 by john f. kennedy and the kennedy machine. just stole it and nixon as a man did not contest it because he didn't want to tear the country apart. gosh, mr. trump, maybe you could learn something from this. >> that's open to debate whether he stole it from him. i know

>>> crunch time in colorado. a little less than an hour left for that day to reward its remaining republican delegates. i'm arthel neville. welcome to a brand-new hour inside america's election headquarters. >> happy saturday. >> good to see you. >> i'm greg gutfeld in for eric -- i'm gregg jarrett in for eric shawn. ted cruz, the only candidate to attend that event and he has scooped up 21 delegates so far in colorado at the district level. now he's looking for more at the state convention. the other gop candidates are focusing on their next stop, the new york primary, april 19. donald trump is leading there with a little more than 50% in recent polls. john kasich all over the empire state today. also appearing to have put the colorado contest in the books. he was a no show. alicia acuna has more where senator cruz is the only got to show up. what's up with that? >> reporter: that's right. only one out of the three and senator cruz really sealing the deal on all of the support he's seen here so far. when he land

only in colorado, they say, it's just unorganized but we are seeing it in colorado, missouri and in a couple of -- louisiana. and so, the mistakes are not really mistakes. it's a pattern. >> a pattern of what? >> a pattern of at the local levels abusing the amateurness of the enthusiasm ofhe process and are being cut out by back room tactics that as the hallmark of the cruz campaign. i mean, he got caught with carson in iowament he caught with rubio in florida and will be caught in all the places. >> you think ted cruz is doing this. do you have any evidence? >> we are compiling evidence and filing several credentials challenges. whether we win on the challenges or not, the point is when's happening is going to the meetings and you're not a cruz supporter, you don't want to be a republican when you leave because they're so abused. >> i would like this. i'm a big believer states should be able to do what they choose. but it is a national party so i think there ought to be some basics. if you want caucus, have a caucus. you want a primary, have a primary. proportional distribution, have

what they were doing to play by the rules in colorado. did the trump campaign miss an opportunity? >> the trump campaign had paid staff on the ground in colorado, but here's what people miss about the, quote unquote, system. 3800 people competing for essentially less than 40 spots. it wouldn't have mattered if trump would have had a thousand people on the ground because the state party already decides who they want the delegates to be. so yes, a trump supporter may get elected at the county level, but as this pyramid system replaces itself throughout the multiple elections that they have, they eventually get their own people, which is exactly why politico reported the same thing is already happening in indiana, a state that has not voted yet. >> but you know that there were a lot of complaints that the trump people who were on the ground in colorado, they missed deadlin deadlines, they misspelled names and didn't really know what they were doing. that's a huge skbaembarrassment isn't it? >> if you were on the ground you could see there we

case in point, colorado. >> 292 for cruz. >> reporter: here in colorado, there's no republican primary. the delegate selection process here is more of a cattle call. on saturday, 600 wannabe delegates had ten seconds each to make their case. we gave a couple of them a practice run. get set. go. >> in the political system, the game of chess needs to be played by a player. which is donald trump. the rest of the -- um -- >> reporter: oh, oh, oh, oh! set, go. >> my name is jimmy. i'm running for national delegates supporting ted cruz because we need a reliable, principled conservative in the white house. >> reporter: seven seconds. the cruz people seem to have this stuff down. the trump campaign, not so much. this is donald trump's cheat sheet for the colorado state convention. his list of names of people he would like to send to cleveland. and abc's ryan struck sand katherine falters, off-air reporters, have been digging into it. you found some problems. >> the problem, david, is that five of the names on the list are incorrectly matched with numbers from the official state party list. >>

let's talk about the colorado convention process. donald trump, i don't think he liked it one be bit. he called the system rigged. your reaction to that? >> elections are hard work and won by those who showed up and ted cruz showed up in colorado. the fact is, this is a grassroots process are. i stood with thousands of delegates all day at the colorado convention and talking to kasich delegates, trump supporters who were wearing the make america great again hat, cruz supporters. all of them participated in a process that has been around for a century to choose these delegates to the national convention. elections are won by those who showed up. ted cruz showed up, gave a great speech and won. elections are hard work. this process isn't a coronation. if he wants a coronation perhaps he should be a democrat. >> i understand it is in the rule answer the way colorado has done it. is it the best way to do it? what's wrong with having a primary? colorado is a growing state and crucial in the general election why not have a primary? >> 65,0
