Cory Gardner’s anti-Trump tweet storm

April 12, 2016

Following Ted Cruz’s clean sweep of Colorado’s delegates over the weekend at Colorado’s GOP convention, Donald Trump has been on a rampage about the state’s system of selecting the 37 delegates who will go to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on July 18.

But Colorado’s newest U.S. Senator, Cory Gardner, who came into office in 2014, isn’t having it.

On Monday, the Yuma Republican fired off a series of tweets calling out The Donald about why he lost Colorado.

Gardner’s social media commentary has something for everybody. There’s ISIS. There’s Putin. There’s the United Nations and the national budget.

Anyway, behold the usually tightly scripted Colorado politician letting ’em rip.

If you can't figure out the Colorado GOP delegate process how can you figure out how to balance the national budget?

How can you protect Israel at the UN when you're completely baffled by the @cologop convention process? -CG #copolitics

How on earth are you going to defeat ISIS if you can't figure out the @cologop convention? -CG #copolitics

.@tedcruz showed up to the @cologop convention. @realDonaldTrump only sent a surrogate. Cruz swept. Elections are won by those who show up.

Darryl Glenn came out of nowhere to win @cologop convention for US Senate. That should be the story. Not @realDonaldTrump's temper tantrum.

I've attended CO GOP conventions for years. It requires organization & attn to grassroots to win. Cruz had it. Trump didn't. End of story.

End of story? This is Donald Trump we’re talking about.
