Donald Trump, the GOP presidential frontrunner, speaks Tuesday evening in Palm Beach, Fla. (The Associated Press)
Re: Trump s victories point to GOP crisis, March 2 editorial.
Your editorial was just another regurgitation of the same old criticisms every Trump voter rejected a long time ago. It ll be interesting to see just how low and hard you go with your predictable Trump bashing over the next few weeks. Maybe you ll follow Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio s lead and start behaving just like Donald Trump in a desperate attempt to slow down the billionaire.
What I don t understand is why The Denver Post keeps attacking Trump but never directly criticizes the GOP electorate that put him where he is in the first place.
Please, Denver Post, step up and have the courage to publicly address the Trump voters who put the man you so desperately criticize into a position to win the GOP nomination.

This letter was published in the March 4 edition.Your editorial is insulting to GOP voters in Colorado and surrounding states. Super Tuesday results were overwhelming in favor of Donald Trump. Polls show him with big leads virtually all over the U.S.
Trump s popularity stems from American s desire for change. Anybody but Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the White House. We do not choose our president on his expertise in foreign policy or the Constitution — but rather his common sense and believability.

This letter was published in the March 4 edition.Pundits are at a loss to understand how Donald Trump, an opportunistic, clueless loudmouth whose usual statements are totally irrelevant, deliberately offensive ad hominem attacks, could gain a large and devoted following. Yet it isn t his ignorant bombast which drives some conservatives to consider bolting the GOP should the blowhard gain its nomination. Rather, it is their fear that a President Trump, the self-proclaimed great deal maker, would cut deals. Ted Cruz recently stated this plainly. Trump, he charged, will compromise conservative principles.
Rather than the traditional opposition party practice of negotiation to get a livable political accommodation, the GOP chose not to help President Obama govern, but to hamstring him instead. As a result, there has been an almost complete lack of federal government accomplishments. Polling tells us the predominant opinion of Trump s supporters is angry disgust at this. If Trump gains the nomination, the GOP will have only itself to blame.
