Tarhonda only one party here will select a thats right, cheryl. The democratic party. While republicans will caucus you wont hear of a winner coming out of colorado. Thats the because the Colorado Republican Party decided not to select an state wide winner. Its the reason why you havent seen any republican ads on tv here. Candidates arent as interested when theres no state to win. The democrats, on the other hand, have a lot at stake. Bernie sanders said while colorados not a mustwin. It is important. Hillary clinton is hoping to win delegates in our state. She, in fact, is already moving on to focusing on her republican president ial rivals. But theyre still in the fight too.

Brand new video of russian jets Close Encounter with a u. S. Destroyer. This isnt the first time. David. David wow. Look at that. As fight for republican delegates gets tighter trump claims the party is out to get him. Take a listen. You said shenanigans, those are the rules. I know the rules very well but i know it is stacked against me by the establishment. I fully understand it. We had people out there and they werent heard. David are the rules stacked against him or is trump mismanaging them. Here to weigh in doug hyde, former rnc communications director.

Still awaiting the arrival of the ntsb to investigate this small plane crash. We got pictures from witnesses who happened to be taking picturion nearby. You can see it crashed on the hillside just off highway 105. More than dozen houses just that close to the crash site. As for why it crashed, the El Paso Sheriffs Office and soon out. It appeared the plane of the some mechanical issues and obviously there have been high winds but theres no investigation at this time to indicate what exactly was the result of this crash.

In city after city and location after location people sent us pictures of the lines and crowds at their caucus sites. Candid
