Donald Trump could have wooed skeptical Republicans in Colorado. Instead, he brought up their fights

[Zorro]

Donald Trump’s visit to Colorado on Friday offered the presumptive GOP nominee a chance to repair relations with Republicans in this pivotal swing state after a contentious primary season. But Trump instead dwelt on the divisions that threaten to split open the party.

In his address at the Western Conservative Summit, Trump repeatedly mentioned the fractious GOP primaries, particularly Colorado’s complicated delegate allocation process, in which the real estate mogul was outmaneuvered by GOP rival Sen. Ted Cruz.

“Polls came out and I was going to win Colorado, doing really well in Colorado. It looked good, and I was looking forward to it,” Trump recounted. “And then, all of a sudden, I didn’t get the delegates!”

Back in April, Trump slammed the process, and the fierce outcry he triggered culminated in state GOP Chairman Steve House receiving death threats.

1. He can't help himself

Donald Trump is one of those people who always has to have the last word to show that he's the smartest person in the room. He clearly wants to "set the record straight" and relitigate the primaries. He's got a bit of a way to go to prove that he's a "unifier" for the Republican Party.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

2. There was not a big turnout for his speech

was watching news broadcast and reporter in the Convention Center remarked there were 4,000 chairs but less than half were filled. Denver is a Democratic stronghold and it's a holiday weekend ... no one cared that he was here. Is it my imagination or have his crowds been getting smaller and smaller and smaller?
