“I’ve made the decision that I would not take my wife along. I am certainly at the very least going to use my personal guest pass to bring along a Republican sheriff," said Colorado GOP chairman Steve House. | AP Photo Colorado GOP chairman considers bringing sheriff to convention over Trump supporter threats

The chairman of the Colorado Republican Party has gotten such a violent reaction to the results of his state’s caucus last weekend that he says he is considering bringing a local sheriff as one of his guests to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer.

“I’ve made the decision that I would not take my wife along. I am certainly at the very least going to use my personal guest pass to bring along a Republican sheriff," Steve House told POLITICO in an interview. “People might think that’s crazy, but not after what we’re growing through right now.”

What House is “going through” is 50 to 60 calls an hour, emails, text messages and online death threats from angry Donald Trump supporters since Sunday night when his contact information was released (it is not clear who originally sent out the information).

“Some of them are absolutely not repeatable, I wouldn’t even read them to my wife, let alone my children,” House said about the messages. He added later that he was thankful because out of his six kids, only one lives at home, and the one who does is in his 20s, though he added his family is “concerned.”

House told POLITICO he was forwarded one email that was originally sent to the Republican National Committee that said “He will not make it to Cleveland [for the convention] he and his family will be six feet under before that happens."

He has heard there will be a protest outside of his office and another outside his house on Friday, adding that he is working with local law enforcement to make sure his house and street are monitored.

The anger from Trump supporters came after the billionaire didn’t receive a single delegate in Colorado on Saturday. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz scooped all 34 delegates (30 are pledged to him, four have expressed publicly that they'll vote for him) and Trump has accused the state party of stifling the will of the people. His delegate adviser Paul Manafort on Sunday accused the Cruz campaign of employing “Gestapo tactics” to gain delegates.

Colorado did not hold a presidential primary preference caucus or primary for the public vote for a candidate (the decision to do without it came last summer), meaning Cruz’s win Saturday means both Trump and Ohio Gov. John Kasich will not receive any delegates from the state.

House said that people incorrectly believe the system was rigged and that “we’re somehow against Donald Trump and we’re not, it just isn’t true.”

“It’s not complicated, it’s simple math,” House said.

But despite the tsunami of anger directed at House – he has also heard of some Colorado delegates receiving death threats though not to the same magnitude – he is still trying to move forward. He refuses to change his phone number despite the fact that every so often so many calls come through he has to reset his phone.

“We’re not gonna back down, it’s not like I’m gonna walk away from my property,” he said, adding his philosophy is “don’t abandon your life, don’t abandon your home, don’t let people scare you.”

And he attempts to answer every call that comes from someone in Colorado even if the conversations are unpleasant.

On Tuesday in an interview with Sean Hannity's radio show, Cruz accused Trump and his campaign of behaving like a “mobster and thug” citing the threats House has received. Cruz made similar remarks on Glenn Beck's radio show Tuesday.

“I am very troubled at the Trump campaign's consistent pattern of inciting violence and threatening violence,” Cruz said to Hannity.

He said he believes that part of the anger comes from the fact that Trump did not win any delegates but others happened because of a tweet that was sent from the state's Republican party account Saturday night, reading "We did it. #NeverTrump."

The tweet was deleted, and almost immediately the party tweeted out that it wasn't them and came from an unauthorized user.

House told POLITICO it was still under investigation but his party had nothing to do with it.

"That didn’t come from us, we don’t know who it came from," he said Wednesday.

The RNC did not immediately respond to request for information about the guest badges House was discussing.
