Oh goody, another Klownhall post. At least Michael Reagan called us Trump people instead of one of those cutsy names.

Hey Mike, you people need to learn that we are in the midst of a rebellion.

Get out of the way and take Lyin’ Tedster with you.

They didn't want a popular vote and they didn't want Congress to pick the chief executive.

then why does Congress pick the president if no one gets a majority of the electoral college?

Further, they think their idea of what the process shoukd be, what the methods should be are sacrosanct for time immemorial unless they ok any changes. There used to be a soviet union too. But there isn’t anymore.

We understand when a candidate is mathematically eliminated he should drop out, not plot to keep the front runner from getting the majority of delegates so he can win a convention fight.

Nothing more simple then that.

They want a nominee who gets on the ground, walks the neighborhoods, shakes hands and does the hard retail work at the grass roots.


This might be realistic in a small town election, but in a national race where the nation is 3,000 miles wide, get real.

What a ridiculous article that misses the point. Limbaugh is wasting half his show with similar garbage.

When you win delegates in the primary they should actually be your delegates. What’s happening is the establishment is selecting Cruz people to fill those slots.

I’m sad Mike doesn’t get it. I think his dad would have.

Imagine turning to Rinse Penus as the authority figure here. F the parties!

This isn’t a general election and there isn’t an electoral college for a primary.

This isn’t the 1800’s either, where the farmer would rely on someone to do his bidding in a primary because he could not, and would not leave his farm for 3 weeks at a time to go vote in a primary, and couldn’t be bothered to vote again and again for each run off, so they had set up a system of delegates to represent their best interest.

This is the 21st century. Our interests are pretty damned clear. This is the information age, and we don’t have to come down from the hills with a mule train to vote..

The author knows this, as do many on this forum.

but lets not let common sense get in the way of partisan politics.

The ONLY reason the system is kept in place is exactly for the reason of keeping an outsider from winning.

Sounds like a whole lot of whining to me...

And we are fine with the primary process when people get to vote, and it’s easy and accessible. But not when it’s a month long process with multiple conventions leading up to the state convention where 600 delegates give 10 second speeches to get people to vote for them.

The average voter is busy trying to make a living and take care of their family. They want to go out, vote and be done with it.

The GOP doesn't want some guy to be able to win the nomination by flying a 757 into a handful of big states like California, New York, Texas, Illinois, Ohio and Florida, holding campaign events for 20,000 people at the airport and then flying home to Upper Upper Manhattan.

They want a nominee who gets on the ground, walks the neighborhoods, shakes hands and does the hard retail work at the grass roots.

The GOP needs a winner. Trump is winning. And he is doing it cheaper and more effectively than Cruz, Trump is master of social media. Michael Reagan is stuck in the past.

Michael, I’m not whining. I’m just pointing out that Cruz is a natural born liar.

So, Michael appears to be implying that he thinks the Electoral College, which is in the Constitution, is the same thing (or at least similar) as the nominating process of a political party (which is not in the Constitution at all)? Neglect of context is a prescription for error.
