I heard from the Louisiana GOP that Rubio’s 5 delegates and the 5 party unbound delegates will remain unbound, and they are to “vote their conscience” at the convention.

I let them know that party insiders “voting their conscience” is what got Cruz 100% of the delegates in Colorado, and that the only FAIR way to handle unbound delegates is for those delegates to vote proportionally to how the voters of the state voted for the candidates who remain in the race at the time of the convention.

Louisiana has 10 unbound delegates. Proportional voting for Trump, Cruz, and Kasich would result in 5 for Trump, 4 for Cruz, and 1 for Kasich. That is FAIR. But I have no doubt that Cruz will somehow end up with all 10 delegate votes — on the first ballot.

Crooked system.

Delegates are elected by the voters. If you show up to caucus, you get to vote for the delegates.

Why should they? You are free to choose any party you wish or start your own. Republican party. Their rules for their nominee.

In many, if not most cases they do!

I've tried explaining the process before only to be either ignored or smeared and insulted, in which case, have given up trying to have a dialogue with idiots and don't care to try anymore!,

Delegates or those who chose them from a slate of potential nominees, are voted on by those who are registered in Primaries and they had no clue as to whom would be the 2016 candidates!

Trumpeters obviously feel "dissed" and threaten all kinds of hopefully rhetorical mayhem but most Trumpsters haven't ever been involved in any process before and believe now that their voicers aren't being heard - believe me that's not at all the case!

The fact that the United States of America is NOT a pure democracy but rather a "representative republic."

This fact is also completely unknown and not at all understood by Trumpsters, who either had no clivc classes in middle and high school or slept through them and failed, like all most all Democrats do, to understand that the U.S. is a NOT Democracy!

Trump has received more delegates than his voters have projected, especially in states like Florida and Arizona - he needed 50% plus one to get the "winner take all" delegates - he did NOT get the 50% but 47% instead yet got all delegates.

If you and Trump are demanding that Cruz got delegates he did not get fairly then Trump MUST give back both Florida and Arizona and share them with Cruz!!!

Don't bother to answer - you only add more insults as you either are dumb like a fox, ala Donald Trump or are really as uninformed as your words make you out to be.

Funny. I voted for my delegates. At both the neighborhood caucus and county caucus. I still have one more vote to cast at my State caucus.

(Oh oh!! Headline: “SCANDAL! Cruz Supporter votes THREE times!”)

“If delegates choose our Nominee then voters should darn well get to vote for the delegates”

The problem with this is, what voters?

“Republicans”, you would say. But anybody can register as a Republican at any time. I registered as a Democrat in January 2008 to vote for Obama in NH (figuring he could not possibly be elected).

If the political parties are going to use idiots voting to appoint nominees, there’s going to have to be some sort of voter qualification.

We do vote for them in Pennsylvania and several other states.
