We have always been led to believe that ‘Our Votes Counts’ and then we hear from the RNC that we, the people, have no say in it at all...why is that? Isn't that against the Constitution? And if it is, shouldn't this matter? Aren't WE the People the ones that these people WORK for? Aren't WE the People the ones who pay THEIR wages? If that is so, then how to they get to smother OUR vote?
If this is the case, then we have just wasted a lot of time and energy into voicing our rights...agreed?
I see you are another one who sanctions lying, stealing and cheating. This says a lot about your character as well as his. This country is gone.
Tell where there is lying, stealing, and cheating in seeking to get delegates for a second ballot. It’s not good slinging around charges like those if you cannot prove them. And I really don’t appreciate you calling me a liar, thief, and cheat. You have no idea who I am. We can disagree on politics, but to accuse those whom you have not even met of these things, just because they support a different candidate is just plain wrong.
Oh, I just saw your name. We have exchanged before. Doesn’t surprise me now.
If by some miracle of miracles creepy cruz managed to convince the the GOPe to give him the nod after pushing Mr Trump out, its posts like this that will make sure that I won’t change my mind in Nov. I have had plenty to say about Cruz but I draw the line at bashing his supporters.
The third way is past. He could have had enough Trump delegates in each district so that the party could not choose them.
I have trouble trusting polls like that...and maybe it’s just me because to me there is less than zero comparison between Hillary and Trump. She is about the dirtiest lowest scum we had on the political scene in decades and Trump is an up front in your face man of tangible accomplishments.
He hasn’t even really started in on her yet. I just can’t imagine anyone but lesbians, widdle snowflakes and those trying to hang on to their gravytrain would vote for her.
You gonna curse me now or tell me what to do with myself??
“This activity is legal, but Trump’s campaign, seemingly out-organized at the state level, has loudly complained it is unfair.”
Once again, Trump doesn’t like the rules, so he cries foul. His campaign didn’t take the time, money, and energy to learn the rules for each state and ensure that they got their delegates in there. Sheer incompetence. I hope that a Trump presidency isn’t so half-assed.
Just thinking out loud...but what if there was a state by state list of delegates who could switch and under what circumstances they could do it. I think we could put enough of a campaign together to let them know that their actions would be quite public.
Political parties are private associations. The Elks Club might invite you to patronize their restaurant and bar, and they might ask outsiders what they think of their managers and officials, but the active members with skin in the game are going to make the final decisions.
Reminds me of illegals demanding to vote on the same basis as citizens because the government allows them here.
Who is he going to complain to the first time he gets skinned in a trade deal?
I know - denial isn't just a river in Egypt...
So you are fine with having the GOP disenfranchise the will of the voters.
At least he wouldn’t go into a trade deal with the intent of getting skinned in the first place. And, at least he would complain. That would be a refreshing change from the past two decades.
Yes, the GOP is far more corrupt and likely to stab you in the back because their slice of Washington is smaller and they don’t posses the power of Santa Clause government.
It isn’t denial because it isn’t true yet. Polls are manipulated...everyone knows that.
Conservatives elected over 900 Republicans since Obama took office... and THIS is how were treated?
The GOPe is in for a rude awakening... That SC ‘threat’ won’t work.. Bush appointed liberals... and now I’m guessing it wasn’t a ‘mistake’...
The DNC had the foresight to see that someone like Bernie Sanders could come along. The RNC never thought a candidate would not be controllable by it and that it could not destroy such a candidate. The result is that the superdelegates are insurance against Sanders, while the GOPe is trying to come up with an ad hoc solution.
No way to argue with that!
Trump may not be the train his most rabid fans think, but there are many practical, straightforward reasons why he is far superior to Romney, McCain, and the Bushes.
I have to wonder at what point our dear leaders stoop to buying the delegates.
And if this is how it works, there is no reason what so ever to pretend that we have primary elections. They can ‘select 2,472 delegates and have a private party at a Marriot Resort and they can select our next potus.
No need to waste hundreds of millions of dollars.
No need to spend a year on the campaign trail.
No need to take everyone’s hard earned donations.
No need to have volunteers sacrificing their time.
No need to jam the TV with non-stop terrible ads.
And, lest we forget...
No need for a young man to die trying to travel to Ben Carson’s caucus in time to volunteer.
What a wasted pathetic party we pledge to support.
They want your time and your money, just not your vote!
GOPe needs your TIME and all your MONEY, just not your VOTE!
