I saw a post this morning which said to let Cruz have the crumbs while Trump eats cake(or crow) I guess we will see.
Damn, if only writing something made it so!
In before the “These rule set a year ago and nobody complained” brown shirts start defending the indefensible.
Cruz 644
Rubio 189
Trump 70
People in these states (Colorado and Wyoming) should raise h*ll about not having their chance to vote themselves for the candidate of their choice...
They are no more than peasants, serfs, and commoners while the “Dukes, Earls, and Noblemen do the selecting of the “King” for them...
People, your opinion does not matter anymore....
Cruz and Hillary are both winning the insider game.
Amazing that Cruz defenders say this is all fair and legit when they’d be the first screaming if Trump were out buying votes
Oh yeah...Well. it seems they both disregard the public...
They fell they are “above” us...
Cruz only wins eGOP controlled smoky backroom deals. Trump wins with the people.
Guam has the same convention/caucus process as CO and WY. Nothing nefarious about any of them, and no need for the thoughtless Nazi reference.
So Trump's low information voters, who never gave a crap about how nominations were done in the past, will be mad?
Poor babies...........tune up the violin strings.
Bet we won't hear any pissing and moaning from the little darlin's if Manafort is able to clean Cruz's clock in Wyoming....using the same rules.
Funny how that works...........
The caucus on Guam took place on 1 day
We did not select delegates who would then select delegates to select delegates. The caucus chose to support Ted Cruz. There was no intermediate step. I was there.
There are only 140,000 people here and the island is about 1/2 the size of an average county so a caucus works better here than a larger place with a larger population.
Exactly. That’s how political parties work within our federalist system. It ain’t perfect, but it’s not Nazi Germany.
More like the old Soviet Union.
Hypocrisy is alive and well among Trump supporters.
Public caucuses such as Maine, Guam, Iowa and Nevada are fine. People have a chance to weigh in on the election in a fair manner. Insider Caucuses such as we see selecting delegates in Colorado, North Dakota, Wyoming, and others are strictly to ensure the inside party people control who is the nominee. Requiring multiple day, attendance for precincts, districts, and state is too difficult for people who have a life beyond politics.
Trump knows how to wheel and deal, he just don’t play the small game. Cruz can have little skirmishes and the big battles is where Trump will show up to play.
“In before the “These rule set a year ago and nobody complained” brown shirts start defending the indefensible.”
The State parties get to determine their own methods. Kinda like zoning laws and building regulations. Either Trump’s people did not perform due diligence or Trump thought he was going to just steamroll his way through things by calling people “stupid,” or threatening to sue everybody.
The anti-Trump GOP hacks are drunk on their hate of Trump.
WY, like CO will backfire on them and Cruz like CO did.
Where were YOU dummy?
Nevada and Hawaii VOTED!
