So, the rules include only seating those that will vote for Cruz??
This is just clown hall trying to justify the eGOP cheating. There are no rules that include only seating people voting for Cruz.

Someone should tell Derek Hunter that it's been a week since the GOPe's Unipatsy, Teddie "Fat Dracula" Cruz, buried his arms in the Colorado Tar-Baby up to the elbows.
And now the Wyoming Tar-Baby is stuck to Cruz, too - Drudge mast headline: "CRUZ CELEBRATES ANOTHER VOTERLESS VICTORY! NO ELECTION IN WY..."
Hunter is clueless. Trump is playing these stupid nitwits like fiddles. :)

“How does (or did) the press manage to keep control over the message? By controlling who was allowed to be the messenger.”
The story behind all the stories is the press. Their influence may be the biggest “rigging” of the system we have.
The old Soviet Union pretty much had a one party press. (There were western broadcasts and perhaps other subversive sources). The United States pretty much has a one party press also. Ours may be more powerful as they falsely claim objectivity.
Trump...squish?
My apologies to the innumerate, like you, servantboy. :)
There are multiple interlocking pieces. See too education and religion, in addition to the information industry and the political/legislative/court industry.
The people are decadent, in part because that is human nature, and in part because, thanks to the "popular press and education," being decadent is the cool thing to be.
-- The United States pretty much has a one party press also. Ours may be more powerful as they falsely claim objectivity. --
Even more amazing than the claim, is the pervasive meme that the press is supposed to be objective, that it has some sort of truth and honor code or something along those lines, that it travels a "high road." Hah.
I'm sure some individual practitioners honestly strive for objectivity, but those people are way outside of broad public exposure.
It’s early. But is this Townhall article saying that Hillary Clinton’s life is the American Dream? Using and chucking people aside in the worst ways, stealing and grifting and bribing and trading national secrets and murder? Who wrote this, Frank Underwood?
I understand that the Cruzbonics language doesn’t have the convenience of “numbers” that the rest of us enjoy... LOL! :)

And yet, no one can recall anyone whining and crying about both Wyo. and CO in 2012.
In fact, I don’t recall anyone whining as much as Donald. And to think we make fun of the snowflakes on college campi when our own frontrunner is one himself :0
Looks like a combination of clueless and stoneless to me, then.
The numbers from 2012 tell me that we were FORCE-FED the social squish loserboy, LMAO.
What do they tell you?

No wonder he’s losing to Hillary
Ah, jeez, not this "Trump loses to Hillary" garbage again.
He'll chop her up like he's doing to Cruzless with the Colorado & Wyoming thingees.
Why do you think the Wisconsin Democrats crossed over to give Teddiestablishment the win in Wisconsin?
If Trump was such easy meat, he would have "won" Wisconsin - where the Democrats own the vote.
Instead, Teddie got a shot of genunine spurious Spanish viagra. :)
Looks to me like Trump read the rules, then decided to hoist Cruzless on his own retard by playing the "CRUZ CELEBRATES ANOTHER VOTERLESS VICTORY!" card.
It's working - cruzie's got his little FR anklebiters out trying to sell the "Donald is dumb" narrative.
No sale.
And that is what’s really upsetting the Trumpers.
You are making a huge assumption here, which is that Trump supporters are perfectly okay with underhanded win-at-any-cost tactics as long as it is their guy who benefits.
The truth is that many (most? all?) Trump supporters actually value things like integrity and fairness (of opportunity, not outcome). So when we see someone apparently cheating, we turn against that person. It doesn't matter if he is on our team--we don't want a cheater.
I didn't turn against Cruz because I'm for Trump. I turned against Cruz because of Cruz. That means I will not turn back to Cruz if Trump should somehow not pick up the nomination--in that case, I'll probably vote for the libertarian or one of the other conservative parties' candidates.
And before you say that Cruz won by the rules in CO, just consider that it is like saying that a murderer's exoneration was completely legal because he confessed to the police before they read the Miranda rights to him. Maybe it's perfectly legal, but it's totally wrong.

Sigh...
Another one that doesn’t understand the difference between a primary election and the general. Public education civics has declined alot since I attended school, I guess.
The same behaviour exhibited by Trump that’s cheered as great strategy by his supporters in the primary elections has less tolerance in the general. Reflected in every poll as it pertains to the general. Yes I know the standard Trumper line. The media polls are false. Not when they say the same thing. Every one. And no, it’s not a conspiracy. And no, this isn’t 1980;)
The things that the Trumpers tell themselves inside the echo chamber would be cute and funny if the stakes weren’t so high... a Hillary presidency:(

More like if I sign a contract, and some part of the contract is enforced that may be unfair, it was my responsibility to read the contract before signing it.
Since Trump signed onto running for president, it’s his job to learn the rules. Not demand that party bosses lead him by the hand. Right or wrong, that’s the game.
My personal opinion is both Trump and Cruz are too badly damaged to win in Nov. Neither one is really going to unite the base to it’s totality as Reagan did. Too much bad blood between supporters.
