The Architect of the Matrix strongly approves....
I know! Trump is actually helped the most in this rigged election. He gets 100% of the delegates in states where he gets less than 50% of the vote! That is so unfair! What about the majority of people who voted for other people? They don’t get representation at the convention!
Trump needs to release his delegates that he received as part of the scam to support the early front runner. The GOP thought it was going to be Jeb, but it was Trump it ended up helping.
Trump Release your rigged delegates to vote for the candidate the people voted for! At least Cruz is earning his delegates.
Trump and Sanders are just the sunshine on a corrupt system. The uniparty outed themselves when elected GOP leadership met in secret with rich DEMOCRATS last month in Georgia.
Bernie is just getting a lesson in Socialism as delegates are redistributed to Hillary.
We are not electing, we are selecting candidates to run for election. I am amazed at the level of stupid on display in america today. No one has a right to a vote in a primary. Someone please show me where our constitution speaks to this.
Presidents are selected, not elected.

The parties are not government agencies nor are they regulated by government when it comes to their candidates. I am a registered republican. I say if we all got together at let’s say the Republican Convention in Ohio.....and express our displeasure with the system and do it with forceful vigor....it might change some of the procedures that are less than democratic. If that fails we need to do what disenfranchised party members did in 1854 with the Whig party.....and BOLT and form a national tea party or whatever.
Just my $0.02
People forget - the Democrat and Republican parties are private CLUBS. And just like all clubs, they decide who gets to be a member, who sits on the board, and who is the head of the club.
Its just that we have had them around so long, people assume these clubs are naturally a part of the government.
If you don’t like it - form your own club.
Did you just now figure out that we live in a republic and not a democracy?!?
From another article, and ever so true: “Only Mr. Trump has so far won support from the majority of delegates from eight states required to get on the convention ballot, under the rules all the candidates have campaigned under since last year.”
Right now, it looks as though the two candidates with the most popular votes are going to be getting the nominations of their respective parties.
I mean, at least Trump supporters have a legitimate fear that their guy may get screwed at the Convention. But Bernie is almost certainly going to lose, and he deserves to because he's gotten clobbered in the popular vote as well. It's like Bernie thinks that the greater willingness of his supporters to come out to rallies should trump actual votes cast. Horrors!
Article is spot-on. Revealing to millions of Americans that their vote really does not count is going to have serious long-term repercussions.
so add term limits for all
Perhaps when Ted Cruz wins that rigged nomination, Bernie will pick Donnie for his veep.
After all, they’re birds of a feather. I read that right here on FR!
Demagogue
Simple Definition of demagogue: a political leader who tries to get support by making false claims and promises and using arguments based on emotion rather than reason
Demagogues have been with us much longer than political parties, however, with modern communication tools, their reach is more widespread than ever before.
My vote appears to have more effect on icanhascheezburger than in GOP primary.
