I never thought I would see the day when going to the ballot box and expressing our will on issues would be trashed by someone seeking my support.
None the less, here we are. Delegates are the pure. Voters are the unpure.
Let’s refresh our memory a bit here.
For literally most of my 65 years, I have been told that voting was my sacred right. I must participate in the system. In general elections I had to take part, “...because this was the most important election in my lifetime. ‘Our candidate’ for the Oval Office, had to win!”
Now, I’m told that selecting a nominee in my local state is corrupted by my vote. Delegates are the rage. This is a Republic don’t you know...
“After all, we have an electoral college, you idiot!”
Folks, selecting a nominee in one state, is not at all like selecting a president in fifty different states of varying sizes. The electoral college was instituted to help smaller states feel like they had a voice. That concern is not present in states.
We the public demand to have a say in the process. We do, because after decades, we have a majority in the Senate and the House, and those people have let Obama have every single thing he wanted. EVERYTHING!
After watching these idiots for the last eight years, particularly after we took over, it’s clear a traitor can serve in the oval office and bring Muslim Brotherhood terrorists into that building to advise him.
Our checks and balances system is DOA. It barely had a pulse when Bush left, and now it’s been flatlining for eight years.
Don’t come to me with your horse ‘stuff’ about Republics vs Democracies. I’m not falling for it. I want a say in what is taking place, and our nation on the f——— rocks is the reason why.
If you can’t grasp this, you certainly don’t belong here.
Agreed DO.
In regards to the constant defense on this issue, all I have to say is that at this point it doesn’t just matter. The meme has been set, Cruz is viewed as a smarmy cheater and THAT is what counts today.
I’m only a few years behind you on age, agree with you that our republic is going down the toilet, but think the delegate selection process is the least of our worries. Fact is, Trump has benefited from the system garnering more delegates than his popular vote totals warrant. This is as it should be. He will be the GP nominee.
I worry about how he will govern. Mr. Trump is a blank slate. He says he will hire great people, but Manafort seems like a knucklehead to me. He wants to expand ethanol subsidies. Really? A fat crony-capitalist taxpayer funded giveaway to campaign donors? Will he stand up to Schuemer and the other vermin to build a wall AND shut down the corrupt VISA entry/exit system? Enforce e-Verify? I could go on, but won’t.
Never Hillary!
