that’s so Donald and all his leftist voters could understand.

As one who voted for Reagan twice, I resent the comment about Trump leftist voters.

However, your snark is additional proof that the vitriol is not coming solely from the Trump camp, which I was just referring to on another thread, so thanks.

The presidential nominating process has never been more open and democratic. The idea of a primary binding delegate votes was an idea from the Progressive Movement and not many states used primaries until the 1960s.

Yes, that is what is most disturbing!

A man who purports to be a Christian has gotten a reputation for having no character!

And this doesn't seem to bother him or his supporters!

The process that sees the RNC control caucus votes across the nation is not an example of an open and healthy election system.

Of course that’s unless you think a Bos Hog operation is open and healthy.

It is undeniably more open and democratic than in the past. Period.

Crude democracy in the selection process is an unproven innovation, and specifically rejected by the Boss Hogg Founding Fathers.

Tell yourself that all you like.

Colorado alone reals that lie.

So ... this stuff you call cheating when Cruz does it ... you’re now wanting Trump to do it too?

And then it will be all good.

When did you trumpers realize you hated Ted Cruz.

In an alternate universe, he would be every conservative’s favorite candidate.

Watch your language, baby.

If Trump succeeds in what he is planning, you will have to take those words back.

And, by the way, I would not advise speaking for God.

So true. I just saw Obama on Fox news. He was talking about Hillary.

I loath and despise Obama but he comes across as more sane than Trump.

Just looking at Cruz....He looks like a slimy, slithery snake oil salesman from the old medicine shows. Then when he puts on his Elmer Gantry preacher voice !!!!!

I am so much in agreement with you! Well said. Too bad so many people support the Establishment in making voting nonessential.

I liked him until Iowa and it went down from there. If he wouldn’t be in this win at all cost and just relax, he’d be better off. He’d probably at least be considered VP for trump. But he ran the nastiest campaign in election history and has hurt him greatly. Can he recover? Probably because Americans are a forgiving people, but he has 8 years to prove himself. I would imagine in 2024, he’ll be a much different candidate and obviously older and more mature.

Every state has it’s own way of conducting primaries or caucuses. It’s that old-fashioned thing called states rights.

You may not like Colorado’s system but it’s been in place and Donald Trump did not bother to check it out.

Ted did. So why whine about it? Get your guy on the ball.

I’m not whining about it.

I’m calling it a corrupted enterprise.

You can sit there and stew about it all you like.

“Or maybe Mr. Trump doesn’t understand the rules.”

Or maybe Mr. Trump expects to win the Iron Man triathlon by only running. Why do we have to cycle or swim, too? So unfair!
