Thank you for the ping and link.

These people took their time, traveled, spent their gas to travel too and from their primary polling station. They stood in line, braved the weather and participated in the process.

Now some Washington insider snake oil salesman, wants to nullify their personal choice, to install HIMSELF as the party nominee.

The analogy is used that we have electoral votes in general elections, and these delegates are comparable.

That’s not true.

We have the electoral votes to allow smaller states to feel adequate representation in the federal government selection and process.

There is no one be protected by the delegates, if not for the voters in the primaries. They are merely the manifestation of the expressed will of the populace who stood up and tried to be counted.

Their will is sacrosanct.

Ted has placed self interest ahead of the populace he thinks he is destined to lead.

What a miserable little man...
