Nothing justifies winner take all in a democracy. Trump wants democracy and cries about it when he doesn’t have it. So to be fair democracy for one democracy for all.

Maybe getting over 50% of the vote an argument could be made, but not in a democracy. Did Trump get 50% of the vote? oh no, that’s right he didn’t. So a majority of the voters were disenfranchised.

That's a fact but facts have nothing to do with spreading the daily dose of Cruz BS. Cruz and the RNC now realize they stepped in a steaming pile with their Colorado gloating so they're trying to make the entire process look as crooked as their own little games are.

Romney is behind a lot of it because he can't handle Trump saying that he supported Romney, Romney should have won, but Romney choked. It's personal for Romney, so watch for more stuff like using what Rubio was shopping around for months about Cruz having affairs then blaming it on Trump.

So, Romney should have been Obama’s VP because he came in second ? It used to work that way pretty much, is that what you propose returning to ?

Where did I ever suggest such a thing?

I re-read what I wrote to make sure I didn’t have a crazy autocorrect in there. I honestly don’t think you understand basic English. Or did I miss an huge typo. In other words...”Whatchu talkin’ bout Willis?”

You sound like a Democrat advocating an end of the electoral college. LMAO. Like their messiah, “conservative” Cruzers have no clothes.

Didn't you bring up the "every vote counts" meme ? I didn't notice you qualify that with "only in primaries where I have a dog in the fight" which means, that meme should apply to the actual Presidential election as well as other elections.

Or, do you just spout whatever catchy phrase you've heard without thinking about how it applies across the board rather than only within the narrow confines between your ears ?

No I didn’t bring it up...Trump did when he said he wants democracy.

I’m just applying Trump Colorado logic to the rest of the elections.

Sorry, I thought you were giving your opinion as a consistent, courageous and principled conservative. LOL.

“At this point I’d actually prefer Rubio over Cruz.”

Now that Cruz has been outed there’s a majority right there with you.

If Trump and Rubio can find common ground, it wouldn’t even be a contest against Hillary.

Lyin Cruz and his supporters are low life Thugs.

Does the truth matter to you? No, I am not a low life thug, and I don't appreciate being called one just because of the conservative candidate I support. I expect better than this on Free Republic.

Oh no...I’m mostly libertarian anyway (at the federal level at least).

Like I said I was just encouraging Donald to continue his argument and apply it to his delegates too not just Cruz’s delegates. I mean if he’s going to cry about a private party being unfair...he should at least attempt to be fair himself.

Repeating a meme over and over doesn’t make it more intelligent.

Logical fallacy: Argumentum ad nauseum.

In Florida, people voted.

In Colorado, the votes of the people were thrown out in favor of the Party.

Why are you defending totalitarianism?

Voting means nothing if your vote doesn’t count (like in Florida). So the majority of people in Florida will have their voice heard in the first round of voting at the convention. That is not democracy.

If it makes you feel better we can have everyone in Colorado vote...then say the delegates will only vote for Ted. But at least they voted.

*Yawns*

Argumentem ad nauseum.

Repeating your Florida meme doesn’t change the fact that the entire vote of all the people was thrown out in favor of what the Party wanted.

You can whine about WTA states, but at least the votes were counted.

In CO, no votes were counted except the ones that the Party wanted.

Why are you defending totalitarianism?

Why?

Is your hate-on for Trump THAT hard?
