“If he had just made the effort, he wouldn’t have lost so many delegates. Why risk an brokered convention when you don’t have to?”
You just refuse to face and publicly acknowledge reality. There are plenty of voters and delegates who would and/or did vote for Trump, but the GOPe used a variety of fair and foul tactics to make sure those votes and delegates were never going to be allowed to proceed forward into the conventions. Trump and his handlers doubtless expected something like this to occur, and they just as likely recognized they would not be able to effectively intervene to stop what the GOPe wished to accomplish. Rather than act with futility, Trump and his handlers likely waited until the GOPe actually did something improper to give the Trump campaign the excuse to win sympathy from voters in other states at the expense of the candidate being backed by the GOPe.In other words, if you can’t stop the dirty tricks, wait and scream bloody murder against the offender to turn the voters against the perpetrators.
Sounds About right to me. Recognizing that the GOP leadership is sick of losing,but still keeps messing up. They are a different breed of pups,and so totally out of touch with their base that they are destroying any future they nay have in even communicating with them. You know that democrat leadership are a scummy,control freakish bunch of socialists,we expect better from the party of Lincoln and Reagan.
Utah and Hawaii had the same format as Colorado. Trump won these states. Where is the whining? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
