Florida was a public vote. I personally would not mind having proportional delegates. At least the rank and file had a say and Cruz was rejected by 83% of Florida voters. He was rejected by Virginia, NC, SC, Ga, FLorida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Arizonia, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont all in public vote primaries. Cruz has only won Texas, Oklahoma, Utah, Idaho and Wisconsin in public vote primaries.
After the next two weeks Cruz will have also lost New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delware and Pennsylvania public vote primaries. He will finish third behind Kasich in half of them.
COlorado was GOPe insider voting. The vast majority of people cannot attend local precinct meetings, run for precinct captain, go to,district and state meetings. The vast majority of Republican voters work, have kids and church events, and other family responsibilities.
Sick of the GOPe and sick of the insider selection tactics. We win when the public supports the candidate not when the insiders select the candidate.
100% correct.
1,079,000 voters chose Donald Trump in Florida. He earned 99 delegates.
Had the Colorado caucus/ delegate BS occurred in Florida, you would have had 99 delegates for Jeb! this race was custom cut for him to win!!!
Again, If Jeb had Colorado-ized the Florida rules, he would have stayed through Super Tuesday. He would have picked up those 99 delegates from FL good ole boys and would have won the nomination.
The internal polling on Jeb in Florida was under 20%. He had to leave.
But Cruzers, cronyism would have won him this race, guaranteed.
That isn't necessarily true. The public is capable of making monumentally stupid decisions too.
