No doubt.

but the adult player plays by the rules as they are , not the rules as they wish they were.

the ‘rules’...? there are no ‘rules’ in this game, except those that can be expedited by state officials and their national puppeteers to acheive a predetermined outcome...this year, not so much whom they want to win, but whom they don’t...

Gaming a system to benefit by its corruption is ‘playing by the rules’ ? Come now...

If Ted Cruz wins the general election, this woman and millions of Americans like her will be the reason why. Consider what she was saying: 1) I don’t like Ted Cruz. 2) My vote doesn’t matter anyway, because the election’s rigged. But – the all-important but – 3) despite all that, I will vote for Cruz.

Hmmmm - not long ago a lot of "un-likability" polls came out and many gleefully pointed out that Trump was disliked by more people - but they ignored the same polls showing that despite the likability issue, Trump also had more folks that would be willing to support him that those the dislike less....

Now it's the chic thing to point out that many dislike Cruz and some (at least one we know of now) will vote for him despite it.......
