Who wants non Republicans picking Republican candidates? The Pary gets enough of that with the MSM helping to pick our candidates.

Arguing for closed primaries is one thing, but trying to unbind the delegates on the first ballot is patently absurd. Bound delegates is the whole reason that people vote in primaries in the first place.

Ted Cruz wants a system that is even MORE rigged for insiders, like the Democrat party with its superdelegates.

Cruz is trying to be subversive of the democratic process as this point. What a conservative hero. He's lost his friggin' mind.

Oh, and, by the way, Donald Trump won many closed primaries this cycle. About the only thing Cruz could reliably win was caucuses, which rely on collective groupthink and strong-arming by the party apparatchiks. This guy is becoming a joke.

Vote Trump!

Of course it is, and since it isn't going to happen, I don't know that we can attack it from any new angle.

The only first hand experience I have on this is in my own neighborhood. Cruz hasn't tried to rig anything here.

I suspect Cruz was the first in his group to know it wasn't going his way this year. Along the way to that realization he did and tried nothing undemocratic in Minnesota.

I promise all of his supporters in this state know he won't be the nominee this year.

I live in a caucus state. There is real effort in attending a caucus. People that attend tend to be opinionated. These things can get riot-like. About the time anyone tried to force a view down another's throat the argument would get way beyond verbal.

Vote Trump!

Seems like that's the plan. If you really are a Trump supporter, it's time for you to take, "Yes," for an answer. Cruz is done this year. Your opponent through the first part of November is a Democrat.
