“She lost her delegate position in a 22-5 vote to Kim Fralick, a Cruz supporter with no experience in a major political campaign.”

ya....cuz experience in a major political campaign is so important when you’re a committed delegate????

Didn’t the Rob Paul folks manage to do this in 2012? Get the delegates to the convention from some state despite losing there (and everywhere else) to Romney or Santorum?

Of course in that case it wasn’t so relevant since it didn’t affect the eventual nominee’s chances of getting to a majority of convention delegates.

That is how the game has always been played, if you want to win you have to play the entire field.

It’s only 10 delegates, the majority of delegates still come from voting and caucasus.

Trump won areas with open caucuses where Democrats could choose the GOP candidate.

Which liberal will the Democrats choose in the general election?

Not sure I agree 100% with you that, “But the real problem is the media.”
I have been growing more and more dissatisfied with the Republican party for damn near 30 years.
Just wondering, but do you think those long voting lies in Phoenix were just an isolated incident? Maricopa County went from over 200 polling sites to 60?. Even with voter registration up? No this was designed to shut down Trump and Sanders. I think they succeeded. Sanders was beat bad and Trump was held to under 50%.
Now the Republican party is doing the “Super Delegate” thing. As I said, We vote - They decide.
It looks to me like the Soap Box and the Ballot Box have failed.
