The primary process is not a democracy. Never has been.

So what’s the point of voting? The parties and their candidates bombard us with ads telling us to vote, but in the end its all a big charade. The party apparatchiks decide all.

I’m sure many delegate votes are purchased with various political favors. Such corrupt deals effectively negate the votes of the common man.

So what exactly stops YOU or any of us from learning the rules in our state and choosing to participate. Nothing.

People are blaming Cruz for building a grassroots organization rather than running a reality TV show and calling it a campaign.

IF YOU wanted thing to be different YOU could have gotten off your butt and done something other than whining, like Trump.

BTW we aren’t a democracy, we have been a representative republic.
