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.
YOU have no idea what I do in the political realm so YOUR uninformed speculation about my supposed actions is pure arrogant nonsense and ignorance.
Now if we could get back to the issue at hand...it would not be hard to imagine how Mr. Cruz would react if he had won more states than Mr. Trump and the delegate tally was reversed. I think Mr. Cruz would self-righteously defend the significance of his wins and claim that it represents the will of the people. In fact, for quite awhile Cruz was happily claiming that he had "beaten" Trump in several contests in order to cast himself as a winner (he actually was not the real winner in terms of coming in first in some of those states however). Nonetheless, he tried to appear as the vote winner until it was clear he was losing and needed to resort to other tactics. Incidentally, the GOPe will probably disgard Ted after they're done with him. I suppose you would be OK with their interpretation of their rules.
