Yep, another piece of condescending tripe from the bowtie crowd at Townhall.

Communications from Cruz supporters seem to often have an element of condescension.

It's more than condescending. It is bullshit. Take for instance this statement: "They [The Founding Founders & Framers] want[ed - they're all dead now] a nominee who gets on the ground, walks the neighborhoods, shakes hands and does the hard retail work at the grass roots. That's what Ted Cruz has been doing to win his delegates."

You walk the neighborhoods because you want the popular vote. To get delegates, you work on the delegates - buying them off or selling your soul which is what Cruz in fact has been doing.

And as we saw in Colorado, they decided they could dispense with the fiction of a popular vote altogether.

The framers and founding fathers also claimed to have a dislike of parties. Well we got parties, and the parties certainly don't represent the will and the interests of the people.

Once CO happened we saw through the system - we saw that there is no legitimate defense of the system - not as a political system designed to represent the will of the people. And yet, they keep trying to defend this private club paid for out of public monies.
