The Donald is not my general.
As a North Carolina voter, it if helps defeat Trump and his New York Values in North Carolina, I am all for it.
Having said that, I doubt it is used much. Anyone legal to vote in the Republican Primary in North Carolina that does not like any of the listed candidates won’t be showing up to vote.
Beat you by 4 minutes! Haha
Trump and Cruz should bring this right up to the press and out the GOPe again. take it to the people and further end the a establishment Republicans.
If my state senator’s Facebook posts are any indication, the NC GOP apparatus is in the tank for Rubio.
This smells like a Bush machine operation.
If !Yeb ends up as the nominee...I am done with the Republican Party. I should have resigned years ago with Juan McAmnesty, and Willard Romney. But I have stuck it out. If they manage to install !Yeb as the nominee, I will leave. I won’t vote for !Yeb and will write in my own name on the ballot.
I like it, but I would prefer “None of the Above.”
We need it in all 50 states and DC for primaries and general elections.
The GOP process is being rigged in every possible way, all over the country.
A sister article is needed explaining the primary is not one-man-one-vote. A Republican in a Blue area can have 20 or 50 times more power than a Republican in a Red area.
Many delegates are selected at the Congressional District level, not the state level. An inner city district may have only 1,000 Republicans among 100,000 Democrat voters. A rural Red district might have 70,000 Rs and 30,000 Ds. The 1,000 Rs in the inner city have the same power as the 70,000 Rs in the rural area.
Second. In many states the beauty contest is at the state level. But the real contest is at the Congressional District level. The name recognition/popularity of the Delegate is as important as the name of the candidate.
Go through the list of delegate names. Jeb Bush has names that are high profile and well known. Some candidates have names I never heard of in areas where I follow politics fairly closely. What is the intelligence level of the canidate (and staff) that they run total nobodies as delegates?
If a candidate is incompetent to run a primary campaign, is he then competent to run the country?
Jumping through the hoops is a test of who is competent.
You got that right. He IS my general and screw the Establishment. They betrayed us in Congress in 2010 and 2014 and are STILL doing it. They need to be flushed out of office and down the bowl along with Priebus and the rest of them. They sold us down the river for paybacks from the CHAMBER OF Commerce, THE Council on Foreign Relations and other globalist crony capitalists. They would allow what has happened in Germany to play out here.
The only anti-establishment candidates are Trump, Cruz, Carson, Paul, and to a lesser degree Rubio. And right now only Trump has the numbers to kick their graft suckling butts.
“This is war. The Donald is our general, and we are his army.”
I am NOT part of “The Donald’s” army. IF I were put in a horrendous situation and believed I HAD to vote against people and Donald was the least objectionable I would vote while firmly holding my nose. I don’t like that he bribes people, I don’t like that he has been on every side of every issue, I don’t like that he’s been in bed with and contributes to democrats, I don’t like that he’s an untrustworthy, bombastic buffoon. I believe he would govern by edict and I don’t care to be governed by any dictator.
“Donald is our general, and we are his army.”
I also don’t like people speaking for me without my authority and counting me as supporting someone or something I’m not.
It may help defeat Trump but you would be ceding your vote to an unknown that most likely would go to the GOP-E and they don’t have your values in mind have become much closer to the New York values. The GOP-E has already given themselves a big advantage in primaries and at the convention.
