Sources close to the process who work for the RNC, but are not authorized to speak on the record, confirmed to Breitbart News throughout the evening on Saturday that that is standard operating procedure for the RNC and the party as a whole for all debates: Donors get tickets while voters have to watch on TV at home.

Corrupt to the core. Stack the deck with insider donors.

It backfired on them. Americans have had a belly full of the D.C. con-game.

Trump was right again. They were the big donors who were booing and cheering the candidates.

Didn’t backfire on them, Trump shoved it back in their face.

Yet another reason why my faith in Trump is solid.

America is angry, Trump is angry.

I honestly hope to see him talking to some rag head nation leader like that.

“You’ll have a good mix of people who are donors, people who are donors and workers, and people who are just workers,” Groover said, noting that he got “a couple of dozen” of tickets to hand out to the party’s faithful donors.

And they cheered Lindsey Graham and booed Ted Cruz when he brought up illegal immigration.

The RNC/GOPe/Neocon Uniparty elite thugs have been the overseers of the Faux Conservative plantations since 1961. These overseers keep trying to trick/betray/control us to stay on/in their faux conservative plantations by selecting their ilk/puppets as our candidates. They lie and promise us conservatism and when elected $crew us daily in congress and as POTUS! Or stack debate audiences with their hand picked thugs ordered to boo Trump and cheer for their idiots!

In NH, Trump and his voters ignored them. His voters then voted big time for Trump. They won and broke the rules of the plantation masters by voting for Trump in NH. This is scaring the hell out of our former neocon GOPe masters of the faux conservative plantations and their ilk, the Club for Growth.

It is wonderful to see this decades old, long standing corrupt political system disintegrating right before our eyes. This corrupted system hates working Americans. It rewards illegals and those who bring them into America to freeload off the American workers slaving in the faux conservative plantation.

We are seeing a paradigm shift with us selecting our Presidential Candidate, instead of the GOPe/Uniparty elites, who hate us, selecting our candidates.

There is a Black Swan event occurring with the daily suicidal self wrought destruction of the GOPe, UniParty, Open Border Thugs, DC faux pundits, Faux News, ABCNNBCBS and the left wing fish wraps. Something similar may be happening with the DEMes.

Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, The Club for Growth, the UniParty, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollsters and focus groups, Faux, ABCNNBCBS, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.

We have escaped from their faux conservative plantations. We are not going back for more lies, abuse and mistreatment from our former GOPe masters.

We will vote for Trump and destroy them!

If people would stop sending money to the RNC, all of this would go away. I was sending money directly to Cruz (until he pulled those two stunts in Iowa.)

Look at the internals of the after debate poll by CBS. The headline is about Rubio winning the debate but the internals point to Trump!

The poll was not bad. If one looks at individual questions then it is close to my own thinking. I say Rubio was the “debate” if one wants to call it that with Trump Second.

Which person would you trust to nominate Supreme Court Justices. Cruz 17 (1st) Trump 16 (2nd). Rubio 3rd, Bush was last.
Which candidate has the best chance of winning in November. Ttrump 44%, Rubio 22%, Cruz 14%

Who has the best preparation for President? Kasich 22%, Trump 20%, Cruz 16%

Which candidate best represents your values? Trump 27%, Rubio 16%, Carson 16%

Which candidate would do the best job on each?
Economy and Jobs Trump 55%, Kasich 19%, Cruz 9%
Terrorism. Trump 40, Cruz 18, Rubio 17
Immigration. Trump 44, Rubio 20, Cruz 13
Bringing needed change. Trump 45, Kasich 15, Rubio 14.

We saw what they did in MS.
They are capable of much worse.
As I am sure we will see.
The Cheap Labor Express will not allow us to elect anyone who would stop them.

How do you explain the UNBELIEVABLY loud cheers for the curly haired nut case Rand Paul, when he was still pretending to be a candidate? His cheers were ten times louder than anyone elses. I think Trump was booed for spouting liberal talking points. What do you guys suggest here, that Trump was NOT cheerleading for Planned Parenthood and re-litigating Iraq? Two of the liberal dearest causes? Get a freaking grip.

If I were Trump I think I’d do something clever to shove this right up the RNCs butt.

For example, walk into the next debate with 10 checks for $100,000 each - a million dollars - in his pocket. Pull it out during the opening remarks and say “I have here $1 million that I am planning to donate to veterans organizations right here in South Carolina (or wherever). But if this audience of GOP donors acts disrespectfully, I will tear one of these checks up. That is a $100,000 penalty for bad behavior. Do it again, and you will have to explain why you robbed veterans of $200,000. And so on. Behave yourselves and treat all the candidates with equal respect, and you can go home tonight feeling like you helped earn a million dollars for vets in your state. Or you can explain why you put the orders of your GOP masters ahead of their needs”.

Debate audience is a visible symptom of a real establishment disease. Both moderate establishment and conservative establishment are controlled by consultants who depend on money for their livelihood.

These consultants who control the campaigns have no time for volunteers who get their friends and neighbors to vote for their candidate. These consultants are more interested in their own (financial and ego) success than the election success of their candidate. Success is being able to rub elbows and go to dinner with the rich. Success is being able to control the donations and activities of the rich.

That is the establishment we all face.

Yes, Cruz got the shaft too. They weren’t only leaving Trump people out. I never got a ticket for Cleve. when I was asked by an email I received at 3 AM I answered it immediately. Two days later they told me the seats were already filled. On the TV I saw plenty of empty seats. I will NEVER give the GOPe another cent. Mine all goes to the Tparty.

Great rant, Grandpa!!!

By the way---check out the money men for Club for Growth and you'll find a lot of overlap of donors to Cruz 2016 Super Pacs. There's no space between Cruz and Club For Growth.
