Political parties, not voters, choose their presidential nominees, a Republican convention rules member told CNBC, a day after GOP front-runner Donald Trump rolled up more big primary victories.
"The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nomination. That's the conflict here," Curly Haugland, an unbound GOP delegate from North Dakota, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. He even questioned why primaries and caucuses are held.
Haugland is one of 112 Republican delegates who are not required to cast their support for any one candidate because their states and territories don't hold primaries or caucuses. Even with Trump's huge projected delegate haul in four state primaries Tuesday, the odds are increasing the billionaire businessman may not ultimately get the 1,237 delegates needed to claim the GOP nomination before the convention.

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
Translation: We will guarantee the election of the Hillabeast and in doing so, will destroy the GOP.
North Dakota
Please pick up your idiot.

Not even have primaries? The sunlight sure is bringing out the cockroaches.
Go ahead, nominate a Cheap Labor Express candidate.
Every Republican down to dog catcher will suffer.
That is pure wishful thinking that is not based on any delegate math.
I didn’t think anyone in the GOPe was honest. Guess I was wrong.
Time for a new party where voters choose the nominee.
He was told to say this, so they could test the narrative and gauge the sentiment.
the party is composed of republicans that vote republican in the primary
the north dakota piss ant is feeling his oats

The GOP hell, it’s our country that will be destroyed. Hillary appoints 2-3 Leftists to the SCOTUS and the 2nd Amendment is history for starters.
Americans stand and fight NOW or we’re done. Forever.
Disgusting statement but it is mostly accurate
I’m not a Trump guy. But if they steal it from him, I’ll vote Trump for every position on the ballot for a decade.
The republican party was basically “walking dead”.
Well now is the time to put it 6 feet under.
And I as a voter have to right to not vote for the loser that you pick. I will not vote for anyone they hoist if they steal it from Trump (said as a Cruz supporter). Say what you want I’d rather see Hillary than allow the “party” to pick. The party is just like the country, it is people and people vote, screw you money peddling elitists.
I do that currently for “Judges”. I always write in my own name every time.
