I have to wonder at what point our dear gop leaders will stoop to outright buying the delegates.
And if this is how it works, there is no reason what so ever to pretend that we have primary elections. They can ‘select 2,472 delegates and have a private party at a Marriot Resort and they can select our next potus.
No need to waste hundreds of millions of dollars.
No need to spend a year on the campaign trail.
No need to take everyone’s hard earned donations.
No need to have volunteers sacrificing their time.
No need to jam the TV with non-stop terrible ads.
And, lest we forget...
No need for a young man to die traveling to the Iowa caucus to volunteer (Carson.)
What a wasted pathetic party we have pledged to support.
They want your time and your money, just not your vote!
GOPe needs your TIME and all your MONEY, just not your VOTE
But you don't understand the PURPOSE of the eighteen-month reality show called CHOOSING THE PRESIDENT 2016™.
The purpose is not to allow voters to have a say (although sometimes they do). It is to shrink every possible leader down to size and to drive all the newly-created little people to the "center", making sure that whoever is elected, nothing ever changes.
If a candidate gets off script or acts out of character, the REAL decision makers - the iron quadrilateral of consultants, pollsters, infotainment media and donors - will quickly make short work of him or her, making sure the public knows he/she is "stupid", "a clown", "unprepared", "unpresidential", "a slutty stewardess", a "racist" (meaningless), a "sexist" (even more meaningless), and so on.
When their power is challenged they first escalate, then they start to panic, which is what is happening now.
Just as "consumers" are supposed to buy the products the advertisers suggest, "voters" are supposed to behave themselves and do as they are told.
why bother with voting primaries when the GOPe can nullify voters if the outcome is not GOPe approved?
