This whole nominating process for both democrats and their just as evil twins the republicans has really opened my eyes. What a load of horse shit. I don't care which goofball you support the system is fully and hopelessly corrupt. To say that voting matters to either major political party is laughable. We do not, nor have we the voter, ever mattered. This is all one big smoke and mirror game and never mind the men behind the curtain...

The most disgusting aspect of all of this is that over the last eight years the republicant party has done NOTHING but bend over and give the democrats every damn thing for which they have whined. If the republicant party spent just 10% of the effort they expend destroying their own on attacking the current "leaders" then maybe we wouldn't be in such a word of shit.

If nothing else I will be happy to see the republicant party die the death for which it has worked so hard.

90% of the time the delegate system is a formality. One of its purposes is to sort out plurality elections. May seem stupid, but on the other hand only 37% supports Trump. Not a recipe for victory. Contested convention is supposed to bring about a unity ticket just like coalition governments in Europe. Reagan tried this 1976 by declaring a moderate VP before first ballot. It backfired as it disenfranchised his base and FORD won but lost the general.

40 years later it would have worked, but Trump got nasty with all opponents and everyone is against him. Early on I thought we had a Trump/Cruz unity ticket but that horse has long left the barn.
