When you call the GOP, complain about Trump getting more delegates per vote than Cruz or any of the others!


Trump now leads the Republican field with 756 delegates — or 45 percent of all delegates awarded to date. Yet he has won about 37 percent of all votes in the primaries, according to the NBC analysis, meaning Trump’s delegate support is greater than his actual support from voters.

That’s a tree not the forest. The big picture problem is not rocket science to anyone who is not stuck staring at one tree so long they get so cross-eyed they think the fuzzy thing they see is the whole forest.

What happened In Colorado is indefensible on any coherent, rational, ethical, or moral ground. Everyone know this. THAT is the big picture, that is the forest - and exactly why Trump is so much more popular than any other candidate. THAT is why there is a movement like we have never before seen in American politics. Trump is blowing up the status-quo Americans have HATED for so long. And Colorado gave him more ammunition in that fight for freedom for establishment elitists cramming what they want down our throats.

“Cruz told the Colorado crowd earlier that it’s easy to talk about making America great again — “you can even print that on a baseball cap” — but that the more important question is which candidate understands “the principles and values that made America great in the first place.”

Does that mean getting in bed with and wildly fornicating and fluffing every establishment elitist he can get close to?

Wow he makes me sick. To think I bought his book “A Time For Truth”. I actually believed he was “the only principled candidate in the race”. He proved how stupid I was to believe him. Six months ago no one would have believed Cruz would be where he is right now - in bed with the GOP elite.

I’ll still vote for him if he is the nominee but I’d like a refund on the book.

GOPe damage control BS, that's all this sort of diversionary trash about the percentage of votes not matching the percentage of delegates is.

Delegates were awarded in proportion to the votes cast save for those the Republican GOPe, in their great wisdom, added to the total the overall victor in the popular vote received.

IOW, it was all clear and directly related to the votes cast with a bonus for the overall winner.

Unfortunately for Snake Cruz, he doesn't come out as the overall winner much and never will.
