The Yellow Kid points the way to yellow journalism...

Donald Trump is right: The system is rigged. It’s rigged in favor of front-runners. That’s why Trump, who is leading the Republican nominating contest, has a larger percentage of delegates (46 percent) than of votes (37 percent). Unsurprisingly, Trump never mentions when the rules have helped him. He much prefers to whine and peddle conspiracy theories when they don’t.
Trump’s latest tantrum is over Colorado, where Ted Cruz just swept all 34 of the state’s available delegates. Trump is calling the results “totally unfair” and on Twitter he asked: “How is it possible that the people of the great State of Colorado never got to vote in the Republican Primary?” If Trump is so concerned about states’ not holding primaries, perhaps he should renounce his victory at Nevada’s caucuses.
Colorado is one of ten states and four territories that opted for caucuses or state conventions over primaries. That does not make it undemocratic. In fact, on March 1, in community centers, gymnasiums, and churches across the state, 60,000 Colorado Republicans attended 2,917 precinct caucuses to elect delegates to the county assemblies and congressional-district conventions that convened during the following weeks. The district conventions send 21 delegates to Cleveland; and at this weekend’s state convention, more than 600 people chosen by the county assemblies competed to be one of Colorado’s 13 statewide delegates. Nothing was “stolen.” This is how Colorado’s delegate-selection process works.

The GOP-e minions.
More lies from the National Review. Who reads that rag?
Trump is flogging Cruz by 20 points outside of the home boy states. Now they say Cruz will unite Holy rollers of Utah and Idaho to bring victory in the general.
The Yellow Kid points the way to yellow journalism...
If this is correct why are so many Republicans in Colorado so pissed off? Why are so many that weren’t going to vote for Trump pissed off? National Review can **** ***. Rich Lowery I hope you read this. I will never read anymore than an excerpt on FR of your rag again.
NR is on the Cruz Superpacs’ payroll. Anyone who can read FEC.com can figure this out from the public documents required to be submitted, which are displayed there. Duh. They are counting on stupid Cruzers who refuse to self-inform.
What’s a National Review?
I used to faithfully read a mag of the same name.
When it was headed by a Conservative.

Cruz has lost it fair and square and should step aside for the sake of the country.
If his continued efforts at thievery split and destroy the party,
we’ll be saddled by Hillary or burned by Bernie.

Cruz lost the primary vote and is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe)
in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to the winner.
Cruz is a sore loser turned traitor against the grassroots voters.
And the foolish neophyte thinks the GOPe is going to let him have a shot at the presidency
if he helps them block Trump?
Laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

Look, Trump is saying "there was no vote". Maybe that explains why his supporters didn't show up to the votes that were indeed held on March 1. If he didn't know there was a vote, why should they?
National Review, like Obama and sports teams, but NR has been picking loosers longer.
Ping to six.
BTW I agree with JR;

“This is how Colorado’s delegate-selection process works.”
ROFL. And that justifies it?
In Cuba the process also works like that. The sheeple have no say on who wins. Is that ok too? Fidel Castro has been winning elections this way for a long time.
Wow great minds think alike!
Diabetic open borders faggots.
Trump is using the publicity of the unfair system to bolster his numbers with people disgusted with establishment politics.. it will only help him from here on out through California.. brilliant move
While Cruz is just a loser, no matter how you slice and dice it. Even if he wins the Republican primary he will remain the loser that he is.
Show me the lie.
“Colorado is one of ten states and four territories that opted for caucuses or state conventions over primaries. That does not make it undemocratic. “
It pretty much does in my view. Making it difficult for the regular, non party hack people to decide is what, if it is not undemocratic?
