This is the Establishment pissing into the Peoples' faces
and deeming it rain and vitamins.
Never got a majority....
.............but got more than any other candidate in the running.
So that means none of the other candidates got a majority either and got less votes than Trump.
tl;dr
Who needs voters? I wanna win and whatever means are necessary is cool, and you should be impressed when crooked politicals use them.
We still totally expect you to show up in November because Hillary is corrupt.
Trump’s going to win 32 states most of them Democrat or Swing states. Cruz won’t win 16 states.
Cruz has won a few safe GOP states and country club holy roller contests.
Sowell has written every other oped saying Trump has huge negatives and should be robbed.
The world’s greatest intellectual, Thomas Sowell, ph.D, is correct. In Donald Trump, people are electing Barack Hussein Obama again with less experience and knowledge then the current idiot/phony in office.
We can survive as a nation with a bad president as long as they put the country first, secures its borders and promote fair trade. We cannot survive as a nation when a President is an open borders, free trader globalist owned by the banks.
Ready for the Trumpanzees to spend the next several hours screeching and flinging poop?
Sad to see the great Sowell slouch away from us this year. At this rate he’ll be Beckian by November.
The huge crowd of Washington insiders won’t rest until the Republican nominee is one of their own - a lukewarm vanilla republicrat who can be guaranteed to play the game by their rules.
Bet the farm on it.
They’re fat, rich, empowered and contented, and they don’t want anyone rocking their boat.

Pretty much sums up a substantial portion of FR these days
The people will decide that for themselves, Mr. Sowell...they're funny that way.
There's a dynamic at work here you seem oblivious to, Sir...many of the people are in a lather, and in no mood to be lectured by their 'betters.'
I have been an admirer of Thomas Sowell’s work ever since he came on the scene in the 1960s under the tutelage of Milton Friedman and William Buckley. I have followed him closely through the past fifty years, bought many of his books, read a lot of his newspaper columns, and listened to many TV and radio interviews. I generally agree with his economic and societal opinions. However, at this point in time, in both his old age and mine, I have found that I must part company with him on the matter of the election of Donald Trump. Further, it is puzzling to see him rant and rave about Trump in ways that are nonsensical, frivolous, and downright ridiculous. I attribute the same sort of intellectual stupidity to Limbaugh, Levin, and many others that I used to respect but no longer follow.
As I see things, the fraudulent elevation (I won’t say “election”) of Hussein Obama, the monster, to the presidency and the willingness of the RINOs to aid and abet this obvious fraud in support of his programs was a pivotal moment in American history. Similar to the “Sack of Rome”, it undermined and destroyed the last vestiges of what remained of the Constitutional Republic of old we all knew and loved and replaced it with a NWO, globalist, UniParty cabal. The Rule of Law is not going, it is already gone. The illegal and illegitimate actions of the US government operating under a lawless tyranny during the entire eight year “reign” of the thug, Hussein, and his Marxocrat minions with the RINOs in league with their corruption and criminality, has totally changed the political landscape.
This new reality is hard to accept for many people, including Sowell, Limbaugh, Levin, and their ilk. They have been shielded from the worst excesses of the collapse due to their financial and social positions. The rest of us, though, the struggling and declining middle class that suffers daily and has been cast aside for the benefit of welfare moochers, illegal aliens, and globalist corporatists, has watched this destruction happen year in and year out, all the while seeing that the blather and bull that the “conservative” punditocracy has shoveled for decades has resulted in nothing but a relentless advance of every leftist evil beyond the mind’s dimensions. I now cannot recognize this country anymore from the one I knew fifty years ago, when I first started reading Sowell. I now live in Sodom and Gomorrah.
We are at a revolutionary moment where the election of someone like Donald Trump to the presidency is the last hope if this country is ever to rise from the ashes. I’m not even sure such a thing is possible anymore. The people who have elected the Marxocrats and their RINO colleagues year after year have destroyed what was once the greatest nation ever conceived by man. We’ve all watched this happen, brick by brick, during the past fifty years. At this point, I will throw in with Trump and his people, giving the electoral process one last shot to try and save this country. If Trump is not elected, then I expect, like it or not, I’ll have to go to the front, shoulder a rifle, and man the barricades in the next Civil War that will surely happen as we descend into total chaos.
Isn’t it obvious, Dr. Sowell?
The elites are ignoring the voice of the people no matter WHO we vote for.
The whole, entire process for selecting candidates and thus, indirectly choosing who will be President has become impossibly screwed up.
With regard to primaries, specifically: The electorate is undefined, and therefore of questionable importance. The idea that the NH Republican primary (in which registered Republicans and unenrolled people can vote, as well as Democrats who change their registration at the polling place) is representative of committed, loyal Republicans with an investment in the success of the Party is absurd.
