That’s a juvenile comment and the fact that you like it says the same about you.

The WSJ worm is turning and the maggots that have fed on the tripe there will be flying off soon enough.

I’m just surprised that Mr. Trump didn’t look into the Constitution first before he got into the election.

Article. II.

Section. 1.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

***********************

The first primary wasn’t until 1910 in Oregon, pushed by the Progressives.

There is a reason that the Founders set us up as a Republic, and with strong state’s rights. As others on this thread have noted, look what happens when the masses DO take over and vote in folks like obama so they can get their welfare and free phones, etc.

Voter fraud and disenfranchsment is obviously a big thing, and should be rooted out. But sending delegates that are “voted” on to a state conference isn’t that. Voted is in quotes - I think it was stand over on this side of the room, raise you hand, etc. That is how they have always done it - and it is non-binding. I think that is why the state did not go with the actual vote as they were not set-up for a vote to make sure it was all done properly and securely.
