-- Yep. And I don't think it is being coordinated at the top. I think it's the grass roots acting naturally to save their positions and power from the Trump wrecking ball. --

Yep, "so-called" grass roots. These are the petty tyrants, same people who do the zero-tolerance garbage at the school board level and other assorted nonsense. There is no shortage of that type of personality.

There is more than one line of defense for the insider's game, and it seems to me that the courts are in on the game too.

And yet, in a state with 140,357 registered Republicans, less than a thousand showed up to vote, a turnout of a fraction of a percent.No matter how you try to spin it, something stinks about that number, compared to average turnout in other states.

113,038 Wyoming GOP voters voted on March 12th, in their county conventions. If you're going to smear a Conservative state and its process, you might want to do a 4-second search as to how and why those 903 folks picked and assigned those 14 delegates yesterday.

We Freepers seem to be a reactionary and lazy lot these days. I really miss the days of reasoned debate, informative and insightful commentary, and spirited humor.

Holy cow! Unlike a lot of people on this forum, you actually get it!!!

Donnie has cried tears and complained about rigging votes in every state he hasn’t won. I believe him and a lot of people here believe we should crown him King Donnie of the US.

As you mentioned, there is no political rigging going on here. The states built these rules many, many years ago. They were agreed to by all of the candidates. If they don’t like them now, well, tough. Get out of the race you feel is unfair because they aren’t handing it to you, have a glass of milk, and sue someone. In other words, do what you are good at.

You and me both!

[freespirit2012]

Well, I guess we just disagree.. I could probably agree on using only proportional representation.. But, you do understand by leaving voting to the establishment, that Jeb Bush would have won all the Wyoming votes if Trump had not already eliminated him.

[Nero Germanicus]

America has been and will remain greater than ANY one president, no matter who that person is. The nation has suvived some real losers.

[eartick]

Holy cow! Unlike a lot of people on this forum, you actually get it!!!

Yep, amazing what a high school education, working for a living and a lot of common sense will get you these days.

Oh and another thing. Not slobbering over a candidate that is nothing more than a charlatan and yankee carpet bagger.

Skip to comments.Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders Revealing Our Elections are Rigged: “The Illusions of Choice”
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 4-17-2016 | sundance

(Nick Bernabe via ANTIMEDIA) Denver, CO — The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on the American people.

Events from the last week have exposed the system as an illusion of choice and a farce. They have reinforced at least one study showing the U.S. is an oligarchy rather than a democratic republic.

The Wyoming democratic caucus took place on Saturday, purportedly to allow voters to have their voices heard in the race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sanders lost the Wyoming caucus by winning it with a 12 percent margin.

Wait, what?

How does one lose by winning 56 percent of the votes? This happens when the political process is, according to the New York Post, “rigged” by superdelegates. The Post summed up this “strange” phenomenon:

“[U]nder the Democratic Party’s oddball delegate system, Sanders’ winning streak — he has won seven out of the past eight contests — counts for little.

“In fact, despite his win, he splits Wyoming’s 14 pledged delegates 7 to 7 under the caucus calculus.

“Clinton, meanwhile, also gets the state’s four superdelegates — who had already pledged their allegiance to her in January. So despite ‘losing,’ she triumphs 11-7 in the delegate tally”. (link)

Even media pundits on MSNBC openly called the process rigged:...

Cuz he IS the evil one.

To each his own.

He’s not the one for me.

[Slyfox]

To each his own. He’s not the one for me.

Why did you even bother to respond to me?

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Because I can?!

Because your meme is false imo and I stated my opinion.

Deal with it

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

‘It isn’t that Cruz has a good ground game. It’s that the GOPee has planned this “Win by Losing” strategy from the get-go. Cruz is merely their last ditch candidate.’

I think there’s a ring of truth in that thinking.

And when you factor in the way Romney sabotaged races, it really stinks.

I really do not care what you think.

Deal with that.

“I have a tinfoil hat you might wanna buy.”

I’m sure Grampa Dave can afford your hat, but he has no need for it. But are you willing to also sell your personal, highly coveted MORON hat too? I doubt it. It is your reason for being!

[wildbill]

Are you seriously suggesting that whoever you like for the nominee, presumably Trump, is going to overturn a system that has been ruling the world for millennia?.

Now you are wading into beliefs that are pretty deeply Messianic and the province of cultists and folks with tin foil hats.

I never debate religious beliefs.

[Iowa David]

No. I am willing to sell my MORON hat.

It has never been used, it is bright red with a logo saying Make America Great Again.

Nothing says I am a MORON better than wearing that hat.

[stephenjohnbanker]

400....

No MORON hat

NO hat period.

Trump policies are to the right of Regan

Cruz is a subsidiary of Bush/Goldman Sachs

Good luck! (not)
