The only fair election is November. The people vote in their state and winner gets the electorate. What is happening now is a travesty. Both parties are fed up. I hope they change our entire corrupt system. The founders never incisions this disaster. One person-one vote in the state. Winner gets electoral. That is fair!

The American government has become the worst in the world this primary. I hope both parties get together for a major overhaul! Elections have gone to the dogs. Since America is dying, this primary will surely speed up the death I hope.

Cruz and his pathetic number of voters. Cruz should be embarrassed and ashamed for stealing the primary. He’s a total liberal now. They are experts at stealing elections just like Cruz.

Cruz won 4 states that voters participated. He’s a loser in November. No way do patriots vote for this crook. Cruz is worse then Nixon.

Wow - great if you can win an election with no votes.

Isn’t that what they used to do in the old Soviet Union?

Mao won lots of elections with no votes, too.

America is changing fast.

Rules reduce the pesky voters way down in 4 years.

2,114 committeemen chose delegates in 2012.

903 committeemen chose delegates in 2016

They reduced voters by another 55%....Way to go Wyoming GOPe.!

Thats a whopping .03% of your voters

In 2020 we expect 400 voters.....In 2024 you’ll be gone for good!

The Wyoming plan is much like Colorado’s. Registered Republicans with lots of time and $ to follow each step of the lengthy process. They are more likely to be activists within the state party than general republicans interested in the presidential race. That has an impact on turnout and eventually the outcome of the delegate selection process. This grants the state party much more control over the process.

By having only approved committee vote for the delegates, the party is ensured their choice as opposed to the popular vote.

State parties change rules to exclude voters: The last poll (summer) had Jeb Bush leading. Bush-Cheney-> Wyoming! ... Realizing a near lost in 2012, Wyoming reined in the election process game for 2016.

2012 Primary Election results

Mitt Romney.........822.......38.99%.... 11

Rick Santorum......679.......31.93%...... 8

Ron Paul...............439.......20.83%...... 6

Newt Gingrich.......165.........7.83%...... 2

2016 Wyoming Caucus

Cruz votes-—————644...... 66.3%

Rubio votes—————189....... 19.5%

Trump votes—————70.......... 7.2%

2016 -—Dumped 1000 plus selectors. 275,573 Registered republican voters

903 Committeeman chose delegates. .03 % of eligible voters choose POTUS

You have lost it.

The great manager Trump is blowing the elections and is whining like an entitled 5 yr old. HE knew the rules he was arrogant enough to think he could win his way. WRONG.

As to the comparison to Nixon, you have totally lost it and sound like a fool.

At least he has better chance to beat Hillary than trump does. Trump is the only person in the world with higher negatives than Hillary. In 2012 we nominated the only person who could lose to Obama...Romney because he was the grandfather of Obamacare. Trump is the only person that can lose to Hillary.

Huh? I’m not saying make the delegates vote for Cruz I’m saying let the delegates vote to represent the will of the people. If it’s Rubio, Kasich, Cruz, Carson...whoever.
