What Trump People Don't Get

[Seruzawa]

It is simple. Follow the money. Paid hacks.

[stockpirate]

They do seem to be in droves.

[Williams]

Total bull dingy. Did you see the Missouri party chair says he will remove Trump and Cruz supporters with “badges and guns”?

The “citizens” don’t know about or attend party conventions and there is no venue that could hold the numbers that voted in the primaries.

[Grampa Dave]

Now get back to your jobs, pay taxes, and let your Republican Party betters manage this enormous undertaking!

[mkjessup]

The best response to some of these supporters of Ted sCruz is the Iran Nuke Deal that he claims he opposes. The fact is the Corker Bill was created by the republican leadership, Corker is a republican, Ted sCruz cosponsored the bill and voted FOR the Corker bill.

Lyin' Ted's flexible honesty on display. "He was against the Iran Deal before he was for it"

After that just ignore their posts. Most work for the Cruz campaign or the GOPe. We’ve had this every election, paid trolls show up and once the election is over they’re gone.

I think that there has been greater than normal success in outing those despicable sleaze bag trolls this time around, and I can't say enough for those on our ping list who have worked tirelessly to expose them, and I say *BRAVO* to all of them.

One election we had a troll who was posting 24/7, so it had to be several people in an office posting in shifts. Some of course are democrats

Democrats, GOPe, "What difference does it make"(as Hillary Rotten Criminal would say ...)

[Pelham]

Lucky for you, you’ll then have some company.

[gogeo]

D@mn straight...Obama has plans for those $$$.

[Grampa Dave]

Everyone wants our tax $’s to spend for their personal bs.

[cornfedcowboy]

Trump supporters(I am guessing over 50% on this board) want the GOP destroyed. The party needs changed, not demolished.

[dforest]

You are wrong. We are going to change it. The GOP as it is now is not acceptable. The oligarchy has to end.

No Trump supporter is calling for a new party unless it is necessary.

[cornfedcowboy]

You are spot on. The spineless leaders of the last eight years of Republicans have brought the party to this place. I don’t car if you are a Trump or a Cruz supporter. We are both wandering in a political desert searching for a home.

[Chuzzlewit]

Agreed. Spot I analysis. Cruz is a spoiler. And Gingrich is right it’s just outgoing to happen and they know it.

[Parley Baer]

No nonsense about it. Those 54 delegates are unbound. Only the 17 are bound.

[SaveFerris]

The Corker Bill did it for me. And then the Chicago thing only confirmed my decision.

[SoothingDave]

But the voters get to choose the delegates from their congressional district. You said the voters don't get to choose. They absolutely do.

Yes, they are unbound, but the different campaigns have put up different people (or the people have volunteered) to run. It is becoming public knowledge who supports whom or who pledges to support the choice of the CD.

I have gotten mailers telling me to vote for Smith, Johnson, and Williams if I support candidate X.

[EDINVA]

“The Founding Founders & Framers knew what they were doing when they set up the Electoral College to indirectly choose the president.”

Certainly Michael isn’t comparing state party bosses to the Founding Fathers & Framers, is he?

There is a single process, nationwide, to elect the POTUS. There are nearly 100 ways to select delegates to do the nominating. Each state has (at least) two parties, each with different rules. This is apples and oranges and I am frankly disappointed in Michael Reagan for so poorly understanding the reaction of mere commoners to the way some of the states choose to select their delegates.

[altura]

You say tomato, I say tomahto.

[PLMerite]

“then why does Congress pick the president if no one gets a majority of the electoral college? “

Incentive.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

“and let your Republican Party betters manage this enormous undertaking!”

They couldn’t better a compost heap!
