The system is rigged.
Water is wet.
Sun comes up in the East.
Life isn’t fair.
The reason he’s winning the ‘rigged’ argument is because everyone can see it for themselves.
Even the Cruzers here on FR who argue that Trump is benefiting from the system in ‘winner take all’ states are tacitly admitting the system is rigged.
Not a peep on T.V. about whats going on in Maine.
>The more restrained version, as you can see in a recent op-ed published under Trump’s name in The Wall Street Journal, is that the candidate who gets the most votes should be the Republican nominee — that delegates shouldn’t upend the people’s verdict.
Yep. People innately agree with this idea with is why CO and voterless victories has been such a disaster for Cruz.
it is working because that is how we, the majority base feels about it and sees the truth... Trump is our hero brave enough to speak the truth and is our voice, GO TRUMP!
In the end, I think Trump and Co. will thank the CO GOP for assuring him of a victory in California by overplaying their hand and showing Cruz up to be an insider hypocrite.
Sure seems like it. I haven't heard any Ted Cruz supporters explain any reason why Cruz tumbled so much in the polls, post-Wisconsin. I don't know what else it could have been.
Vote Trump
It’s working because the system IS rigged and Trump is the only one who’s brought it to light. For instance in my town we’re voting on Tuesday in Pennsylvania. On my doorknob tag I had a sample ballot for republicans and only one piece of literature for John...I’m a loser...ksick. Nothing for Trump, nothing for lyin’ted. You tell me-rigged or honest. no contest. Can’t wait to leave this party and register indie.
Like explaining how the Mexican’s are going to pay for the wall, he and his team are really doing a bad job explaining this.
Even something like: Right, the rules are the rules.
The party insiders call Colorado and tell them, look put all the delegates towards Cruz.
The rules are the rules! would work better than how they are explaining it...
”Article II, Section 1, Clause 2: 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.…
12th Amendment: The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; ..."
From a related thread …
Patriots need to understand that, since they grew up with a POTUS nomination process corrupted by political parties, they wrongly think that the process somehow compliments the Constitution.
In fact, the political parties are only not defined by the Constitution, but they exist to control 10th Amendment-protected state powers and associated state revenues that the corrupt Washington cartel has been stealing from the states since the end of the Civil War, and arguably since the administration of President George Washington imo.
In fact, note that one of the very few powers that the states have actually delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, to decide domestic policy is to regulate, tax and spend for the US Mail Service (1.8.7).
So a key question concerning the political parties is, how many political parties does it take to manage the US Mail Service?
I say none.
Remember in November !
If patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to not only support the president, but also surrender back to the states state powers and state revenues that the corrupt feds have been stealing from the states.
In fact, note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
But with Trump’s path to 1,237 delegates on such a knife’s edge,
Knife’s edge? LOL. What nonsense. The GOP isn’t going to commit suicide for such a lousy candidate like Ted Cruz.
Funny stuff coming from a guy who made a fortune off rigged systems, all the while successfully convincing millions who entered his casinos that they really had a chance.
Which bathroom will Trump use today?
it was Wile E. Cayote grinning as he set off the dynamite that blasted his sorry singed hide off the side of the mesa to go splat on the canyon floor. It is certainly the most comic move in American electoral politics.
HOW TO STEAL A LAWNMOWER
o Quit whining that your neighbor STOLE your LAWNMOWER.
There are rules.
He owns a private company.
o You are such a wimp! It’s just a LAWNMOWER.
Your neighbor had his delegate son steal it.
You need a majority of his family agree to return it.
The no voter win says you lose, unanimously. No juries.
Your neighbor is now coming to steal your REFRIGERATOR!
And if you riot or threaten, he wants you arrested.
Populist claims, void of facts, always appeal to the masses, eager to hear how they’ve been victimized.
Most commonly associated with Democrats.
