I don’t understand why you are so giddy that millions of voters potentially will have their votes negated & thrown to a candidate they did not vote for or support? I know you hate Trump, but doesn’t it bother you that the political system is rigged like this? Really, it goes against what this country was founded on. Whether it is your candidate or not, you should be bothered.
It occurs to me that Cruz supporters are completely okay with any kind of shenanigans he pulls to subvert the will of the people. They are no better than liberals.

Actually, I misspoke and hit the "post" key too soon. I'm sure that *some* Cruz supporters are honest people who really do believe that he is a true conservative who will bring the US back from the brink of disaster. But others see exactly how underhanded he is behaving and cheer the dishonest behavior.
Dishonesty and winning at any cost are NOT conservative values.
Good points. If the establishment had their man like in the past, Romney or McCain, this nomination would be over. Cruz needs like 88% of the remaining delegates to win this outright. After New York it will be virtually impossible to get the nomination outright. In 2012 late in the Republican race, Santorum faced needing 75% of the remaining delegates and he withdrew.
It speaks volumes that if the GOP establishment had their nominee, this would be over, now they are going to try to take it by hook or by crook because they don't.
It's amazing these Freepers don't realize they are ultimately helping the corrupt GOPe establishment or they don't care because the ends justify the means. I hope they realize, that's how commies or statists get things done.

Do you understand why there’s an Electoral College, and it’s not just the straight democratic vote that elects the President?
The parties function similarly. It’s so there’s a check on the people getting tricked into making a really poor selection. That’s the situation we’re in with Trump, in my opinion. His positions on illegals and Muslim immigrants/refugees have resonated. I wish other candidates would move closer to them. But those positions and his other broad brushed slogans (Make America Great Again) don’t make up for the fact that he’s not stated any realistic plan for making them happen. Further, he is often inarticulate, has a highly questionable moral compass, has a volatile temper, and his views on many important issues have changed like the wind over the years. In fact, he’s well known for rubbing elbows with the Clintons and other unsavory types. ;-)
I think the nation could do far better for a President. Thank goodness there’s a way for it to happen. Whatever the outcome, it must be God’s will, right?
He gets off on taunting the FR Trump people.

These have been the rules forever! Trump didn’t figure it out until he heard Cruz had more delegates than him in LA. This is a sign of how he would run a presidency, day late, dollar short, low info.
These people are evil!
Trump has only gotten 39% of the popular vote in states that have already voted. Even in states where he won, he usually won with a minority vote. I don't hear anyone carping about all the people that DIDN'T vote for him being disenfranchised by the system because their delegates are bound to Trump.
