You are right I dont know who has and who has not been involved. I just know what happened in my district. And conservatives took 18 of 24 delegates. It is a small amount but at least we did more than complain like a bunch of Trump supporters are doing. And truth be told more of that 18 support Trump than Cruz.
But like I said we did some thing more than complain. This whole thing should be looked at as a learning experience for the next election after this. But I doubt it will. It seems as if a lot of Trump supporters will just complain and not vote if Cruz wins. Then next election they will complain again.
Like I said before if you think Trump supporters out number every one else get organized and become delegates and your numbers can write the rules for the next election.
I have several lifelong friends who have served in Congress and had a good friend who was a successful campaign manager. Unless and until people stop with the, "you need to get involved" BS (the system is carefully structured to channel those who want to "be involved" into meaningless slots) and start focusing on tearing the damn machine down while people are aware of and focused on how corrupt it is nothing will happen.
You want to know how to take over a national political party?
Simple, Chicago '68.
That's exactly how all the conservatives were eliminated from the democrat party and the radicals put into the positions that lead to leadership roles and nothing short of the same type huge mob at the convention is going to change the Republican party. Ever.
The way DC sees it, both parties, is if there are no mobs in the streets there's no opposition so the sheep can be screwed still more.
That's my 2 cents worth and no one wants to hear it now any more than they did in 2008 or 2012.
