You protest the voice of “We the People” for the uniparty.

Voters having a choice really stinks, eh?

How will Ted steal delegates in California?

Not in the usual way ~ http://www.drbongo.com/play/vbA

Yeah, I know its hard for you to grasp the concept of logical common sense, but here goes my try: it is not possible for Cruz to “steal” any delegates that Trump legitimately wins.

Delegates won in the Primary are bound for the 1st ballot, in most cases. If PT Barnum get’s 1237 on the 1st ballot, he is nominated.

What Cruz can and is doing, is to load the potential delegate pool with people un-sympathetic to Trump, which after the 1st ballot are free to vote for either Trump or Cruz.

What has Trump done since declaring his run? Bashed the GOP, then bashed Cruz and every other candidate that might cost him delegates. Trump has only collected less than 38% of the GOP Primary popular vote, but he has PO’s 2/3rds of all the rest of GOP Primary voters through his uncivil and slanderous antics. Those nasty Trump tactics may have enticed 1/3 of the voters to some degree or another, but now he is at the point where he needs the goodwill of many he has thoroughly alienated.

Now putting back on your reality cap. How does a candidate regain that good will he previously and callously trashed? Fact is he can not and that is where the 2nd ballot delegates come to play.

Outsmarting a smartass by knowing the rules that everyone knew from the start, is not stealing and continuing to whine won’t change that.
