The Republican party is not winnning friends or influencing people by saying to the Republican voters in 2016 your vote no long counts. Think about it!
The popular vote has always been honored by the Delegates unless it was very, very close like in 1952. We have a public election. We have all this money being spent. We have false advertising that say things like, “go vote”, “one man one vote”, “one woman one vote”, “every vote counts”, “you decide 2008”, “you decide 2012” and “you decide 2016”.
Now because the Establishment candidates have lost in the Republican Primary.... They are saying oh no because we changed the rules a way back, and because we lost we are not going to let you win! The Republican Party in 2016 is saying to the Republican voters that your vote no longer counts. I believe that is indefensible!
Even when the parties claim they have all this internal power. When the parties hold themselves out as a public watch dog on tv and radio. When they hold themselves out with this it is false advertising! I can show all the instances of “Your vote counts. Come join our party”. This is public fraud, and it’s very dangerous to VOID the votes and discard the WILL of the people. I can see this even leading to possible class action law suits for false advertising.
In any event, if we sit by and do not get upset, then it will normalize these Establishment fat cats who claim they now APPOINT who can run for office. If you select the candidates, then is that not a form of canceling the 2016 election? Therefore, we just wil have ceremonial events every four years instead of actual elections. Furthermore, are we not just like communist China where the party appoints its own Presidents and successors vs. having a real Primary where every vote counts?
We the people are not their subjects or surfs. The government are the servants to the people. That is what we learn in the Delcartion of Indepence, the U.S. Constitutuon and the Bill of Rights. If this Venezuelan/North Korean/Cuban corrupt election is allowed to get away with this, then what is next to fall? I think this country will turn into a banana republic.
I can’t express to you how disappointed I am with many so called patriots on TV and radio that cavalierly dismiss this as no big deal. My guess is they are either completely out of touch with reality or they are working for the other side.
He is a GOPe establishment stooge that is intensely disliked by just about everyone that knows him because he is an arrogant ass with a huge ego that will do anything to further is political career. He has no principles, no ethics, no morals, only ambition. He is not a conservative and he is not a constitutionalist and he is not a natural born citizen of the USA.

So, yeah... Other than being wrong about everything.... I hope you have a good day.
“...goes on reality TV and pro-wrestling when he doesnt have to, but just because he digs it or something.”
God forbid that a free American does something because he “digs it”. Shameful!
I don’t HAVE to take my vacation on a cruise, but I dig it, so I do it. How is that bad?
“Why didnt Trump know? Cruz campaign knew.”
Of course, “Cruz campaign knew”. His campaign staff has been required to read and study Plouffe’s book that relates to how Obama’s campaign was won. Cruz is following Obama’s guidelines on using dirty tricks to take out an opponent.
The first tactic, which he followed to the letter, was invading citizens’ privacy when it comes to data mining. Now he’s moving on to bigger, and more evil, tactics. Aren’t we fortunate to have such an upstanding man running for President?
Un-twist your panties. On a scale of one-to-ten when it comes to importance, this is maybe a minus two. Move on. Get through your stages of grief. You can do it.
“...Canadian born, with one parent being a Cuban Citizen at the time of his foreign birth,..”
And the citizenship of the other parent in question as well.
Trump will call for riots? You must be smoking the sofa.
There’s a good chance of riots occurring, but they wouldn’t be initiated by Trump. Frankly, after seeing the sleazy underbelly of American politics up close and personal, I have a feeling Trump would be thrilled to return to his business. There might be evil men to deal with there, but not as bad as Rove, Cruz, Priebus, et al.

Wow, and people call Trump a liberal for having liberal friends while Cruz is trying to become the second Obama.
Obama’s tactics only worked last time because Hillery thought they’d blow the party up if she fought back. In the end she chickened out and let Obama win.
Now Cruz is copying Obama’s tactics with the full and enthusiastic approval of the GOP against Trump. Unlike Hillery Trump doesn’t care if the party suicide itself over Cruz and he’ll go the distance and destroy the party if need be. Talk about an amazing primary.

I think that week he took off before WI was him mulling over dropping out when he realized what was up.
“Trump and his followers resort to name-calling when they can’t win on ideas.”
How’s the weather there in Bizarro World today?
What a REALLY stupid question for libylu to ask, why would Cruz know and Trump not know, Trump is NOT a political HACK, Cruz IS a typical, lawyer political HACK insider !!! We want to BLOW UP DC, Cruz IS DC!!!!!
“But holy cow he is an extreme orange wierdo.”
A Cruz-ite calling Trump a “weird-o”? Cruz’ kids don’t even want to be kissed by their beady-eyed, greasy, nasally, Dominionism King, father. Maybe because he gives free Teddy Bears to illegals and not to them.
Really, Ransomed; you need to move on. You’re like a Chatty Cathy doll, with the little recorder thingie stuck.
Sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the GOPe gave us Bush as the nominee. At one time he did say that he may not win the primaries, but he would be the nominee.
Well... we know that LibbyLu has “issues”. Bless her heart.
Your reading comprehension is lacking. Saying you think there will be riots isn’t the same as calling for riots.
To keep the peons from taking up rakes and torches.
