“What just happened in Colorado should, frankly, disqualify Cruz, who claims to be a constitutional conservative,”

Just finished reading the Constitution again and still couldn't find any directions on how state political parties are to hold their primaries.

The Constitution says the states can select electoral votes however they want. So.....why couldn’t a state select its delegates however it wants? But.....whatever you think of it, the Colorado state Republican Party is an organization that gets to write its own rules and select its delegates however it wants. So what’s the problem? If trump did the exact same thing that Cruz did - all well within the rules until demonstrated otherwise, and won all the delegates, neither he nor any of his supporters expressing all this faux outrage would have a problem with it. He’s a spoiled brat and a crybaby.

Savage is nuts. But how about this: Cruz can renounce Colorado results if Trump gives up the 22% delegate benefit he gains from the overall system.

The rules are the rules. Whiny Donald is not above them.

Party primaries are not constitutional processes. They are intra-party processes to select candidates any which way they choose.

What it does do is expose the true motives of the ruling class, because the people don't differentiate the primary vote from the Constitutional office vote when they see their "vote" taken away from them.

Even though primary voting is a sham, the reputational damage to the party is enormous when they play fast and loose with the process.

Nuts!

Hell NO!

That would be like a turkey lobbying for Thanksgiving! We are a nation of laws. We are a Party of rules. Hate them? Then revise them BEFORE HAND. Until then, get a clue as a campaign and MASTER them! (Which is what Mr Trump is belatedly going to do now with GOP rules-wizard and delegate-hunter extraordinaire Paul Manafort aboard.) If there was malfeasance, sue the Cruz Camp or the State Parties. Problem is, more of incompetence here than malfeasance. Go home and burn your delegate credentials over your kitchen countertop all you want, but FIRST follow the delegate selection rules.

That’s what an honorable person would do.

But, of course, St. Ted is devoid of honor.

On what basis? Because Cruz is organized and did his homework?

Savage has gone even further around the bend.

That requires ethics and scruples, and Lyin Ted is bankrupt in that area.

He knows how to navigate it. He knows how to work it. He knows how to turn it to his advantage,” Limbaugh explained. “You have to look at this and say, ‘OK, what does this tell us about Cruz

. Why does Cruz know 'how to navigate'? If Cruz was truly an 'outsider' it stands to reason he'd be making as many delegate misteps as any other 'outsider' and Kasich would be cleaning up. But that's where the GOPe hand-holding comes in, which uncloaks Cruz as the vindictive personality he is. He is statistically out of the running, but like the child running for high school president, he's definitely not above enlisting the help of bullies in sabotaging the more popular kid.

No, that would be disenfranchising all the Republicans who actually showed up to their local precinct caucuses (the majority of whom chose Cruz).

I once heard Savage destroy a caller that agreed with him on some issue. He didn't just destroy him. Savage said he was either born without testicles or had them removed. That's an exaggeration but not much of one. The point is Savage ruined a guy who agreed with him.

This was ten or twelve years ago. I turned off Savage that night. I could no longer imagine listening to Savage's opinion on ANY issue. Today I can't imagine what anyone could tell me that would cause me to alter that practice.

I can't see what possible reason Cruz...or anyone else...could POSSIBLY have as a motive for using Savage to encourage or reinforce an opinion.

I can't imagine Cruz listening to Savage as long as it takes to laugh at him.

That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.

Savage... It is a private organization that made its’ own rules nearly a year ago. There is NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING, in the constitution about establishing private political parties.
