My morning thought as posted on another thread
In the bigger picture Trump walked on this deal. If he had stayed and gotten any delegates it would have been acceptance of the system. By walking and forfeiting the delegates he can bring attention to the no representation and lack of voting by we the people. The disenfranchisement of the American voter
Trump has again defined an issue and claimed it!
The party working of both parties is now in question He is successfully tying in Bern’s lack of delegates which will draw many of his supporters, when they too are disenfranchised by the super delegates to the Trump cause
He is going to win in a landslide in the fall We The People have had enough of corrupt party practices
That is in references to Colorado Debacl!
Manafort has the better and correct answer for this - and Trump is using the "no vote" meme for political optics, which is also fine.
Manafort said the rules aren't an issue, per se. The rules are fine (and there are entire states that have no primary, no caucus, no nuthin, but they send delegates to the convention), the problem is that the local players, meaning the Colorado GOP leadership, has manipulated interpretation of the rules in a lopsided and unfair way. I believe that is accurate. It strains belief to think that even the GOP "players" as a whole, likely a few thousand in Colorado, are that uniformly for Cruz.
At any rate, my point is that the system is okay - just like the legal system is okay. What happens is corrupt players and judges game the system so that it coughs up the result they want, rather than the result the system would cough up if it was applied as designed.
excellent point.
