“Just like Trumps kids are too lazy to register to vote, Whining Donald it too lazy to read & learn the different state primary rules.”

Rules mean things. Here is another example of rules:
Did you see the news report/film of the Colorado man who burned his Republican registration due to supposed “rigged” treatment of his being a state delegate when he couldn’t get into the state convention as a delegate? He said he would never be a Republican again. This film was shown on major TV stations. Here is what actually happened:

The Republican rules in Colorado are a voter can go to the precinct convention and perhaps get chosen as a delegate to the county convention. At the county convention, one may be chosen to be a delegate to the state convention.

This man went to the precinct convention and was elected to be a delegate to the county convention. HE DID NOT GO TO THE COUNTY CONVENTION. So, he shows up at the state convention claiming to be a delegate. That is what actually happened in this case.

Those rules are the same as Texas except Texas has a primary election and Colorado doesn’t. In Texas, vote on primary day and attend the precinct meeting at the end of voting day and perhaps get selected to attend the county convention. I ran county conventions for years. Delegates are selected there as delegates to the state convention. At the state convention, delegates are selected for the national convention.

Rules mean things.

The rules can be changed at any time. That is the rule.

In the beginning was the word, and the word was changed.

Thanks for the insight.

A candidate really does need a large, solid ground game in each state to competely understand and do everything within the rules to secure there delegates.
