Long, but needed. Mind if I refer to this post again and again?

I don’t mind at all.

But I was disappointed that I got a phone call in the middle of typing all of that, and forgot to emphasize more about the vileness of the bribery...

With respect to the “wooing,” aka legal BRIBERY, most honest Americans find bribery to be dishonest, immoral, etc. And yet it is perfectly legal and commonplace - and expected - within the CLUB, and within the delegate game.

Even the news media are now casually joking about the “wooing” on Fox and CNN. They are asking guests about what is allowed in the “wooing” game. None of them are screaming about all this BRIBERY.

They say, “It’s illegal to buy votes for candidates running for office, but they aren’t buying votes for candidates running for office, they are only buying delegates who are SELECTING who will become the NOMINEE to run for office.”

We, the People, cast votes for candidates in November for President of the United States. OUR votes can’t be bought. It’s not legal for a SuperPAC to give YOU or ME a membership to a golf club in order to cast our vote in November for Candidate A. But it is perfectly legal to buy a DELEGATE, and that Delegate’s vote, because that delegate isn’t voting for someone to hold Public Office. That delegate is only voting for a NOMINEE to run for an office.

So once again, those who are in the CLUB can be BOUGHT by the SuperPACs, but you and I cannot. And that’s why the GOPe doesn’t want us to know about what goes on behind the curtain. And that’s why they don’t want Trump.
