“Party officials” are not the voters.”

*********************

I see that in 2012 over 180,000 people attended their local caucuses in Nebraska and voted for people to send to the state convention. The hundreds of delegates that they send to the state convention are “unbound”. At the state convention there were 33 people elected (by those hundreds of delegates) and those are bound.

Anybody can go to their neighborhood caucus as long as they have a photo id and are a registered Republican. I gave a $15 donation that was requested at mine (Washington State). I was elected to go to my district caucus. I think that had a required $15 fee.

Any voter could attend. Ours was mainly Cruz supporters. Probably owing to the several emails and a call I got from Cruz volunteers. Too bad Mr. Trump doesn’t do that. Although his big rallies and media buys are what he is going after, which may be the winning strategy.

Democracy in action. Someone tell Tramp he has to get elected, not selected. He can’t just whine to MSNBC and demand that RNC install him as the nominee, circumventing the democratic process and long-established laws and rules.

Thanks for proving Nebraska failed in its duty to announce the Primary.
