(Nick Bernabe via ANTIMEDIA) Denver, CO — The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on the American people.
Events from the last week have exposed the system as an illusion of choice and a farce. They have reinforced at least one study showing the U.S. is an oligarchy rather than a democratic republic.
The Wyoming democratic caucus took place on Saturday, purportedly to allow voters to have their voices heard in the race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sanders lost the Wyoming caucus by winning it with a 12 percent margin.

No they don’t.
I believe I saw where Trump gets 22% advantage. Rush mentioned this via NBC. I didn’t validate it though.
I did look at Florida and he got 100% of the delegates with less than 50% of the vote.
first I would not come to your house , but if I did and you had some rules I would not bother going to your house, thus to compare maybe millions who voted for Trump should not come to the general right?
The rnc begs for donations to get r’s elected. They certainly have never said they were rigging the system to their guy. They pretty much gave the impression, by holding primaries, that we the people decide. But it is all a fraud. There is zero reason to have this convoluted mess, other than to game the system.
I’ll wait for you to read my post 103.
Rush who is beholden ton the sponsors of his show.
Ever thought of taking a week off form Rush and making your own mind up
“You do understand that Colorado DID vote. We voted for our precinct delegates to the State Convention AS WE HAVE DONE SINCE 2004.”
Could you please give me the vote break down Trump/Cruz Thanks!
The voters do decide — when they give a majority of delegates to a candidate.
“There was a vote in Colorado. No matter how many times it’s repeated that there wasn’t a vote there was. Ok how did they “select” the delegates in Colorado then if no one voted?”
Could you please give me the vote break down Trump/Cruz Thanks!
ok read it, here is what you said to clarify and now can you tell me how does a candidate work for those delegates as you said Trump should and he did not?
You get your people named as delegate by doing the work and organizing. No bribing needed. Just show up. Trump didn’t show up.
He lost.
Is it bribe, pay off, send them on vacation, blackmail?
Tell me how does cruz and the establishment work for all these delegates.
Delegates are picked before most people start to really run for office so how does cruz get these delegates now he has figured the voters don’t want him?
I am well aware of all of those things, what i do not understand is how so many seemingly intelligent folk can fall can fall for the deception promoted by trump, a flim flam man if ever there was.
how many voters voted for cruz and trump please?
It seems you aren't allowed to talk about how Trump has benefited from the same system he's whining about.....without being called a GOPe hack or worse.
You are also not allowed to discuss how there seems to be something "off" about a man who signs up to run as a Republican and is now pushing "talking points" that mimic Socialist Bernie Sanders....or how this "Republican" refused to invest the time, hardwork and money into building a ground game so he could win the primary nomination.
You also aren't allowed to discuss the fact that if Trump, as a brilliant businessman/deal maker, can't win the "GOPe primary nomination" with the rules being published beforehand.......how the heck is he going to win against the Senate/House to push his agenda.....or beat the Iranians or ISIS? I can promise none of them play by rules that Trump would think is fair.
Perhaps you did not understand. The mom and pop grass roots republicans do not vote for candidates. They vote for their delegates. This is just like voting for your representative for Congress.
There is no, was no Trump vs Cruz vs Kasich vote. The votes were for the delegates.
the rules set forth by the establishment to benefit who they want and to deny the voters their right to vote. You happy with the establishment?
Usually everyone at the convention votes for the winner who came into the convention with a clear majority.
A person committed to Paul who changes his vote when it is inconsequential is inconsequential.
Ultimately, in a contested convention everyone is unbound and there will always be horsetrading. It’s politics. There must be delegates who change in order to resolve an impass and arrive at a majority.
Is my son who is in the marines allowed to vote for these delegates when he is away or is the delegates voted by a few chosen people?
None.
No one votes for their candidate. They vote for their delegate, much like voting for a congressional representative.
Tell me these delegates were chosen wen last year, OK so was cruz talking to them last year ? Nah did ‘t think so, but I ma interested in the so called rules.
Delegates chosen in CO by whom, the voter you said, OPK then if one of my son was in CO and is in the marines based overseas are absentee ballots sent out to allow him to vote or are people working out of state allowed to vote for these delegates?
. I think Trump realizes he’s going to lose to Cruz so he’s attacking like a madman without logic
What are you smoking? LOL
Seriously, do you not realize that playing that horrible video of Kevin Swanson shouting and waving a bible saying kill all the gays, then shaking Cruz hand will sink him. I could not ever admit to vote for him with that video out there. Most of us in real America, could not admit to voting for someone who shares a stage with someone who sounds like a muslim extremist. Honestly, he should have just shake hands with someone wearing a KKK hood. I’m sorry, but that video alone cannot be overcome.
On a more serious note though, I supported Cruz because I thought he really understood the Constitution, and then I find out he’s actually Canadian and his father is Cuban. I don’t know how people who really love this country and it’s founding docs. can look the other way. As a nation, we are having everything sold out in front of our very eyes. First elect someone with false doc, now, go all the way with this globalist crap and just nominate someone from another country. Very, very sad.
No voter allowed to vote for the candidate got it.
I have asked this , but would one of my sons in the marines be allowed to vote if his state was CO by absentee for these delegates?
