(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.

it has already been on here stating that there I no where that absentee ballots go out to people during the votes for delegates and een if they did who the hell would John Smith be when people don’t even know who the guy is?
Seems you can call me that but when others have called you that then maybe others have a point and you do not, not that I would expect you to understand that.
earning by the way of paying them off more like.
which is why people have had enough of elected officials.
Say one thing and then do another.
The RNC stated it wanted to make a bigger tent and then they have rules like this which excludes people .
Yeah but I didn’t know so many hypocrites were on FR. It’s quite sad really.
The guy with 22% support who has “the most” and wins will have a hard time getting support from the other 78%.
That is exactly what has been happening. Heck, most states don’t even get to vote during the primaries. Of course when the rnc keeps 17 people in the race to split the vote, you get what you get. It’s all an illusion. They have very conveniently put all these things in place state by state. Some are open primaries, so they can get the dnc to help them out some are closed, where they think they have it in the bag. Some are winner take all, some are proportional. We get it that it is a rigged system. If you don’t, fine.
I have been answering your questions to me. I have one for you. How do you get Cruz the win when the dems will have the kill all the gays video on everywhere on facebook, comedy shows, news media, twitter, instagram? Serious question.
Yes, earning. Cruz got people to go to the meetings and organized his supporters to elect delegates loyal to him.
Trump sat on his ass and called his friend Hannity to complain.
You think the latter is “earning”?
your posts are making less and less sense. Please stop. At least I’m going to stop replying to your posts unless you make an intelligent coherent comment.
Which candidate won the GOP nomination with 22% of the delegates?
Why can’t you follow a simple argument?
If the rule is “the guy with the most wins” then what is to stop “the most” from being an absurdly small number in a crowded field?
I have never seen this video where Cruz is saying kill all the gays. Please show me. That would be devastating if he really said that. Link please.
Don't hold yourself up as the paragon of virtue.

if it does not make sense then it is because you are not understanding and then there was the time on this thread too where you stated don’t post t you, then you said I might have PTSD and I need to seek mental help.
LOL
I never said Cruz said this. Do a you tube search with ted cruz and kill all the gays. It will come up. IF you don’t want to do it now, wait until after the nom. It will be EVERYWHERE.
Primary are also where the National GOP has manipulated the slate of candidates and has used that to control who the delegates are .... NO THANK YOU. We have been down that road and did not like it then and do not like it now.
You want to run your state delegate selection process that way, fine. Feel free to do so. Leave us alone and stop with the elitist attitude that you know what is best for Colorado.
Do you know what a caucus is? It is a physical gathering of people in a meeting hall, where they divide into groups af supported candidates and then try to convince, via debate, the others to join their groups.
How does a deployed military person participate in that?

I don’t think they have ever wanted a big tent. It was always a ruse to get their amnesty passed. We have to reach out to (insert group here). I just know if they steal this thing, I am done, and for the first time I believe a whole lot of others are done with the rnc too.
Too me, stealing is giving the nom to anyone that does not have the highest delegate count.
I question how the establishment makes their rules t suit themselves.
How do you expect the other 78% of the party to support the 22% candidate your rules give us next time?
In a Republic you may not vote directly; but, there is an expectation that you are represented by those chosen as your proxy. What has become more and more evident is a lack of good faith.
