To equate delegate wrangling and party insider candidate selection with the equivalent of awarding delegates based on voter preference is patently laughable.
Further, to continue to dismiss common voter preference with American Idol fantasia or voter vacuity/gullibility or the like is absurd.
It is true that the Constitution leaves voting up to the states because of division of powers - Federalism, but the intent was based on a fundamental understanding that somewhere, somehow, voter preferences would be at least considered. Even in “open primaries,” there are still choices for the common voter.
To translate that ideal to a place like Colorado where no statewide voter preference referendum was held at all and call that tit-for-tat with states that award winner-take-all delegates or any variations thereof reeks of “by any means necessary.”
Rules may be on Cruz’ side, but the voters are not. We are going to see a tsunami today, and in the primaries where voters can make there wishes known thereafter. Stand by your rules, and you will be standing on the side watching the opponents victory speech. You can take that to the bank.
These Cruz supporters have a very hard time dealing with context.
Yep.you must break the system first.
