This election cycle, whether one has a horse in the race or not, is quite compelling. The fireworks provided by Trump and his bombastic campaigning and Cruz’ alleged delegate pilfering, not to mention Kasich’s refusal to see the handwriting on the wall, has made this season much like a train wreck, where one just can’t look away.
Perhaps, because of the Trump phenomenon, people are paying more attention than ever before regarding the election process and are being educated about what could happen should a brokered convention occur. However, should long standing primary and caucus rules, put in place at the state level, be changed because the tightness of the race is making that the candidates cry “unfair”?
The controversy in Colorado over Cruz’ victory stems from a vote to squash an initiative that would bring the state primary back, allowing Coloradans to vote. Instead the state still uses the caucus system to select the candidate.
Truth and Action quipped, “Strange things are afoot in the Colorado election process, with Cruz delegates, voting to crush an initiative that would have allowed Coloradans the ability to vote in a state primary. Why would the sponsor of the bill, Sen. Kevin Grantham, vote against it?
“The caucuses guarantee lackluster voter participation and the disproportionate influence of activists on both ends of the political spectrum who are not representative of the parties’ mainstream. Some romanticize the caucus system as the purest form of grass-roots democracy, but that’s only accurate if your idea of democracy involves excruciatingly low turnout — by design.”
Now Missouri is under the microscope regarding delegate selection and some Republicans are complaining about the process. Read about it on the next page.
B******t
Don’t put words in my mouth Mike, I said “for years” not “from the beginning of time.” Fortunately, the United States is a ‘Republic’ not a democracy as many have been misled to believe. Read the ‘Pledge of Allegiance.’ Our government is chosen by the ‘People or Elected Officials’
The U.S.A.’s Constitution clearly shows the U.S. as a Republic, Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. The United States Constitution

Trump is the Progressive Lying King, he’s currently even lying about being a republican.
Corruption
I doubt that amber I know truth can be blinding for you put your sunglasses on
Paul Cherry lol you’re Ted Cruz is done. And he did it totally to himself with his own lies, running around on his wife more than 4 or 5 times, Iowa debate f**e clapping f**e booing to get more attention. You’re Ted Cruz is a lying politician lawyer.
It’s the same thing Abraham Lincoln did… Stop whining cry babies! Nothing has changed in the last 150 years.
so debunked. I really feel sorry for you that you hate truth…and I aint yo honey.
Cruz is a disgrace to his religion and this country the only reason he’s gotten where he is is by lying and cheating and scams and the RNC fixing and rigging the delegates for his benefit, everybody knows that it’s not because Trump doesn’t know the process, is because they put the process in place for them to fix it to work in their benefit, how would an outsider know what they have done to make it in their benefit, you would expect it to be just like it should be the voters make the decision, no one other than the establishment would know the rigged process
Amber Dawn I feel so much more relieved now I ran out of burlap bags hey we leave knowing I’m not your honey
