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.
Paul Cherry You will not find the word democracy in the Constitution or in the Declaration of Independence but I will sure admit that I was not aware of these crazy rules not to mention that each convention will have new rules as soon as they make them up I always knew it was rigged but damn Republicans are going to destroy their own party
OH NO YOU DONT!!! Missouri is my State and Trump already has the delegates won in Missouri!!!
Cruz acts like Obama and Obamas voter fraud
They should all be arrested!!!!!
He has NO reason to drop out
HOGWASH! Wake up people! TRUMP acts just like Hillary..he should have been a dem! He is just like it. You want to spread lies, I will refute every single one…..you are blind!
NO LOOK AT THE FACTS instead of believingein this site which is in the tank for TRUMP
Amber is butt hurt
This thread exhibits EXACTLY what is wrong with this country! People do not want facts, they believe anything sites like this say! I like some of what this site says, but I am a CRITICAL thinker and despite their name they do not always say the truth!!!! NO, none of what I say is true because *I* say it, it is true because I HAVE EXAMINED THE FACTS AND AM NOT A LOW INFO VOTER! These Trumpers do not care about truth just as their leader does not. It is disturbing. I don’t agree with everything Ted says, but my word Trump lies left and right and you people can’t see it!!!!!
Shame on you TRUTH and action for your lies! Shame on you for your name and loving someone who is the biggest liar in the GOP race and TRUTH speaks against you on this one.
