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.
Trump is the FrontRunner by a landslide. He has no reason to debate anymore, the people have made their choice known, and it’s not lying Ted
Sydney Moody, your pathetic excuse might be valid once, but not twice, nor his continued fear of debating one-on-one, face-to-face, with Ted Cruz, that makes him a coward in my book, and since you wish to attack me personally , I want to know how many years you served in the military, and what rank did you achieve, before you have any right to comment, HYPOCRITE.
Of course
It is time we did away with this delegate nonsense. Time for the citizens to elect the president.
Lying teddy at it again
Why bother to vote anymore if every thinis so rigged aginst the voter!! That man is the slimest man I have ever seen. He reminds me of what I visulize the devil!! All he needs is horns!! He and Killary would make good cell mates!!
As everyone is AWARE. cruz is a insider PERIOD. The idea that he is a NON-ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE IS A COMPLETE FALLACY. He’s been in DC politics his entire adult life. Like hillary, he’s wife is GOLDMAN SACHS WALL STREET MONEY. IF YOU GIVE A$#%&!@*ABOUT THE USA BETTER WAKE UP AND VOTE FOR TRUMP OR TRUST ME, IT WILL BE BUSINESS AS USUAL IN DC. WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK THE POLITICAL ELITES, THE MEDIA AND ESTABLISHMENT IN BOTH PARTIES WANT EITHER hillary or cruz. They can keep it business as usual. WAKE UP PLEASE FOR OUR COUNTRY, OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. TRUMP 2016
WOW, KEN AND AMBER ARE YOU REALLY THAT BLIND AND UNINFORMED. WAKE YOUR ASSES UP. cruz is as much a insider as hillary. Goldman Sachs ring a bell. Better do better on your homework before you vote. Ken, thank you for your service but if you look at the voting record in the Senate on Veterans Affairs, you’ll find the truth in the VA and cruz’s voting record. As you say, check out the FACTS.
If the COWARD Donald Trump doesn’t get 1237 delegates by the first ballot at the convention he will not get the nomination in the second ballot.
Paul, where we’re you in 2000. No complaints out of global warming gore. Please get your facts straight. As for these b******t rules, you must be blind to not see that it’s rigged on both sides. Yes this is a Republic and if you are a LEGAL US CITIZENS, EVERYONE’S VOTE SHOULD COUNT. NOT WHAT THE PARTY BOSSES WANT.
