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.
Isnt rigging delegates…. illegal like extortion…. But my thinking is this we are going to be a country of laws or we are going to be a free for all ……

Cruz should be a man and get out he has lost.
William Bach the ignorance of so called republicans of the system that has been in effect for decades, to select who represents the majority of republican voters, is appalling, it’s sheer ignorance of those who claim that the system is being twisted , or corrupted, or stolen, every State chooses it’s own system (States Rights) the COWARD Liberal Democrat trump, who supports LGBT to not have gender specific restrooms, is the only whiner, and only when he loses, if he doesn’t go into the convention with 1237 delegates, and it goes to a second ballot then trump will not be the GOP nominee.
Your ignorance is not a license to post b******t.
Ignorance
Ken Shambling you are an idiot.
