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.
Yeah,,this is the$#%&!@*we need to get rid of !!!
Political Gaming !
Aka: cheating
Vote Trump!!!
So Ken Shamblin here’s a math question. If Trump can’t win with 37% how can Cruz win with 22% and a higher number of Voters 78% not voting for him? Seems like only the Radical Conservatives and the “Holier than thou” Zealots that make up a Minority are Cruzers. I’ve been a Cruz supporter. Until the Conservatives like you turned Radical. You’re the hypocrites that cannot live with people that are different than you or that have ideologies and opinions different than yourselves. In this you have created a new form of Socialism that everyone should conform to your opinions, ideologies and religion. That is far from what 3 of my Forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence for. It is far from what our Constitution says in the 1st Amendment that grants the freedom’s of religion or the freedom’s from religion if they so choose. Removing people’s right’s to be individuals to fit into your beliefs is immoral and simply wrong. I feel sorry for you and those like you.
Amber Dawn so Trump owe bank’s millions. He is a Multi-Billionaire. That would be like you earning$10,000.00 a year and making a $2.00 car payment every month.
Please, learn how to use punctuation.
So you would rather have your new socialism to force everyone to conform to your opinions, ideologies and religion? I guess the 1st Amendment needs to be removed so you can do it. Radical Conservatives and the Holier than thou Zealots that they have become, are just as wacky as the Progressives and Liberals, Socialist and Communist. It’s no wonder only 22% vote for Cruz Nationally. And of many of those, it’s because they don’t want Trump.
Doris…that is a Trump projection..you see Cruz is so much better behaved than Donald that all Donald can do is project hiw own sinfulness onto Cruz. I mean you are parroting lines from someone whose morals ethics and characters are like a pigsty.
John..he may owe billions. And He is a horrible example for everyone. He thinks children should be killed because their father is a rapist. He supports everything God does not..and remains unrepentant.
Amber Dawn I appreciate your conviction to your ideologies. But you’re so misguided. You’re blinded by your not being objective and your conservatism and your faith is like a wall in front of you.
Just people like you make me turn away from the Democrat party. There is nothing that appeals to me, I don’t fall for your scare tactics and bullying. It is this authoritarian personality that is most unappealing.
