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.
John Chism, religion has NOTHING to do with my beliefs or politics, Ted Cruz has a record of fighting for his constituents, he has a record for standing up for individual rights, he has a record of standing up for States rights, he has a record of standing up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, he has a record of standing against RINO’s and Democrats, he has a record of keeping his word to his constituents, he has prosecuted illegal alien rapist killers to death, and he has a stellar record of WINNING before SCOTUS, on your side you take the mere word of a liberal democrat, who is buying, lying, and smearing, his way to the Presidency, you tout a man who has been and twisted the very establishment you eschew, because he has spent his life taking advantage of the system for his personal gain, as something that recommends him to the Presidency, that is pathetic. I cannot fathom how an egotistical, blowhard, bully, buffoon, COWARD, merits such adulation from so-called informed republicans. You have let your hysterical fear of religion, or anyone who has faith turn your reasoning into that which you hate, as to your question about the contested convention, you can find your answer by simply looking back in history, since plain english doesn’t suffice for you. You are so far off the mark in your critism, you could not be more wrong.
Donald Trump? My opinion on Donald Trump but first the other candidates Bernie Sanders socialist not , Hillary killer b**** Clinton not , Ted Cruz & wife involved in NWO corrupt lawyer receiving dirty money from backers who will want their favors in return not. Donald Trump : I Steven Swift will not be voting for a democrat or a republican I will be voting for Donald Trump being a businessman and possibly can get our country out of the red in a given amount of time. Donald Trump is the only one who suggested to build the wall to protect my children your children our grandchildren and their future from Isaac Muslim terrorist this is a must. I will be voting for Donald Trump facts Donald Trump has spent pennies per vote versus any of the other candidates proves to be a businessman with a high IQ level fact. SHURE Donald Trump has some issues , he cannot keep his toupee on on a windy day ! I can live with that. Donald Trump believes in our Second Amendment and if anything he will make it stronger , one SHOULD ask how can you make our Second Amendment stronger? Answer there will be no more little red circles with the pistol inside freezone. Our military in recruiting buildings will carry. Those of us who concealed carry will not be limited to a few States but all states. I Steven Swift say : Donald Trump believes in ( DOING ) not just saying . Donald Trump is born in the United States of America – who bleeds red white and blue. Donald Trump wants to make our military strong again with great military leaders. God Bless America our troops and Donald Trump

He knows on a First Name Basis most Foreign Leaders and they Respect his Abilites..So who do you do you want for the next President? Another Golfer, A Pathological Liar and Killer, A Brain Dead Socialist that wants to give away the Country, or Maybe, Just Maybe we can Elect a True Leader this TIME!
