When the establishment attempts to sway delegates toward their preferred candidates, pundits claim that they’re just playing by the rules. When Donald Trump tries to activate conventions delegates, he’s using the “dark power of the crowd.”
That claim came directly from the New Yorker, who insisted that Trump’s convention play resembles election tactics used in the Middle East’s most unstable and corrupt countries.
The rules have been clear from the beginning. Get 1,237 delegates, or face the uncertainty of a second ballot. Both Team Trump and the establishment are aware of this fact, yet the media response to the two couldn’t be any different.
While Ted Cruz has positioned himself well to net a significant amount to delegates on a second ballot — as evidenced by his sweep in the Colorado state convention — Donald Trump’s call to action has many wondering if his brand of populist politics is clever maneuvering,or something much more devious.
See the New Yorker’s opinion on the matter on the next page:
If the Republican Party wants to continue beyond this election, it had better cut at the self serving, greedy, weasel, professional cry baby politician bull$#%&!@*or the better percentage of members will leave! EVERY REPUBLICAN I TALK TO IS WISE TO YOUR GAMES, WE WILL ALL QUIT!
Hey, GOP, RNC. Rules are rules, right? Just playing by YOUR rules. And doing it a lot more honestly and peacefully than you are! Screw me once, shame on you. But we learn fast. And one thing we’ve learned is that you keep changing your crooked rules and creating new crooked rules in the middle of the game. Yes, rules are rules, and we can learn those rules and be forced to play by those rules. Doesn’t make them honest, right or good rules. And we pity you that you don’t understand and know the difference. You hate us because we see you for what you are: a group of greedy, pathetic, scared little bullies. And you’re afraid because you’re facing something bigger, more important and infinitely better than you’ll ever be. WE THE PEOPLE!
I actually like that phrase, “Dark Power of the Crowd”. The dark power that will reveal the light of right.
