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.
Yes. They do
Trump “University” STARTED FROM THE GET-GO in violation of thay simply by virtue of the fact that it was not an accredited UNIVERSITY. Any IDIOT wpuld have done research to know this IF they cared. Now I do NOT believe Trump is an idiot. I believe he didn’t care and that iy was a scam from the start.
If you want to debate the merits of Trump’s honesty and integrity I’m up for it.
1. Trump University
2. Trump Development
3. Trump campaign self funded
4. Trump “If anyone is out of line punch them in the face and I’ll pay your legal fees”
5. Trump under investigation for illegal campaign contributions to the Florida AG who happens to be the one investigating him for Trump University.
6. ” Yeah I give lots of money to charity”… finance reports say NOT!
There’s more… a lot more but you can nibble on those for starters.
Everyone touts Trump as “not a politician” as a good thing… he’s even worse!
Just reread your post and missed what you said about being self funded. You also said Cruz has no money of his own. Ummmm let’s see here. As of the March campaign finance report Trump had ~30% of his campaign financed through donations, ~69.5% financed through debt and only about $200K of his own money. The numbers are even more staggering for April.
Oh and woops for the typo “lier” from my phone touch pad. I’ll assume the same on your part about telling you and other Trump supporters where “were” wrong as you said. Please get real huh?
Yes. Trump. Is. Beating. Cruz. Like. A. Rag. Doll
Virginia Woods please describe how Cruz is “stealing” delegates? Or are you just regurgitating Trump talking points like everyone else?
I’m voting for. Trump
Ted. Bush. Cruz
The more I see of Cruz the less I like him.
Kasich is. Cutting. Social Security
Get. On. The. Trump. Train
Trump. For president
