If one had to pick a theme for the 2016 election it would be the success of outsider insurgent candidates. In the Democratic primaries socialist Senator Bernie Sanders has momentum on his side after defeating the “inevitable” establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton in seven straight contests.
The Republican race has seen several outsider candidates enjoy their moments in the sun this election. Before poor performances in Iowa and New Hampshire forced Carly Fiorina to suspend her campaign, she showcased her sharp intellectual skills at every debate. With an impressive command of both domestic and foreign policy, Fiorina set the early bar for debate performances and remains near the top of all of the candidates short lists for VP.
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson is another outsider who enjoyed success in the GOP primary this election. After briefly catapulting to the top of the polls late last year, Carson fell back down to Earth after many voters (and campaign staffers) became concerned that he did not have a firm grasp on policy. Carson’s plea for a more civil tone in the election has largely been disregarded, but he remains a highly favorable figure to most conservatives.
By far, the most successful insurgent candidate this year, though, remains real estate mogul, Donald Trump. However, Trump’s bombastic persona and often controversial rhetoric has led the GOP establishment to try to take him down, even rallying behind Ted Cruz — who on just about any other election year would be considered the outsider candidate.
Now we have (yet another) report of election fraud in an attempt to stop Trump. A now-former delegate in Colorado claims he was stripped of his title for voting for Trump, giving Cruz all of the Colorado delegates. To continue reading and watch videos from the delegate himself, continue on the next page:
Finally a man with a soul.
If they really mess up this election, we the American people should not vote them out, we should force them out, remove them immediately and detain them for their crimes, enough of the criminal occupation of our government!
This is one more reason to vote Trump
The GOP and Ted Cruz has proven one thing to me. They believe in the Power and Political Corruption of the Government over the Democracy and The Will of the People!
Trump 2016
Crazy shot ! Just buy ammunition and stuff !
These are the stories that bother me. If Trump gets outplayed then he gets outplayed. However, if games were played to achieve some desired outcome then you just have to throw the b******t flag and investigate. It sounds like the establishment stacked the deck with anti-Trump supporters (it’s all a game to Cruz and his supporters) to shut out Trump. They actually dismissed a Trump supporter from being a delegate. C’mon man!
Fight N Stand!!!
What is your cap key stuck? You had better check Cruz’s record as well!
Why???
Crazy!! We are leaving Republican Party and became independent..
Trump is only one hope for USA!
He is not corrupt politician like Clinton, Sanders and Cruz…
Vote for Trump!
