Politics is a dirty business, played by politicians according to their own convoluted set of rules. That is why it is so hard for a non-politican to win office. The rules keep changing, and the powers that be make sure that the insiders win so that they can all keep scratching one another’s backs.
This election cycle has been a particularly odd one, and the front runner for the Republican party is outsider and non-politician Donald Trump. That is not to say that Trump has been above his own set of dirty tricks, he has masterfully played the press, his opposition, and the public. One does not become a wealthy developer in New York City without gaining skills in the rough and tumble of business and negotiating.
One of the main reasons that Trump has gained traction is that Mr. Average Citizen is sick and tired of the games and cronyism that Establishment Republicans have been playing for years, leaving the average citizen in the lurch and keeping Wall Street and their political friends in the money. So it seems that finally average Republicans will have a say in who runs the show. But wait, not so fast!
See page 2 Republican delegate reactions in Colorado:
Scumbag socialists will do any rotten thing to win. This is the new Democratic Party.
This is why we need to take our country back.Term limits.This ia a prime example of voter disenfranchisement.
This is the real problem here. This guy wants to cast his delegate vote for Trump and they would rather have him removed to give Cruz two of them of the same # that’s b******t!!
Hell and damnation as my granny used to say ! ” It’s the system all have to play by , even Cruz ” , so that makes it right , huh ? Not even many of the astute politicos were aware of the rules in Colorado which certainly deprives the Colorado public of their vote ! OK , it’s the system , then the system stinks and must be changed ! What is so wrong with one citizen = one vote and the one with the most of THOSE votes wins ? Seems to me that we’re headed in the direction of old Mother Russia where the populace had no say and only party elites choose the leaders !
Rigged
I don’t believe that anything will bring the mainstream American conservatives together any faster than blatantly proving to them that their voice and their vote do not count! I am predicting that their days of fraudulently manipulating elections are over! You have just added election fraud to the heap…..to join an ineffectual Congress; an overbearing fraud of a president who hates the Constitution and believes that he can write his own laws; rampart illegal immigration being allowed; our jobs and our economy sent overseas; our hard-earned tax dollars being wasted promoting muslim immigration and other projects not to the benefit of the American taxpayer; and foreign aid being given to countries that despise us! Enough is enough…..it’s time that we stand together, fellow Americans, and start to change things!
One down…..
Vote for Trump! Cruz is a cheat!
This is corruption through and through
Ed Douglas I think your right on being unprepared I wish that hadn’t happened. Seems states are changing voting rules. Have to wonder why. I’m sure this voter fraud had been going on for years. I feel that is how Obama got in. Trump isn’t a politician and that makes the rest ahead of him. Yes the campaign should have checked closer. But today a man on Facebook daid he WAS a delegate and as long as he votes Cruz he could vote. Otherwise not! He is upset and sounds like he knows who is up to no good. I don’t agree with cheating and manipulating the system. I happen to believe Trump is the man our country wants and the elites are afraid of him getting in. They have a lot to hide and they are upset. Trump has guts. Probably not the personality that should b presidential but I’m not worried about that. He will do what he promises and he can b trusted unlike the others. Trump 2016
