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!

Jeanette Horne I’m from queens ny. You aren’t in the mob if you are Scottish and German. Where the hell do you live?
Oh north Florida figures..
He did not follow the process… There are rules that apply to EVERYONE! And tiday Trump said he doesn’t have 12 miles of proof that the system is rigged… He has no proof!!!!
He missed his county meeting so his name was not on the state ballot. HE screwed up by being lazy and not paying attention and then bitches about the outcome. Exact same thing Trump did. Trump was lazy, didn’t pay attention, and didn’t show up, then cries foul.
OMG………….
Tony Luther there was no “county meeting”, or any meeting there was a caucus where the delegates for county and state were voted in. There were some delegates told they had to vote Cruz or were dropped as a state delegate. I was at the assembly on the 8th of March in Colorado Springs and interesting enough before the assembly began Cruz had all 7 delegates and the convention didn’t even start yet, how’s that, hmmm…..
The rules are written , if you don’t like them, work to change them, nothing wrong with that. But Cruz is taking advantage of his ADVANCED BRAIN with the laws that are in place now. Cruz is outsmarting trump on the field of laws.
Sad
IF WE DON’T VOTE TRUMP…KISS AMERICA GOOD-BYE…STUPID IDIOTS IN COLORADO!!!!
It’s time you retired!
