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.

Your the one that needs to learn more about how the government works. Cruz is another politician. Yes a little defendant then most but still a politician just the same. He’s there to feel his pockets just like the rest. What Colorado did is not up and above board and you know it. But putting that aside I would like to hear from you on how you figure Trump is so bad and Cruz is so good. Everything Cruz and the rest of them are talking about Trump started right from the start. Cruz is much better then Hillary and Sanders but he’s not the one to get this country back and running again. We have had politicians running this country sense it started and it has done nothing but go down hell. You say Trump is do in court on a lawsuit. How meany businesses have you run. It’s happens all the time. People sue big businesses all the time because they think they have money and they can get some of it and most of them fall flat on there face. That’s not over yet so that’s out. Just look at the news women that tried her c**p on being bulled by Trumps security guard. She fell flat on her face on that charge so now she’s going to sue Trump. Don’t tell me thats not over getting money. As far as being self funded he is but there is some people out there that like to donate to the people they would like to see win. Look at Cruz. He has no money of his own and is constantly out there asking for donations. When you do that you are indebted to the donor. Also you said Trump is a lier. Well tell us where he’s laying and also tell us where Cruz is not. Stand up for your self and tell all of us where were wrong again.
