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.
I hope they see him for what he is.
Linda Vidas – you are a little confused about what a “natural born citizen” is.
John Jordan – Ted Cruz is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Ican not for the life of me understand how you think he is not. Even TrumpBart… er I mean Brietbart reports that.

John Jordan how can you call Ted Cruz a sleazball in comparison to Donald Trump????
Mr. Trump University, Trump Towers (both cases where he screwed many people out of a LOT of money). Mr. Donate to the Florida State Attorney General’s campaign when she was investigating him (aka BRIBE) yet another thing he’s being investigated for… Mr. “Punche them in the face hard and I’ll pay your legal fees”… Mr. I know words, lots of good words and I don’t repeat myself and I don’t repeat myself… C’mon please be real!
You can really see what kind of person Ted Cruz is now!
Well for starters Anthony, Explain his 5 mistresses, and his phone numbers on the DC Madames list. Was she a campaign donor? How about the $500,000.00 he donated to rival Carly? How about him lying right from the start in Iowa? I agree that Cruz’s mother wasd a natural born citizen. He’rs is not in question. What is in question is did she give her citizenship up? She was a canadian voter. If she rescinded her citizenship, Rafeal is not a citizen. He just like our previous or should I say current president have sealed their records. I agree that they must have something to hide! So much for transparency! I alswo don’t see how you can lock or seal a public record! Can you do it? I really don’t think so! You can if you’re politically conected!
Not all of “We” the People want drumpf.
