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.
He just needs to quit
$500,000 to Carly? Big deal she has a lot better standing with me than Hillary and the other riff raff Donald has contributed to. Please don’t try to insult my intelligence.
If the Enquirer was wrong, he should have filed suit! Every once in a while they break some decent stories. Just ask Jon Edwards or OJ. Besides another source had the info, furnished by the Rubio camp. They chose to sit on it because Cruz just happened to be their boy! So much for honesty in the media! I think the same hacks spin Trumps comments the wrong way as well!
How’d he lie in Iowa? Go back and look at the facts.
Not trying to insult you Anthony, just replying to you! I think you are very intelligent, but I feel you are overlooking a few things! I miss some things too, I don’t have time to dig deep! There are things that Trump says or does that I don’t agree with too. I just have to accept that no cantidate will like and endorse my every view. I just pick the ones of highest priority!
He should be charged and thrown out of the race
Who cares … there will be enough to make him potus
2 LOSERS DO NOT MAKE A WINNER. CRASICH
Cruz’s mother was/is a US citizen. Ted Cruz IS a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. He was born a child of a US citizen. He is a citizen of this country and did NOT have to go through the “naturalization process”. That simple.
Anthony was is a past tense verb! I agree because she voted in Canadian elections! If she was a canadian citizen it doesn’t matter where she was born.
