Why attack me?

I object to your attitude.

Disprove one thing I wrote!

Go ahead, oldbrowser.

BTW, Californian,

Congressman Duncan Hunter (Ca-52) was the first to endorse Donald Trump. His endorsement is the confirmation that a patriot would expect to hear about Trump’s agenda for the military and this country.

They can buy airline tickets, hotels, limos, entertainment, and wine and dine the delegates. The sky’s the limit.

Is that not bribery?

So does the RNC, that's why they had him sign a pledge. I think they believed that if they got this far down the road, he would be so damaged he'd no longer pose a threat.

SURPRISE!1

Again, you are very perceptive. Keep projecting the appearance of a fair election. Bush was supposed to have won this with a $140,000,000 in media ad buys.

Polling plays into this as well.

Have you noticed the lack of the polling by the Majors in certain caucus states and states with voterless voting. The same goes for the lack of exit polling after they have thrown a state election.

Excellent logical end!

Probably due to Trump having upset the “established order”, it seems that campaigns are no longer buying persuasive media to get the word out to the general election voters.

THEY’RE BUYING DELEGATES in an effort to stack the deck at the nominating conventions. Since they only have to persuade a few thousand citizens as opposed to trying to reach millions in the general population later, it’s cheaper and they can effectively dictate and limit the choices the general voters will have on election day!

Question: Can someone explain why this isn’t the same thing as bribing members of a jury to secure a desired verdict?

Cruz loves to take the credit. Me thinks he is well aware of the entire process and the details.

It was already documented that a bunch of the “Cruz” Colorado delegates are Romney retreads. The check is in the mail...

And after you vote in this phony primary, CHANGE your registrations to NON AFFILIATED. THE GOP needs to get a message!

Sounds like a plan!

Right. Trump would have won in a landslide in Colorado if the voters were allowed to vote.

I heard on News Radio this morning (not conservative by any means) that Cruz picked up 65 delegates this weekend.

Now we all know there were no elections this weekend so the word is getting out to the masses that there is something going on with this primary cycle.

Trump “can” do it too though, right? But you dod ‘t just say theu “could” - you said it actially happened. So, how about the name of just one delegate you saw that was actually bribed to vote for Cruz?
