I am glad this primary has taken place in the manner it has because it teaches a valuable lesson that conservatives must realize. Electing the right delegates is just as key to a Convention of States to amend the Constitution.

Yes, it's been an education for me. The COS is going to be our next long term project. Going to be important to send conservatives to that.

Funny, we had president Clinton via a plurality...

Didn’t Jindal endorse Trump? Where was he, and his organization, when Trump needed him?

Yep. Too many Cruz supporters are deluded into thinking that thwarting Trump will get them Cruz.

Fat chance.

Jindal didn’t endorse Trump. He committed to supporting Trump if he’s the nominee.

I am actually surprised by Trump’s disorganized campaign. He seems to think rallies are campaigning. He seems to think he can just up and run as a third party without ballot access if/when the GOP makes him mad.

I am surprised by Cruz’s calculated campaign organization. He wants to win and seems to be willing to play politics and execute skilled, insider, tactical moves to do so.

As I said, snot-slinging drunk to pull the lever.

I wonder if Jindal is saying the right stuff against the Dump Trump movement for his base—but by not lifting a finger letting his delegates get stolen at the same time.

I don’t know that Jindal had anything to do with it.

Trump’s delegates weren’t stolen. Trump failed to provide any organization to get his voters to caucus for him. He didn’t seem to care whether or not his voters got elected as delegates and when they did get elected, he gave them no support to get them appointed to important state-level positions. His delegates in Louisiana said that when they contacted his campaign, they were brushed off or got a what’s-in-it-for-Trump attitude. Do you think those delegates will remain loyal to Trump after the first ballot? If not, he did it to himself.

Cruz had a superior campaign infrastructure and knew the importance of getting delegates elected. He supported his delegates. He’s ready for a contested convention.

The courts don’t get involved in political parties rules.

What I learned: It doesn’t matter if or how I vote.

Exactly. This is exactly what I'm starting to feel.

All of this BS... the "earning" of Louisiana delegates, the monkeyshines in South Carolina, the manipulation of the rule books... are designed to do one thing.

Deny the voter his voice in the process.

The Republican party is no different than the Democrats. It's not OUR party. It's THEIR party.

The Cruz scandal ...
*******************************
There is no proof of a scandal involving Cruz.

I see you’ve been here 10 days. Are you a troll or just naive and repeat anything negative you read about Cruz?

What we need is for Cruz and Trump to debate each other PRONTO, one on one, so we primary voters know who we want to vote for. If this happens, we won’t have to worry about it being settled at the convention.

Frankly, I quit putting much credence in Lame Cherry when I read all about the oil patch in ND in an article. It was so far off base I wasn’t sure he/she had the right state.
