“Most indications are that the majority of people who are voting for other candidates are firmly opposed to them. Trump getting the nomination disenfranchises them. That’s why we have things called run-off elections in many places. You don’t win until you hit 50% “
LOL, but then Cruz shouldn’t get it either. Even millions of more voters would be disenfranchised, by your logic.
You Cruz supporters certainly spin a lit to try to make dirty politics seem acceptable. Is Cruz going to give back delegates in the WTA states? How about in Iowa, where he won by lying?
The most conservative, most Christian candidate ever certainly is dirtier than all the rest.
Winning fair and square is one thing. Cheating will make millions not vote for him, and Hillary wins.
Funny, “they” told me that Trump was not Presidential since Trump “starts” the playground type taunts.
Looks like Will, and the rest of the MSM, regularly use these taunts.
Looks like Cruz and the other candidates regularly use these taunts.
Oh, and look, Hillary and 0bama regularly taunt and blame Bush for the hellish disaster our lives have been over these past 7 and a half years
There was no contradiction, I didn't bash Trump for being a minority. Pointing out that he doesn't have one is not bashing.
“As it is, the delegates can agree to settle on a candidate who represents the views of the party and combine their vote, and not hand it to a minority.”
And there's no contradiction in those words either.
You guys have built up a whole mythology to support Trump. Trump, who accuses others of lying, but does it routinely himself, even in the accusation.
Cruz did not win Iowa by lying. He didn't even lie. And playing by the rules of the delegate process is not dirty politics.
Then you’re saying Ben Carson is a liar, because he’s the one that started it. No, you’re just in denial. You’re perfect candidate is nothing other than a dirty politician
Of course there is a contradiction. You’re saying the delegates can choose whoever represents the views of the party. The party. Not the voters, the party. Ironic how the so-called antiestablishment candidate is now all for the establishment with the establishment backing him.
It’s Trump and his supporters who spin a web of lies and deceit against Cruz.
Cruz didn’t “lie” in Iowa, period, end of story. There’s nothing “dirty” about Cruz. He’s one of the most honest conservatives to ever be elected, never breaking a campaign promise.
The dirtiest, currently active political operative anyone knows of is Roger Stone, a man with deep ties to Trump as an employee, lobbyist, strategist, confidante, supporter, etc. for decades. Trump has slimed more Republicans in this campaign than Bernie or Hillary has to date. Whose side is Trump on?
Trump doesn’t gain many, if any votes as other candidates drop out. That shows us the majority seems to want someone else and just has their vote split among Trump alternatives. That’s why we have a fair process to pick a nominee when no one demonstrates 50% support. Until you show me where a candidate violated a rule or a law, there has been no “cheating.” Just pure spin on your part to use such loaded, inaccurate terms.
There is no contradiction in what I said. The delegates can choose whoever represents the views of the party, *meaning the delegates themselves*. They are the party at that point, making the decision about who the party nominates. You are conflating the delegates with the dreaded GOPe. If you have such a problem with every Republican activist in the country then you should probably be on DU instead of FR.
aw typical, ending with an insult! you’re just as classless as your candidate.
George Will is an insufferable snob. Remember how long it took him to figure out the second amendment was an individual right?
Country-club GOPe to the core. Screw you, George.
