The Republican party is not winnning friends or influencing people by saying to the Republican voters in 2016 your vote no long counts. Think about it!
The popular vote has always been honored by the Delegates unless it was very, very close like in 1952. We have a public election. We have all this money being spent. We have false advertising that say things like, “go vote”, “one man one vote”, “one woman one vote”, “every vote counts”, “you decide 2008”, “you decide 2012” and “you decide 2016”.
Now because the Establishment candidates have lost in the Republican Primary.... They are saying oh no because we changed the rules a way back, and because we lost we are not going to let you win! The Republican Party in 2016 is saying to the Republican voters that your vote no longer counts. I believe that is indefensible!
Even when the parties claim they have all this internal power. When the parties hold themselves out as a public watch dog on tv and radio. When they hold themselves out with this it is false advertising! I can show all the instances of “Your vote counts. Come join our party”. This is public fraud, and it’s very dangerous to VOID the votes and discard the WILL of the people. I can see this even leading to possible class action law suits for false advertising.
In any event, if we sit by and do not get upset, then it will normalize these Establishment fat cats who claim they now APPOINT who can run for office. If you select the candidates, then is that not a form of canceling the 2016 election? Therefore, we just wil have ceremonial events every four years instead of actual elections. Furthermore, are we not just like communist China where the party appoints its own Presidents and successors vs. having a real Primary where every vote counts?
We the people are not their subjects or surfs. The government are the servants to the people. That is what we learn in the Delcartion of Indepence, the U.S. Constitutuon and the Bill of Rights. If this Venezuelan/North Korean/Cuban corrupt election is allowed to get away with this, then what is next to fall? I think this country will turn into a banana republic.
I can’t express to you how disappointed I am with many so called patriots on TV and radio that cavalierly dismiss this as no big deal. My guess is they are either completely out of touch with reality or they are working for the other side.
It's every man for himself!
The Republican Party Says Your Vote No Longer Counts
They wouldn’t be able to count it in November if they play their dirty tricks.
Link to this “News” article?
It’s a matter of mind over matter. We ouught not mind because the Vichy-Republicans do not matter. The tsunami will wash them away..
Uhhh it’s a vanity post..... Meaning it’s my opinion.
That’s why at the end of the headline I put in “(Vanity)”.
Furthermore, I even categorized it that way.
(Vanity)Activism
Yeah no kidding.
Completely true. But the guy that isn’t a political lawyer and doesn’t live off the gubberment also goes on reality TV and pro-wrestling when he doesn’t have to, but just because he digs it or something. He was already an obviously succesful business man. Why reality TV and pro-wrestling?
Weirdness abounds on all sides. It is absolutely no weirder than wanting to be president in 2016 as a political lawyer.

Why not admit you have no clue how a caucus system works? It’d be easier and save you a lot of typing...
Is there any prognosis on when we can expect Newt Gingrich to step out from the curtain and fully embrace his “inner Donald”... Seriously, when is that endorsement going to hit the press? Before New York? Or just after New England wraps up?
LOL!
Great post!
It’s clearly marked vanity.
Cruz-bots agree. Party before Country and all that....they don’t give a damn about what happens to America. They just hate Trump. Period.
Hillary loves them!

Judge Jeanine covered this, tonight. She did a great job. She also interviewed Trump and had the RNC comm director on, afterwards.....who never would go in to details about the rules. She’d just repeat...the selection of delegates is a grass roots selection. Ha! Sure it is. Insiders only may apply.
I am sorry but you are wrong. Rules are rules. Why didn’t Trump know? Cruz campaign knew.
Hillary is queen of the crooked system.
For years I’ve read posts on here slamming this guy or that guy that “has never created a job, never met a payroll, never had a real job outside the government”. Now they’re all supporting Cruz, a man who meets all the above criteria.
And they’re against the guy who has created jobs, met a payroll and never worked for the government.
