Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is blasting the way the country chooses presidential party nominees as “corrupt” and “crooked” as he grapples with the potential of a brokered convention that he risks losing.
Speaking to thousands packed in a frigid airport hangar in western New York on Sunday, Trump ripped the byzantine fight over delegates at the heart of his party’s nominating process. He argued anew that the person who wins the most votes in the primary process should automatically be the GOP nominee.
“What they’re trying to do is subvert the movement with crooked shenanigans,” said Trump, comparing his woes to those of Bernie Sanders, who is winning states but still far behind Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the race for delegates that decide party nominations.
“We should have won it a long time ago,” Trump said. “But, you know, we keep losing where we’re winning.”

So Donald still can’t figure out how a caucus system works, but he still wants to be President of the most powerful Nation on Earth?
Arrogant ass. Those votes aren’t his just because he wants them to be...
How many of us new voters did not matter in the GOP?
News to me and it will bite them in the ass the next 30 years in general elections.
Even that could be only the half life of the loss of political control.
Good bye Supreme Court for 50 years.
Hello socialism.
Goodbye America as we knew her.
I hate word replacing devices.
I was typing “HOW MANY OF US KNEW BEFORE ELECTIONS THAT VOTERS HAD NO SAY IN THE ELECTION PROCESS, ESPECIALLY IN COLORADO?”
Burn the GOP down IMO.

Are you always this naive?
Or just on Monday morning?
Keep posting so we can decide the winner.
Stay ignorant. Makes it easier to make fun of you.
Or, better yet... Read and learn.

At least Cruz gets it:
‘”If you want to beat him, you have to beat him at the ballot box,” Cruz said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”’

So, rather than debate the substance of what is said, you attack my screen name and a quote from a song?
You’ve been here long enough to know better, and yet that is the best you’ve got?
No wonder we’re floundering over this issue.ya’all have lost your damn minds...
Chess not checkers.
Why did he run as a Republican if he doesn’t like the way the party’s system works?
Did he not educate himself over all the years he’s been toying with running, or is he only making a stink about it now because he isn’t getting what he wants?
>Did he not educate himself over all the years he’s been toying with running, or is he only making a stink about it now because he isn’t getting what he wants?
He’s upset because he’s winning with the voters and having his votes stolen by rats when the voters backs are turned. That tends to upset people.
Better to #losewithCruz. Right GOPe?
So both then. He didn’t bother to educate himself and now he’s upset and shifting blame.
The Democrats, with their super delegates do the same thing. Would you have been fine with Trump running third party? If not, then shut up with your silly question about why he ran as a Republican.
Actually I think you are arrogant. Go back to supporting Clinton/Bush..
Don’t complain about the party rules when you choose to run under its banner.
Trump -- 8,197,535
Cruz -- 6,263,349
Kasich -- 2,960,411
Trump + 1,934,186
Who's got the vote???? Oh, you meant the DELEGATE vote.
So you want to argue that a nearly 2 million vote popular vote lead, and a 198 EARNED delegate lead should be set aside because the Party rules allow it, and Ted "deserves" it more.
