Trump cries foul over process as he presses campaign forward
AP/Wash Times ^ | 4/11/16 | JILL COLVIN and LAURIE KELLMAN

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.”

Representative democracy does not include:
- Tricks to pick delegates for A that really want B
- Delegates chosen with no public vote at all
- Lying about who is or not still running
- And many other schemy bits.

From the pride and hubris of Cruz types you’d conclude that they liked the sort of “representation” where we faithfully vote for less government only to have the elected promptly back Obama’s every wish.

The whole movement this year is in opposition to the very same betrayal the Cruz fans are now cheering. Don’t think you can come back later, win or lose, and tell us how the Dims are corrupt and you’ll fight them. You *are* them, equal in your contempt for America and its people.

So the Colorado GOPe is pristine. That’s why they tweeted, ‘We did it, #NeverTrump.’

From the Drudgereport:

FURY AS COLORADO HAS NO PRIMARY OR CAUCUS; CRUZ CELEBRATES VOTERLESS VICTORY
