Trump: The Two-Party Political System Is 100% Rigged, "It's A Crooked Deal,"

Full Title: Trump: The Two-Party Political System Is 100% Rigged, "It's A Crooked Deal," "I See It With Bernie Too"

In the wake of gaining no delegates from the Colorado state Republican convention, Donald Trump took to Monday morning's Fox & Friends to declare that "the system is rigged."

"For example-- South Carolina I won in a massive landslide," the GOP fronrunner said. "Now they're trying to pick off those delegates one by one... What kind of a system is this?"

"I win Louisiana by a lot," he continued. "I get thousands of more votes than Cruz, and then I find out I get less delegates... The system is rigged. I see it now, 100%."

"Look at Colorado -- the people don't even get a chance to vote... I heard [F&F co-host Pete Hegseth] talking about 'that's the way it is.' Well that really shouldn't be the way it is."

I doubt it is rigged, but it is the most convoluted process ever to be hatched. IF ANYONE CAN SMASH THIS OR BURN IT TO THE GROUND IT COULD BE TRUMP - THAT IS WHY HE GETS MY VOTE. even if he is not as conservative as I would like. There is no PERFECT candidate ever.

“I see it now.” LOL

D-ic-T-atorship would probably be more to his liking.

Once again Trump, all you had to do was show up!

At the supermarket, I’ve got dozens of mayonnaise choices. Presidential choices? It’s Kang and Kodos.

Complain, cry, whine. However, if he is the nominee I shall still vote for him but it seems that he is self-destructing with all of the whining that he does. It wears thin.

Duh.

But we are here to break it.

Cruz with conservatism, Trump with Populism.

The RINOs got nothing.

He is just now figuring this out? He either isn’t very bright or is just crying because he didn’t win (again).

If he had complained about this BEFORE he ran then it would be a lot more honest. He’s acting shocked over this because he lost, but he knew the entire time. He is just running a campaign on the cheap so he doesn’t have the ground game needed to win with the complicated rules in place. Spend some real money Donald and you might be surprised at what you can do. Quit relying on over the top rhetoric and name calling for free media coverage. That may get you about 40% of the vote, but it won’t get you people where you need them in the party.

“There is no PERFECT candidate ever.”

You hit the nail on the head. The rats/commies/leftists/misfits and whatever of the dem party figured this out years ago.

The folks on the our side of the fence never will. Too much division. We gotta start chipping away, which is their tactic that worked to perfection, in order to get the country back. Trump represents several huge chips, immigration being one of them. Trade another. He’s not perfect, but he’ll do.

Nonetheless, those that want perfection will stay home then whine their butts off when Hitlery or our very own Stalin get elected.

You are closer than you think. You can't win with a plurality. Trump is working up his supporter to convince them the system is rigged. He will then demand the nomination based on fraud and corruption. His hacks and tools such as Drudge, Brietbart, Gateway Pundit are all more than happy to be propaganda machines. Get elected and then burn the Reichstag, I mean capital building.

No, it’s rigged.

Someone was saying here this morning that in his group 90% of the delegates were Cruz delegates.

Folks, if this is due to Ted having such a fabulous ground game, why is Trump over 50% in four upcoming primary states?

Cruz is nothing, has nothing, and will be recognized as a big fat nothing!

Based on how he runs his business, no, it wouldn't.

I hope he doesn’t but the Republican Party has given Trump every justification to go 3rd party. #NeverTrump is going to give them #NeverWin. Even down-ballot.

And whine about losing their constitutional protections, whine about gay rights infesting everything and forcing them to accept it- whine about having their religious freedoms thwarted- etc etc etc

If it comes out with a different result than what the voters chose, it’s rigged.

If the voters don’t get to vote, it’s rigged.

Yesterday’s news.

Please. You Trumpists need to get over it. Quit your crying and realize Trump is in over his head.

For crying out loud! He doesn’t even know the difference between Washington DC and Washington State.

Ok.

IN all seriousness, quit the GOP and run third party.

Stop delaying the inevitable.

Its not something that many people would fail to support.

Stop trying to have it both ways.

The Two-Party Political System Is 100% Rigged, “It’s A Crooked Deal,”

******************

Having dealt with politicans in a lot of his projects I don’t see how Trump thinks this is
something new. If he was dealing with the system back then I don’t see what makes him think
it’s any different now that he’s trying to join the elective side of the system.
