The “WINNER” in America has ALWAYS been entitled to the Tallest Trophy, the biggest purse, the Mostest of anything at stake. That is until the socialist participation trophies and ribbons which remove the Pride and Glory from the winner and spread it all around on the losers. Obviously you side with thhe losers theory. Your argument doesn’t hold water.

Then why all the whining about the winning that Cruz does?

The 24th amendment directly regulates primaries.

No, it doesn't. It forbids poll taxes for any election.

It doesn't mandate that the state conduct elections for any private political party or give the state any other power.

Cruz is playing the participation game in a race to which he is not even entitled to participate.

Trump was too busy trying to get people to vote for him.

Not in Colorado. He forfeited because he didn't care to organize.

Always check Title before posting - this time didn’t come up which was surprising. Ok, posted and added front page for the morning people.

Let me ask America a question: How has the “system” been working out for you and your family?

Thank you Donald! That's an excellent question!

Ok, so he was too busy to try and get “special” people to vote for him. That’s even better.

Trump: 37% of the total vote, 46% of the total delegates, to date. The system is “rigged” in his favor.

In a primary season that started with 17 candidates that statement is ridiculous on it's face!

Too busy to try to win the contest in Colorado.

And it’s not “special” people. It’s people who bother to show up. Nothing prevented Trump supporters from being active in the process. Cruz organized people to run for and become delegates. Trump can’t be bothered.

He’d rather whine.

Trump was too busy trying to get people to vote for him.

So why didn't he hire some campaign professionals to get his campaign organized in Colorado? The same rules that applied to Trump applied to Cruz, and to every other one of the 17 candidates still in the race when the rules were passed. Also please keep defending the system,

Yeah, and I don't have to stop beating my wife because I never started.

I have not once defended that system. It's a bad system. But it was the same system for everyone. So the question that has been asked about a thousand times, and never answered, is why didn't Trump's supporters turn out in the caucuses to the same degree as supporters for Cruz and Rubio?

South Carolina was not rigged. It was a fair election which is something that we call into question with some of the Caucus states and most especially Colorado where virtually no one voted.

South Carolina:

The Donald...............240,882...... 32.51%......50 100% Winner-take-All

Cruz, Rafael..............165,417........22.33% .............zero

Colorado:.....................................zero..........................................

No election. 6/10 of 1% of the one million registered republicans chose the 34 delegates after they walked across the stage for a total of ten(10) entire seconds.

Actually the delegates were already pre-slated for Jeb Bush. The charade of delegate selection was a farce as well.

The majority of pre-chosen Bush delegates that you think are Cruzers are merely placeholders for the GOP until they can figure whether they want Romney, Ryan, Bush or whom ever.

What people don’t consider, and likely Trump wouldn’t admit openly to this truth, that he has been ‘awarded’ delegate bonus’s of 22% ‘above his actual” raw support from voters.....would he want then the rules to change to deny those to him as being unfair????

This is why he needs to keep quite about fairness this close to the finish or he’s going to back himself into a corner, which he seems to do that more often then not.

The guy seems to need rescuing time and again from himself.

If Trump gets the nomination then Hillary wins, by a landslide. We lose the Senate, the Supreme Court, and maybe the House. Trump does not have any idea what he is doing and is not a good person.

I think you miss my point. I agree with the rules as set up by each state, no matter how they apportion delegates. The rules are clear long before the primaries are held.

I’m not claiming disenfranchisement occurred on either side. Only one candidate keeps doing so whenever the outcome works against him.

The 24th amendment directly regulates primaries.

The 24th prohibits poll taxes in primary elections. It does not establish a requirement for primary elections, nor does it establish an obligation on local government to conduct primary elections.

if hillary is elected and actually inaugurated, the CW II will begin quickly.

life in the cities will no longer be possible. life in a blue state will be untenable. America will be over and the euroization as a democratic socialist state will be the de facto status quo.

America will be no more
