He was talking about October, 2015 in South Carolina, when Jeb was still in the race...... W. hasn’t uttered a peep since then.

People can be in the election cycle without knowing all of these STUPID rules ALL different in every state!!!

They don't have to know the rules in "every state". They just have to know some of the rules in their own state. How tough is that?

Trump is skillfully using the obvious corruption in CO to rally his supporters. For a long time Trump talked about how he was leading in the polls “by a lot,” which may have actually suppressed his voter turnout. Now, by pointing to CO, and saying that the whole system is rigged, it gives his supporters extra incentive to get out and vote.

It seems Mr. Outsider is no outsider at all, but in fact as inside as you can get. Looking back, I can clearly see that the RNC has chosen our nominee for us for decades. They put their guy up, then they do whatever they need to do to get him elected. This time around they thought they were going to get Jeb Bush elected with a mere 20% of the vote, that is why we had 17 candidates, it took that many to split the vote enough to get him there. This whole system is so rigged. Democratic process...majority rules...yea right.

No, I’m not buying it either.

You’re right on track there.

Reagan had them perplexed too.

Voters used to be uninformed, trusted the process, but now they are learning fast about what is really going on.

Ed Okeefe and the slimy rump-weasels at the Post want to drive Trump away from the GOP into futile indie run.

Don’t fall for it.

If the Colorado shenanigans were legal and according to the rules, then it is especially damning that the Colorado Republican establishment would consciously make rules to nullify the votes of the common voter.

In other words, they disenfranchised the voters.

I think that Trump will possibly win as an independent, depending on who the Dem candidate is.

If it is Hillary, I think he would beat Hillary, and win the presidency.

He would draw a (lot) of democrats who are just as fed up at their own party, as many of ours are at ours.

However if Bernie is the dem candidate, I think a lot will not leave their party for the vote, and I think Bernie will be our next president.

I don’t (think) Bernie will be their candidate, but that actually be what he is waiting for at the moment.

He is thinking about leaving the GOP at the moment, and I will go with him, big time.

Perot got a large segment of votes, and he started his run as an independent, he was a (bit) flaky during the campaign, and America still had a big industrial base back then.

Trump started in the GOP. If he leaves now, he will take a LOT of the party with him. A lot of democrats will support him, and I think he may just win.

We will see.

It is not that the system is rigged against Trump, it is rigged against the voter! All that we the people can do at this point, and I hope that we do it, is unite, vote en masse for Trump, and enable him to take out the GOPe, and institute a fair and equitable primary system wherein the base of the party, and only the base of the party, vote the for the candidates/delegates of their choice, and those delegates are bound to those candidates until the candidate releases them to another candidate at the convention if there is not a clear majority of delegates for one candidate. In that case, the various candidates, and there delegates, will be wheeling and dealing but it will be an honest and fair representation of the various interests within the party and a genuine concensus reached. What we have now, is unbelievably dishonest and corrupt, and the people in charge of it are so removed from the reality of what they have done, they cannot even see it!

“You are absolutely wrong that the establishment and the bush family is behind Cruz.”

Wow. Does it take very long to get that stupid?

Can anybody do it, do you suppose?

Did it hurt?

How is President Trump going to weed out the corruption at the top of the GOP?

Easy, the President is the head of the Executive Branch and that includes the Dept of Justice. Donald Trump already knows all about the corruption in Washington and exactly where the bodies are buried, he has been dealing with it for years; all he has to do is make the executive decision as to where he wants his attorney general (Chris Christie? Rudy Guliani?) to start digging first — and that just might be the corrupt GOP. Do you think for one moment these people have clean hands? They are as dirty as they can be.

On the other hand, it might be the corrupt Senate or maybe the corrupt House!

There is a reason why the political class in Washington hate Trump so much. They are afraid. He knows exactly who and what they are, and he does not fear them because they do not own him. You Cruz people need to wake up and smell the coffee, Donald Trump is the real deal, Cruz is a smoke screen. With Cruz, you will get absolutely nothing of what you want!

I was delegate too (not for Ron Paul but for Newt Gingrich) but I saw those dirty tricks too, and I agree with you. I am just as disgusted as you.

So why did Jeb endorse Cruz, why is Neil working in his campaign?

It’s amazing how brazen a lot of it is, isn’t it? Like they’ve been doing it so long it’s standard practice.

At least a lot of eyes are being opened now to the real truth of our political system. Everything is rigged from top to bottom, and until we fix we simply aren’t able to fix anything else.
