There are no voting rights for primaries.

Not yet, but I bet there are some lawyers working on it after this year.

There are closed primaries already.

Eleven states — Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming — have closed primaries

Cruz and Trump had many more people)e who dropped out and wasted lots of time. trump changes his positions on things. I. Want Trump to say some of things he says at rallies to Cruz in face. he only says this stuff when no one can or will confront him. Debate on trump wanting to change the rules for getting,g the nomi,action. trump by all means. Does want to debate Cruz one on one.

Point of order: There is no legitimate reason in a Republic for the existence of super Delegates unbound to those who they represent. The only reason such exist is protection of the ruling class.

Cruz just happened to be the beneficiary of the GOP devious plot...

Cruz just happened to have prevented the GOPe from benefitting from their own plot. When candidates allow the Party to select their bound delegates for them, they end up with GOPe loyalists who are bound in the first ballot only. These are the delegates that Donald Trump was willing to settle for. Ted Cruz said to hell with that. Cruz put his people at those conventions to engage in the selection process to get people in place who would not go GOPe after the first ballot but would continue to support conservative ideals.

Ted Cruz deserves a lot of credit here in battling against the GOPe at the grass roots level - an effort that Donald Trump simply is not making.

One of the many reasons I support Trump is I want the corrupt GOP destroyed.

But Trump isn't destroying the corrupt GOP. He isn't even engaging them in battle where it counts most - at these state conventions. Trump is a no-show.

Nevada's system is no different from that of Colorado or Wyoming. Yet Trump hasn't said one bad thing about Nevada. Why? Because he got what he wanted out of that 'corrupt' system.

Haven’t you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?

Because he supports federal funding for Planned Parenthood?
