We inhabit a place where the most money, the biggest corporations, the biggest spenders, and the most influence call the shots.

In a word, an oligarchy.

>Trump’s claim that he took a principled stand not to participate because it was all crooked is a flat-out lie.

Official CO GOP Twitter after Cruz won: We did it #NEVERTRUMP

Nobody believes your bs.

Agreed with the founders intent ‘re career pols, however, it’s his rants about democracy and rigged contests that stick in my throat. The majority of these rules are quite old and have nothing to do with the Donald. Where are his vaunted leadership and smarts. He’s just used to paying off the pols he wants something from.

Most importantly, the man is already getting his supporters to be ready to take what he may not be able to win outright.

Mob rule. The founder’s greatest fear and the Donald s most potent weapon. Crazies who refuse to let any stray thoughts permeate the gray matter.

First I've heard about "Paying off the polls". Do you have a credible source for that?

As to your point about "crazies" and "mob rule", you sound like one who likes the Party system as it is.

Was this also your opinion in 2014 with the reelection of Thad Cochran?

“In a word, an oligarchy.”

Flipping through channels yesterday I found The Bern at one of his rallies. He had no problem pointing out the fact that we’re now and oligarchy. Imagine him making more sense, and being more truthful, than our own GOP Establishment.

but listen, you have no idea if a politician is lying about what they stand for when you cast the vote for them.

Unfortunately trump is not putting the effort in to securing delegates in many of these states and it seems it’s because he thinks this is a democracy. That’s his fault for not knowing how the US gov’t is structured.

When have we ever lived in a democracy...?

Bernie seems to be able to find the problems, but not the solutions.

He is going to negotiate trade deals when he can’t even manage to handle primaries. But don’t worry when it doesn’t go his way he and his followers can whine. They are really good at that.

Of course you’re right. His answers to the problem are 180° from ours; but he does recognize the USA for what it is now.

You do if they are "principled conservatives". They stand for nothing. See the last 7 1/2 years.

Have you checked out Lyin’ Ted’s poll numbers? It seems like his voterless victories have backfired.

trump is the consummate (lefty) politician. he loves big gov’t control. he’s all over the board with his positions and none of them (for the most part) are conservative.

Tarp
planned parenthood
support for lgbt programs

I know with 100% certainty that Ted Cruz is lying about opposing Obamatrade. If he really did oppose it he never would have campaigned to fast track it while knowing that ZERO fast tracked trade deals have ever been voted down.
