Keep shoving “the rules” down everyone’s throat so that you pump up your candidate when it is convenient. Do you think in Politics that all rules are followed and just because a rule exists that it is just?

By the way, you think it is ok to be able to “bribe” delegates away from voter intent? Is that democracy nowadays just because it is “the rules”

Bribery is illegal in all 50 states, why would it be legal for the RNC?

The United States was not founded as a democracy, but as a Republic--i.e., a nation not ruled by men, but by rules. As our Framers would have pointed out to you, democracies tend to be dominated by thugs complaining about everything when they don't get their way--until they can get populistic fools to throw out the LAW and the RULES--and muscle their way into populistic control even when they don't have a majority.

Pardon me for being the one who is defending democracy by daring to point out that Trump DOESN'T have a majority. (Gee that was the main point of my essay, now, wasn't it?)
