Another “Rules are Rules, after all” toughsh!t, like it or lump it argument. Why is the COGOP head in hiding if his “rule changes” were honorable and honest?

65,000 insider votes over what? 4-5 meeting times are in what way a valid substitute for finding out what a million voters think?

News flash COGOP and national GOPe. You can’t screw voters with insider party rule fiddling in a general election. Think about that for a while - think REAL HARD about it.

>> Such complaints typically come from people who are not, in one of Trump’s favorite words, “winners.”

Ouch!

Trump conspicuously refrains from complaining about the fact that, even though he has won just 37 percent of the votes cast in Republican primaries and caucuses, those votes have given him 46 percent of the delegates.

Sounds like Barone has objections to the rules he's defending.

National Review = DEAD IN THE WATER PROPAGANDA. Not worth reading.

Michael Barone is still in denial along with Steven Hayes and Jonah Goldberg. A lot of people are unhappy with the delegate selection process.

As Stalin said:
It’s not who casts the votes, it’s who counts the votes, that matters.

Unfortunately, all too true here also. How dare Trump complain about it?!

[Michael Barone's] Rules of Life: “All process arguments are insincere, including this one.” Losers’ real gripe is not with the process but with the result.

The truth of this rule is confirmed by the fact that Trump supporters never complain about the rules which "unfairly" advantage them by awarding them more delegates than their percentage would warrant. If the Trump camp were in fact "sincere" they would offer to give up a portion of the 46 % of the delegates they have obtained with only 35% of the vote. After all if one man one vote is good enough to require of Colorado, it should be good enough for Florida.

Sad that we only see the GOPe get into attack mode against one of their own, but fold up like bad poker players when up against the left. Mr. Barone, if you in the establishment conservative media and in Congress had actually stood for something instead of the same old status quo there would be no Trump candidacy today. You might have been able to slide your favorite GOPe guy Jeb to the nomination. Nope, you all were cowards against the left, especially these past seven years, and the rank and file are making this party pay for it now.
