... The level of hatred directed at Trump has risen to ridiculous levels. The political establishment’s CAN OF WORMS must be HUGE.
If you want to see hate look at the attacks on Cruz and Cruz supporters that are entirely personal. His supporters on this site have called Cruz everything but white, ans negative caricature pics. I have personally never seen one of the pics of Trump with small hands and a pacifier in his mouth.
Trump mocked a disabled reporter, attacked Heidi, NE ridiculous nonstory planted by Stone and Pecker, Fiorina’s looks, lol NE even planted stories about Carson being a terrible surgeon, and Trump trashed every single republican that Trump found out spoke against him.
Trump at his rallies now is leading the cheer for audience to repeat “lying Ted”. That is elementary school politics.
And you wonder why 65-70% of republican voters don’t have warm fuzzy feelings for your guy? He has alienated them with his own actions and policies.
What I’m agog at is that regardless of your affiliation, you can’t endorse this process.
The party has to change. It doesn’t mean anything any more, and allowing delegates to be up for highest bidder is so very wrong that it calls into question why you need delegates at all.
This feels a lot like 2005 though 2008 all over again, in that the people who are supposed to be doing their jobs aren’t. No raindrop blames the other for the flood, and so nobody goes to jail over the fact that the ratings agencies sold AAA ratings on dogshit mortgages and mortgage bonds, and CDOs. Nobody went to jail when the banks failed to rate the swaps the Shorts were holding against them until they had knowingly sold off enough of the crap to unsuspecting people who went in believing the Moody’s ratings (CALPERS).
Once they had enough swaps, then they marked the swaps correctly, but only after they rigged the market in their favor. WSJ was silent on it. Fox was silent. CNN silent.
You can win a state, but you can lose the delegates. The delegates can simply decide to do what they want, and its OK to buy them.
And after this election, if a group of concerned citizens decided blowing up DC, literally, seemed like the only thing left to do, what do the rules say about that?
I understand that sort of thing is frowned upon, but when you decide that the only vote you are ever going to get for the foreseeable future is a show vote, ala the USSR, I can see people thinking there may not be an alternative.
