It sounds like you are starting to LIKE that manhandling thing Raoul, that worries me!

Maybe you should stay home and watch Gladiator movies or just listen to some show tunes.

Speaking of rigged; Tell us again how many citizens were allowed to vote in Colorado and Wyoming? If those contests weren't rigged then I don't know what is!


But I'm sure that the haters will still keep on telling us that the news casters are claiming that 75% of the voters WILL NOT vote for Trump!

New York Republicans saw right through Cruz. Even Kasich got nearly double the votes that Cruz did.

That's three states now that have given ALL of their delegates to Cruz with NO public voting. You can't tell me that the fix isn't in!

If any of these had been states in the south, the Department of Justice and FBI would be all over these as potential cases of denying people their Constitutional right to vote but since the people affected are pretty much exclusively White Republicans, nothing will be done.

It's up to each state to decide how convention delegates are chosen, and there's nothing that says that they have to be elected by the public. They aren't even required to be committed to a specific candidate, look at all the Democrat "superdelegates".

The Demo super delegates was an idea that came from a committee headed by Gov Jim Hunt of NC after the George McGovern fiasco I believe. It wasn't always that way. But yes it's up to the party to decide how to choose their nominee. Just doesn't seem fair in a supposed democracy. Iran decides who can run for office as well as many countries that are more dictatorships than anything else.

We can choose to not to be a member of that party or support their nominee.

Just because both of the major political parties are doing it doesn't make it right. Didn't your momma ever teach you that?

But your right in that everyone is now becoming painfully aware of how crooked our political system really is; and apparently has been for some time!

So a Caucus isn't voting? All the states that have a caucus are denying their citizens the right to vote? Or just the caucus states that Trump looses?

Where was it, South Carolina where Trump got 32% of the votes and 100% of the delegates? Trump is just a whiner that will say anything. He knew the rules before this started, but was not prepared for the task at hand. He needs to put on his Big Boy pants and meet Cruz in a one on one debate so people can see exactly what they are getting. If he is So Great for the country then people will see that and vote for him. Instead he hides behind his super PAC (Fox) and gives people the finger like a punk does after he goes around the corner. The way he shoots his mouth off, he is like a white Jesse Jackson-all mouth and no substance.............(but I really like him)

Whew, I feel better now.

Cruz and Trump have been through what, six?, debates together. Why do you keep harping that they need to have another one? The only thing that Cruz could say in the last debates was "Breath, Donald, Breath". Rubio was the one that actually debated Trump in those debates, Cruz just stood off to one side making snide remarks when it was other people's time to speak. When it was his own time, he had nothing to say. He was like like one of those yappy little dogs that some people carry around, all they do is run around your feet yapping and taking nips at your feet when your back is turned. Or maybe Cruz just wants ANOTHER debate and hopes that he won't look a fool again and that people will forget how ridiculous he was in all of the previous debates.

And NO, a behind closed doors "Caucus" isn't a vote, even among the FEW that are present. It's deal making session. The proper name should be a "conspiracy"! It's an organized attempt to IGNORE the rights and wishes of the citizens of that state and to SELL the nomination to one person. In these THREE cases, to Cruz. IF even ONE delegate had gone to another candidate, any candidate, in any of those three states then you could argue that I'm wrong but since ALL of the delegates in ALL three states ALL went to Cruz, then there's no doubt of what's gong on.

Re: South Carolina. The thing that you conveniently left out is the everyone in South Carolina DID have an opportunity to vote. Yes, Trump got all of their delegates, that's because SC is a "winner take all" state. That's THEIR rules and Trump won the majority of the votes.

And let's talk about rules: Why is it that now, the Republican Party is now ignoring their own rule, namely Rule 40B. According to Rule 40B, Cruz and Kasich are already ineligible to win the Republican nomination! At this point, Trump should be the ONLY candidate still in the race IF the Republican Party followed their own rules!

And here's another thing about Rules and the Republican Party; The RP is now strenuously pushing this idea that after the first vote, the delegates are "unbound" and allowed to vote for anyone that they choose instead of the person that the MAJORITY of citizens of their state voted for. OBVIOUSLY the second and subsequent votes won't really be who they CHOOSE but instead will be who they're PAID to vote for! But let me say this, WHEN did that ever become legal or ethical??? That would be like me hiring a lawyer to represent me and telling him to plead innocent on my behalf but in the Republican Party's world, he would only have to plead innocent at the first court appearance and after that he could plead guilty or anything else! AND he would allowed to have closed door meetings with other parties and they would be allowed to make deals and to tell him what to plead! You can name a thousand other scenarios but you can't name ONE where a doctor, or lawyer or professional person or a paid representative would be allowed to do things EXPRESSLY against their client's wishes! And it doesn't matter if it was the first event, the second or the 100th!! That's called a Fiduciary Duty and it's the cornerstone of our legal and business systems. Here's the definition from Cornell Law School: A fiduciary duty is a legal duty to act solely in another party's interests. Parties owing this duty are called fiduciaries. The individuals to whom they owe a duty are called principals." Clearly note the word "SOLELY', that is a key point! CLEARLY the Republican National Party is already trying to set the stage to ignore their DUTY to the Republican voters of this country! AND the Republican Caucuses in those three states HAVE already violated their Fiduciary Duty to the citizens of those states by not holding a public and open vote and by instead choosing their delegates in PRIVATE.

So what do you guys think about the "New and improved" Donald T-rump that came out today? Tax raising, let any freak into any bathroom, and so far this has just been an act kind of guy. Pretty cool, huh?

Every time I think about T-rump I can't help but think about that movie "3 Amigos". When Chevy Chase is partying with the bandidos and they are all talking about the adventures they have been through. When it was Chevy Chase's turn he yells out "remember when we raped the horses and rode off on the women?" and all the bandidos cheered and fired their guns into the air............like a Trump rally. He has been playing everyone for fools from the start. God save America!
