Trump carries

Are we talking about Rand Paul again?

No, Ted Cruz!

or was that Carly Fiorina?

It's good to see that he is consistently pro-gun:

Taking a look back to see what Cruz and Trump were up to in 1988:

That's no surprise. He supported the AWB too.

The thread title should be changed to "Trump is a whining cry-baby".

It’s very unfair, the 1,237. The reason it’s very unfair — and I think I’ll get there, I think I’ll get there! — but the reason it’s very unfair is the following:
When I started there were 17 candidates and people never says this — I’ve never even heard it said — those early states — nobody says it and it’s very unfair — but on a lot of those early… there were so many candidates that if you got 30% or 25%, you’d win and it would be an unbelievable victory. Honestly, Kasich should not be allowed to run and I’ll go opposite on you: he hurts Trump much more than he hurts Cruz.

Waaaaaaaaaahhh.....poor baby, what will Trump do, sue them? LOL what a jackass, told ya Trump was a bed-wetting (D) in (R) clothing.

He's such a tool. Literally, everything that doesn't go his way, he says is unfair. He's exactly what we've all been saying is wrong with with the country...he's an entitled, whinny asshole.

And furthermore, he knows nothing about this process. If he doesn't get the magic number, he will lose, and not because the establishment "stole" it from him. He will lose on a 2nd vote because he's done exactly NOTHING to secure delegates. Like it or not, we live in a representative form of government, and that includes the election process and always has.

If he doesn't get the required delegates, the only way to get more is to have a 2nd vote and the only way for a 2nd vote to work is to let delegates change their vote. That's the rules and that's how it works. He's doing zero to secure them, so some will switch. That's not a stolen election...that's simply the way the process works.

I'm so sick of this guy.

Now, if the GOP changes the rules to allow Kasich or someone else to be included in the 2nd vote even though they don't have the required minimum delegates, THAT would be a stolen election.

But if the 2nd vote only includes Trump and Cruz because they are the only candidates with the required delegates and Cruz wins, that's simply due process and nothing more.

And you see no problem with the candidate who has by far the most popular votes not getting the nomination?
Just because you don't like the guy doesn't mean he isn't getting screwed by the system (RNC/GOPe)

It may not be right, but that's how the electoral college works. It has changed a bit since it was devised in 1787, but the fundamentals are the same...the presidential election is not a popular vote and never has been. The way each state selects them has changed over the years, but our President has always been selected by "representatives".

It's what we do with the general election and it's what we do with the primary. Perhaps that may change one day, perhaps this election will be the catalyst, but as of right now, that's how it works.

[davsel]

Yes, that is the way it works, but has nothing to do with the electoral college when it comes to selecting nominees. The RNC and DNC make, change, and ignore their own rules.
Bernie is in the same boat.

Hopefully people will wake up and see how rigged the system has become - bought and payed for.
But I doubt it.
