    Sanders voters are not voting for wall street Hillary, they can't stand her or the rigged DNC system anointing this wall street shill. my wife would never vote for Hillary and shes a democrat, both of us will be writing in Trump. and voting all D down ticket, so are my neighbors, most on the block have changed their registration to independent, my development is very Republican, I personally will never vote Republican again ever, even for school board, or dog catcher. and if Trump then endorses Ly'in Ted or anything close to that, after Trump is robbed at the Convention, I will lose all respect for him, and we will vote for whoever is running against that rigged crooked RNC Candidate,as well as any other republican running on the ticket that supports that RNC hand picked person.

    You altered my statement by adding an "or" between the last 2 lines.

    It was probably just an unintentional editing error on your part.

    In the future, please be more diligent when quoting other members. You wouldn't want to get a reputation for altering other's quotes.

    Just a friendly reminder.

    I am really not interested in debating made up conjecture. Saying that any structure where someone has a position of authority is automatically "authoritarian" is childish.

    Name calling is not a debate. Is a police officer a figure of authority? Yes or no. Maybe not every government exercises "total" control, but every government seeks to take control itself as a principle.

    No, Cruz just knows the Rules. He's out-manuevering Trump, who's an amateur backyard flag-footballer.....trying to play in the NFL.

    No. wall street is out bribing Trump, Cruz is just a wall street shill, RNC delegates need to disclose Cash and Gifts received during the RNC nominating process, especially in Colorado. light is the best disinfectant,.everyone needs to focus on that. just follow the money.

    The problem is that when Trump faces the professional politicians (both in this country and from others) if he becomes President, they take his lunch money. He just doesn't know the ins and outs of the way politics works. He's just too ill educated and experienced at politics to be the President, not to mention his moral failings.

    No, its not knowing the rules of the game. Its knowing how to cheat and knowing how to act corruption within corrupt political structure. In short, it is just another typical lying politician and nothing else other than one of the worst ones.

    Document the cheating.

    Cruz is playing chess by the rules. Trump thinks it's checkers.

    As someone pointed out recently, Trump doesn't mind it when he gets all the delegates in a winner take all primary even though less than half the people actually voted for him.

    But turn it around and he whines like a five year old and blusters like the cheap little bully he is.

    Colorado had no statewide primary or caucus, the RNC is a rigged crooked and disgusting process that spits in the face of republican voters. Cruz is the baby, by bypassing the voters with crooked sleezy wall street super pac support to maintain their rigged economy. if Trump is smart he should vote with the RNC and drop that 8 state rule, because he's not coming out of that convention with the nomination even if he reached 1237, then sit back and watch the millions of pissed voters implode the crooked RNC, Reince Priebus and Ted Cruz's, castopo tactics will not go over well with the base at that wall street special interest rigged RNC convention.

    Since Colorado has no statewide primary or caucus, how can you claim that voters were cheated when no election took place?

    The parties are not part of the government, and there is not one word in the US Constitution that recognizes the right to vote in a primary, or even suggests that primary elections (or even political parties) even exist.

    There are no voter rights in primaries. In fact, for well over the first 100 years of American history, there was no such thing as a primary election. Even then, both parties retained elaborate mechanisms taht allow their management to ultimately be the decision makers. Most of the time, especially in recent years, they go with whoever wins the majority in the primary elections and caucusses. But they are not required to. Not by anyone, other than the rules they set for themselves. No government agency has any jursidiction.
