Donald Trump Is Just A ‘Big Sulking Baby,’ Ben Stein Says

[Dale Smith]

Whatever system was used obviously used rules of some sort. Are you saying the rules were stacked against Trump in some nefarious way?

The voting public had no say on who got the delegates....this type of shit is what a banana republic does......how can you not see that? Are you being purposely obtuse?

They never do. The delegates are apportioned per the party rules. The rules were in place long before the primary and applied equally to both. Trump got trumped because he didn't play the game well.

The delegates are suppose to reflect the will of the voters if not, what is the post of voting in a primary or attending a caucus. This corporate entity that is trying to pass itself off as a legitimate governmental body is truly showing to the sheeple what it is really all about........but will they wake up? That is the million dollar question.

He should stick to pushing eye drops. all these Trump haters crawling out of the wood work. shallow

 

[tinydancer]

Cruz supporters just believe he can do no wrong.

Screw over Carson in Iowa : Check.

Screw over Rubio with photoshop : Check

Screw over Rubio again with lie about Rubio trashing the Bible : Check (whopper status)

Screw over Melania with slut shaming picture and allowing Glenn Beck to keep spreading the lie that the GQ cover was for a lesbian porn shoot : Check.

Gotta run the dog but you get the picture.



Billy Cunningham now refers to Cruz as "the Minister of Darkness".

So I guess you'd rather have Hillary then because the more you bash Cruz the more likely we'll have Hillary.

Latest NBC poll have Trump and Hillary in a statistical dead heat. And Trump hasn't even gone after her yet.



And don't tell me Hillary can't be beat. Because last time I looked there was a guy called Obama living at 1600 who beat the crap out of her in 2008.

That's usually how it works when the delegates are behind the primary winner. I hate to break it to you but primaries and party nominations have never been a democratic process. The parties are not governmental bodies. They're private entities who choose whom they wish to represent their party. Part of the calculus for those considering a presidential bid is determining if they have a significant enough amount of party support to make a run viable. Obviously Trump does not in some states.

You are probably right because none of the presidents have been elected but rather selected. Donald Trump is proving that the banking oligarchs that really run this country are pulling rank. America is truly and royally fucked.

This isn't the presidential election. This is the primaries. This is how it's always been done. The parties choose their nominee, not the people. I'm sorry you just realized this but blaming bankers is not a rational position. The truth is, any candidate needs the support of their respective party or they won't get the nomination. Trump may not have ever had it.

If the people do not choose the nominee than the system (like I said earlier) is a total sham. I know a lot about this and how the establishment really runs this country...not a duly elected congress or even the pResident....you might want to listen to me about this. I opted out of the system 4 years ago when I became a pre-14th amendment sovereign and reclaimed my "man of the land" status which excludes me from being able to vote because I am no longer a U.S citizen claiming loyalty to the corporate "gubermint" whose headquarters are in the city/state of Washington D.C. It was my hope that Donald Trump could shake things up and have us return to the Organic Constitution instead of the one that was written in 1871 which is nothing but a corporate charter.

I have never been able to warm,up to Glenn beck but his assertions lately that trump and others have,deep psychological problems is one bridge too far for me. He is so over the top and so self righteous he turns me off.

You're wrong dude as well as a loon. The people have never chosen a nominee, ever.

Take a look at how Lincoln was nominated. It sounds all too familiar. He was not expected to win the nomination but he did by persuading the delegates. The delegates are everything.

1860 Republican National Convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The convention met in mid-May, after the Democrats had been forced to adjourn the1860 Democratic National Convention inCharleston, South Carolina without a nominee and had not yet re-convened in Baltimore, Maryland. With the Democrats in disarray and with a sweep of the Northern states possible, the Republicans were confident of victory. Senator William H. Seward of New York was generally expected to get the nomination.

Other candidates seeking the nomination at the convention included Lincoln, Governor of Ohio Salmon P. Chase, former U.S. Representative Edward Bates of Missouri, and U.S. Senator Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania.

As the convention developed, however, it was revealed that Seward, Chase, and Bates had each alienated factions of the Republican Party. Delegates were concerned that Seward was too closely identified with the radical wing of the party, and his moves toward the center had alienated the radicals. Chase, a former Democrat, was opposed by many of the former Whigs who had become Republicans, was thought to be too radical on slavery, had opposed tariffs wanted by Pennsylvania manufacturing interests, and critically, had opposition in his own delegation from Ohio. Bates outlined his positions on extension of slavery into the territories and equal constitutional rights for all citizens, positions that alienated his supporters in the border states and southern conservatives.German-Americans in the party opposed Bates because of his past association with the Know-Nothings.

It was essential to carry the West (what would today be considered the Middle West), and Lincoln was a prominent Westerner. He had a national reputation from his debates and speeches, in which he eloquently opposed slavery while avoiding any of the radical positions that could alienate moderate voters. He had the support of the Illinois and Indiana delegations before the convention, and was the strongest candidate other than Seward.

Nonetheless, Seward's prestige appeared likely to carry him to the nomination.

Lincoln was represented at the convention by his friends Leonard Swett, Ward Hill Lamon, and David Davis. During the night of May 17–18, they worked frantically to win anti-Seward delegates for Lincoln. They showed that Lincoln already had the most support after Seward, which persuaded some. They also made a deal with Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania, who recognized that he had no chance of winning the nomination himself. Cameron controlled the Pennsylvania delegation, and he offered to trade his support for the promise of a cabinet position for himself and control of Federal patronage in Pennsylvania. Lincoln did not want to make any such deal; from Springfield, he telegraphed to Davis "I authorize no bargains and will be bound by none".[8] Despite this restriction, Davis reached an understanding with Cameron, which eventually led to Cameron's appointment as Secretary of War.

The next day (May 18), when voting for the nomination began, Seward led on the first ballot with Lincoln a distant second. But on the second ballot, the Pennsylvania delegation switched to Lincoln, putting him in a near-tie with Seward. On the third ballot many additional delegates switched to Lincoln, and he won the party's nomination

To avoid future situations like Trump, and Bernie, it would be better if the parties rewrote the rules so that crazy lunatics can't take the nomination.

Beck spent a lifetime playing the role of a mentally ill jerk to accommodate his niche of wacko supporters. That is why he was able to spot Trump so easily.
