Lifelong Registered Member od GOP calls it quits...burns his registration.

~ 150 million registered voters in the USA, each with their own viewpoint and opinion, God bless 'em.

Is it your opinion that it's okay for a candidate to steal the votes in a public election, thus making it meaningless to vote?

It's already meaningless it has been for a long time

Not so. If it were meaningless, candidates would not have to campaign to get votes. Duh!

It's all part of the theater for the sheep

you may call it "stealing", but there is a legal process in place... therefore, not really "stealing".

It is stealing when the citizens are not allowed to vote for their candidate and the party changes its rule to accommodate one candidate. The RNC is putting in the Trump delegates to change to Cruz on the second ballot. Is that not stealing?

The GOP would never be the same again. Looking forward to a new party.

"the party changes its rule to accommodate one candidate."


what rule has the party changed..?

 

[mascale]

They might want to give a thought to nominating Sir Bernie, the leftist Oligarch. Sir Bernie supports the academic freedom of college teachers to perpetuate their spawn into multi-generational, federally funded, college teaching jobs. The guise is "free tuition" as a civil right. Usually mostly lawyers and judges are the beneficiaries of the government funded, civil rights.

Sir Bernie is no longer of New York Values, but instead is now supporting, NRA values from Vermont, Sir Bernie proposes free college tuitions, likely paid for at government expense. There is no proposal to send all the money to the poor, instead. Often last seen, the Obama spawn do not seem to be sending all their money to the poor. The party dress stores get the money instead. Professional Basketball does not send all their money to the poor, instead. The Masters Golf Club, country club tournament, did not send all of its money to the poor instead.

Black African children starve and die. "Black Lives Matter" blames the Clintons, and sends no money to the poor, instead.

Likely even CNBC can spot a kind of pattern, here. Likely RNC can follow it along: And extend an invitation to Sir Bernie, of Vermont!

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Many come to follow along Great Spirit, "Seven Come Eleven." Few Get Chosen. . .as is usual(?). . .who then lend it out at interest(?)!)

You might ask Lyndon Johnson, JF Kennedy, or Mayor Daly.

fyi trump only appears to have broad based support in the party because of the split field of candidates.

the party rules exist primarily for situations just like this one, so the party ends up with a candidate the majority of the party wants, or at the very least, the party does not end up with a candidate the majority of the party does not want to represent their party.


so, as far as voices supposedly not being heard or votes being meaningless...(?)

in fact, more votes have been cast in republican primaries for candidates other than trump.

if no candidate reaches the delegate threshold required, the party rules kick-in and take over at the convention.

 

[Valerie]

"if no candidate wins a majority of delegates during the first round—which they wouldn’t in this scenario—many of those delegates would then be unbound and allowed to vote however they want during the second round. Even more would become free agents in the rounds that followed, until eventually we’re looking at a free-for-all that would make the Republican debates look like ordered affairs."

A corrupt but legal process that negates the voters right to choose who represents him is definitely a theft of his vote. Ted stole the man's vote.

I guess we have to consider the fact that Ted is a goddamned snake. He stole votes from Ben Carson in his lying pronouncement that Ben had quit the race just before the primary.

Screw Ted Cruz!

Speaking of 'stealing' and calling a corrupt legal process that negates voters right to choose as theft, how do you feel about Gore getting 1/2 million more actual votes than GWB?

 

[Laughing-gas]

This is what snakes like Ted Cruz are doing to the Republican Party.

As much as I hate to say it, I want the Republican nominee to LOSE!

Screw the GOP!

TBF, the GOP & its herd had it coming to them once they willingly ensconced themselves within the bubble of parallel reality that Fox, Limbaugh and the myriad wingnut sites created for them.

The writing was clearly on the wall for all those who could still read unassisted.

if a few old men yell at a cloud, or in the cloud as it were, does it actually make a sound?

 

[TNHarley]

It isn't stealing anything. Its THEIR party. They can do what they want.
Shit like this is what happens when you run under a brand known for corruption, lies and deceit.
Same with Bernie.

I remember punks doing that in the late 60s.

looks like the GOP is slapping their rubes around and crapping on them! fun to watch!!!

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus says
GOP is preparing for possible brokered convention
RNC chair says GOP prepping for possible brokered convention


RNC Chairman Reince Priebus admitted Sunday that his party could be headed toward a contested or brokered convention and wouldn’t commit to Donald Trump being the nominee even if he entered the July event with the most delegates.

“I think it’s possible,” the GOP boss said on ABC’s “This Week” when asked if he felt a brokered convention could happen. “We’re preparing for the possibility.”

“History would show ... when someone’s a little bit short, you let the process play out,” he said during a separate appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” suggesting that it could mean nothing for Trump to enter the convention the delegate leader but short of the 1,237 necessary to secure the nomination.

Priebus also wouldn’t shut the door on the possibility that the Republican Party could ultimately rally around a candidate who is not currently on the ballot.

UNPRECENDENTED 2016 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY COULD CONCLUDE WITH HISTORIC, CHAOTIC BROKERED CONVENTION

“I think it would be somewhat, very unusual,” he said on ABC when asked if the nominee would be one of the three remaining candidates in the race. “But I can’t 100% guarantee that.”

Under GOP rules, the party, in the event of a brokered convention, could feasibly end up choosing a nominee who wasn’t a formal candidate.

It's a fact that this is ignorant and ridiculous.

The GOP is a private organization, and not required to abide by any election results; no votes have been "stolen," Cruz has done nothing wrong or inappropriate.

Except lie about Ben Carson. Oh, and eat a booger.

 

[Avatar4321]

And how do I know this person was a life long Republican?

And how did Cruz cheat by putting together a superior organization?

If trump wanted to win, maybe he should have sent his team in before the last day and put together a slate long beforehand
