The GOP is telling the American people they pick the nominee and our votes are just a sham . Do we have democracy or just a dictatorship by the GOP? This is outlandish..

The Bernie people are getting the shaft too. Sounds like they have it all tied up.. Cruz is their guy now to take Trump out but will drop him fast and put in Ryan or Kasich. Kasich is getting money somewhere .. to keep running. He should have been broke over a month ago.

Actually, that's nearly impossible under the electoral college system.

But never mind that . . . . both Democrats are crushing him in the polls head-to-head, and 63% of the entire electorate say that they "definitely will not" vote for Mr. Trump . . . . that's a bit of a mathematical conundrum.

This. Both Hillary and Cruz are the most disgusting Americans that I have ever seen. They both have no regards for anyone other than themselves! Free elections? What a joke!

I would like to see Hillary and Cruz decided on a coin toss because at that point, we would know who was the most cunning and deceitful!

Isn't Colorado another very "white" state? Those states usually go for Cruz. I just have to believe that no one that believes in God would vote for the lying and deceitful Cruz. Of course, those who believe that they are "saved" by faith alone and actions do not matter feel that deceitful behavior, cheating, lying and stealing are "forgiven" since Jesus (supposedly) died for their sins. Yeah, see how that works for ya' in the end!

Well, if he does not get the nomination even with more pledged delegates than Hillary, you may have a point. But DNC has not engaged in anything as egregious as what RNC has done in this primary season . . . for sure.

If they had held a real primary, I'm thinking Trump would have easily taken it.

It's pretty diverse . . . . only 70% non-Hispanic whites.

The political parties are private organizations, you are part of the nominee selection process by voting in the primaries and participating in the caucuses - but just one part and not the final part. If you don't like it form your own party.
