The party rules may be wreaking havoc, however Bernie actually knows how to play the game, not just shout from a pulpit.

Of course, it can't be Trump's fault when Cruz garners more CA delegates than Trump in June.

Bud - do you realize the number of primaries before California's in June? Whether he's a billionaire or not - he's spending his own money running and one thing about people with money - they stick to a budget. He's concentrating on the east coast now - he's not like your buddy Teddy who's expenses are being paid for by others. Also Cruz isn't spending too much time in NY. He knows he already po'd enough people downstate with his NY City comment and knows he's 3rd in the pollls with a measally 15% in NY - so let's talk about why Cruz isn't in NY trying to shore up his numbers!

Well bub, Cruz has spent more time in NY than Trump spent in Colorado. Cruz has probably spent less time in NY than Trump and his fan club have spent over the fact that they don't understand how the process works.

If Cruz and Kasich together keep Trump from getting 50% in NY, then it is a loss for Trump. His fans should start gearing up for another complaining about the "rigged" system and how Cruz is so unfair *insert foot stomp here* blah, blah, blah.

There's nothing wrong with the two party system, there's something wrong with the political class and the special interest industrial complex which has hijacked it.

The polls have been way off in every state so far. Wisconsin
"New Wisconsin Poll Has Donald Trump Up 10 Points Over Ted Cruz"
and Colorado are examples.

The smart money would be on Trump not getting more than 50% if we were actually betting.

I see this change was made in August of 2015. Does this mean that they think the general population of Colorado aren't sharp enough to vote responsibly? Only since August 2015? Got to wonder.

I think they must have been smoking their legal pot while at the convention! They had to be stoned!

Ahh. So.

  • Trump wins but with < 50% = LOSS
  • Trump wins but with > 50% = awarded delegates.
Nice double standard there.
