Two more questions to ask questions would be:

WHY, if you claim to not be a member of the establishment, would you seek the nomination of the Grand Old Party?

IF you're the super-duper master of deal-making you claim to be, WHY do you jump into that party's arena without first learning that party's rules?

This political process is looking more like a fraternity/sorority rush every day.

For me, this will be my 4th time voting in the general election...tbh I never paid attention to the primary/caucus process, and just blindly voted. Now 16 years later I'm finally seeing how rigged this system is...with the Super Delegates on the Democratic side, and the brokered convention talk and Colorado stuff Cruz pulled off on the Republican side. The party heads really pic the nomination, not the people. This is enlightening for me and the Trump/Sanders supporters and a revamp of the nomination process. Too much power is given to the "Washington Cartel" "The Establishment"

If this is about Colorado then no one has a complaint. All of the candidates knew the rules going in and not a peep was heard.


Trump was out organized on the ground.

You don't think that means they like you though, do you? Your role is to sit down, shut up and go along with the program.
Could someone give me a really good reason why voter ID is a bad idea? I have never heard one argument that holds any water. Anyone can get an government ID. All you have to do is go to the DMV> and don't say, for some it is too far. We live in a somewhat rural area; our closest DMV is about 20 miles away. Almost anyone can find someone willing to help them get an ID. My husband doesn't drive anymore, but he did get his license renewed on his birthday. the only reason: for Id purposes.

We all know every state sets their own way of voting and choosing delegates. This is Colo way. Some states allow cross over voting, some allow independents to help choose the candidates and then there are super delegates the Dems have. I may not like some of the systems, you may not, but certainly Colo. didn't do this just to keep anyone out or let anyone in.

Frasier Crane is a confirmed R as well. (IRL) Rebecca is the demo that *should be* for Trump- his tax plan will probably save her thousands.

I suspect Norm is also a GOPHERs. Overweight, often unemployed, and hiding at a bar while he makes fun of his wife.

Dianne and Cliff obvs liberal.

Lilith and Sam probably conservative for Boston but I think are more Independent.

Carla you would think a Dem, but obviously she's pro-life. Tough call there.....

No, Carla most def a Boston Italian born and raised liberal. But she wouldn't have time to vote anyways.

And she really should have been promoted to bartender after like a decade. .....
