Re: ” does this also mean that all those TRUMPeters, voters, who said they would not vote for anyone else and stay home, ( a brilliant idea to give away the country to socialist/commie ) apply to them also???? “
I don’t understand your question. Could you rephrase it? Thanks.
Re: ” He simply NEVER understood HOW the actual delegates were apportioned. Those rules were there for all to see LAST YEAR. “
Like most non-politicians, Trump naively thought that the decision of who gets nominated is in the hands of voting Republicans. He didn’t realize the extent to which the system is weighted in favor of those that the Republican Establishment wants.
Just look at what the Republican Establishment did to Ron Paul in 2012 – ousting him from the convention with a rule enacted shortly beforehand for the specific purpose of ensuring that he couldn't influence the outcome. Is that corrupt? Oh, yeah. Unfair? Well, the rules allowed them to do it. I guess it wasn't unfair, then, was it?
In fact, the weighting toward TPTB-sanctioned candidates is so heavy that the Republican Establishment itself believed it inconceivable that the party would ever nominate someone who they didn’t control. Whoops! Chalk one up for the opponents of TPTB!
Now, that 2012 decision aimed at Ron Paul is hurting TPTB and helping Donald Trump. Good, I say! It serves 'em right.
Donald Trump views this sort of thing as ‘unfair.’ Well, he’s wrong. The system is fair even though it totally sucks, and that’s what he should be saying.
FORTUNATELY, Donald Trump has just opened a lot of people’s eyes to how corrupt and RIGGED the whole nominating process is. See? Trump is already having a positive, long-term effect on the party. Re: ” SO, should I do what TRUMP advocates and just stay home and give the election to Hillary?????? “
Sure. You’re from Michigan, right? I don’t think it’s a swing state. It was a 'Blue' state in 1992. And in 1996. And in 2000. and in 2004. And in 2008. And in 2012. You might as well face the fact: Michagan's electoral votes are going for Hillary Clinton (or Bernie Sanders if Hillary gets indicted) no matter how you vote.
Re: ” This is exactly what I do not like about Trump. He is like a child “
What’s more important to you? Behavior? Or results? Personally, I’d far rather have a crass, rude, politically-incorrect leader who makes good things happen than another smooth-talking, lying, backstabbing, career politician who’s in the pocket of special interest groups and banksters. We’ve gone that route over and over and over and over and over. I’m sick to death of it. It’s time to get someone in who thinks and acts differently. Trump says what he thinks. Like you or me, he often errs and sometimes (probably, though he's loathe to admit it) regrets it. But you know, I think that he’s REAL. I just can’t stand all the lies and fraud anymore, micro. Honestly, I’m to the point of thinking that for the good of the country, we should just throw every existing politician in the country in front of a firing squad. It would be a chaotic mess for a few weeks or months, but in the long run, we’d be SO much better off.
Do YOU want what we’ve been getting from our leaders to just go on and on? You’ll undoubtedly say ‘No!’ but, reading between the lines, it sure sounds like it. You want a non-establishment type who talks and acts like a smooth and shady politician. That ain’t gonna happen.
Okay, so here’s where I think we stand: Trump IS going to win the Republican nomination on the first ballot. If he has half a brain, and he does, he will change his approach dramatically. He’s smart enough to know that what worked with Republicans as a whole won’t work with women and Moderates, and these are the groups with which he needs to make inroads.
Now, though, he probably should. Hillary Clinton’s countless gaping flaws are well documented, but voters are imbeciles with practically no long-term memories. Donald Trump doesn’t need to assassinate Hillary Clinton’s character through name-calling. He can do it by just reminding voters over and over and over and over and over about the scandals associated with the Clinton clan. Over and over and over, telling the stories ad nauseum, until even the densest female and Moderate voters understand that a vote for Hillary is a vote for corruption, graft, rape, lies and power-grubbing. It’s a vote for selling out our country to special interests and Friends Of Hillary who are No Friends Of America.
If Donald Trump does this, he’ll win the election. Of course, he’s a New York City boy, and he may not have the discipline he needs to pull it off. I hope he can, though. While I don’t agree with many of Trump’s stated positions, I feel strongly that the nation needs a political revolution, and he’s the only candidate who might be able to pull that off. Otherwise, the Banking Gestapo is going to kill us all.

Just a question, but
does this also mean that all those TRUMPeters, voters, who said they would not vote for anyone else and stay home, ( a brilliant idea to give away the country to socialist/commie ) apply to them also????
You see, it isn't the fact that Trump is a POPULIST, ignorant to a fault about the nation's fundamental history and the rights of the citizens and states, it is about the hatred, nastiness, manner in which this charlatan just berates everyone.
A few days ago he was whining and crying that the system was rigged, even though it wasn't as far as delegates went. He simply NEVER understood HOW the actual delegates were apportioned. Those rules were there for all to see LAST YEAR. But Trump really didn't plan on being in this election that long anyway, which is why he did not know how the delegates were really gotten!
SO, should I adopt the same policy I heard out of TRUMPS very MOUTH this morning as far as voting goes?
He DECLARED that HIS voters would not vote for anyone else.
SO, should I do what TRUMP advocates and just stay home and give the election to Hillary??????
This is exactly what I do not like about Trump. He is like a child, a bully, who does not do HIS HOMEWORK about the delegates, and then when it doesn't go his way he call EVERYONE NAMES, declares something is RIGGED, when it wasn't, and never retracts anything , no matter how stupid, that he says.
He does not know how to win graciously. His real self is being shown.
So, what happens if Cruz says all his voters would not vote for Trump and should stay home??
Yep, Trump's a genius all right.... Maybe he should LEARN to only open his YAP only after he has thought something through and gotten some counsel from those who are smarter than him , even his newest and better advisors....
