Here is a good example of our broken system, between the Wyoming escapade and this one. I know a lot of people don't like Trump, a lot do not like Cruz, but this system is not "democratic" by any means. It should be straight up votes of people, not "here's our pick, lets vote".Republicrats are just as dysfunctional as Democraps.

    Oh, I am open to any choice that has a flea fart chance, I would take Ben Carson at this point, even if he has narcolepsy, so did Regan. But at least he seemed somewhat rational, as long as you didn't let his religious side out to play.

    Michael, again, there is just no good options, as there is no for or against, other than Trump they are all panedering to their special intrests, and lying out their collective asses, Trump just has the one special interest group no one cared about, the ones with no money. But they outnumber the other ones, unless they band together and rig the election, which they will. So, where would you go? Other than not playing at all, which may be viewed as a shrug, but it is a toothless shrug, vice the one that takes away their real support base.

    Agree. Obfuscation is disenfranchisement, disenfranchisement is lack of control of your participation. Which is the plan in Wyoming by the GOP establishment and it's what they got.... and I am pissed. However, the Wyoming GOP "convention" was this last weekend and I'm in contact with one of the establishment types and he said that the process would be discussed. Have not heard back from him, as yet, as to the discussion or the conclusions, but I don't hold out much hope. Power is a hard thing to relinquish....

    That is the true shame and also the secret they do not want discussed. The EC becomes an issue every 4 years and goes away, and you are right, that is where the power really is. But the sheeple are happy with a year of cheap entertainment, then back to the real business of corruption and stealing money.

    Obfuscation is control. In case you have not noticed lately, it appears our entire political process is based on control, control of your money, health, finance, retirement, housing, and votes. They make the laws for themselves and screw you. Yet the majority of the sheeple out there want to either be in the black herd or the white hers (philosophically speaking) and it is really the brown herd.

    You got it CBJ. GOP insiders will control whoh is the GOP candidate just as they always have, and the voters don't matter.
    That's why voters en masse should leave the GOP, stop wasting their votes, and support libertarians.

    I live in Wyoming. At last count, 971 people caucused to make their selection. That's out of 270,000 voters. 0.03%. 99.97% of voters had no say. I know of a family that has to drive 12 miles to vote in an "election;" 65 miles to caucus. I have to drive 4 miles to vote in a election; 31 miles to caucus. The caucus system is designed to be obtuse, onerous, and distractive and make sure those that are conveniently located control the outcome. Let me glean my information as I see fit, let me vote in a "election" and let me participate simply and efficiently. Obfuscation is disenfranchisement.

    Again that's your choice not mine. Your ethics not mine and your responsibility not mine. I can't credit you nor absolve you of your own independent action I can only wonder which of three remarkably similar choices, you have confined for consideration, will be your responsibility after the fact. Since they are all Republicrat or DemoDumbo choices.

    I never use the word sheeple I don't giver them that much credit. I don't hate anyone that's a word found most commonly in supporters of the left. Your idea of eating shit is your idea and it is not the only choice. If that's you r level of ethics and moral values by all means eat shit and don't try to blame the rest of us for your curious sense of morals, values and ethics. Nor blame us for your own independently arrived at choice. The only orders you are following are your own. If that's your decision then munch away. Pointing fingers elsewhere will not absolve you of responsibility nor blame nor award you credit for your actions. Like all of us you are on your own.

    How you explain it to your children and grand children or to the face you see in the mirror is strictly your own independent problem. Including which brand of mouth wash to use afterwards.

    As for your attitude to other choices that's your attitude if you do not wish to choose one of those choices that's your choice. They are still choices. It's all a matter of personal ethics. As for hate? It does awaken a sense of fleeting pity.

    Since the popular vote is not binding nor even counted in the selection of the president and vice president it hardly matters where it goes. The discussion should be about which electors to vote for if that is the system in your state. As for the electoral college no one not once has put forward an amendment to change that method therefore it's still binding and legal. The rest is just 'talk.'

    And it all boils down to no real choices. The Republicrats seem good at doing this, almost professional.

    Michael, ok, you hate the choices, all politicians are socialist, they will take everything from you for what they want, and babble justifications 90% of the sheeple buy into, but his point is: take the turd that stinks the least. The only other option is to either not play, or quit. Either one neuters your political rights.

    Except we apparently cannot figure out a hack proof way to use the internet, on top of which, just as with mail in votes, how do you secure the count? You could have the online voting go one way and the candidate who is chosen is declared the winner by recount or outright. Trust is what we do not have, even less than security.

    There are a lot who won't vote if he does win. There are a lot who won't vote period. The problem is the fractious nature of the politics we have, and I think it is being engineered just that way. There is no reason for Jeb Bush to have the huge financial money pot he got from hundreds of big donors, and be such a moron he could not get one primary. Something is very wrong, and the system of primaries is incestuous in that it is by the parties for the parties. I can guarantee even if Trum has all the delegates he needs, they will find a way to have someone else, who may be the one intended from the beginning, this all makes no sense but is a huge cost, and all this money has to come from somewhere by people who going to get something.

    not to mention the Rinocrats already deserted the 'Constitution and joined the left leaving not much of a republican party except - in name only. It isn't the Constitution Party but the Constitution that needs supporting and bringing back. far better than what the former Republicans now offer.
