Trump Cries "Foul" Over Wyoming But Remains Silent About Hawaii

Clearly the Drumpf doesn't know, much less understand, the process by which the Republicans choose the nominee. Maybe I can clear it up for him and his campaign "team." Personally, I think they're too busy eating their crayons to get it, but I can at least try. Here we go...

1) The number of delegates required to have the nomination "handed" to you is ironclad at 1,237. Got it? Good.

2) Anything short of 1,237 - even by one single lonely delegate - is grounds for an "open" convention. Not likely to happen, but still a remote possibility. Got it? Good.

3) Each state has their own rules for selecting their delegates and how those delegates vote during the convention.

a) Some states are "winner take all" - meaning every delegate from that state must vote for the primary/caucus winner of the state on the first ballot.

b) Some states are "winner take most" - meaning the winner receives the votes of most of the delegates while other candidates receive a few as well.

c) Some states' delegates are "apportioned" - meaning the percentage of votes a given candidate will receive is commensurate to how well they did in that state's primary/caucus.

d) Some states, like PA, have rules that say the majority of delegates are not bound by the state's primary results. In essence, they are free to vote however they wish.

***For the record, I'm well aware that I've stripped the processes down to the bare bones minimum, but I kinda-sorta had to. How else will Drumpf and his team understand? I don't have the proper amount of crayons or construction paper it would take to really explain it to them. Just sayin'.***

My point is that it's the state's Republican Party apparatus that sets the rules for how and when delegates are chosen and who they vote for in the convention. These rules have been known for well over a year.

For The Fraud of Fifth Avenue and his team to be crying "foul" now shows how ill-prepared he is for just a simple election. It has to make one wonder how he'll ever be prepared if he wins the presidency, God forbid.

Calling the Colorado system "rigged" while remaining silent about a nearly identical process in Hawaii is especially enlightening to those of us who are actually paying attention. The only major difference between the 2 states is that the Cheetos Kid won Hawaii and lost Colorado.

P.S., A plurality of delegates does not equal a majority. Period. End of story.

I'm So Over "The Donald"

The amount of hate Megyn Kelly is getting over the debate is mystifying to me. Since when is asking tough questions out of character for Kelly?

Pushing a candidate hard for answers is her job, and if that candidate can't take the heat or doesn't like the question, perhaps he shouldn't be running for the highest office in the land.

Trump's record - and make no mistake about it, it is his record - is something he has to answer for and his treatment of women in the past is cause for concern. And if there was ever any doubt, just look at the things he's said about Megyn after the debate. He's sulking like a ten-year-old whose parents told him to go to his room.

Trump is a clown and a buffoon, and far out of his depth. He's used to getting his own way - all day, every day. His brash, rude behavior might be fine for a "reality" show or running a business (into 4 bankruptcies) but it isn't fitting for a presidential candidate, let alone a PRESIDENT. How far do you think that behavior will get him on the international stage?

"The Donald" isn't Reaganesque. Reagan was bold but tactful. He made clear where the United States stood without belittling anyone in a fit of rage. Trump is all flash and no substance, buffoonery wrapped in boorishness.

Instead of blasting Megyn Kelly for "attacking" Trump, we should be thanking her for exposing him as the fraud he is. It's amazing to me that people are still supporting him.

Look, I get it - Trump is popular right now. He's saying a lot of things that are resonating with a ton of people. I'm not buying it - not even a little bit.

He might be bold, but he's also crass and arrogant. He's certainly not presidential. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the only candidate I've seen recently as arrogant as Trump is King DingleBarry himself and even he isn't as crass about it.

Every true conservative has rightly pointed out that the U.S. no longer operates under a free-market system; that our politicians are bought and sold to the highest bidder and no longer represent We the People.

Who do you think is one of the aforementioned bidders? If you answered Trump, you're correct. He admitted as much in the debate. He pays, and they come running when he calls. Seriously, is that who we really want to lead this nation? I know *I* don't.

Trump has favored a single-payer healthcare system in the past, supported gun control, and I believe (though I'm not entirely sure) has stated that he's pro-choice. I'm not willing to put the rapidly disappearing future of this nation in the hands of someone who doesn't hold any of my values except when following the political winds.

Sorry, it's just not happening. ~ Hunter

What's Wrong With America: Governance By Polls

Just about to go to bed, and flipping thrust Fox News, and caught the last few minutes of O'Reilly. I don't usually watch him anymore because he's NOT a conservative.

During his email segment, someone wrote in, apparently chastising Bernie Goldberg, who said that impeaching King DingleBarry would be a bad idea due to polls suggesting that only 33% of voters would support such a move.

I don't believe for a second that it's only 33%. That being said, since when is doing the right thing dependent upon POLLS?

I couldn't possibly care less if Republicans lose every election from now until the end of time IF THEY DO THE RIGHT THING NOW. Doing what's right isn't political, or SHOULDN'T be.

Governance by polls is one of the biggest reasons this nation is as screwed up as it is. I, for one, am sick unto DEATH of it.

Just do the right thing because it's THE RIGHT THING TO DO. ~ Hunter
