Disenfranchisement? Where do you think that language is coming from? You have stopped challenging anything I post with facts. It's all about emotion with you and most, but not all Trump supporters. Political parties are private organizations. You and I have no God given right to participate in selecting the nominees. Nor do we have any constitutional right to do so. The parties set the rules and if we don't like them, we are free to switch parties or to start or own parties. You and Mr. Trump may not like it, but those are the facts of the matter.

If Trump does not like the rules, which have not changed since 2012, he has the opportunity to change them. If he has been out flanked by Cruz because he did not understand the rules, then that is his own fault.

So if you want to follow Mr. Trump's approach of responding to his political setbacks with emotional outbursts and personal insults, that is your choice, but those tactics do not change the facts.

So if I understand things from your perspective, everything you come up with is fact, and everything I come up with are emotional outbursts or personal insults. That about right? While you would never insult anyone I take it?

The 'rules' of this year's GOP Primary schedule, (under which the nominee is to be selected BTW) clearly set forth certain givens, one of which being the 'fact' that the vast majority of available delegates, are to be assigned to the prospective nominees by virtue of a quaint but time honored practice known as voting. Party officials and self absorbed conservative media personalities associated with the traitorous #NeverTrump movement, have indicated they would by hook or crook, deny Trump the nomination if it's the last thing they do. Now, I know a towering intellect such as yours has little patience with the dullards that frequent this forum, none the less, that represents a clear intent to disenfranchise certain voters in my book.

Mr Trump's approach is not without merit according to those I have heard commenting only this morning. In any case, I would refer you to the last paragraph in post # 40 , I have not defended Trump's lack of political prowess.
