Lewandowski lied. Trump lied. Trump supporters are used to being on the receiving end of Trump and his staff's lies and they don't seem to mind. They don't mind the whining either. Trump winning seems to be all that matters to Trump and the zealots among his supporters.
You left out Michelle's name when you were listing the liars. It's important to retain our objectivity in such an emotionally charged situation. I do want you to know that I'm not a Trump zealot, and him winning is not all that matters to me. I do; however, resent votes for ANY candidate being effectively neutralized because it isn't what the RNC thinks is an appropriate vote.

Trump let Lewandowski keep his title but he effectively stripped him of much of his authority. Maybe the timing was just a coincidence, but I suspect Trump was furious at Lewandowski for all of the negative attention he has brought to the campaign. Newly hired Paul Manafort, Trump's Convention Manager, would have normally reported to Lewandowski, but he insists that he only answers directly to Trump.
Cruz is likely to complete his sweep of Wyoming delegates today when the state holds its convention. Expect even more whining from Trump about voter disenfranchisement despite the fact that he has won 45 percent of the pledged delegates with only 37 percent of the popular votes. As Trump has admitted himself, he only whines when he loses.
Perhaps Lewandowski escaped criminal prosecution because what he did wasn't "criminal". As far as negative attention is concerned, there is more than enough being heaped upon this campaign by the RNC.
I once signed myself out of the hospital in order to vote. I won't ever make that mistake again. You speak of voter disenfranchisement, but when a vote can be reduced to nothing by a political power house that assumes to know what I want more than I do.......how else could you describe it?
Trump supporters or not, this is wrong. Our right to vote, and to have that vote counted, is or should be our basic right.
