Question to the moderators:

If certain members are crying like little girls, are we not supposed to call them out for it? How do I address their unrepentant whining without you feeling that I am attacking them personally?

If it were me, I'd explain it to them just as Abraxis has been doing.  Too easy to fall for Drudge headlines.  A little research and I think those who are not happy will move on to another thread.  New York is coming up soon enough.  :whistle:

Or just ignore them. Sometimes the response says everything you need to know, not in the way they may want.

I have and will continue to call them out without the need for personal attacks! If that is unacceptable you may as well get rid of me right now!

That's the secret.  Blaming Cruz for the fact that Trump is clueless reveals all you need to know about the poster.

btw, I don't know who's been out of line on this thread.  I don't believe civility demands never responding to what other posters are doing.

On the other hand, if someone is acting petulant and foolish,  no need to call them out on it. Let them dig their own hole.  ^-^

Indeed!  (A mistake I sometimes make). 

A few of them dig quite well.   ^-^

It was Trump's choice to stage a hostile takeover of the GOP - from within the GOP.   If he and his "great people" don't know the rules they shouldn't have entered the game.

Exactly.  Trump is clueless.  :silly:

I ain't that smart, but I guess it's easy to win when the people don't get a vote!  ;)

Wouldn't it be great if we could run the whole country like this?

It's ok.  Obviously Trump ain't that smart either.   :silly:

The people got a vote in precinct caucuses on March 1.  You've heard of caucuses, right?  Iowa was a caucus, Nevada is a caucus.  Voters show up, get in groups and vote for people to represent them.

Then the delegates vote.  It's all above board and perfectly legal. 

It makes as much sense as Trump winning 38% of the vote in Florida and taking ALL the delegates.

What happened in Colorado on March 1st?

When you find the answer to that, you'll realize how much  you've been lied to in the past two days about what happened in Colorado.

Winner take all makes less sense.

Agreed.  Maybe Trump should ask his campaign manager what the hell happened before screaming foul?  I have a close friend here whose son is amateur US MMA champion for his weight class.  One time he agreed to a fight under Muay Tai rules, but didn't realize what they were.  He lost because he failed to look at the differences in rules and scoring from what he was used to.  Trump's campaign manager appears to have made the same mistake.

Trump shoots his mouth off first and thinks later.

Or never at all come to think of it.

Maybe said campaign manager was too busy preparing his defense against Michelle Fields. ;)

8888crybaby   8888crybaby   8888crybaby  I have given some of the Trump supporters way too much credit.  I should have known better.  Obviously, Trump doesn't fully understand the electoral process.  That shouldn't really come as any surprise as he obviously doesn't understand the function of the three branches of government or the Constitution either.

Trump's version of the U.S. Constitution:

You are going to be mine, all mine, like my dog or my horse or my falcon.

So he commands it to be written.  I doubt it will be done.
