As I said on another thread..
What if your candidate won, fair and square, and Mitt and his gang tried to railroad your guy?


Trump didn't win 'fair and square'. He won with lies, divisiveness, and character assassination.

Your point is moot, and all bets are off.

Say what?

Australian ballots force the voter to rank the candidates, with a #1 choice, a #2 choice, etc.

If no candidate gets 50% or more, then the election officials remove the candidate with the least votes and try again.

Trump = grass root primary voters choice. Anti-Trump LEADERSHIP = cheap labor Establishment.
Those are the facts.

trump=democrat crossover/losers/kkk in life voters.

Ted= Grassroots Teaparty(limited government) voters.

trump won a rigged election..and won at Convention with the GOPE.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning, they want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.

Just runoff the top two who do not pass 50%.

The problem with # 1 2 3 voting is that the results for 1 + 3 Could overcome #2 ...or 2 +4 beating # 1.

Just have a runoff of the top two if any fail to get 50% +1.

Link to procedures.

I have yet to see a progressive voting scheme include a 50% minimum.
