Not enough States supported it for it to be considered.  Its over. Anti's lost again.

That seems to be a matter of controversy, which you obviously want to sweep under the rug with chants of 'We Won'.

Sounds kind of like the Establishment does it.

And to the cheers of 'we won' it actually gave the establishment permanent rule making authority over the delegates and stripped the delegates and grassroots of a lot of power. It had only a little to do with the 'free the delegates movements', the rules changes mostly were a power grab by the establishment.

--and some think that was a victory.

Stripping the grassroots and delegates of power is a loss for this country and ultimately has destroyed any chance of saving this country.  I'm trying to figure out how those who proclaim Trump to be anti-establishment aren't seeing the big picture as to what happened.  Not a victory but a travesty.

Considering how many times Trump called the system rigged, you and candidate have cornered the market on hypocrisy.

This isn't anything new, though... I've heard tales of the same sort from back in the days when conservatives and Rockefeller Republicans were fighting it out. 

Still, good ol' Donald is pretty much the death of the GOP, and I guess that's probably a good thing.

That is what some said about Goldwater, and about Reagan.

The grass roots are the voters who voted for Trump by a larger amount than any GOP candidate in Primary history. The antis are not grass roots, never were. How could it be when its led and funded by the open borders cartel?

[Ghost Bear]

Well, no reason to support Dan Patrick for reelection, that's good to know.

And yet, there was a larger group of voters in the Republican primary- voters who voted for a candidate other than Trump.
~13 Million votes for Trump
~15 Million votes for candidates other than Trump.

The latter also deserves a voice-- especially as it is a larger group of voters. It isn't just about the last man standing game.

And yet it was a 17 way race and this argument flips back to say 75% voted against your guy. So obviously the Cruz people on the convention floor doing this are not representing grass roots.

I used to feel my IQ drop a few points every time I read something on TOS posted by Harleylady, or GreetingsPunyHumans, so I came here to escape it.

So much for that.

Flipping the stupid argument that assumes voters who voted for another candidate voted against the candidate who won; about 75% of voters voted against Cruz, so no way in hell could Cruz supporters be labeled grass roots when 3/4's of GOP voters voted against him.

I don't give a rat's ass how many Democrat voters Trump wooed via his reality TV shitshow of a campaign.  They are still Democrats, and I will only vote for constitutional originalist limited-government conservatives... which Loser Donald is not even close to being in that group.

Trump won closed GOP primaries by about the same amounts. Yes there are Democrats who cannot stand Hilary and are for America First.

That's pretty much exactly the opposite of the truth.

So the fact the so called grass roots you claim had 75 percent of all GOP voters vote against them and could muster no more then 10 percent of delegates at the convention while having its leaders being open border Mormons and RINOS rebuts your claim.

Facts are not your friend.

Oh son, I doubt very much that you'd recognize a fact if one slapped you across the face.  You certainly aren't demonstrating any such ability with your constant delusional posts here.

Because liberal northeastern states were where all the closed primaries are. Places like Trump's state of New York, where state legislators are hauled off in paddy wagons on a regular basis.
