The Rules

The Donald had this to say about Colorado rules:

On Saturday, April 9, Colorado had an “election” without voters. Delegates were chosen on behalf of a presidential nominee, yet the people of Colorado were not able to cast their ballots to say which nominee they preferred.

A planned vote had been canceled. And one million Republicans in Colorado were sidelined.

In recent days, something all too predictable has happened: Politicians furiously defended the system. “These are the rules,” we were told over and over again. If the “rules” can be used to block Coloradans from voting on whether they want better trade deals, or stronger borders, or an end to special-interest vote-buying in Congress—well, that’s just the system and we should embrace it.

Let me ask America a question: How has the “system” been working out for you and your family?

I, for one, am not interested in defending a system that for decades has served the interest of political parties at the expense of the people. Members of the club—the consultants, the pollsters, the politicians, the pundits and the special interests — grow rich and powerful while the American people grow poorer and more isolated.

I explained a bit of the system that Donald talks about in The Big Game. I also discussed the Colorado Steal and how it is backfiring in Let The Deal Making Commence. Let me add that since the Steal, Trump is up 4 points nationally and Cruz is down 10. Funny enough in e-mails to me the Cruz campaign has been touting his momentum and using that “momentum” in asking for donations. They are correct about the momentum. They just got the direction wrong.
