Republicans to scrap primaries and caucuses as Trump challengers cry foul

[gamewell45]

Again, why do you care if you're not affiliated with that party? I don’t give a $#@! what they do.

Because on election day I have to cast my ballot for someone; I'd like to know my choices and for me its important to know how the political parties conduct themselves. I don't know how to make it any clearer to you.

Then vote third party.


Sheesh

Too many people are content with being dumb-asses and being loyal to one of the two major political parties. Yes, they are dumb-asses.

I didn't say anything about principles. I said that it was the only time the Republicans showed any amount of backbone during the Obama era.
Your March 2020 thing assumes Trump won't be reelected, right?

It doesn't matter, in terms of allowing him to appoint another justice within 7 or 8 months of the election. You can't assume that he won't be reelected any more than you can assume that he will.

Whatever.



The Garland Supreme Court nomination was the only time the Republicans stood firm during the Obama era. Other than that they were and basically still are spineless.

The republicans are certainly reminding me that it can be done.

The Dems already did it. Pay more attention.

[Captdon]

And it appears that they are cutting out those in certain states who are running against the incumbent President. IMO that's fundamentally wrong.

Why? It's a private party choice. Do you really believe Trump isn't going to be nominated?

[Captdon]

So what? that's your answer? why should it matter to you what someone's party affiliation (if any) is?

If you're a Republican it is none of your business. That's why.

[Captdon]

As they should; just that some of them tend to use a more democratic process that allows party members to make their selection before the convention.

You mean go through the motion of democracy? Trump is going to be the nominee. That's it.

Your choices are right there on the ballot. If you don't like how the parties choose their nominee, don't vote.
