Does that mean their process is great? No, I think it's dumb. But it's built specifically to get politically engaged people to take part.

Read the rules of the Convention in Colorado before spouting off allegations of cheating or stealing. The rules for Colorado have been in place for a while. Trump and his campaign had an opportunity for a LONG time to understand the rules. His incompetence cost him delegates.

Does that mean their process is great? No, I think it's dumb. But it's built specifically to get politically engaged people to take part. People DID vote, not directly, but for representatives. It's part of Colorado's process. Nothing was stolen. Learn the rules.

Simply put, Trump got clowned by Cruz's campaign organization, as has been proven time and time again.

Getting tired of Trump crying "FRAUD! LIAR! CHEATER! THIEF!" every time he loses a state.

And even if it's NOT Cruz' own people doing the actual stealing, Trump is capitalizing on the notion that it is to garner additional support. Life hands you lemons...

I'm pretty sure victim complexes has always been alignment independent. Just hear any fundamentalist rant about how christianity is persecuted this days.

Well Christians have been persecuted since the beginning of the Common Era (as was predicted in scripture). To say it's any more extreme nowadays is probably a stretch, though that doesn't mean Christians don't have legitimate complaints concerning court rulings in the U.S.

Hi,

I live in Germany. I think as a primitive reaction to jihadist terrorism we see some ultranationalist movements that already existed being more successful in many countries. In France now the Front National is successful, in Poland the national-conservative PiS won the elections. In Germany we have the Pegida movement and the AfD, that makes open racist comments.

Even in India with it´s neighbor Pakistan hinduist nationalism and crime against muslims is growing.

So thanks for telling us you don´t agree with this man, but it´s not only a reaction in the USA, not even only in countries with a Christian majority. It´s an international phenomenon and unfortunately exactly what Isis wants. Well, basically idiots everywhere, but not a majority. :-)

edit: 1) In my opinion it´s not a good idea, that single persons can have that much money(=influence), may their names be Trump, Putin, Murdock, Berlusconi or other...

2) more than 1.000.000 refugees in Germany this year, no terrorist attack so far. But there will be some in the future - with or without those people that are running away from violence and have to find a new home.

I´m more afraid of the already existing violence from our own right wing idiots than being afraid of peaceful muslims. If you mistreat them, it might lead to a reaction though, extremism has a tendency to give birth to new extremism, I think.

I mean, this one time (not at band camp) I was called a cracker by some African-Americans and pressured to go elsewhere. Is it true that white people have been persecuted by black people in my lifetime, simply for being white? Technically, yes.
