So, given BBV and "controlled elections"... |
|
What happens during the primaries.
Who is in charge and gets to go in to the booth an "press the magic buttons" and determine the winner(s) for the Democratic/Repuke/Minor party primaries?
What faction of Repukes will keep control of Repuke primaries?
How many wolves (Repukes) in sheep (Democrat) clothing are going to attempt to control/manipulate Democratic primaries?
So they won this election, what will be the consequences?
Do I sense a "Colonel Nickelson" moment about to hit the Rupuke in Fl and Ohio?
Think of the end of the movie "Bridge Over River Kwai" when Col. Nickelson realizes what he has wrought in his zeal to win and asks himself retorically... "What have I done?"
Really, what have they done (not only to us but themselves)?

1. If you recall, Dean was assassinated in Iowa. |

The caucus system seems to be unlike primary voting, but I don't understand it well enough to know its weaknesses.
I'm sure it could be fixed, and there is stuff out there that alleges it is (votescam, for instance), but I don't know.
It is frustrating when current events thrust huge swaths of the population into "conspiracy theory" just because the media is obviously parroting nonsense.
People want some truth, and if they don't get it from the majors, they will have to take what they can find.
