Boy, doesn't that sum up our corrupt Two-Party Ruling-Class Elite System?
Political parties, not voters, choose their presidential nominees, a Republican convention rules member told CNBC, a day after GOP front-runner Donald Trump rolled up more big primary victories.
"The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nomination. That's the conflict here," Curly Haugland, an unbound GOP delegate from North Dakota, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. He even questioned why primaries and caucuses are held.
Haugland is one of 112 Republican delegates who are not required to cast their support for any one candidate because their states and territories don't hold primaries or caucuses.
Even with Trump's huge projected delegate haul in four state primaries Tuesday, the odds are increasing the billionaire businessman may not ultimately get the 1,237 delegates needed to claim the GOP nomination before the convention.

Erm, voters don't pick nominees. So what are you bitching about?
Gee i don't know, what do you think we're bitching about?
Probably because you think your dear party is poking it right up your poop chute. It's a shame your party doesn't have any more integrity than that. I told you so..
Well in fairness, neither Party does. But Trump really must be spooking the hell out of the powers-that-be. They're so willing to hand the Election to the Democrats. Pretty bizarre stuff.
The GOP leadership thinks Hillary would be a better president than T-rump. It's that simple.
