This is just the same as federal judges making laws outside of their jurisdiction. The election system is flawed and it has been from the beginning of the party system. We the people have no say in who leads us, the elections are just to appease the masses If elections made any difference they'd make them illegal

Trump being the Republican nominee would be like Ted Nugent getting elected head of PETA.Last edited by GarGuy; 04-21-2016, 06:41 PM.

The upper class rule when the PEOPLE quit voting in House and Senate election primaries. THAT is where change is effected. not the general election.

I am saying that a large percentage of the population don't have a clue about what is best for the nation as a whole. The President shouldn't be concerned with your well being outside of what the Constitution mandates as his job is.... to faithfully execute the office and the uphold and defend the Constitution. His job is to lead the NATION....not you the individual. That falls to the States. That's why the founders never intended for you or I to directly elect him.
Think about it, for most people voting for President would be like me voting for who has the best ideas on how to colonize Mars. I simply don't have the background info to make an informed decision, yet if we voted on it, my vote would cancel out the most renowned astrophysicist's. Most people don't have the knowledge on who has the best ideas/plans for running the country. You don't have to like the concept but that's the way it is.
The people's voice in the Federal government was intended to be the House. The States voice was in the Senate (at least until the 17th amendment came along and screwed all that up). The Constitution doesn't mandate how the Presidential election is to be ran, only that the states are in charge of the process in their state. It doesn't mention parties but they have been running it since the 1790's.
I figured my post would tick some of you off and that's alright. I just think most people don't understand the system and the process of our government in general. Can you guys imagine a government WITHOUT two parties....nothing would get done and you would have to amend the Constitution to base things on plurality instead of majority votes.
Our system isn't perfect but it is the best that has ever been devised.....and I never said anything about upper class.

I find it hilariously funny that people don't seem to "get it".... Trump may well be winning by less than a majority, but he is winning by a large margin over CRUZ... Who has even less people who voted for him...
And no matter how the Cruz fans want to spin it... Less people voted for him than voted for Trump...
