坚定不移的反对现有的system。恰到好处的揭露Lyin` Ted的虚伪。把这次CO的选举作
弊狠狠敲打一下。
http://www.wsj.com/articles/let-me-ask-america-a-question-14606
On Saturday, April 9, Colorado had an “election” without voters. Delegates
were chosen on behalf of a presidential nominee, yet the people of Colorado
were not able to cast their ballots to say which nominee they preferred.
A planned vote had been canceled. And one million Republicans in Colorado
were sidelined.
In recent days, something all too predictable has happened: Politicians
furiously defended the system. “These are the rules,” we were told over
and over again. If the “rules” can be used to block Coloradans from voting
on whether they want better trade deals, or stronger borders, or an end to
special-interest vote-buying in Congress—well, that’s just the system and
we should embrace it.
Let me ask America a question: How has the “system” been working out for
you and your family?
I, for one, am not interested in defending a system that for decades has
served the interest of political parties at the expense of the people.
Members of the club—the consultants, the pollsters, the politicians, the
pundits and the special interests—grow rich and powerful while the American
people grow poorer and more isolated.
No one forced anyone to cancel the vote in Colorado. Political insiders made
a choice to cancel it. And it was the wrong choice.
Responsible leaders should be shocked by the idea that party officials can
simply cancel elections in America if they don’t like what the voters may
decide.
The only antidote to decades of ruinous rule by a small handful of elites is
a bold infusion of popular will. On every major issue affecting this
country, the people are right and the governing elite are wrong. The elites
are wrong on taxes, on the size of government, on trade, on immigration, on
foreign policy.
Why should we trust the people who have made every wrong decision to
substitute their will for America’s will in this presidential election?
Here, I part ways with Sen. Ted Cruz.
Mr. Cruz has toured the country bragging about his voterless victory in
Colorado. For a man who styles himself as a warrior against the
establishment (you wouldn’t know it from his list of donors and endorsers),
you’d think he would be demanding a vote for Coloradans. Instead, Mr. Cruz
is celebrating their disenfranchisement.
Likewise, Mr. Cruz loudly boasts every time party insiders disenfranchise
voters in a congressional district by appointing delegates who will vote the
opposite of the expressed will of the people who live in that district.
That’s because Mr. Cruz has no democratic path to the nomination. He has
been mathematically eliminated by the voters.
While I am self-funding, Mr. Cruz rakes in millions from special interests.
Yet despite his financial advantage, Mr. Cruz has won only three primaries
outside his home state and trails me by two million votes—a gap that will
soon explode even wider. Mr. Cruz loses when people actually get to cast
ballots. Voter disenfranchisement is not merely part of the Cruz strategy—
it is the Cruz strategy.
The great irony of this campaign is that the “Washington cartel” that Mr.
Cruz rails against is the very group he is relying upon in his voter-
nullification scheme.
My campaign strategy is to win with the voters. Ted Cruz’s campaign
strategy is to win despite them.
What we are seeing now is not a proper use of the rules, but a flagrant
abuse of the rules. Delegates are supposed to reflect the decisions of
voters, but the system is being rigged by party operatives with “double-
agent” delegates who reject the decision of voters.
The American people can have no faith in such a system. It must be reformed.
Just as I have said that I will reform our unfair trade, immigration and
economic policies that have also been rigged against Americans, so too will
I work closely with the chairman of the Republican National Committee and
top GOP officials to reform our election policies. Together, we will restore
the faith—and the franchise—of the American people.
We must leave no doubt that voters, not donors, choose the nominee.
How have we gotten to the point where politicians defend a rigged delegate-
selection process with more passion than they have ever defended America’s
borders?
Perhaps it is because politicians care more about securing their private
club than about securing their country.
My campaign will, of course, battle for every last delegate. We will work
within the system that exists now, while fighting to have it reformed in the
future. But we will do it the right way. My campaign will seek maximum
transparency, maximum representation and maximum voter participation.
We will run a campaign based on empowering voters, not sidelining them.
Let us take inspiration from patriotic Colorado citizens who have banded
together in protest. Let us make Colorado a rallying cry on behalf of all
the forgotten people whose desperate pleas have for decades fallen on the
deaf ears and closed eyes of our rulers in Washington, D.C.
The political insiders have had their way for a long time. Let 2016 be
remembered as the year the American people finally got theirs.
Mr. Trump is a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. |
