He is exposing corruption...you are just supporting it with what you say. I think you may close your eyes to your avatar...before bedtime for sweet dreams.
He is the only candidate not bought. If you have not seen that yet you are simply trolling...that's cool also. People with no life need something to do. I am sure you will relax tonight in your NYC condo, a beautiful young wife discussing your day and then you will...oh, thats right. That is Trump, not you. Stop hating and look at the big picture....
Seems to me that calling him a fool is well, how shall I put this... foolish.
Like all great business men, I think this will end up as a win / win for Trump and along the way we have the added benefit of the political system being revealed for what it is to millions that were in the dark.

It's a bit pointless trying to educate the Trump haters. I suspect they are on handouts and are afraid their free money is going to be taken away and they will have to work. It's the only thing I can think of to explain the vitriol.

I do not deny any of the things you listed, but this is an interesting statement:

Not knowing the rules of the game you are about to play before entering the game is foolish. As I said before, Trump has embraced the fools bet.
If you do not know what you are doing before you enter a race/place a bet, you are a fool.
Like all great business men, I think this will end up as a win / win for Trump and along the way we have the added benefit of the political system being revealed for what it is to millions that were in the dark.
Great businessmen never fail? Well, it appears that a fool playing the fool's bet is being supported by fools that will do whatever they can to be the fool's stooge.
Have fun with that.

Of course that is the only thing you can think of. That's the propaganda you swim in.
Doesn't surprise me that the depths are shallow.

I could not disagree more. You can't beat a system you're entirely ignorant about.
Well, it could happen, but the ignorance isn't a positive. If he wins, it'll be in spite of his inability to put together a team of pros who know how it all works, and listen to them.
Exactly. What happened in Colorado is indicative of his lack of knowledge on the process. And when he drops the ball big time, he blames Cruz and the process he has agreed to participate in. Hell, like I said earlier, he is benefiting from their rules so far.

I don't see a candidate running that can fix the mess we are in (and I mean that globally), but I am hopeful that we're on the verge of stopping this madness and at least create the environment to begin healing it.
He is not whining. He is making a point.

22% of what? 743?
What does that equate to in real live delegates?
Thank you for your note. Go ahead and burn the party down if that is what it takes to put this country on the right track then I am open to anything. What happened over the weekend was simple and had no manipulation or underhanded process in it.The Cruz campaign worked harder than anyone else over a longer period of time, using the process that we have to create a victory for him. He came to Colorado, and was the only candidate who did, gave a great speech and won. I would have been perfectly okay with the result being for Mr. Trump had he and his team done the same thing. I will support whoever wins without hesitation but blaming other people when you don’t get what you want is only relevant if you did the work honestly and someone manipulated the process. That didn’t happen here. I think people are upset right now because they either don’t like the process or don’t understand it. I am one of the people who doesn’t like it. It’s complicated and many don’t understand why we don’t just have a national primary across all 50 states in about June, pick the winner and go after the democrats in the general election. There are complications to that as well but it comes down to states rights on how we pick candidate. We should have a presidential primary here but the legislature eliminated it in 2002 because it costs to much and that is a limited government move. Up until this year no one cared. We will put a presidential primary back into our law before this year is over. Lastly, the one thing I do not get from the Trump supporters who are mad at me right now is why so many believe he isn’t going to win. I think Mr. Trump has woken America up and we should be thankful for that. But why do you think he isn’t going to win. He has a big lead, the easiest path to the nomination, a lead in critical states like NY and California etc. Channel you energy into getting your guy elected and in the end if really manipulation happens I will be there to light the match for you.

Yes, a good letter. This was the most important part:

That is exactly what I have been saying.
Trump didn't expose anything, except to those that were ignorant in the first place. So we should thank Trump for being the hero of fools and exposing part of the process they should have been privy to from the start.
He also points out that Trump and his supporters should not be blaming anyone for their own ignorance. That is dishonest and lacks integrity.
Thanks for posting this. It's nice to have some confirmation that people within the GOP can see the obvious.
I posted the letter in full as I think it important to get the full text - some are more honest that other it seems
Do you now see what can be accomplished if you speak out instead of going home and hiding?! Bravo Donald J Trump

Indeed. Some are not honest enough to simply digest the idea that what I have been saying all along has been mirrored by content you posted. Quite sad, really.

Yes, Bravo! Way to shine a light on an issue by blaming others and being completely ignorant.
I'm actually beginning to like Trump. It doesn't require thought, personal responsibility or integrity to be a supporter. All you have to do is show blind devotion and you're all set.

Fair enough.
The real issue, and the topic of the OP, was that despite Trump complaining about the system in Colorado, he is actually benefiting from the rules of the GOP nomination process.
