Greasing the Skids

The Republican Party in Colorado has pulled a fast one ... disenfranchising the GOP voters there from having a say in selecting their delegates to the GOP presidential convention in Cleveland, Ohio in July. In a series of sly establishment moves, they have awarded all 36 Colorado delegates to this convention to Ted Cruz ... and Donald Trump is furious as a consequence ... see: Denver Post Story.

These types of delegate stealing tactics are being attempted across the country ... South Carolina, Tennessee and Missouri ... to make Cruz delegate richer at the expense of Trump. This is the Republican establishment fighting back under the assumption that a Trump candidacy would cost it the White House and at least one house of Congress. Whether this is the case or not is disputable but is what rationale is being forwarded for these hard-ball actions on the part of the Republican National Committee.

And, while Cruz is basking in this current RNC attention ... thinking that it is greasing the skids for him, he might be surprised, come convention time, when he is jettisoned in favor of a more establishment candidate like Kasich or even a parachuted-in Paul Ryan.

Performing this way on the part of the GOP runs the risk of causing many of its voters to stay home in November ... which creates a possible lose-lose situation if Donal Trump is denied the nomination. But would I vote for Cruz? Yes, if for no other reason than whom he would appoint to the Supreme Court. Would I vote for Kasich? Yes, he might even return us to fiscal sanity. Yes, Trump for his immigration stands. I would even hold my nose and vote for Ryan if it comes down to that. Anyone but Hellery.

Afterthought: The Republicans are Boy Scouts in the nomination process for their candidate when compared to the Democrats.

Unspecified Religion

Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a Kuwaiti-born radical gunman of some unspecified religion, shot and killed four Marines and wounded another Marine, a police officer and a Navy sailor in Chattanooga, Tennessee yesterday ... see: CBS News Story. The shooter of some unspecified religion was also killed. The shooting first started at a recruiting center on Old [redacted] Highway in Chattanooga and culminated at a Navy and Marine Support Center about seven miles away where this shooter of some unspecified religion also died. It is suspected that Muhammad was a "lone wolf" who had be radicalized by some unspecified religion, possibly the Mormons or Seventh Day Adventists.

In a statement President Obama decried this terrible loss of life by this gunman of some unspecified religion, After this short announcement, an unnamed reporter purportedly heard Obama lament to himself, "He could have been my son."
