Hey guys,
In earlier posts I have talked about dirty politics. This will be a continuation post.
In the primaries right now, there are two viable candidates for both the Republican and Democrat parties. Many people are trying to prove one candidate is better than the other. This is how politics is designed to work.
In the republican priamary, There are three candidates left: Trump, Cruz, and Kasich. But there are only two viable candidates. With the number of delegates left, Kasich is mathematically eliminated. He cannot garner enough votes to get the nomination. So there are two possible reasons why he is staying in. Either he has been promised VP by trump, Kasich will steal votes from Cruz, or he is hoping to steal the election in a contested convention.
I am not entirely sure how a contested convention works. I have researched it but still dont quite understand it. The main thing that I have seen is that the RNC can just up and change the rules of the convention. Therefore they can set it up to pick the candidate that the establishment wants.
This is similar underhandness of the democrat party with their super delegate scheme.
Something in politics has to change. And whether you agree with it or not, Sander and Trump are making waves within the Democrat and Republican party respectively.
Hope this was interesting!

good points here - I think this election cycle has definitely brought up a TON of things that are wrong with how our process works. Hopefully some of these will change as a result...
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting to think about. I agree with Scott, hopefully changes will be made because the process of how it works seems off.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the same people are still in control, nothing will change. I cant see it changing in the near future. I hope that I am wrong.
