How is it shameful and Un American Republicans to vote for hillary in texas when?

Question

Democrats did the same thing in New Hampsire for John MCcain? How come that is not shameful tell me and Un American. If they can select our nominee why can't we select there's.

Answer 1

Are you kidding me? What makes you think "we" select anything?



Unless, of course, you are a "delegate" or "superdelegate".



How comical is it that we vote to tell the delegates whom to vote for, except for the superdelegates who can vote for whomever they want regardless of popular opinion.



That's "democracy"???



We need to go to a straight popular vote, with the top vote-getter getting the nomination, period. Cut out the middle men(delegates) and the shady side-men (superdelegates).



And in the fall, cut out the electoral college altogether, and the top vote getter is Pres, and the second place is VP, regardless of party. Thing that might make the parties work together better than they do now???

Answer 2

Let's not forget Michigan. In a Democrat heavy state, the number of votes for Republicans exceeded votes for Democrats by a wide margin, because the DNC made voting Democrat a waste of time.



How many Democrats and independents voted for McCain in Michigan?



This is why there should only be closed primaries.

Answer 3

it extremely is obtainable, yet that race were tight for the previous few weeks, and it got here out very tight. yet on the Republican edge Huckabee grew to become into making strides to seize as much as McCain in Texas and grew to become into unable come close to to the polling documents. So if some Republicans did vote interior the Democratic regular, then many extra Democrats and Independents voted or McCain to offset the effect of evangelicals, which BTW voted for McCain extra suitable than they have been predicted to. So in all probability not many Republicans voted for Hillary.

Answer 4

It isn't. McCain is pretty much a lock if he isn't already. There is no one for a republican to vote for in the primaries now. In order to get you will done, you want your guy to be in a strong a position as possible, and you want the other guy to be in a weak a position as possible. The rules (in some states) allow you to vote across party lines, I see no ethical violation here. There's nothing wrong with that.

Answer 5

I think it's shameful because John McCain had pretty clearly been the Republican nominee since late January and the Democrats still don't have a clear nominee. Messing with democracy is pretty unAmerican.

Answer 6

We need Hillary around for the entertainment value no shame with it a laugh is a laugh.

Answer 7

Doing it either way is childish.



It's America, everyone gets an opinion, but I sure as hell would trust anyone to follow the rules and not do that- everyone is "good" to a certain point, but not it politics.

Answer 8

Any state's party that has an open primary is at risk for this. They know that it's a double edged sword.

Answer 9

If it is wrong ... why is it legal? They have to vote to have open primaries ... what is the object of an open primary if you aren't supposed to cross over?

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Answer 10

more republicans in texas voted for Obama than Hillary so I guess your point is pretty moot.

Answer 11

LOL! That must be why you 'conservatives' keep voting in LIBERALS!

Answer 12

It's your vote to do what you want.

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 15

Answer 16
