he complains about colorado but is fine with states like florida using a winner-takes-all system?
where 55% of the voters did not vote for him but all 99 delegates were allocated to him?
some hypocrisy here
Absolutely massive hipocrasy. It's amazing that none of the candidates have spoken out on the fundamental way that elections are handled in the US. Here's an amazing video by CGP Grey on the subject.

I don't think you understand (that or your purposely misrepresenting what he said). Colorado didn't have ANYONE vote at all. Despite Annoying Orange not getting a majority vote in Florida, he still got more votes then anyone else and by quite a large margin. The public still decided who got to win in that state. When you pick a President you don't partially pick one based on what percent of the votes he gets, he either wins or loses.

im not saying that what happened in colorado was fine and dandy, of course its great misuse of the rules and shouldnt be acceptable
im just pointing out that Annoying Orange only speaks out when the rules go against him, and is perfectly fine with the (should be completely unacceptable) winner-takes-all system
there is absolutely no way that the way the people of florida got to choose their nominee is acceptable
45% of the vote, 100% of the delegates is never acceptable, please dont justify it

I don't think he ever endorsed winner takes all. I think the problem he had was that there was no vote and the delegates awarded to Cruz, who acted like he won a vote in interviews.

nah, im not saying he has endorsed winner takes all, just that if he really had a problem of the system in its entirety then he'd point out that such a system isnt right either.
but he would never do such a thing because then he'd lose the unrepresentative votes himself

well of course, literally 99.9% of politicians never do something that'd hurt themselves or their reputation
the kind of people that run for office these days aren't usually there to support the common good or whatnot

yup, the whole thing is dumb

Except he never complained about the winner take all system when he lost either like in Ohio. You're grasping at straws here.

uh no im not, i was giving florida as an example of a state with the winner-takes-all system
im saying he should be complaining about the system altogether, and he should be talking about it whether he loses or wins because of it

the fact that Annoying Orange got screwed over is bullstuff, and so are winner-take-all elections

i know the establishment republicans don't really like Annoying Orange, but i think the party's seriously shot itself in the foot now. they're probably going to lose a few more moderates because of this. i wonder if Annoying Orange would actually run third party like people say he would, esp now that this has happened

if Annoying Orange runs third party, the republican vote will be fractured between the GOP nominee and Annoying Orange
which would effectively hand the election over to the democratic nominee

not good for Annoying Orange, not good for the RNC.  Annoying Orange could do it out of spite though

typical regressive left behavior, kick and scream because they didn't get what they wanted
At least you don't see liberals seceding from the Union when anti-LGBT bills get passed.

No you just see them threaten to move to Canada if Annoying Orange gets in.

Also you completely misinterpreted what he said. He said REGRESSIVE liberals. It's easy to misinterpret as an insult but it's a slang for SJW's and Marxists who are to the extreme left and claim to be "progressive".

I'm like 99% sure that he was making a play on the word 'progressive'. If he's not talking about all liberals, he can come and clarify that himself.

Why should that bother you then? Most liberals who claim to be "progressive" are extremist nutcases who are burning their countries to the ground.
