The republican primaries are not rigged. The previous elites of the party didn't want Trump in 2016. Republican voters, however, did.
Americans really love to twist themselves in knots to excuse their own laziness with respect to politics. "Oh look at how dysfunctional the government is, but there's nothing we can do about it."
2016 pretty clearly made it clear that at the end of the day, its the people of the US who hold power in their country.

- ReflectedImage 3y agoIt was known that Trump would win before the primaries started. Therefore how could it have been fair? Mate the odds at that time were ridiculous. Don't think people in the betting industry don't know this stuff.

- akhosravian 3y agoI don’t think your take is wrong, but using Trump (who became President despite losing the popular vote in 2016) as an example of how citizens hold the power is an amusing way to express that sentiment.
