Today we have primaries in four states:
Hawaii caucus, 19 delegates, open to all Hawaii voters with photo i.d., who fill out a Republican Party card at the door. If you want to understand the method for delegate awards, it is explained here:
Click to access Rules-of-the-Republican-Party-of-Hawaii-As-of-May-3-2015.pdf
Idaho primary, 32 delegates [23 at-large, 6 congressional district, 3 automatic], candidate must have at least 20% of the vote to earn delegates, closed. Excellent explanation of Idaho (and other) primary process.
Michigan primary, 59 delegates, candidate must have at least 15% of the vote to earn delegates. If a candidate earns more than 50% of the votes, he earns all of the delegates. Michigan is an open primary; your choice of party ballot takes place on primary day, but only one party may be voted.
Mississippi primary, 40 delegates, candidate must have at least 15% of the vote to earn delegates. There’s not a threshold in the congressional districts and if a candidate gets over 50 percent of the vote in a district, he or she gets all the delegates from that district. Open.
Real Clear Politics has a good summary of the Republican Party primaries/caucuses: RCP Republican Primaries.

To even begin ever fixing the wrongs, after the border and illegals that is, is to clean house and get rid of all these federal employees who have been working behind the scenes.
My Dad had this friend years ago who bought a struggling business, he told the story of how he came in with plans to just let a few bad apples go but after about two days he figured out they were all bad apples and handed out pink slips to every single one.
Well I think a businessman would find all rotten apples if he ran the government like a business.

I didn’t vote for Romney, first time ever not voting, in 2012, because I always knew he didn’t want to win, and also because I always knew that “the fix was in”, again.
I didn’t vote for Trump today because I knew he would win Michigan.
There was no question.
