One of the most pressing issues facing our nation - dealing with an out-of-control central government - has been essentially placed on hold during this election campaign. Traditionally a core issue in Republican politics, the candidates for Republican presidential nominee, particularly the final three, have had no opportunity to debate this issue.
And even major campaign issues such as national security, that have been discussed and debated, have been set aside in the last couple of weeks so we can debate democracy in the delegate selection process of party politics. This issue was raised by Donald Trump after the Ted Cruz campaign won all the delegates in the Colorado caucuses. To clarify, in its usage here, what is being debated is not "democracy," rather it is "citizen participation in the delegate process," or the lack of it.
