Wile E. Coyote comes to my mind.
Doctor’s orders; Get your Priebus rinsed!
What I said a month ago.
That’s exactly right. A candidate has to WIN 8 state primaries to even be nominated at the convention.
Trump is going to go in there with at least 30 wins and no other candidate is going to get 8. Right now they’d be lucky to get 1.
But that’s good. We need Trump.

Is the rule of unintended consequences or is it one of Murphy’s Laws.
I think after March 15 its winner take all. With Trump polling in the 30’s consistently, they have all but handed it to him.
They expected it to be down to 2 or 3 nominees with the GOPe candidate clearly leading by that time. If they have 5 still running it will divide the vote in Trumps favor.
Trump has completely blown up their plan to keep power.
Macaca!
New GOP rules designed to aid Bush are aiding Trump
If I read it correctly, if Trump wins the primaries in these states, at the RNC Convention the Super Delegates can NOT go rogue and nominate another candidate? I believe they’ve had that option in the past — ignore the people’s votes, and nominate someone else. If that has been thwarted by the new rules, then... yea!!
GOPe must have something up their sleeve because there’s no way they’re going to let go of Jeb this easily. Wonder what it is.
The RNC has been paid by The Cheap Labor Express for an amnesty candidate.
They had expected that it would be over by March like the last two nominations.
Trump has disrupted their plans.
They will still try to get ¡Yeb! nominated, by whatever means they can use.
I am still a Cruz fan, but I LOVE what Trump is doing to the GOPe.
However, I must add that the GOPe brought it upon themselves by not being faithful to their base.
Being a bass-player, being faithful to the base is very important to me!
