This can happen to a citizen candidate. Why wouldn’t it?
Americans are generally astounded to now learn the same as TRUMP, that elections have nothing to do with the people or their vote.
You may win sweepingly in twice as many states as your opponent, and you may earn the vast majority of the people, and their vote, coast to coast, and you may sweep the delegates in those states that you have earned, by your great victory.
You go to a convention and your victories are meaningless, your delegates were rejected and replaced with those of your opponent and you LOSE.
The American voter has been awakened, on both sides of the aisle. They are pissed.
Nobody wants to be you. To have to make your defense for fraud is one sorry argument to have to make. Nobody wants to die on that hill that sneers at democracy.
Rota, I do believe sweepingly means something different to you and I.
Bless your heart you do try hard though.
Mr. Trump hasn’t won over 50% anywhere yet though he is likely to do so this week. He is unlikely to have over 50% in June. If he does get there he’ll have plenty of time to convince me to vote for him. If he doesn’t, well, he’ll have lost.
