[[You’re so far behind the curve. Contested conventions are not good for the party that experiences them, in general.]]

Lol yeah- they just fall all to pieces afterwards- whatever- I’m not the one ‘behind the curve’

[[Like I said, it’s something party’s try to avoid.]]

Like i said- it’s something parties also survive just fine- you are over reacting-

You keep saying that, but what's really happening is that you're whistling past the graveyard.

It's overwhelmingly the opinion of GOP voters that there should be no contested convention this cycle. That's why they're collectively taking steps to ensure that.

Contested conventions occur when there are two candidates with very close delegate totals, such as in 1976, the most recent GOP contested convention (40 years ago).

That is not the case this time. As Newt Gingrich has pointed out, Ted Cruz's talk of winning a contested convention is sheer fantasy.

It simply will not realistically occur. Thus it is Cruz who is over-reacting to the mathematical realities at play. He looks more clownish with each move of the goal posts.

Vote Trump
