Trump is messing with the whole globalist world view. They have oppressed opposition to their game with money, hate and power. Trump may stomp all over it. He’s an American-American.

I am not a Trump supporter. But if he is pushed out of the nomination by GOPe games, I will not vote for whatever puppet they put up.

It is revealing that they have chosen suicide in this way.

The GOPe needs to lose its mask and join the traitorous, bigoted, racist, neo-fascist, commie democrat party. Then we sharpen our weapons and proceed from there to bring the whole thing down on their heads.

“”It’s completely counterproductive if it looks like Republican power-brokers are trying to orchestrate this,” said former Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), who is supporting Bush for president.”

In other words, it’s only counterproductive if they get caught.

They’re still FLAILING.

“A spokesperson for Chris Christie’s campaign declined to weigh in...”

Must be following orders - I can’t see Christie ‘weighing in’ on anything.

If the GOPe attempts this treasonous stunt at the Convention, then the conservatives need to riot, and bust heads.

If these power-crazed establishment fools want to go “scorched earth,” then we conservatives will burn them to ashes as well.

So, go ahead, establishment GOP ... I triple dog dare you to play war ... Because I guarandamntee that we will make you regret it. We will destroy the liberal heresy of the establishment ... And you feckless cowards will go up in flames with it. Your Grand Old Party of political hacks and has-beens will come to an abrupt end. That is a promise.

I’m hoping that Trump’s people are handing out voter registration forms at his rallies. He should start selling the idea that he needs each attendee to bring their friends and family to the polls and to volunteer to be poll watches. Together they will win the nomination so the GOP doesn’t have to worry about a brokered convention.

If no one has a majority then there will be no choice except a brokered convention.

I believe NC is one, but the situation is fluid.

Thank you for the post. So we have a Romney guy and a representative from the Rubio and Bush campaigns. This does not pass the smell test.

Story is from April. NC primary will be March 15, earliest date for winner-take-all.

The thing the elitists simply cannot understand because of their arrogance is that there is no honor among thieves (themselves and orgs)so anything they meet and talk about is going to get out to the public. Their arrogance makes them foolish.

The agreement is a two way street, they have to treat him honorably...if they do not the contract is void.

his candidacy could sink Republican hopes of holding the Senate

What do they want with a Senate majority? All they have done so far is up the cost of the protection racket they are running against the taxpayers.

What is going to sink their Senate majority is that the rank and file republican voters have concluded that they cannot be trusted with a republican majority.
