The analogy of the Electoral College would be this: if, after the vote takes place in November, in a few weeks the the Electoral College meets, and electors from various states cast their vote for the candidate who did not WIN that state. That's the comparison, if you wish to make it.

Of course, this is covered by the constitution which, presumably, Cruz wouldn't try to subvert the ELECTORAL COLLEGE?

And the RNC---it's a club of Elites, our own Oligarchy, and they can fool the people with impunity. It's THEIR party. What they've done wrong is PRESENTED the primaries as REAL DEMOCRATIC VOTES, which, we're learning, they are not.

Indeed. It could be something such as the revelation that the candidate was actually a felon, for instance. No elector could vote for him in good conscience.

With Trump, it is the growing realization that he’s just not Presidential material. Nor is he electable, especially given many of his very recent comments. To the small minority that are his followers (about 20% of eligible voters) he’s a great man. The rest of the country is holding its nose.

I will say, it’s an absolutely insane election year. I don’t believe there’s ever been as polarizing of a candidate as Trump.

I’ll say again, if Trump is the nominee, I’ll vote for him. There’s a decent chance he’d be better than whichever Dem, although it’s impossible to say with any certainty.
