Thanks Lonsberry, for explaining the convention rules. That being said, if Trump does not get the nomination and Hillary is not defeated in November, we will witness the destruction (or demolition) of the Republican Party as we know it. If Trump is not the nominee, we will have the duplicitous accusations of Rubio, Cruz, Kasich, Romney, et. al, for the potential demise of the leader of the pack. Along with his Republican "teammates", he could also thank the media, Move On.org, BLM and others who are out to do him in. The bottom line is that if we all don't stand together...Well, you know how the rest of it goes. And it won't be pretty.

Nope.
They DID NOT follow the rules fair and square.
You do not get to tar and feather a candidate with hundreds of millions of dollars and the media arm of the RNC and then tell me it was a fair fight.

Then have candidates openly violating the promise to support the nominee. The lies never end.

I’m not an idiot.

Mitt Romney is responsible for the destruction of the bench and the alienation and loss of Trump supporters should he be denied the nomination.

He has also been campaigning for Kasich and Rubio after outright attacking Trump and trying vote shenanigans.

Like father, like son.

Good post.

We Stand With Donald!

Suggestion:

At Trump Rallies, why not sing the final verse (4th) of the Star Spangled Banner-the one that answers the query in the earlier verses. Nothing is more inspirational & patriotic:

Oh thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a Nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: In God is our trust.
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

If Trump does not get the nomination, then I hope he’ll run as an Independent. He will have my vote. At one time I considered it but now I will not vote for Rubio, Cruz, Kasich or Romney.

They can’t (successfully) break rules at the conventions.

But they are going as far as possible before the convention in order to ensure they have a contested convention. With their favored candidate they’d be trying to wrap it up with a majority as soon as possible to keep from hurting the eventual nominee. Depending on who is doing what, this is just as bad as breaking rules at the convention.

Some people are trying to get us to accept “contested convention” and not call it a “brokered convention” (I prefer “divisive convention”). If it happens there WILL be back room deals, promises, and threats. Just because they call it “contested” doesn’t mean the same people working hard to ensure a “divisive convention” now won’t be working just as hard off camera at the convention to make sure Trump doesn’t become the nominee while they try to pretend it isn’t brokered with on camera “voting”.

In some ways this is necessary. 1000s of delegates with lots of passion will need leadership to come to an agreement that everyone can support. The question is whether the leadership helps the delegates agree on the will of the people or the will of the “leaders”. At this point I don’t see any way the will of the people will be a goal that the leaders help the delegates achieve.

The Trump crowd is about 35 percent of the party. He’s the only Republican candidate who polls as losing to Hillary and the candidate with the highest negatives.

Hillary’s slogan against Trump could be , “Not as unacceptable as the other person.”

The eGOP will cease to exist as an effective party after this election.

They will try to play their games, Trump will go third party, and no Senator or Representative will be electable running as eGOP.

Hey Bob, news flash: It’s felt pretty filthy being a Republican for a long time.

now conservatives and patriots are finding that their party hates them as well.

We've known that for a long time.
