The reality is ‘He’s right’. Like it or not the party selects the nominee, the rules committee writes the rules every four years, during the convention. They may write any rule they want and can get passed in committee, that’s how they prevented Ron Paul from being a factor at the convention against McCain. They can send Trump packing anytime they want!!!
The end result of a political assassination, would probably be the end of the party, yet parties come and go all over the world, why should the USA be any different.
The Whigs went belly up in 1852 because it would not condemn slavery, along came the Republican party eight years latter with Lincoln.

This is the mentality of both parties: the People are nothing more than an annoyance.

I recommend Trump run an independent campaign if the GOPe steal the nomination. Trump should also make Cruz his running mate.

Bernie Sanders should also independently run. The Democrats have rigged the game so that Hillary wins no matter what the Democratic voters say.

Let's have Trump-GOPe-Clinton-Sanders race and have the People sort it out.

It truly is sad how the elites in both major Parties are willing to sacrifice not only the election, but the future of America in order to retain their toxic hold onto the upper echelons of government.

If Hillary wins, everybody loses — including the dwindling middle class Democrats.

The economy will continue to shrink. The very rich will not be bothered much, but the middle class will be pushed into the ranks of the poor, ignorant — and dependent, which is the entire idea.

Terrorism will increase on our soil and we will be challenged overseas — particularly by the Russians, Chinese, North Koreans and Iranians.

Further, the electorate will be made more ignorant and our culture will be more debased.

So those who say perhaps America needs a third consecutive term for the Democrats as a form of a wake-up call need to bear this in mind.

This next election may be recorded as an irrevocable turning point toward Third World status once-and-for-all.

Isn’t Sanders already an Independent?

Maybe it is time to post these delegates’ personal contact information on the internet.

If the leaders go against the voters, regardless of who has the most delegates, will destroy the GOP. I will personally burn my registration card in front of the party headquarters.

I will vote for Hillary if the GOP pulls a fast one.
