Well, Donald's re-reading "The Art of the Deal" just to sharpen up, so a 2nd ballot shouldn't bother him at all. After all, nobody can negotiate like Donald, -----or so we're told.

I’m so sick of this crap. This election has been nothing but a stop trump election. It’s never been about the American people. Fine. If the GOP doesn’t care about the Trump voters who helped him win key states and the entire south, then I guess they votes won’t be needing our votes in the general election either. Sick of playing games. Sick of corruption. Sick of the law applying to some and not others. I hate what they’ve done to my country. I hate them all.

"If any of the delegates pledged to Trump bail after the first vote, they are stealing the election from Trump.",

and just why is that? The rules REQUIRE a MAJORITY of delegates, that rule has been in place for 160 years, this will be the 41st GOP convention with that rule.

The Minority will NOT dictate to the majority.

Easy now,

Trump will have 1100-1300 delegates, next closest is Cruz with 700-800, GoPe is not suicidal, Trump wins on the first ballot, they pick the VP., Cruz is out. Guaranteed.

And in the process they would take several million Republican voters with them making Hillary the next CiC. Of course that seems to be the RNC plan anyway.

I will have to figure out how to do a write in vote.<<

Clue: It’s usually done with a pencil.

(lol, just being silly...dunno what the method is on a machine, either as I’m used to paper ballots)

A million would be on the small side. If they come out of the Convention with anyone other than the front runner as the nominee, every single bit of oxygen will be sucked out of the Republican Party immediately. You would never hear or see another thing about whoever the candidate would be. All Hillary would have to do is stay out of jail and they would name her president by 7:30 on Election Night.

“I’m so sick of this crap. This election has been nothing but a stop trump election.”

Just like every other nomination. Remember “Stop Romney” in 2012? And “Stop McCain” (lead by Romney) in 2008? Difference is that Trump is not nearly so close to clinching the nomination as were McCain and Romney at this point. So Stop Trump has a much higher chance of succeeding.

Hugh Hewitt said this week he believes Cruz will win the nomination at a contested convention.

Unless the RNC changes the rules.

What really worries me is the high number of people who hate Trump and say they won’t vote for him. I know some of these people, they are as adamant about not voting for him as his tribe is that they will.

And with such a weak class of Ds this season. If we lose to them we will deserve what he get, for being for fractured. That is really going to suck.

At least I live in Texas. That evil bitch is going to have a hell of a time getting all our guns if she gets elected. Yeah, we’ll pay a heavy price, but we’ll still be armed.

Good thing there won’t be a second ballot.

Course, if there was, about 400 Cruz delegates would bail on him.
