Conversely, who do you think wins the money battle? There is a clue.

The RNC/GOP may find they have sparked a new phenomenon if they pull something funny to deny Trump the nomination:

Kamikaze Voter

Every Democrat in every election for every office until there is no more GOP.

Then the citizens might get some representation.

Currently the RNC/GOP only exists to block the citizens from stopping The Cheap Labor Express

Talk about tin-foil hat level speculation.

If money could buy elections and delegates Jeb Bush would already be the nominee.

Trump is fading, so the faithful are preparing their backup stories about the Dark Forces arrayed against Donnie the Pure.

I have already got to the point that it is Trump or nothing. I will write in Trump’s name if it comes to that.

This was first tried by the Democrat campaign of Samuel L. Tilden in 1876 and because the Republican weenies caved than we got an end to Reconstruction and the start of Jim Crow and the KKK under the reign of Democrat terrorists.

For those who believe Trump’s wealth is a “problem”

I’d respectfully remind folks that, with just a few exceptions, the men who crafted and signed the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were near the TOP OF THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SCALE for their time!

Like Trump, nearly all were motivated by their desire for FREEDOM from a despotic tyrant. Most of them paid DEARLY for their rebellion. Near the end of his life, Jefferson’s absence from his beloved Monticello caused his finances to be so damaged that Congress offered to purchase his magnificent and extensive library. That purchase was the nucleus for today’s Library of Congress.

If you do not know the history of the prices paid by those architects of the freedoms we today take for granted – and are in the process of allowing to be taken away by the tyrants of today – their stories are at the link below. Please take the time to review them!

As the authors of this site comment, some of these stories may or may not be completely accurate. That said, it’s safe to say that their lives would have been far less difficult if they had – to use the language of many of the tyrants now infesting the Beltway and other power centers in 2016 – simply “Gone along to Get along”. And we’d probably STILL be singing “Hail to the Queen”.

Trump has some billionaire allies that have considerable resources.

What we need is a delegate who is smart enough to set the bastards up and audio and video record their criminal bribe and then go public with the proof.

Trump could afford to give every delegate a 1 week vacation at one of his resorts then transportation to the convention.

Unless the rules are changed for this convention, Trump delegates are bound to vote for Trump in the first round and cannot break that commitment. If they vote otherwise, they are removed from the convention, and their votes are recorded as if they voted according to how they were bound.

[I’m not looking it up, but I believe that is Rule 16.]

If Trump has a first round win, it cannot be stopped. If Trump does not have a first round win, many delegates are still bound to him on a fixed number of subsequent ballots - the number of ballots determined by their state and enforced as described above by party rules at the convention.

My impression is that Trump is so far doing poorly on delegate loyalty and on recruiting unbound delegates. He is also doing poorly on attracting delegates to support him once they are unbound. Unbound delegates could be bribed by either side, as could bound delegates for votes after they are no longer bound. By tradition, those bribes are offered as patronage jobs. A candidate’s staff would not want to be caught offering cash to someone who rejected him and exposed the tactic.

Those $400.00 toilet seats may be how they hide spending for black ops projects.
