Caww,
What you are saying is that it’s OK for
the #2 candidate to steal the #1 candidate’s delegates,
in a state where
winner takes all,
the #1 candidate got all counties except one,
the delegates are bound to the #1 candidate.
Not in my book it ain’t.

These people Need to stand up and speak out right away
“I’m just thinking out loud here.”
Me too. I think your B scenario has merit.
...Trump’s campaign plan is obviously to ‘delegitimize the election process’ because he’s failed ...
************************************
Good overall posting.
What TRUMP has accomplished, besides smoking the field and taking an obvious majority of earned delegates, he has exposed you as well as your serpentine criminal creepy guy, who is only enabled to pull this crap, by agreeing to be the mule for the Establishment.
You supporting the subversion of the free and fair election results of the people for TRUMP, by calling it an “effective” ground game, should be soul emptied ashamed of yourself.
This is not about your love of Cartel Cruz, or even hatred of TRUMP. Your vile new philosophy has rocketed off into hating the American people who have already picked their nominee.
If your guy can not win, then call in the Gestapo to frame the American voter, as if they were really supporting your snake handler. That is not a clean win, nor a moral victory.
Don’t ever quote that Scripture on calling EVIL good. Freepers will find you personally contemptible in doing so.
Why is this woman whining like Trump?
I read yesterday that the Florida delegates are bounded to vote for Trump through the first THREE ballots.

Because the delegates vote on the rules before the convention. Ted’s planning to change the rules even if Trump his the numbers he needs.
Look up the definition of majority. Trump DOESN’T HAVE IT in delegates or votes, PERIOD.
No delegates can be “stolen.” They are free agents after the law stops binding them to the state’s popular vote, usually after the first ballot. That’s all the popular vote is supposed to give the winner, and no one has taken that away.
The delegates HAVE to change their vote on the second ballot when no majority is reached, or no majority will EVER be reached. The delegate selection process is its own process, which Trump has as much ability to influence as any other candidate.
I don’t know what Drudge is pulling here but something pretty fishy by using an article written last Aug.

She’s right that your votes don’t count toward selecting the delegates in FL. Who ever said they did? Change your system to PA’s system where we vote on the delegates by name ourselves if you want that. It’s up to your state to do so.
Drudge is a useless site now, a total shilling, in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign. He pushes lies and smears against Cruz.
“Because the delegates vote on the rules before the convention. Ted’s planning to change the rules even if Trump his the numbers he needs.”
If Trump has the greatest number of delegates, and it is the delegates that vote on the rules, how will Cruz be the one changing the rules?
And I’m pretty sure that the Florida delegates are bound by STATE party rules to vote for Trump on the first three ballots - nothing decided on the national level can change that. (Well, unless they make up some rule that says after the first ballot they will skip ballots No. 2 and No. 3 and just move onto No. 4!)
An aside. I was looking at the convention where Lincoln was nominated on the third ballot “corrected”. On the third ballot he was down by two votes, but then three people changed their vote, and then a bunch more changed to be on the winning side. Not sure why they didn’t just call for a fourth ballot!?
There’s no theft. They are still bound to vote with the state voting results in any state that has that as its rule for as many ballots as the state requires.
You support a thief and a snake. You excuse subversion and call it process, ground game and organization.
One man, one vote, is a myth.
These fine pitch fork (holy rollers I presume) types are lying to become delegates in the first place.
Based on their lies and their promises of requested outcomes after multiple votes they are cheerfully selected by councils, committees and chairman who owe their own positions to the GOPEE, same as it works in DC.
TRUMP has exposed Cruz, the GOPEE, and the geese out there who are rigging the votes, the ballots and the convention Rules.
Be happy. You have possibly collapsed us, or brought a civil war if you dare succeed.

Hostage, your posts are illustrating something extremely troubling.
We are seeing the disenfranchisement of a million voters.
That’s how many voted for Trump in Florida:

One. Million. Voters.
Pinging out...
Bump!
Sorry, but what does your post have to do with what I wrote? It is late and my brain is ready for sleep.
