Trump has to Win Twice-Say What? Vanity

So let me see if I understand this correctly. The people of Mass vote for Trump in a LARGE victory. However, it really doesn't matter because the "delegates" do not have to honor the will of the people.

Wow... just wow.

No, that is not the case. Only some of the delegates were chosen in the primary. Others will be chosen in the district caucuses. It is the same for ALL candidates in Massghanistan (and in some other states as well).

How does the delegate picking work in MA? In IA you had to be registered to go to state convention weeks ago. Can anyone still sign up?

It says, “ We must ensure that Mr. Trump receives the delegates he earned in Massachusetts”

I believe it is 9 delegates.. He earned all 9 on March 1st.

WTF!

Just checked, any person registered as a Republican before Feb 10, 2016 can go to the district caucus and ether vote or run for the Convention delegates. They don’t seem to be at very big places so it seems they are not expecting a lot of people.

It says you have to be registered republican as of 2/10/16...

This is sickening! Why in the hell does one have to convince some person to HONOR the will of the people?

Mark Twain was right... If voting truly mattered, they would not let us do it.

He has to win the voters and he has to win the heart/mind of delegates picked by the party

Delegates picked by the party could override the will of the people

He has to win the voters and he has to win the heart/mind of delegates picked by the party

Again, he has win twice. What a shame.

It’s just the way that Massachusetts does primaries. Nothing strange or nefarious about it. Some states have primaries, some have caucuses. Massachusetts is a little bi-polar or something and couldn’t make up it’s mind which type they wanted, so they have both. Half the delegates are chosen via primary, and half via caucuses.

No Trump won 22 delegates.

Kasich & Rubio won 8 each

Cruz won 4

See this

Sounds like it will be deciding who the delegates are, not how they will vote in the first round. So it sounds like it is important to ensure the delegate that will support Trump regardless of the number of rounds take place at the convention that they stick with Trump and not go over to someone else. That is what it sounds like to me at least.

I think you’ve got it right.

Finally, I was due, LOL.

Bunch of crap. In 2012, Romney didn’t have to do this. Did McCain? Reagan? Bush? What a crock this primary is. The GOPe is such a bitter organization.

Please add me to the ping list. I have never voted for anyone who was not a Republican for POTUS, but the behavior of the RNC and the GOPe toward DJT has made me realize that they will subjugate the will of the people and the future of the United States to maintain their own power. I can think of NO ONE who is less deserving of being elected POTUS than Hillary. Scalia’s death made it even more imperative that she not be in a position to change the balance of the Supreme Court. That these people would even contemplate doing anything that would make this terrifying prospect easier is incomprehensible to me!!

The backstabber Romney and his toad, the Governor Baker,
have set this up to allow the Bishop to STEAL what
he cannot win. Thieves, they are.

You are soooo right! Again, WTF! My confidence is in a man who is self-made. AND no one is more self-made than Trump. I believe is extremely aware on this steal and will have the necessary ammunition to combat the GOP.

Hopefully the RNC convention this year will be the last RNC convention ever.
