Here are the new Republican Convention 2016 Rules:
1. Presidential nominees must have the formal endorsement of at least ten solid GOPe hacks to ensure party camaraderie and faithfulness.
2. Presidential nominees must accept no less than 50 million dollars in campaign contributions to ensure his complete cooperation.
3. Presidential nominees must swear to forget, ignore, or pardon all prior inhabitants of the White Hut for their treasonous and/or criminal actions.
4. Presidential nominees must agree to embrace the VP that is vomited at them.
5. Presidential nominee must agree to ‘stand-down’ if it is decided that Hilary’s Coronation is overdue.

Most importantly: The rules that are in place are only legally binding until we decide to change them to suit our needs.
That’s some list.
I still think Trump is on his path to 1237 before or after June 7 and before the convention.
I enjoy watching the smart, in-the-know punditry and advisor class being exposed as naked emperors. It’s not their republic, it’s ours.
But I retain a smidgen of skepticism that things will “go the way they are supposed to.”
