How New York's new GOP delegate rules could help derail Donald Trump
The Post-Standard ^ | March 24, 2016 | Mark Weiner

A change in how GOP delegates will be selected in New York's presidential primary could aid party operatives trying to thwart the nomination of Donald Trump in a brokered Republican National Convention this summer in Cleveland.

The New York Republican State Committee approved the rules change last year, marking the first time in decades that GOP presidential candidates won't be allowed to select their own delegates from the Empire State. Instead, the state party will decide.

The new process rewards longtime party loyalists in the state - taking power away from the presidential candidates and their most fervent supporters in the April 19 primary....

Of course Cruz won’t be the nominee....neither will Trump. That’s the important thing. Trump doesn’t need to be within 100 miles of the oval office. He’s UNSTABLE.

“Ted Cruz is claiming to be a King with his father being the Prophet under their Seven Mountains Dominion Theology. Look it up.”

Hogwash!

“All this talk about whether Donald Trump is “godly” or not is so much Satanic gorilla dust to take your mind off the main thing: Your redemption draws near!”

You and your ilk keep quoting Bible verses to PROVE why everyone MUST vote for Teddy and/or WHY anyone who doesn't is a satanist, going to hell, is a COMMIE, etc.!

But now you can't take it that you're getting a more sensible Biblical quote for Trump ? LOL

If Trump were accused of being a “Christian”, do you think a jury of his peers could convict him?

You are the one who is UNSTABLE; not to mention blinded by your own irrational biases and stupid.

Just admit that you don't really care what happens to this nation.

Not “HOGWASH”....go look up what Ted’s father believes and tells audiences about his “anointed” son.

Your last sentence makes your first one completely invalid and just a pack of lies.

I doubt that you even know anything FACTUAL about Trump and you ignore FACTS about Cruz.

I agree, Seven Mountains Dominionism is hogwash, but I am not sure that is what you meant by your comment. If you don’t believe that Ted and Heidi are 7MD, then do some research.

Good to hear it, but there is more to the Redemption Plan than the First Coming. As you pointed out, it has been 2000 years, or two days in the LORDS sight. The Age of the Gentiles is almost over. He is about to deal directly with the House of Israel again.

Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return to the LORD;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
2 After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.

“This should actually help Trump since there’s no way the New York GOP would select delegates loyal to Cruz.”

From Wikipedia-

“Edward Ridley Finch Cox (born October 2, 1946) is an American politician who is currently the chairman of the New York Republican State Committee. He is the son-in-law of President Richard M. Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon. Cox is a lawyer in the Manhattan law firm of Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP where he has served as the Chairman of the Corporate Department and a member of the Management Committee.”

The Grand Old Party will stop at nothing to defeat Trump first and Cruz second.

I'm curious. Are there any other states that don't allow the candidates to pick their delegates?

Your welcome! I am praying that the FreeRepublic.com server continues to run after the Netchatef | aka Harpazo | aka Rapture, but most of the posters will be gone.

Cruz will NOT be the nominee; get over it!
If you imagine that the N.Y. hand picked GOPE delegates are going to vote for Cruz, you’re even dumber than I thought.


Yep. Cruz will not be the nom and there are no other viable candidates. At this point it’s Trump by default at the minimum. If the nom is stolen from Trump the GOP will implode all the way down the ticket to dog catcher.

Exactly right. And somehow, GOPE believes it can pick someone who will do better than either Trump or Cruz.

No matter who GOPE might pick, couldn’t possibly do better than Trump.

Romney redux?
Kasich?
Ryan?

Come on, be serious!

If you say such things, then you may want to check the Owner’s Manual, The Bible, for just who gets to do the judging and the convicting. Hint: It isn’t mankind.

...Donald Trump has produced a LOT of fruit, and it ain’t looking or smelling good...

I like Donald's fruit just fine, thank you.

I have been yearning for the end to political correctness for a long time. It is time to call islamic terrorists islamic, time to call welfare sponges what they are, and time for the people who work hard and make things to be rewarded.

It is long past time to take control of our southern border. And past time to stop importing people who will vote liberal democrat instead of people who will add to the power and security of the United States.

That's the truth....anyone the GOPE picks is an instant LOSER!

OTOH....apparently, they really don't care, as long as THEY get to keep their cushy jobs. What they don't realize, is that they will NOT get to keep them!
