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....

“Trump is the “new Messiah” whose devotees will quote scripture to prove it.”

Oh, yeah? I know that’s impossible. Cruz is the anointed one and the face of God. I know because his father and wife told me so.

Exactly so and join the dust heap of history, as the WHIG PARTY did.

And then this nation is through, over, finished; with nowhere to flee to.

Obviously, you aren’t; sadly. You need a “minder”, as your most recent posts prove.

Helping Hillary all the way through the general is the gope’s last hope of stopping Trump. In chess this is called helpmate, where you help your opponent checkmate you.

I guess Trump’s Dad had “Christ” as his middle name. No, I am not joking. This conman is worse that what he appears.

I’ve complimented trump 40 times today and said that i’m voting for him 15.

and I am.

but I hate NOW and will KEEP hating threads that are put up to no purpose and will get no new votes. Those being about ted.

he’s 22 points behind. he’s a non issue.

time to let it go.

did anyone read the threads on his supreme court picks, or his stance on Japan and SK getting nukes, and many other?

cause those are the ones I like. not dragging a guy through the mud to no end.

I have no idea if he’s a Christian or not....not my job. But from the outside, I’m not seeing the fruits of his salvation. For one thing....he says he has no need to be forgiven.

Man....I get on my knees and ask to be forgiven....it should be daily.

I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it

You're an idiot and a mendacious one.

You are deaf and blind to the factual truth, refuse to accept reality, extremely gullible, and easily believe in lies. Neither do you understand politics, nor the nature of the crisis this nation faces.

The Guardian is a faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar left Brit paper. You Cruzites LOVE to post links to articles slamming Trump from faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar lefty papers/sites.

You'll blame everyone but yourselves ( a la your idol with feet of clay up to his eyeballs) for the destruction of this nation, should Trump get bumped and a Dem is elected.

I'd feel sorry for you, except you are the enemy of the nation I love.

I haven’t been here much lately, but did see some of your posts on threads that were NOT about what you claim to have posted on; hence my post to you.

Different Christian sects believe differently!

Don't judge Trump by YOUR own beliefs!

We are NOT voting for the "MOST CHRISTIAN" person in the USA, we are NOT voting for "THE PERFECT", we are NOT voting to see WHO is "THE MOST SAVED"...........we're voting for the next president of the USA, who can pull this nation back from hanging from the highest cliff by the very tips of her fingernails and has lost the grip of one hand already.

GOT THAT ?

So get on your knees.......ASAP and ask GOD to give you the common sense HE supposedly gave you at birth and which you have lost.

Apparently Frank Luntz’s question asking Donald Trump to confess a sin for which Donald had sought forgiveness and Donald Trump’s refusal to list a sin or two, is a big stumbling block for many. It has morphed into the meme that Donald Trump can’t have been saved because he never asked God for forgiveness. Just what Satan, the accuser of the Bretheren, would want to happen.

I believe this rule is to make sure Trump does not get the delegates that will get him to 1237.

What MUST happen, is that Trump has at least the 1237 delegates and then they can't play games.

Cruz is my first choice, but that is not an option since he cannot get a first ballot nomination. This is why I will be voting Trump - it has to be decided on that first ballot or we're likely to get Kasich or worse.

Wow—I really hope you’re thinking this is going to help Ted.

‘Cause it ain’t.

Right on. You Trumpkins post all the filthy trash from the tabloids almost non-stop to besmirch the good name of a decent name- whom Rush himself has called the only true and proven conservation in the race and may legitimately lay claim to the Reagan mantle, and then you offer a tendentious and our puerile rant befitting madman in defense of a vulgarian and a proven snake oil salesman. Give it up. Trump has now cratered.
