"My brother from another mother!"
LOL!
Americans are not bound to phoney “conservatives”
who deserve tar and feathering (at least).
Hey Dave - Bill Kristol needs another cup of coffee. Chop chop!
Kristol and his “Standard”, NR and all its little ghouls, and the GOPe are all just begging for a real war.
The GOPe is deranged.
So writing this trash is what Mr. French considers more honorable than being Mr. Kristol’s spoiler third party candidate?
So. GOP is committed. Trump or lose but they insist on making it Trump and lose.
The world changes nov/2016.
And there’s not a single thing that keeps us from declaring him President right now, declaring Philadelphia the capitol again, declaring DC a giant Roach Motel, and letting the Army decide whether they want the Constitution or the Socialist Horde.
How foolish do.you want to be? Enough to go out with your gray matter scattered on a wall? It would have happened long ago in other countries. “Treason” is not a page torn out of our dictionary...it is there in big, bold letters. Flashing neon, in fact.
David French and too many others need to be introduced to Vlad Tepes.
Really? These people are dreaming.
(2) For any manner of binding or allocating delegates under these rules, if a delegate (i) casts a vote for a presidential candidate at the national convention inconsistent with the delegate’s obligation under state law or state party rule, (ii) nominates or demonstrates support under Rule No. 40 for a presidential candidate other than the one to whom the delegate is bound or allocated under state law or state party rule, or (iii) fails in some other way to carry out the delegate’s affirmative duty under state law or state party rule to cast a vote at the national convention for a particular presidential candidate, the delegate shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as a delegate and the delegate’s improper vote or nomination shall be null and void. Thereafter the secretary of the convention shall record the delegate’s vote or nomination in accordance with the delegate’s obligation under state law or state party rule. This subsection does not apply to delegates who are bound to a candidate who has withdrawn his or her candidacy, suspended or terminated his or her campaign, or publicly released his or her delegates.
This subsection is about enforcing state binding rules. It says at the top that a delegate who does not vote as the state directed them to will be discharged, and their vote will be recorded as the state initially directed.
Convention rules specifically DO enforce state binding rules.

So why have primaries?

The Cheap Labor Express will not give up.
The three card monte dealer in Times Square is more honest then the GOPe.
For years they have controlled the process and the voters only thought they had a choice.
Here comes Trump, they have no control over him, their pre-selected candidate does not win, so they say, does not matter, we will allow the delegates decide who will represent the Republicans.
Once again, the Republican party has been exposed as a fraud. We now know why even when the voters send a majority to congress, the liberal agenda keeps moving ahead.
We need a third party.
Likewise, there are no delegates bound to NOT vote for Trump.
Methinks there will be a surprising number that will vote Trump.
The underlying goal of the #antiTrump traitors want Hillary to win. So, they will run hit piece after hit piece, regardless of how true or realistic the article is. What we should do is (1) cancel any subscriptions to Weekly Standard, National Review, Levin TV and all other #neverTrump writers/supporters and (2) anytime they show up on TV, call and complain.
I honestly don’t trust Donald Trump to do right by America and take his oath for the Constitution seriously. But I hope he surprises us in a good way if elected President. So I’m no diehard Trump fan so far. However I do have a pretty good understanding of mathematics. Trump needs 1237 delegates to support him on the 1st ballot. He apparently has 1542 delegates committed to him right now (source: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/republican_delegate_count.html). This means that Kristol and others who dream of the GOP nomination going to someone else need to come up with 306 defectors or nearly 20% of Trump’s base of chosen delegates to switch elsewhere just to get past the first ballot. If they were to succeed then it would be a disaster for decades ahead for the GOP. But on the other hand if they actually could pull it off then Paul Manafort would certainly prove to be super pathetic as the odds of success for Kristol regarding the First Round are no better than they’d be for a Super Bowl team who finds themselves down 42-0 with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter.
In the meantime I think the real political thinkers are moving on to the reality that the November 2016 election is going to be a contest between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Voters are going to have to decide who is going to put America and the Constitution first. For example, if Donald Trump is in the Executive Branch will we see him setting up a private email server in his bathroom closet at home to send super-classified emails back-n-forth from his Blackberry in an easy way for the Chinese/Russian and other foreign powers to easily snoop? If Trump were to do that then he ought to be toast.
hey no problem
trump walks out the door and runs on his own...
the situtaion reveals the UNIPARTY in all its “king with clothes” mode marching down the street...
they dont want trump because he is not one of them and they cant control him
and who are they...
the dems and repubs plundering the people of this country...
figureheaded by the bushs and the clintons
David French,
You want massive folks come out at you and your ilk with tar and pitchfork, this is the exactly way to do it. Congrats!
Way to compete for the most unfavorable person title with whatshername Shultz.
