The RNC has got to realize that if they deny Trump by old-style shenanigans, they'll most probably lose the Presidency, US Senate, HOR and a lot of credibility in Governor races. Why? Not just fed up Republicans, but younger and other less ideologically entrenched voters who are fed up. They were either going with Sanders or Trump. If Trump has the nomination after Bernie's been *crewed by the dem establishment, they'll embrace Constitutional Conservative values and principles and support Trump. If the convention gets ugly, ala the Cochran nomination theft, the Republican Party is OVER and the nominee has Jeb-magnitude taint.

It's why the polls of "who does best against hillary" are invalid. There's just too much dynamic stuff going on between now and then.

Trump a “constitutional conservative”?

It's too early for strong drink my friend.

The youth may embrace populism from trump, but they will never even hear a message that the orator does not understand.

I don't post this to slam you or trump. He gets money. He gets populist anger. He gets big talk. Even I can understand and appreciate that.

The constitution? He's pretty much clueless. He knows enough about governmental dysfunction to rally his troops but he is ignorant of how it should function.

If you are looking for someone who can speak about governmental dysfunction in detail and who actually knows the constitution there is a candidate that fits the bill.
