Exclusive Audio - Rubio Campaign Manager Plots Brokered Convention In Manhattan Donor Meeting To Take Nomination From Trump


Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is plotting to take the Republican nomination away from Donald Trump using surreptitious tactics at a so-called “brokered convention,” according to an audio recording of his campaign manger in a private meeting with high dollar donors in Manhattan obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.

Last Wednesday evening in NYC, according to CNN, Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan met privately with a group of supporters, top donors to chart Rubio’s path forward heading into Super Tuesday after abysmal performances from Rubio so far. During the meeting, Sullivan walked Rubio’s money men through the scenario he envisions he will use to stop Trump.

An audio recording of Sullivan giving the powerpoint presentation obtained exclusively by Breitbart News shows Sullivan plotting for a brokered convention.

“That is – I know if you watch the cable shows, they’re pretty breathless right about now that this is it, nothing is stopping Donald Trump,” Sullivan says at the opening of his remarks on aiming for brokered convention. “He can’t be stopped. He has got more momentum, this is it. It is over.”

But, Sullivan argued in the pre-Super Tuesday session: “5.3 percent of the delegates allocated in this thing. We have 94.7 percent remaining. You need to get to 1,237 delegates to win this thing.”

LISTEN TO THE AUDIO RECORDING:

The presentation came the day after Trump destroyed the rest of the field in Nevada among every demographic including Hispanics. Rubio finished more than 20 percent behind Trump, getting only 7 delegates—half of Trump’s 14 delegates. That was an embarrassing finish for Rubio, who spent much of his childhood in Las Vegas and emphasized the Silver State...

>>Rubio has sewn up the weasel vote.

You are being wayyyy too kind.

But, I like the lingo anyway..The “weasel vote”

That’s a good one even if it is too nice.

I've been trying to follow the legion of conspiracies against Donald Trump, but this is one of its selfish own primarily because Rubio was actually running for POTUS when he ran for his US Senate seat!

Several of the other conspiracies are all about maintaining political power, open borders, the status quo and everything the big donors' money can't buy when President Trump takes office!



GOPe Announce Plans To Go “Full Mississippi” on Donald Trump To Destroy Him. It's been right as rain from publication through today.

Just the other night, MEgyn Kelly had that Stuart Stevens on her crappy show as an "impartial" authority and never mentioned his role in MS-14! Yet, she is going to return to the Fox "Debate" tomorrow night, (of course).

I posted another revealing column yesterday, Ross' Revenge (Actually About TRUMP) by a college kid who's really on the ball.

Marco and his guy can’t pull this off.

They’re dreaming.

Marco has already canceled his Kentucky appearance scheduled for Friday morning.

The nominee has to get a majority of delegates. If Trump accomplishes this, he’s the nominee.

PROVIDED he complies with rule 40 that states that the candidate must win a minimum of 8 states with a majority ( greater than 50% ). The longer both Cruz and Rubio stay in, it may be hard to get that.

The primary rules, new rules, favor Trump. They were changed to favor an early front-runner to avoid the long drag-out of Romney’s nomination.

It would be even harder for Trump if not for them. He’s the beneficiary. If he can’t win a majority under this schedule...

The rule requires winning a majority of the candidates from 8 states,
it does not require winning a majority of the votes.
As of right now, Trump has 5 and Cruz has 1.

Was this an ‘off the record’ meeting with the New York Times?

Is everyone forgetting that Romney did gain enough delegates to win until May?

At this point last go round the eventual winner had lost 8 of 21 states. For those in Rio Linda, that’s just over a 60 pct win rate. Trump thus far has won more than 70 pct of the contests.

And now Romney, Mr. Inevitable, is going to hold a speech of some sort to trash a man who is exceeding the vote totals and win rate Romney established on his way to the nomination.

I guess the peons needs for corraling. The people clearly cannot be trusted (pun intended) to make their own decisions.

And for those who care to look it up...
Santorum didn’t concede until early April, and Newt stayed in until late April. I expect April with also establish a bit of clarity for this year’s crowd.

Majority of delegates, not popular vote.
