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...

Unfortunately Rubio is probably concentrating on Florida because if he doesn’t win his home state he is out and Romney is in on the GOP establishment attempt to take out Trump and steal the votes of we the Republican voters as described in the prisonplanet.com story Roger Stone leaked.

Here’s a guy that has had to do things very similar to what his job is going to entail as president.

Uh, no. That's a king, not a president. Company presidents don't have to go to Congress for authorization or funding. There are these little things called "limited government" and "separation of powers" invoved.

Oh, so past presidents didn’t have a cabinet and advisers to help them develop policy.

Good to know.

Seriously guy...

Oh please, you can do better than that. You know damned well his speeches are devoid of specifity. For example, just how does he propose to empty LA of drug gangs and illegals? If he wants to use the military, that's illegal. If he wants to use the National Guard, that's under the command of Jerry Brown. How's he going to do that?

After all, this is the centerpiece of his campaign!

Executive experience apparently being important to you, how about a guy who has not only turned companies around as a CEO (without going bankrupt four times), but has also run a State?

Then you want Mitt Romney!

Oh, you mean policy matters? So, where's the policy record for Donald Trump? How is he going to do what he "promises"?

Little Rubio shows once again that he is working for the GOPe, not the people. He never expected to get the nomination, just serve his paymasters.

Shrillary will end the Republic, finishing what the bathhouse barry bastard boy has started. That appears to be the agenda of the ones pulling GOPe strings.

Yes, I am aware of that. However, it should be on the main page, not simply on the sidebar. Just my 2 sense. ;-)

Which is the problem if Cruz gets enough votes in round one they will use that to install Rubio as the nominee in round two.
