Pelosi warns GOP about booting Trump
The Washington Examiner ^ | 3/3/2016 | SUSAN FERRECHIO

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi warned Thursday that it wouldn't be wise for Republicans to broker a deal that crowns another Republican candidate as the party's presidential nominee if Donald Trump earns the majority of delegates in the upcoming primaries.

"To the Republicans, if they think they are going to upset the verdict of the people in terms of the election, that can really become a very big Pandora's box," Pelosi said. "If someone has the majority of the delegates, from the votes of the people, I think you change that to your peril."

Rumors have swirled in the Capitol about a plot to dethrone Trump, who has angered the GOP establishment with his brash campaign style, proposal to ban Muslim entrants and a pledge to build a wall on the Mexican border. Republicans have said nothing officially about any plans to use the July Republican National Convention to contest a Trump win.

Instead, GOP leaders are taking shots at Trump hoping to hurt his performance in the remaining primaries in order to deprive him of the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination.

Sort of sad when Pelosi makes more sense than Romney or McCain.

Pelosi would love nothing better than see the GOP implode and lose it all. House, Senate, Presidency, everything. America up in smoke.

Romney and the GOPe are complete idiots.

And the Democrats have rigged the nomination for Mrs. Bill with superdelegates.

Maybe she’s just plain stupid as she is-— believing the current polls that Trump cant beat Hillary. Plus she sees how the GOPee is in a panty wad over Trump. Divide and conquer..

It always makes sense to take advice from your enemy who hates you more than life itself.

She and all lefties as well as the GOPe should all be summarily ignored.

Hilarious concern trolling, since Hillary starts off every Dem primary/caucus with a big chunk of “superdelegates”. The actual delegate count between Bernie and Clinton is still really close, if you subtract their democracy usurping process that keeps the “anointed” candidates in the lead.

Her opinion is as worthless as everything else about her.

Nothing... absolutely NOTHING.. that spews from the weirdly shaped lips of Nancy Pelosi is without a political motive. That psycho b***h needs to be told to piss off.

No, Pelosi is as dumb as a box of rocks, and she thinks Hillary can beat Trump.

Pelosi is always in it for her party. There is no way that she is a Trump supporter.

Something in all of this for the Dems or Pelosi is a closet Trump supporter?

Trump did support her after all, so a little loyalty is just how cronyism works.

Excuse me? I didn’t fall for anything. How about stop with the accusations and not link an article to the poster.

And Trump, who endorsed Romney 4 years ago is now Romney’s arch enemy. They’re all in it together and America’s been snookered.

Would she say the same thing if it looked like Bernie was winning the majority of the Dem primary vote?

I think that if the GOPe come out to actively undermine Trump, against the vote of Americans, that the backlash from the electorate will be too severe for ANY politician, D or R, to overcome.

One thing that has to be made clear, is that if the 53% of the people lose faith in the federal government to uphold and defend the constitution, the other 47%, including all federal employees (yes, including the military) will suddenly find themselves in enemy territory. In a nation where there are more firearms than people.

I don’t think that the point is lost even on someone as socialist as pelosi.
