Exclusive Audio — Rubio Campaign Manager Plots Brokered Convention
Breitbart ^ | 03/03/16 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 03/03/2016 1:10:27 PM PST by Enlightened1

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% 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 New York, according to CNN, Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan met privately with a group of supporters and top donors to chart Rubio's path forward heading into Super Tuesday after abysmal performances from the first-term Florid Senator 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."

Now that they can no longer delude themselves that they can win, they delude themselves that they can steal the nomination.

They cannot reach a brokered convention if things continue as they have.

Roboto’s theme music should be “Burning Bridges”.

Once the election is over his new job will be making commercials for south Florida used car dealers.

Get ready to head to Cleveland. Bring your pitchforks.

Fill every street for ten square blocks around that hall.
If Trump wins fair and square, and they try to cheat him out of it, make them run the gauntlet.

CRUZ is campaigning to win the election just as TRUMP is campaigning to win the election.

If the GOPe can pull off a brokered convention then it will be their boy Willard who rides to the rescue to save the party from the unwashed hicks who are trying to steal the party from it's rightful owners.

Hearing that right after Mitt’s speech is ... interesting. They really think Rubio has a chance if they can just get their act together ... and if Trump doesn’t fight back. They remind me of martial arts novices, assuming the target of their attack is going to just stand there & take it while they execute all kinds of clever strikes. Yeah, sure, Trump is going to just stand there ready to drop his 1300+ delegates while Rubio challenges him in the convention with 40 delegates.

It’s possible Cruz and Rubio will force a brokered convention; however, it’s also possible they will unwittingly prevent one.
