Keep Your Eye on Convention Rule 40
rushlimbaugh.com ^ | March 04, 2016 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 03/05/2016 9:02:46 AM PST by RedMDer

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

This is from The Politico. "The only way Republicans can stop Donald Trump from capturing their party’s presidential nomination will be if they go to the July party convention without a clear standard-bearer. Virtually every GOP member of The POLITICO Caucus -- a panel of operatives, activists, strategists and elected officials in four key March-voting battleground states -- said after Super Tuesday, the door has closed on the possibility of another candidate winning a majority of delegates."

....

However, they can change rule 40 the day before the convention. That's also in the rule! Rule 40 basically says what it says today, and has the provision that they can rewrite it and say whatever they want it to say the day of the convention or the day before. (interruption) Well, it's their convention, Snerdley. It's the Republican Party's convention. They can write whatever rules they want. And they have given themselves all kinds of outs and latitude and leeway to write new rules whenever they need them. (interruption) It's exactly right, why they don't trust -- and this is what Cruz is talking about. If they start messing around like this, it's all over.

This may be how the GOP-e ignore the voters and nominate one of their RINO golden boys.

TRUMP and CRUZ delegates must stand together at the convention.

Today we have changed the rules so that the one with the most delegates is actually the loser . . . hah! Bet you losers didn’t see that one coming!

Or at least put all the casualties into one pile.

I hope everyone understands that these rules were written for ¡Yeb!

He was supposed to be the Designated Loser this time around.
The Cheap Labor Express always gets their amnesty candidate.
It’s all about blocking us from electing anyone who would stop the illegal alien inundation. Even if The Cheap Labor Express candidate wins (GWB) there is no danger of the people pipeline being hampered.

Trump stepped in and took their playbook from them and pushed their Cheap Labor Express candidate out of the race.

He’s now using the calendar and rules they set up for ¡Yeb! against them.

They are trying everything to stop him. I believe they are willing to do anything to stop him.

You are correct. It would be a mistake that could end the GOP and plant salt to insure that it doesn’t come back.

It is not clear that this RULE 40 can be changed solely by the current stacked Romney Rules Committee, but at your STATE CONVENTION.

It is at STATE CONVENTION that new RULES COMMITTEEMAN are elected.

Rules Committee candidates can run for office on the actual RULES Committee, but at STATE, and I suppose they can be devious and betray, but the ROMNEY Committee needs to be replaced!

CRUZ will betray TRUMP. THIS crap is about disemboweling TRUMP delegates, using CRUZ delegates. Period.

This is the GOPE plan.

Convention Rule 41.

Insider attendees should know where all fire exits are located, so when they attempt to steal this election, they can quickly exit when 50,000 pissed off Trump supporters show up with torches and pitchforks.
