Isn’t Delay really suggesting that the corrupt Washington cartel regards the primaries is meaningless, particularly since cartel candidates are not winning?

This is the equivalent of the GOPe trying to sell us horse manure, telling us it’s chocolate candy.

The Primaries is 100% WASTE OF TIME, if they are going to nulify our votes. It goes against the principales everything this Republic was founded on.

These are the same b@stards that say it’s okay for Hillary Clinton to commit thousands of felonies and do nothing about it. At the very same time the average American is held to a different standard.

The GOP will be facing a full scale revolt if they are stupid enough to do this. Pray that it’s not physical.

That’s just what I need. Color commentary from an ex con about the inner machinations of the GOP sausage factory.

Actually Tom, the whole system is rigged.
But you knew that already.

They made the rules to help themselves, American voters be damned.

Hell Tom, they even fixed it where if the rules get in their way they can change them any time they want to fix that too.

After all look at what they've done to you.

Folks, we are honored to have in our presence someone who is far more brilliant, far more intelligent, far more knowledgable than the rest of us...He even tells us so quite often...

From Timmy:

“Must be blonde.”

“Oh, no. They are uninformed and absurd.”

“...all the ignorance being displayed here...”

“Another Trump moron. God help us.”

I could go on, but I don’t want his head to swell...
“You Trumpsters are like unruly children.”

There is nothing stopping the delegates from nominating Rubio or Jeb on the first ballot even if Trump has the lead in "pledged" delegates. A pledge is just that, they are broken all the time and have no weight in law.

Other than suffering the howls of outrage, there is no punishment should delegates decide to go against the wishes of primary voters.

It could happen. The GOP here in Washington has shown a willingness to run rough over the wishes of the caucus attendees in the past two elections. Essentially the process was conducted to ensure the result the GOPe wanted: Romney in 2012. Ron Paul delegates were denied and disenfranchised. (Ron Paul may have done the same thing to others in some other states).

Partially as a result we went to all delegates being apportioned by primary (previously, it was 50/50). But, there still is a caucus to select delegates, but the delegates are supposed to just follow the primary vote at the convention.

Thing is, with no candidate being supported at the Caucus's it's turned back into a GOP Old-boys club. So the actual people going to Cleveland are much more likely to personally support Mitt, Rubio or Ryan and have zero attachment to Trump.

I believe Mitt's speech is just the start of a process designed to create massive "unfaithful delegates" and take the nomination away from Trump, even after he's won it, using pledge-breaking as the mechanism.

Translation: When we throw out your votes and choose OUR establishment candidate instead, it’s not stealing the election in our eyes.

Even Tom Delay is one of them.

Another GOPe ESTABLISHMENT HACK reveals his true colors! The one thing Donald Trump has accomplished more than anything is to pull the OZ curtain back to reveal all of the GOPe establishment, Anti-American, illegal loving, cheap labor cockroaches for who they really are!

Please be sure to write their names down on a list; NEVER FORGET WHO AND WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY ARE AND DO EVERYTHING WITHIN YOUR PERSONAL POWER TO COMPLETELY MARGINALIZE AND REMOVER THEM FROM THEIR POSITIONS! And yes I am yelling, because like untold millions of American citizens I am totally fed up with and over the GOPe taking us conservatives for suckeres! To quote the song: "We WON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN!

Tom DeLay (what he really meant to say):

Everyone needs to realize that K Street Lobbyists are the ones that pick the nominee.

Tom Delay: Voters Need to Understand “The Delegates Pick the Nominee”

Well, Tom, here's what you need to understand. Come November I plan on voting for Donald Trump for President. I can either select his name electronically in the category marked "Republican" or I will hand-write it in.

If the GOPe does this..., then they will be FORFEITING the election over to Hillary Clinton.

I don’t think the Trump supporters along with others will vote of a Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush.

It will will 100% ensure the election of Hillary Clinton.

Oh and the end of our Republic as we know it.

You can thank the GOPe for it too.

What I’ve seen in the past few years... hillary is guilty of crimes but able to run for President. bill can stand outside a polling place and ask for votes but nothing is done. obama can do whatever he wants to.. illegal and lawless.. nothing is done. congress can also do whatever they want to and nothing is done. Some congress persons do not pay taxes and nothing is done. Rules only apply to the little people in fly over land.

But Delay now says there are rules and regulations in the process of electing a President.. and the will of the people is not the way it’s done. Since when do rules and regulations mean squat to Washington/congress/media? Only when the people rise up and speak. Have you not noticed? There is a revolution in progress.

That’s a bunch of BS.

If Trump goes to the convention one short of 1237 and doesn’t get the nomination, then it’s only because of anti-middle class sentiment that Trump will not walk out the candidate.

Period.

And I will be among that first batch clamoring for him to go third party.

If the people have no say in who the nominee is, why bother with primaries and voting? Oh, I get it. It’s to SELL ad time on TV and SELL campaign memorabilia and to SELL consultant services.

Tom, I was a supporter, I know you got a raw deal legally and I'm glad it was overturned. In hindsight I wonder if your service was worth the credit you got.

Given that, what was the point? Any reasonably informed person knows we elect delegates. The delegates vote for the nominee. So, what's the point?

We know that after the first ballot delegates can vote as they choose. We know the Party can change the rules on whim. We're just counseling that you show good judgment...and stop F@#%ING with us.
