Premeditated theft is not against the rules, so you can’t call it stealing. They can’t believe everyone is reacting so violently over their open opposition and promise to “stop Trump”.
I guess they will ultimately call it the “will of the voters”, since people voted and all, and obviously their votes were not really for a candidate, but rather a delegation to figure out who ought to be the nominee.
So brilliant of them to be using Tom Delay to get out there and set the lexicon for us. I am already feeling better about things now, at least they won’t be trying to “steal” the nomination, but rather they will be trying to impose their candidate because they can and they know what is best, all according to the rules.
The message: No smoke filled back rooms, we are declaring openly what we are going to do before we do it.
I think part of this is to suppress the vote for Trump, to get people feeling that there is no way Trump is going to be allowed to be the nominee, so why even go vote. They don’t realize how that is actually working in reverse because they just don’t get it yet.
No, this should encourage the Trump voters to go and vote. If he gets 50% then he gets the nomination no questions asked.
Trump supporters needs to stop whining and go out there and try to get their man to 50%.
If I were a Trump supporter that’s what I’d do, instead of worrying about it being “stolen”.
You almost sound like you don’t really think Trump can get to 50%, and want to pre-emptively argue that he should get the nomination even if he falls short because he has the plurality.
