Bernie needs to disavow his violent supporters
Oh, goody! He might actually win, and then we’d have to live him down at Washington cocktail parties. Far better to pick a loser./s
>>Will you support Cruz if he has more delegates than Trump, but not the required 1237?
Yes, I will.
Will you support Trump if he has more delegates than Cruz, but not the required 1237?
Hate to break it to you but except for the conservative home of Mitt Romney, you’ve only gotten pluralities. Most GOP voters don’t want your guy. Your Massachusetts majority means nothing to us.
I will tell you a true story. In 1996 I ran the Keyes campaign in my county in Iowa, Linn County. Of his 7% statewide vote 5% came from this county. We get to the state convention and we have to decide who the delegates were to go to the National Convention. I was the chairman of that committee. We got in a room with all the pro-life, pro-family leaders and decided who would go to the convention. Every person had to be conservative and pro-life. We left Jim Leach, a sitting congressman, off the list as a delegate. We had the delegates voted on at the state convention and it carried overwhelmingly. As I left the stage ten to twenty people stopped me and told me in very vivid language what I could do to myself and in some instances what I could do with my mother.
My guess is no John Kasich supporter will be among the delegates going to Cleveland. One will vote for him in the first round. After that they are free to vote for who they want. THOSE ARE THE RULES.
So this is not some plot that only the insiders use, this is how delegates are chosen. The way to ensure your candidate wins is to have 50%+1 on the first vote.
Where are you going to base your operations? Massachusets?
I don’t think you understand. There are active plots to steal the election regardless of the results.
This isn’t your father’s republican party. This is AMERICA speaking...republicans and democrats. We are taking back the country. We have boxing gloves while they have little mittens.
I researched it today and what I found is that it is a high felony to coerce or bribe a delegate in Ohio.( 10 years to do) Coercion and promises for the delegate or his family of ANYTHING IS ILLEGAL!! This works for Trump. While he could play their games, the threat of 10 years in an Ohio Prison will keep everyone honest. Why would an honest person not support the the candidate with a 2 million vote lead in the primaries? Why ,especially if he can kick hiliary’s big fat ass? WHY NOT DO THE RIGHT THING FOR AMERICA? There is a law in Ohio that stops Karl Rove/ Mitch McConnell COLD!!
Bernie is a Communist!!
If we disrupt a hillary Rally— will they blame hillary? Why not? They blamed Trump when the Communist disrupted his?
I don’t know Ohio rules regarding delegates, are they bound for the entire convention or just the first vote.
When one looks at the history of Chicago in 1968 at Democratic National Convention, one needs to separate the who (hippie lefties) from the what (The “Establishment” controlling the convention, nominating its candidate).
The lefties who wanted immediate surrender in Vietnam could not accept President Lyndon Johnson’s slower approach and his hand picked replacement, VP Hubert Humphrey.
So they came into Chicago to disrupt and Mayor Richard Daley did his part as a member of the Establishment, backed by his head cracking police and the National Guard.
They cleared the streets and beat up the protestors.
Anyone suspicious or seen as not belonging on the convention floor was removed roughly by security and even the helmeted police if needed.
Will this be done at the GOP convention as in GOPe stealing the nomination?
How will those being taken out by the political machine who happen to support Donald Trump respond?
The media in 1968 was sympathetic to the lefties but the general public was disgusted with the protestors and most voted against them in the fall by choosing Nixon or Wallace for president (57 percent of the popular vote).
“I see Trump supporters setting up a scenario wher if he loses for any reason whatsoever, they will scream that they were cheated.”
No, you don’t.
I would rather vote for Hillary , than another Gop facist, if they steal it from Trump / the people.
Exactly. We must defeat this evil enemy !
The way they have come out against Trump. No way I coukd support their puppet . We are taking this country back, we cant let it become like europe.
That has ben the intention all along.
That has ben the intention all along.
If Trump enters the convention with a majority of the delegates, that’s it. If Trump enters with less than a hundred short of a majority, the convention will highly likely nominate him. To do otherwise would be political suicide for the party. OTOH, the GOPe may be fine with that; it just wants to stop Trump.
If he doesn’t have 1237 delegates then he will not have enough for the nomination. If Trump wins the nomination the Republicans are hosed. If they broker the deal for another candidate then the Republicans are hosed.
