People need to pay attention to this.

‘Sea Island Republican’ Hugh Hewitt has been predicting an open convention since January.

This is the latest fallback position of the GOP establishment now that Jeb! and Marco Rubio have flamed out.

If Trump or Cruz fail to gain enough votes to win on the first ballot the GOP establishment will nominate the candidate of their choice, which is likely to be Mitt Romney.

“If Trump or Cruz fail to gain enough votes to win on the first ballot the GOP establishment will nominate the candidate of their choice, which is likely to be Mitt Romney.”


Gingrich said last night on Hannity that he believes that someone who has not been vetted by the primary process, some annointed outsider, cannot be the nominee because Trump and Cruz simply won’t allow it. He believes that they will work out a deal before the convention if neither of them wins the 1,237 outright - because either of them deserves the nomination based on votes obtained.

This guy Haugland needs to be told to leave the Party and not let the door hit him in the ass on the way out. His suggestion is so antithetical to the ideals of this country (and the Party) as to be utterly destructive to both. He’s the poster child for what’s wrong with the Party, and why Donald Trump even decided to run, let alone why he’s been so successful.

I personally hope and pray that Trump wins OH tonight. Between that, winning FL, and winning in both NC and IL (and let’s not forget the Marianas Islands!), it’ll be just about over. Buh bye to Robotio and Kasich, and Cruz will be just about mathematically unable to win the 1,237 votes.
