John Kasich's chances of winning the nomination are hopeless yet they kept him in the race purely so that he could draw delegates from Trump and Cruz. They were hoping that Kasich would take Michigan but they hit the jackpot last night with winner-take-all Ohio. Kasich now has at least 129 delegates with zero path to the nomination. However, those are 129 delegates denied to the hated Trump and Cruz.

I am not too concerned about anything a failed Speaker with a lousy legacy has to say about this election. He simply misses being in the spotlight - the Attention-Whore-gene is big in this one...

Yes, I think you’re correct in your thinking. Donald mentions talking to Paul Ryan at every election night speech. He is giving us the impression that he has open conversation with Ryan. When Ryan tries to act like he’s not part of a back door deal it will really look bad on Ryan’s part.

Hey, Boehner and Ryan! Someone sent me a video that has you in it and sends a message to you and your Cabal friends. You won’t like it, but I bet a lot of anti-Establishment FReepers will, you sick, twisted, and VERY clueless morons.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ-2m23yL3Y

To FReepers, if you don’t have time to watch it (it’s about 7 min, i think), then at least watch the ending where Trump sends a message to Boehner and his cronies. It was priceless.

At about 6:50 or so, it shows one of the Trump rallies in Mississippi. Seated behind Trump in the seat of honor — in full view of the cameras in case the GOPe was watching — was his MS campaign manager, MS lawyer Mitch Tyner. The pics shown here are when both Trump and his son turned around and acknowledged Tyner in the crowd.

MS lawyer Mitch Tyner was Chris McDaniel’s lawyer in 2014 when the GOPe had stolen the MS Senatorial primary runoff election (for incumbent Thad Cochran).

I’m pretty much convinced that Trump plans his steps far ahead. You know what they say: It’s easy to underestimate an apparent “dumb blond.” ;-)

** The GOPe did not believe the first shot across the bow with Cantor being thrown out & they continue to ignore the warning signs .... more ‘beat down’ coming if they try any Jeb! or Ryan stunts.**

I think that video i just posted has Eric Cantor in it. Just FYI.

I just posted this on another thread but it belongs here. When i wrote it a few minutes ago, i hadn’t heard this news about Ryan. Now it’s even MORE relevant...

A brokered convention is the only option the Uniparty has now. Their sole motivation is to preserve their Elite status, thus they must prevent any “outsider” from invading their personal “inside-the-beltway” space. If they want to prevent a disruption of the elite ruling class that could result from a Trump presidency, they must convince all those in the #NeverTrump camp to climb aboard. Online Psyops 101 will be in full force for the next few months.

I’m not 100% pro-Trump. Not even close. Even though he’s solid on the things that matter — immigration, SC picks, 2A, pro-military but not to the point of being pro-war, pro-life, fair trade, very pro-USA & very anti-globalist — there are still things about him that I DON’T like. At this point, though, he’s the only candidate with the innate ability to stare down his opponent until his opponent gives up and slithers away. He has done that in business for years, and he’s the only one who can and WILL do it to Hillary.

Our country is at a crossroads, imo, one that is crucial for our survival. If we allow the Uniparty to take us down their globalist road, we’ll never find our way back. And if we’re totally realistic with ourselves, neither of the other 2 candidates can get to the magic delegate number by July. Once you accept that reality, only one conclusion can be made:

If Kasich and Cruz are as pro-USA and pro-Constitution as they claim to be — and I’m talking strong enough to overrule their own personal self-ambition — then both of them would get behind the front-runner and spend the remaining primary time & money on beating Hillary.

Put more simply, Kasich is Kasich. You can look at the ticker-tape parade he gave himself last night and clearly see he’s obsessed with being President, USA be damned. Besides, he does what the Uniparty tells him to do (which explains his constant assertions to the contrary).

As for Ted Cruz, if is actually who he claims to be, anti-Establishment and pro-Constitution, then he will set aside his personal self-ambition for a few years and get behind the Uniparty Steamroller. He is young and should have a bright future ahead of him. And if Cruz cannot see this, my only question is WHY? We KNOW why Kasich can’t see it - he’s self-absorbed and has been obsessed with being President for half his life.

For Ted Cruz, the choice will eventually be made for him if this results in a brokered convention. He will be cast aside by the Uniparty (assuming he’s not actually one of them.) So the only question in my mind is whether or not he will be wise and choose his own destiny. NOW. Before it’s too late.

John Boehner’s power was thrown away...this insane statement is his way of getting attention from the press.

It’s pathetic.

** I think Mitch & Ryan were telling Trump to “dial down the heat” & wanting him to take responsibility for the violence at rallies, but Trump put his own spin on it & cast the conversations as a positive. **

If true, then I interpret that as Trump giving them every opportunity to come to their senses before they rip this country apart.

I heard that both Romney and Ryan have filed the necessary papers late last year to legally run.

This would mean at a brokered convention either Romney or Ryan would legally be acceptable if the establishment wanted to railroad them through as the nominee.

Good thing the people of Ohio have the Buckeyes football team and maybe the Cavs as winners because their politics produce a bunch of losers and knotheads.

ifinnegan: “Rule 40 will be done away with before the nomination process.”

RitaOK: “Exactly. That will be the shot heard round the world when the still Romney Rules Committee advances a Rules change prior to the delegates assembly in Convention.”

Don’t fall victim to the misinformation & fear mongering about RNC Rules. Know that the Convention Rules Committee consists of delegates elected to this convention. They propose whatever rule changes they believe are necessary for this convention. All amendments to the rules made by the Convention Rules Committee must then be approved on the floor of the convention by the entire delegation to prevent hijacking and such.

So to your point, this convention’s rules committee can reverse or amend those rules that Romney loyalists had put in for the 2012 convention.
