Trump’s being proactive here letting them all know he and his voters aren’t gonna roll over easy should the GOPee pull out some monkey business—and they already have done just that.

So these rules didn’t exist before Trump decided to run?

[jobim]

Amen. Only Trump is the anti-Establishment candidate, as we now clearly see. Why
should he go along with the power brokers at the convention? If raw voting tallies
continue at this pace, swamping primaries of the past, in my opinion, he will do whatever
it takes to represent those voters.

[Tom Bombadil]

This may get me lynched, and I understand the not rolling over part, but why should the party chose a candidate supported by a minority, or even a plurality of the voters?

The rolling geographical nature of the primaries also represents a barrier to rules that winnow candidates early. I am actually interested to see what happens from here on out. If you combine Trump votes with say, Kasich votes, you have a landslide. However, it could easily go the other way if the candidate constituencies combine against Trump for one of the other single candidates.

I hate the words “not fair” when you know the rules going in..

[for-q-clinton]

These were the rules when he started...he didn’t say they were unfair then. He’s saying that now because he knows he’s not going to get 1237.

Sorry Charlie he needs to work the delegates now if he plans to be the nominee. Either he hits 1237 (which he can do) or he needs to wheel and deal on the delegate game to get that number. If he doesn’t like it he can endorse Ted Cruz and be Ted’s VP now so he doesn’t get his feelings hurt later.
