The second ballot is so last week.

Take a look here. The headline, as usual with Alex Jones, is misleading. It's not just about the Trump rallies. It's about the change in the FIRST BALLOT rules.

I find this disgusting, but I’m confident that Trump will come out with over the 1237 delegates needed to win the nomination on the first ballot.

It is an indication just how much an establishment figure Cruz is, and has actually always been. Anyone still thinking he’s an “outsider” after being endorsed by Jeb Bush, Romney and Graham, plus taking Neil Bush into his campaign, along with the entire Jeb finance team, is delusional.

I’m starting to figure out that “principled conservative” and “consistent conservative” are actually code words for open-borders Globalists who want all Americans to be out of work and desperate enough to work for minimum wage (or less).

Real conservative are just conservative. No need for the adjective.

Yep because even Michael Medved call himself, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Paul Ryan, GW Bush, Jeb Bush, etc ‘principled conservatives’. Might as well throw Teddy the Canadian into that group.

>>Stealing the nomination from the front runner is electing Hillary.

And giving away who knows how many House and Senate seats and governorships when people just stay home on election day.

Most people found in a state of severe depression on the side of the road by cops would not land a job like she did in such a short period of time after the incident.

There ya go. That makes it quite official. The shareholders of the GOP have spoken and they prefer foreign labor, so they told their politicians to go out and make it so.

From my understanding, Heidi was promoted 9 days after his election and got a half a million income from it. Can you confirm it was 7 weeks?

Electing hitlery has always been the objective. The party poohbahs have done their common core math and they think that a rat president is good for them. What they aren’ t thinking about are the millions of highly pissed off Trump supporter who will likely go all kamikaze on them and vote agaimst all the down ticket gop candidates.

Given that the candidates down ticket are usually the gop-e enablers, it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

LOL. And By that logic I guess that means that 80% plus of voters can’t wait to reject Teddy dearest. However that’s really academic. Teddy was always supposed to be the designated loser. And lose he will.

As long as they are not asking delegates to ignore their commitment to support the candidate to whom they are bound on the first ballot, there is nothing wrong with this - it is part of the process. It is up to Trump to reach out to the delegates to try to keep them on the reservation after the first ballot. Let's see if he is as great a deal-maker as he claims...

Oh, the horrors of a man who claims to be Christian!

What an asinine statement. Since when does following the rules conflict with being a Christian? You sound just like one of those leftist Alinskyites - trying to hold your opponent to some odd standard of behavior that you would never hold your own candidate to, and then condemning him when he can't live up to your strange and unrealistic standards.

If the convention fails to elect front-runner Donald Trump on the first ballot...

...someone else wants the votes.

Oh, the horrors! Burn it all down!

Always figured that with Cruz.

No doubt and if Cruzers could get over their infatuation with this fraud, we might return to sanity and avoid amnesty.

I doubt the die hards here can see reality. All the amnesty money brokers are backing Ted. Ever wonder why?

The GOPe is going down either way and to that I say, thank God!
