Yeh the Politico keeps dreaming. LOL!
A contested Convention will destroy the GOP completely. The GOP has done enough to destroy itself, and this will just see the whole thing collapse. If a contested Convention occurs, I’ll be writing Trump in, and won’t vote for another damned GOP candidate on this ticket, or any other the rest of my life.
Keeping up with Politico’s anti-Trump stories is about impossible anymore.
He’s going to win anyway :)
He endorsed Emperor Zero for President in 2008.
Yeah, the anti-Trump side can change the rules, but the Trump side can’t. Got it.
They can change the rules if they want. They are not carved in stone.
I’d first like to know exactly in what formal missive did Trump convey this “con” to convention officials? Is there a copy? Was there a response? Were the officials even assembled? Have they been assembled yet?
Secondly, why is it I see a preponderance of anti-Trump articles being promulgated and posted here as “something reasonable we’d all like to know” from the likes of Politico, New Republic, Red State, Townhall’s Trump haters, SLATE, Salon ad nauseam? Why is that?
In the end, the FWIW isn’t worth spit.
Conjecture? Hypotheses? or just Trump-hating PDOOMAs (pulled directly out of my ass)?
The Republicans have had the same rules for the convention for over 100 years. But they should change em for Trump? Of course they should, because. . . . . . TRUMP!!!
Actually, it is. The GOPe have tried to change the rules on Trump.
Me personally, I'm sick of ALL the political parties (Repub / Dem is really all one Uniparty anyway).
At this point it does not matter who is the Republican nominee because whoever it is will lose to Hillary easily. What the GOPe was doing to the party was bad enough. Now the candidates have done all they possibly can to destroy this party’s chances in November with their insults and petty, childish behavior. As hard as it is for a Trump supporter to understand, 65% of the electorate cant stand him and his big mouth, his insults and his bragging and would never vote for him. Cruz is done in by his women issues. Kasich is a bleeding heart progressive and whoever the compromise candidate would be will be a GOPe type who cant win.
The Republican party has already elected Hillary.
The nomination will be the ultimate test of his deal making ability in his new sandbox of American politics.
If he can maneuver this mine field and negotiate his way to the prize, he will have earned the self proclaimed title as the worlds best deal maker.
I am pulling for him.
IOW, the process is undemocratic; for our own good of course.
More proof that we live in an oligarchy.
What the media has in common with conservative liberal and every other flavor of media is that they are always there to tell you what is not possible. They are unable to tell you how to get anything accomplished but they are always able to tell you why you will fail or lose.
Something odd there. You would think that if they believe in their opinions they would also be able to tell us all what solutions would work.
If Trump wins California, he wins 1,236. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t.
If he wins California, it’ll be hard to say that he’s not acceptable to the majority of Republican voters. If he doesn’t, Cruz can make the argument that he wins head-to-head, and should be the nominee.
To anyone who reads this: I make no comment about the likelihood of either scenario, so please don’t “scream” obscenities at me.
Crybully:
Someone who uses the perceived righteousness of a poltical cause as a pretext to abuse others, and then plays the victim when confronted about that abuse.
Echoes of Reagan versus MSM, circa 1980.
We all know how that turned out.
Does anyone here realize how rules at conventions are set and when?
Looks like this writer doesn’t know either
Changing nominating rules is part of it for better or worse
It is certainly fair to argue otherwise. But the smear terms, "con" & "bully," simply do not fit in the actual debate.
Trump is a natural Conservative, who will move to the right, more and more, as his focus continues to tighten on the way that Americans have been betrayed by corrupt and stupid public office holders.
Perhaps some of the dumbest analogies and most retarded “story” I’ve read in a good long while.
