GOP launches contested convention website
washingtonexaminer ^ | March 31, 2016 | DAVID M. DRUCKER

The Republican Party on Thursday is unveiling a website to educate the media and the public on the rules of contested presidential nominating convention.

The move is the latest concession by GOP officials that the party is close to holding its first contested convention since 1976, when Ronald Reagan challenged President Gerald Ford. Since then, the quadrennial convention has functioned as a made-for-television pep rally to promote the presumptive Republican nominee.

"ConventionFacts.gop is a tool for voters to learn about convention delegates, rules, and how the overall process works in a simple, easy to understand format," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner.

Go ahead GOP, balkanize the party more. This website will only serve to destroy the party even more. The GOP chair and his posse are the “gang that couldn’t shoot straight.”

The last gasp of the GOP; this is the death rattle before the party expires.

If the election were held today, who would be
your first choice for President of the United States?

Who would be your first choice for Donald Trump's running mate?
Who would be your first choice for Donald Trump's running mate?

Not necessary. Just follow the Romney Rule and write in your preferred candidates. Turnabout is fair play in my book.

We should start a campaign that if the convention nominates someone questionable that we will pledge not to vote for any establishment Republicans in the house and senate... This may be the solution. Get the elites where it hurts. Because all they care about is their particular election.

The globalist that control the R and D wing of the uniparty don’t care is the GOP fractures. That does not brother them one little bit. All they (globalists) care about is stopping Trump nothing else matters.

I want Cruz to get 1237 delegates, if not I want a contested convention.

Cruz wins either way.

If they do that, we have to get together and define what constitutes total destruction of the party and then execute the plan.
