So this is a genuine report?
Trump delegates are barred?
All delegates should be locked with the top two. Delegate headhunting is a byzantine process fit for the Ming dynasty or some other throwback.

Exactly!
’ ... and who have we got to thank for all of this?’
The super majority of intellectuals. They did all the thinking and planning back when Americans were busy with real jobs and real families and church functions.
Sparticus, if you want to undermine support for the only possible front runner, then I too wonder what your purpose is?
Is this report for real?
Seems to be. Not an ‘April Fools’ joke apparently.
Didn’t see it on Drudge. Not top of page here.
I’m a little incredulous that it’s not big news.
My purpose is to defeat Hillary. Trump is far from the only possible candidate. In fact, he is by far the least electable person in the race. While it may surprise some folks who only interact with like minded conservatives, Trump has almost a two thirds disapproval rating nation wide. No one can win the general election with those kind of numbers. While his supporters really, really, really support him, they are a minority of a minority. (Republican primary voters)
Look, I understand the reasons behind Trumps support. It feels like the so-called conservatives that we have elected to represent us have tucked their tails between their legs and rolled over, and many folks are beyond frustrated. We want someone who will stand up and fight the left. Trump's bluster, braggadocio, and politically incorrect language makes him seem like just the guy we need to take on the left. Maybe so, but those very same (qualities/faults) turn off wide swathes of the population. I don't have a single female relative (almost all lifelong Republicans) or acquaintance who I can get to say that they would consider voting for Trump.
I don’t know what to make of it.
After meeting counts had Trump getting delegates, so what do I make of that? Confusing to say the least.
We’ll vote a straight Democrat ticket to punish these fascists! If that dooms the country then taker her down, she’s finished anyway!
TRUMP and Cruz representatives were locked out of a meeting of Establishment representatives reportedly inside picking delegates. I did not hear what state this was occurring in, but both camps were teed off.
The consensus was that those on the inside must be picking delegates who would, on a Third Ballot, vote for none of the above but would vote for an Establishment nomination.
That is all I heard. There was a tweet on this thread repeating the same thing on camera. The two being interviewed on radio were both males, that I heard. The tweet up thread is by another representative who is female.
Nice thought. Too bad it is completely wrong. But I do appreciate your passion.
My bad!
Thought I was somewhere else when I posted that.
Sorry I micro-agressed you and invaded your safe space. <rolls eyes>
Actually, this is a "They're going to steal it from Trump thread."
‘In fact, he is by far the least electable person in the race.’
That’s just a forcast.
Look at the history — crossover votes, not the ‘gamesmanship’ of ‘operation chaos’ but actual crossovers.
More unity and energy in the base at the same time.
Don’t buy the astro-turf, the same kinds of ‘if you vote half a year from now’ polls that made Reagan look unelectatble.
Not that Trump is Reagan obviously, but look at how well he’s doing DESPITE all the Romney tricks, etc.
He’s the front-runner. The only possible front-runner.
Anti Trumps are opposed to unity. That simple.
‘This is a Trump Rally thread.’
I think it’s a hard reality check, but what anti-Trump poster would want to believe that?
