I live in the Peoples’ Republic of Seattle (thankfully in a burb that is more conservative, comparatively speaking).
I just saw the article and don’t know much about it. From what I gather (and I could be wrong), you will vote for the President as well as a delegate (unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that who they support will be shown). That’s why I suggested that Mr. Manafort needs to get team on the ground in PA and make sure these delegates are vetted - perhaps do commercials, mailers or whatever so that the voters know who the delegates will vote for at the convention.
From what I’ve read, Cruz has folks on the ground in various states trying to “steal” delegates (I think that’s why Trump engaged Mr. Manafort, who is supposed to be the best at delegates and conventions). Mr. T can tap into this, especially in states like PA. As I understand it, ND also has unbound delegates and most will go for Cruz.
Bill Hemmer indicated this a.m. that SD and MT are expected to go for Cruz - perhaps Trump could take a little detour to those states on one of his trips to/fro CA. I don’t think they get to see many candidates and they’d probably be thrilled to see him (I’m saying this w/o knowing much about the system, delegates, etc. - this election has been very much a learning experience about the ins and outs of delegates!). Not many delegates in those 2 states, but each one helps!
This election has certainly opened my eyes to the ways The Establishment tries to control elections. How long has the "consent of the governed" been slipping away?
Pat Buchannan is now on board with Trump also VERY good in this area of delegates and convention!!! Mr. Trump HAS to walk into that convention with the # needed!!! I think he can do it!!!
