This kind of crap hasn’t happened in the last 70 yrs. What is wrong this time. No large group has ever threatened to bolt the party if their candidate did not win—and yes their have been smoke filled rooms, etc. If Trump or Cruz does not get the maj of delegates we go to a second ballot. If some of these idiots want a socialist/Communist leader then bolt and live to tell you kids and grand kids how stupid you were.
I don’t think it will this time either.
The difference is we didn’t have polls for the last 70 years asking voters if you don’t get your way will you bolt the party. They are answering yes, in hopes that it will sway the outcome and their guy will be nominated.
But I do think if the GOPe steals the election from the candidates and puts someone else in, you will see a revolt.
