The RNC Delegates Are Morally Free to Vote Their Consciences

You would think that the Republican "elite" just doesn't WANT to win. They don't want the burden of fixing the last eight years, so their strategy now is to take a dive and throw the election - Supreme Court be damned.

Apparently it is a comic book

[aumrl]

In the beginning..........
there were multiple candidates.
Trump still won.

As the field narrowed his %age of the vote grew
And in the last group of primaries he was WAY over 50%

It’s been said Figures don’t lie;
But LIARS figure.

Bill Crystal I can understand, but Fred Barnes, shame on you. Another reason I do not listen to Hugh Hewitt’s show anymore as he was a frequent guest. Another “bastion” of conservatism gone left, what a joke.

Here in TX, the party heads said the Court upheld Rule 16.
Rule 16 states if a delegate votes for someone other than the person to whom they are bound, their vote will be recorded as being for the person to whom they were bound.

We get it. They want Hillary, but there will be a price for this nonsense.

A GOP ballot down wipe out of historic proportations.

We are not a democracy, he said.
-
Without a majority, we owe him nothing, he said.

Delusional, confused, and self-contradictory, is right

Well said. I think dumping Trump would be a bad move but the GOP is entirely wthin their rights to do so.

[dp0622]

lol I see this paper isn’t loved here.

[goldstategop]

Trunp later in the primaries won overwhelming majorities.

And even where he won with a plurality, he won those states fair and square.

Bill Kristol is not making a pitch for Ted Cruz and John Kasich’s delegates to be free agents.

No, he’s making the demand only of Trump. They’re not really asking for a free vote but for a convention coup.

Not going to happen. If the #NeverTrumpers don’t like Trump, they’re free to leave the party.

But they have no right and no standing to subvert the will of Republican voters. Period.

[goldstategop]

Hilarious or I should say, hillarious.

Considering Mittens lost, Trump can hardly do worse and he could do a lot better.

Jay Cost’s worse nightmare isn’t that Trump might lose. Its that he could win.

And a pundit would rather be dead than admit that could well happen.

Considering what Obama has wrought the last eight years, we don’t need more of it under Hillary Clinton.

Let Cost play his childish games elsewhere.

[goldstategop]

Let’s face it - your average Republican voter is not a base conservative - they’re somewhere in the middle.

Cruz was too conservative for them and Kasich was too liberal for them.

Trump was the Goldilocks candidate, in between the extremes. He fits today’s GOP to a T.

These morons can show up in their tri-corner tin foil hats and proclaim they are so conservative that they want to destroy America to prove it, but they will be just a fart in the wind and a memory before the balloons fall.
