What I'm saying s that there AREN'T that many party loyalists. Jeb's at 5-6%, and the others only garner support as long as they're perceived as out of the mainstream.

Stop being so afraid!! The likes of Jeb are no better than hillary is, and the voters realize that.

You need to add Yeb, Rubio, a chunk of Carson, Gnarly and the lilliputian anklebiters like Miss Graham and Kasich into those numbers. That is a lot. If it has to be done, it has to be done, but BOTH of the racketeering operations posing as political parties will be on the same page and the dems probably will get 30ish percent of the vote just because their base is servile. The GOP base is less servile, but this thread proves such obsequiousness remains a factor.

Maybe the coronation of Hillary will cause a rift with the Sanders fauxsheviks and create an opportunity. Maybe Trump could secure the largest plurality, or even a majority, but he is not there yet, and to get there, we’d probably have to be on the cusp of civil disorder.

The easiest course right now is to beat down the GOP nomenklatura, HARD. They must be disabused of the notion that their chicanery and obstruction will be tolerated any longer. We’ve suffered a quarter century of GOP misdirection and treachery now.

Let me clarify something since I'm somewhat naive about the inner workings of this:

1. Trump is currently ahead in almost all of the polls. Sure, there's one or two outliers, but he's by far the current front runner.

2. Trump, by anyone's consensus, has won the debates.

3. If Trump wins say 80% of the primaries, and continues to be ahead in the polls by 5-10 points, don't they Have to give him the nomination at the Republican Convention?

If the above scenario occurs and he doesn't get the nomination, then what?
