Shortly after Ted Cruz told GOP power brokers that Trump lacked the "judgement" to be president, Kellyanne Conway who runs Cruz's Keep the Promise I super PAC justified RNC plans to strip Trump of the nomination at a brokered convention even if he wins the most votes and plurality of delegates
KC: No, it's not cheating.
Chris Matthews: The candidate who gets the plurality of votes - the most votes should be the nominee?
KC: No, I'd have to look at the math.
It is not cheating and more power to him. But don’t complain when Trump “attacks” Cruz. It’s part of the game, a clash was inevitable, and these are big boys playing to win.
I thought she was an independent pollster.
No worries eh?
Whew boy! This is the kind of trouble that having a SuperPAC can get you.
Didn’t she used to be a Fox blonde?
Every 4 years FReepers start screaming for a brokered convention.
If it isn’t cheating when we want one it isn’t cheating when we don’t.
Astonishing.
If that is the Cruz position (and I dont know 100% for certain), then if he’s in the same spot, I’m not shedding any tears if it happens to him.
Don’t brag about “standing up to the GOPe” and then say
“yeah, they can cheat” just because you think it might benefit you.
The latest BS.
Trump vs Cruz grudgematch.
Laughable.

Calling her a "pollster" is FRAUD/A LIE; she's on the Cruz team.
So did I; I guess that she USED TO BE ONE, but isn’t an unbiased pollster now.
Not a good sign.
I have no respect for, nor would I vote for, a opportunist who actually thought they could win after a brokered convention.
I do not care about the past. I would shun them.
Now we have seen the opportunist TPP/amnesty flipflopping cruz’s real colors. Especially with his donor comments.
At least Carson has his honesty. Cruz is a pawn (maybe a useful idiot if he thinks they’ll actually put him on the ticket), of his establishment donors, who will back an establishment candidate that’s ‘acceptable’.
I think the headline is misleading in that it wasn’t Cruz it was a Cruz super pac and the media is trying to stir the pot
I have been attacking the “plurality” principle for nominations since it became clear how it was working for Romney.
It makes zero sense to declare a guy with 29% the “winner” if 71% are unalterably opposed to him.
MAYBE in a final election (although I prefer runoffs to get to 51%), but in a nomination contest with multiple points of view and multiple candidates contending, if you get 29% of the votes you should get 29% of the delegates, more or less, and if after that process nobody has 50% + 1 (although I would go back to the 67% rule in a second), then let the convention work it out.
The delegates aren’t just there for the hookers, at least in theory.
Donald Trump dissed evangelicals by noting that most Cubans are Catholic.
Don’t worry Ted you won’t have make any “agonizing” decisions during the convention. Rest easy fella.
Or did he dis Catholics? Or did he dis Cubans? Someone help me out here please.
