Exclusive Audio - Rubio Campaign Manager Plots Brokered Convention In Manhattan Donor Meeting To Take Nomination From Trump
Posted on 03/02/2016 9:17:28 PM PST by onyx
Last Wednesday evening in NYC, according to CNN, Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan met privately with a group of supporters, top donors to chart Rubio’s path forward heading into Super Tuesday after abysmal performances from Rubio so far. During the meeting, Sullivan walked Rubio’s money men through the scenario he envisions he will use to stop Trump.
An audio recording of Sullivan giving the powerpoint presentation obtained exclusively by Breitbart News shows Sullivan plotting for a brokered convention.
“That is – I know if you watch the cable shows, they’re pretty breathless right about now that this is it, nothing is stopping Donald Trump,” Sullivan says at the opening of his remarks on aiming for brokered convention. “He can’t be stopped. He has got more momentum, this is it. It is over.”
But, Sullivan argued in the pre-Super Tuesday session: “5.3 percent of the delegates allocated in this thing. We have 94.7 percent remaining. You need to get to 1,237 delegates to win this thing.”
LISTEN TO THE AUDIO RECORDING:
The presentation came the day after Trump destroyed the rest of the field in Nevada among every demographic including Hispanics. Rubio finished more than 20 percent behind Trump, getting only 7 delegates—half of Trump’s 14 delegates. That was an embarrassing finish for Rubio, who spent much of his childhood in Las Vegas and emphasized the Silver State...

GRRR!
FUMR!!
The nominee has to get a majority of delegates. If Trump accomplishes this, he’s the nominee.
If he doesn’t on the first ballot, they keep voting until someone does.
Let’s demand a DOT urinalysis for Marco. If he has drugs in his system, throw him out.
Hope Trump doesn’t have to do a ConservativeAnalysis.
But delegates are NOT required to back who voters did after the first ballot, as GOPe "fixer" Ben Ginsberg said yesterday...
GOP Establishment Reveals Plan to TAKE DOWN Trump… And Hand White House to Hillary
>>>But delegates are NOT required to back who voters did after the first ballot
Yep, otherwise, if they were, there would be no nominee.
Think about it: First ballot: 33/33/33. Second ballot: 33/33/33. Rinse and repeat.
FUMR!!
Ummm...I agree, but *which* MR? "Binders full of women" who lost to Candy Crowley and Obama, or Gang of 8 Foam Boy?
Very interesting to listen to.
Rubio has sewn up the weasel vote.
Trump will have the largest count of delegates at a brokered convention. He will also have received the largest number of votes. The GOPe will rob him of the nomination. If that happens. the GOP will commit political suicide. Millions will not vote not only handing Hillary the nomination but also decimating the Reps in Congress.
I am sure that Trump is well versed in how to persuade people to change their mind. Also, I doubt that the GOPe can do much to surprise him given he has years of dealing with NY labor leaders, mob guys, and NY politicians just to get his projects permitted and built.
Has ANYONE gotten this to TRUMP?? We have to be his eyes and ears folks!!! I am not a techie so someone who is get this into Trumps campaign!!!
>>>I am sure that Trump is well versed in how to persuade people to change their mind.
Then he has no worries. Either he wins on the first ballot or he illustrates the Art of the Deal.
But this bit about having to win a majority of delegates like anyone else or it is unfair to Trump is BS.
These GOPe elitists are playing with fire. Now I can’t stand Trump either (for entirely different reasons than the GOPe), but if he wins the vast majority of primaries and the nominate another candidate over him (especially someone like Rubio) all hell will break loose. Republican voters would revolt. The GOP will lose at least half of their registered voters and Trump in case like that would run third party, ensuring Hillarys election.
That’s pretty much my take too.
Here’s a guy that has had to do things very similar to what his job is going to entail as president.
Multi layers of national and international management teams. Having to negotiate under circumstances like what you’ve outlined there.
High pressure. Needing to come up with a good outcome to get the job done with a good bottom line.
The guy is a natural for the position.
He’ll hit the ground running better than just about anyone could have.
Some of his advisers will be people he has worked with for years on much the same tasks, financial planning and outcomes.
Love it.
