Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump continues to increase his lead in national polls and accumulate more delegates than his opposition. At this point, Trump is the clear choice of conservative voters to be the Republican nominee and presidential candidate.
While many of his harshest critics have accepted his status as the likely Republican nominee – efforts persist to stop him.
If Trump gains 1,237 delegates prior to the start of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio on July 18th, he clinches the nomination.
If Trump doesn’t reach 1,237 delegates prior to the convention – he could be denied the nomination via a contested convention despite being the choice of most Republican voters.
Will The Republican Establishment Steal The Election From Donald Trump?
No because his margin of victory will be far too large for even the Democrats to steal. 15% of Blacks won’t show up another 20% will actually vote for Trump and Democrats as a whole will vote 20% for Trump. That will off set 14% of Republicans who say they will vote for Hillary and be a net + 6 right there. All of that = LANDSLIDE for Trump.
False
They are sure as hell going to try.
Pack for Cleveland. Bring your pitchforks.
Heh, to all Trump supporters. Trump Rally at Cleveland, Bring pitchforks
No, what they have is no confidence that the GOPe establishment will play "fair and square". Isn't that fairly obvious? When they openly discuss changing the rules in the middle of the game, when they openly talk of ways to stop the candidate that is getting unusually large crowds and support, don't you think people have reason to be somewhat skeptical about the "process", and whether it will be on the up and up?
But, saying that the Republicans are stealing the nonination from him if he doesn’t get enough delegates but still doesn’t win is being a sore loser.
Yeah, lets rig the game so no grass roots person can ever possibly win, and then call them a sore loser. You do realize the primary is rigged don’t you?
Only if they want to lose all the down ballot elections and thus the House and Senate. ANd if that happens, it will be the GOPe that killed the GOPe, not Trump.
With all of Trump’s security they aint gonna steal crap:-)
Cruz isn’t going to win anything. His heyday is over after Utah.
Trump is on track to win 1237+ delegates.
What would be his motivation to drop out?
Well you don't know if he can win yet because it isn't over. But the establishment man is long gone and so is the establishment back up. So if the game truly was rigged, they would be in.
I was listening to to the Bill Bennett show this morning on the way to work. They had a caller alluding to trump being a racist. Zero facts mind you but he was allowed many minutes to make the charge. The guest host let the caller go on with him chiming in that it was the area where Trump grew up in Brooklyn which just indicted all of Brooklyn as racist. A caller came on and called out Megan Kelly and others for allowing the charge of racism with no facts and letting it pass. The guest host said he had not heard that interview but gave her the benefit of the doubt as she may have been occupied (I think he meant staying focus on the next question instead of shutting down the guest).
I have not heard so many radio hosts trying to defeat Trump.
Name the primary states Ted has won besides Texas and Oklahoma.
You’re a true believer. You think Ted’s winning, even when he’s losing.
“After Utah and Arizona, will Trump drop out?”
I’m sure you know how ridiculous that sounds. Why’d you even say it?
Simple, if it’s the 5th inning in a baseball game and the score is 7 to 4, do you tell your team to forfeit.
I’ve seen it written for Cruz to drop so I figured I’d just throw that out there.
Plus come convention time with the way Trump has treated all the other candidates I don’t think he’ll receive to many cross over delegates. Quite the contrary actually.
“...if it’s the 5th inning in a baseball game and the score is 7 to 4, do you tell your team to forfeit.”
Be nice for Cruz If it were as simple as just getting four runs in by the bottom of the ninth, but it’s not. Not even close.
At this point he’s got to get something like 89% of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination. That’s not even remotely doable, given the fact that he’s performed weakly in every primary state except Texas and Oklahoma.
The contest is 60% over, and there are only two caucus states left. Ted has done well in caucus states, so he’ll likely win those, but that’s it. He has to pray for a miracle everywhere else.
Point in fact, the game *was* rigged, from the start, in an absurd attempt to push Jeb Bush into the nomination with only a plurality of the vote. It was cleverly done, but intricate plan.
Enter Donald Trump. He was not really on the radar of those who crafted this clever and intricate plan. From jump, he was a wild card that could have endangered this plan, and so he did. The folks who crafted this plan have yet to recover from this debacle, and it shows.
They are *still* trying furiously to salvage something, anything at all, from the wreck Donald Trump has made of their scheme at the beginning of this election season. We all owe Donald Trump a 'thank you' for his demolition of this pernicious scheme, regardless of whether or not you think he should be the nominee, because had he *not* entered the race at all, we would be looking at 'front runner Jeb Bush'...

We’ll just have to agree to disagree in the top choice. Times they are a changing: In many states the majority of voters now register as Independents which is why they have Modified Primaries. I have no problem with capturing their support or Dems for a Republican candidate. No problem at all. We will need all those votes in November to triumph over the illegals, deceased and multiple voters. And lets not forget the computer fraud vote flips. Every vote Counts!
However, I feel it is very clear that the many more republican voters have voted for Trump, than Cruz. In Florida, a Closed Primary, he beat Ted by more than 600,000 votes. Florida is very representative of the rest of the USA. It has large groups of minority demographics and retirees from the Northeast and Midwest. Florida has military bases, several big cities, and rural areas. Trump beat the nationally favored candidate -Jeb! and Rubio on their home turf.
In Texas, a once very Conservative state, Trump earned over 750,000 votes; and that’s 30% right in Cruz’s backyard. In Ohio, 500,000 more chose Trump over Cruz. As an evangelical Christian, Ted should have won the South. The in depth polling reveals that more devout Christians and Conservatives chose Trump. Jerry Falwell’s endorsement was huge and like Falwell, I believe that Trump ‘has our back’ and will deliver on his promises.
The last two paragraphs of your message is completely untrue. If you actually believe what you have written, then why would you compromise your pure conscious with a yes vote for DJT? If your intended message is one of persuasion, it fails miserably. I can guarantee you that posts like yours will not change the hearts & minds of Trump’s supporters.
