Where was all this alarm when it came to re-electing comrade
dictator obama in 2012? By then he had established himself as the worse president in the history of the country.
This race is not over. If Cruz starts winning and overtakes Trump, will you still feel the same?
“Will The Republican Establishment Steal The Election From Donald Trump?”
I think the real question is “Will The Democrat Establishment Steal The Election From Donald Trump?” and I don’t think their apparatus of fraud, complicit media, etc. will be in place well enough soon enough to be able to pull it off without being detected, disrupted and eventually busted.
...despite being the choice of most Republican voters.
This seems to be a condition that is vanishingly unlikely to be true, even if the field of active candidates were to narrow to Trump vs. Cruz, only, today. Thus far, Trump is the choice of a plurality in the range of 32% to 45% of voters in Republican primaries and caucuses. The phrase "most Republican voters" denotes a majority, not a plurality.
Ted Cruz has no chance of getting to 1237 unless Trump and Kashick drop out immediately. He will be far short of the required delegates. He is nothing but a spoiler at this point.
You Cruz supporters are voting for a candidate who cannot win unless Trump and Kashick drop out immediately. Cruz is now helping the GOP to get their coveted open convention. Cruz will not be part of their deal. They hate Cruz more than Trump. Cruz is nothing more than a useful idiot for the GOP right now. If you truly want to strike a death blow to the Republican cartel, then STOP VOTING FOR TED CRUZ!
Someone, either before the convention, or at the convention will get 1237 or more delegates to vote for him. That person will be the winner. This may not be the person with the plurality of the votes.
In my opinion the only two people who should get the nomination is either Trump or Cruz, based on States win etc. If Trump comes in with the most delegates, and losses to Cruz, then Mr. Greatest Negotiator in the World will have to congratulate Cruz for doing a better job making a deal.
If Trump gets 1237 delegates, he’ll “probably” be the nominee. He probably needs at least 50 more to keep shenanigans from happening.
If he gets 1236 delegates, he won’t be the nominee. The Convention is run by the party apparatus. The art of the deal of the 2nd ballot won’t be Trump’s deal. My guess is that upwards of 25% of Trump’s delegates will be bound to him for round one but not ideologically allied with him and ready to bail for round two. In most cases the state party picks the delegates.
1236 allows the party to rightly claim that Trump was not the choice of the majority of voters, as represented by delegates.
Look. Trump can’t position himself as the antidote to the GOP and not expect them to push back. The rules for an open convention favor the House.
This is why Trump argued yesterday that the splinter strategy he adapted and co-opted from the establishment is now unfair to him. How can anyone get to a majority with so many candidates in the race? Even if this crowded field was essential to him amassing his delegates in the first place.
If Trump arrives in Cleveland with less than 1237, he will not be the nominee.
They have to steal it away. Trump doesn’t comply with the notion that elites are in place to protect the elite. Trump is campaigning on elite corruption with major issues that are supposed to be kept silent lest the people realize they could rise and eliminate the grip the elite has over their lives overnight.
Trump is an existential threat to their hold on power.
Look at who his enemies are and it becomes clear.
Yes, they will steal the nomination. They are already going to change the rules ahead of the convention. All this talk in plain sight and they think we will sit back and take their medicine. They have broken the party. History is being made.
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.
Just what about the “majority of delegates” rule for the past 39 conventions do bonehead Trumpbots not understand?
If the Convention is so rigged, why don’t Trump and his lemmings demand “enough Primaries, we are clearly in the lead, give me the nomination NOW”.
Anyone so afraid to actually go through the long established process, has no core confidence they can win fair and square!
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.

They are sure as hell going to try.
Pack for Cleveland. Bring your pitchforks.
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:-)
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.
All FReepers that TRULY care about this country MUST see this video in order to really understand what is happening!!!
