“Excuse me, but the nomination doesn’t go to the person with the most delegates. It goes to the first person to secure a majority of the delegates. “

Yep, and if a pedestrian is run over and killed whilst legally crossing a street without looking both ways first, they were totally in the right. But they are still dead.

Just like the GOP will be dead if they annoint a non-starter nominee, though, of course, none of the “rules” might be broken. Rules I might add that are 100% changeable at the start of the convention. Which really means there are no rules, just raw power politics in which what the rank-and-file GOP voters might want is 100% irrelevant. So, shall we find out what the GOP voters who are in open rebellion will do if the GOPe power elite anoint one of their own again? Shall we?

Question:

What if Trump fails to secure a majority on the 1st ballot...and the convention nominates Cruz on the 2nd ballot?

Where do you stand?
