How is she distantly related to obama?
Also what do you see transpiring if Donald does not get to 1,237?

I have no idea. Is someone saying that?

Also what do you see transpiring if Donald does not get to 1,237?

First, a lot will depend on how close he comes. Trump will called upon to use his negotiating skills and his considerable leverage to convince the GOP that it would be committing political suicide by disenfranchising the millions of new voters Trump has brought to the party.

Trump's argument will be that he has won the most states, most votes, and the most delegates, by far. He also has increased voter participation in the primaries to record levels. Yes, there are rules, but there is also common sense. If the "rules" steal the nomination from Trump, what happens to the 37% of the voters who have supported him? Polls show that the majority of the voters believe that the candidate who received the most delegates and votes should be the nominee regardless of the 1,237 number.

Trump will play hardball and could ultimately bolt the party if he believes he is being treated unfairly. The GOPe will have won a Pyrrhic victory.

If someone other than Trump or Cruz gets the nomination, you will have a bloodbath on the floor of the convention.
