“This isn’t marbles. Fair play, by the rules, is not based on what’s popular.”
The American people are beside themselves with anger and contempt, over the way the Republicans have betrayed us during the last seven years. They’re in no mood to have The Rules ‘explained’ to them by a pack of thieving whores who’ve already sold them out to the globalist elites. They want their damned country back, and see only one guy in the race who looks like he can remotely get it done without bbloodshed.
If the people want one thing, and the political elites want another, there’s going to be tension. Great tension. If the political elites decide their party Rules trump the broad will of the people, there will be a revolt.
I believe this whole narrative - that Trump probably won’t reach 1237, and that it’s therefore anyone’s game in an open convention, is a false premise being foisted on the public in hopes of creating a self fulfilling prophesy.
The GOPe desperately doesn’t want Trump (or Cruz), but yet the voters clearly do. Their only hope of stopping an outsider from winning is to cast doubt on the inevitability of Trump winning, so that the other candidates stay in the race and split the votes.
The best way to cast doubt on the inevitability of a Trump win is to keep talking about how fickle the delegates are, how quickly the convention would unravel, etc..
The bottom line is, I believe things are looking a lot better for Trump than the GOPe would have us think. 1237 no problem.
