And you think a convention controlled by establishment RINOS under establishment RINO rules (that can be manipulated at their will) will appoint a constitutional conservative that they absolutely hate to be their establishment RINO standard bearer?

Cruz should team up with Trump to ensure this can never happen.

ROFL!!!!

Yeah ... I thought that was a great idea.

In December.

Then the feces-flinging got started. Trump himself has a lot of feces-flinging to apologize for if that's going to happen.

The delegates are not RINOs by being a delegate.
They are people.
In many instances, chosen by the candidate’s campaign.

And, the delegates control the convention.
The delegates control the rules committee.
The delegates will pick the nominee.

It has always worked this way, it works quite well usually.
The RINO’s power comes from fooling the electorate and getting THEIR delegates in there with their candidate.

That is not the case here.

We are looking at Cruz/Trump’s delegates controlling the game. We’ve already won the battle. Now its time to pick our leader.

Whom is best equiped to lead us to victory in November. Whom stands behind what we believe in, and has a record to stand on supporting those very principles. Someone we can trust will nominate rock solid folks to the US Supreme Court. Someone whom we can trust will defend the life of the unborn. Someone whom we can trust will stand FIRM behind the US Constitution, using it as the guiding principle and restoring its authority to the executive branch.

We need someone whom we know will not waver in the coming battle. Someone whom has known who they are for most of their adult lives.

The GOPe has lost. Its over for them. They are in “latch on” mode at this point. There is literally not a thing they can do given the delegate counts at this point.

Cruz or Trump will be the nominee. End of story. Lets get on to the convention and select the best leader for the party going forward and be done with this fighting and bickering.

I totally get it but Trump is NOT conservative. He said he’d keep planned parenthood, he’d promote LGBT issues (unbelievable), he’s for touchback amnesty (WTF), he likes TARP, he’s barely doing anything to the tax code and never once said get rid of the IRS, he thinks our abortion laws and gay laws are laws of the land...

these are just a few of his positions that I can remember. Plus all the donations to libtards. What about his donation to Kamala Harris (along with his daughter) who is the main supporter of sanctuary cities!?

Cruz has a ton of fight in him. I do not see the gope being successful in overriding Trump or Cruz in the convention. They have to get rid of rule 40 and I don’t see that happening either.

Bottom line, let the top 2 fight it out all the way to the end...what’s the purpose of saying one has to drop out now?

If the number of Trump loyalist delegates plus the number of Cruz loyalist delegates is greater than 1237, then the GOPe won't control the convention.
