How will you know that Trump has surpassed 1237 before the actual vote? Remember the unpledged. Cruz will try every trick in the book.
Well, if Trump gets to 1237 and we find out he didn’t get the nomination, then I’ll get angry.
I refuse to get in a foamed mouth frenzy just because someone claims something might happen. This nonsense has to stop!! I’m so done with both these candidates and their supporters. Yes, I back Cruz over Trump for the nomination. But I refuse to let innuendo and claims and tabloid trash work me into a lather!!
Each man has the right to state their case and work for delegates within the rules established by the GOP whether we like the rules or not. Neither man is the anti Christ . They’re both flawed human beings fighting for a prize which only one will get. And, at least for now, it looks like it’ll be Trump.
I have no doubt the GOP isn’t fond of a Trump nomination. The dirty little secret is they feel the same way towards Cruz
I can’t disagree with anything you wrote.
Everyone stand back!!!

“Each man has the right to state their case and work for delegates within the rules established by the GOP whether we like the rules or not.”
Agreed, ‘foamed mouth frenzy’ is never good, and each man does have the right to state their case and work for delegates. However, there is no reason they have to accept whatever rules the GOP dishes out.
There is no reason people have to accept the GOP at all. If enough people are dissatisfied with the existing GOP system of selecting nominees, they have several options: 1) make their dissatisfaction loud and clear, and hope that the GOP, in the interest of remaining relevant, adjusts and reforms its process, or 2) they can abandon the GOP and form a new party or take their chances operating outside of a party structure.
The GOP is a private organization, and as such, it can set its own policies, but it does have various stakeholders it must please, just as a corporation must please it’s stockholders, customers, vendors, employees etc. they are all essential, they can all withdraw their stake, so they must all be kept satisfied.
The voters may not be the only stakeholders in the GOP, but they are like the customer base. Ultimately, the GOP needs to keep the customers happy.
I think a lot of people are learning a lot in 2016 about the whole nominee selection process - a lot of words - primary vs. caucus, bound vs. unbound, 1st, 2nd, 3rd ballot, WTA vs. proportional, plurality vs. majority - I don’t know how it will all shake out, but I think it’s a good thing that it’s getting questioned.
