I think we are watching kabuki theater...public statements are one thing, but we know Manafort and others are working behind the scenes as well and we will not know the result of those discussions until they are completed.
The Big Mo is rolling down the Trump Train way, and these yuggee wins will not go unnoticed by the RNC, along with the massive number of new R voters and crossovers.
Trump will show the RNC there is much more for them to gain by working with him than not. If they try pulling some crap to try to steal the nomination from him, what will they gain? We know they will lose a LOT, including most likely control of Congress...would YOU vote for GOPe Republicans if they use procedural trickery to give the nomination to Kasich, Jeb, or Ryan?
I’ve always been convinced their “support” for Cruz is merely an illusion, they used Cruz and Kasich to try to prevent Trump from getting to 1237. But that is strictly a 2nd+ round play, and as Manafort has always said, “there will not be a 2nd round, or a 3rd...”. The RNC also has a lot of control over those delegates and then there’s the pot of Rubio delegates out there.
Many reasons to remain optimistic!
Good analysis, bigbob!
Hi, I think I may know what the term Kabuki Theater means, but you could please spell it out for me. Is it a fake to make us watch one thing, while another is going on?
