The shi’ite may soon hit the fan.
I was not interacting on my own thread because I was engaged in other activities and was not on FR.
HST, I have read every post, and have responded to those I felt needed a response.
HSAT, the source of the article is not that important, IMHO.
What is important is the reaction to the article. If, for example, those of us who support The Donald spend the time and energy to work for his nomination and election as POTUS, then I have accomplished my objective.
Not gonna happen. Period.
“Cruz pledges his 600 delegates to Trump putting him over the top again.”
Perhaps, but I’m guessing that if these numbers are correct, most of them are Cruz supporters trying to get Cruz in, rather than a Romney or somebody like that.
I would need to look at what the rules are, but I always thought that it was up to the individual STATES on how the delegates are required to vote. There are about four states (North Dakota is one), where the delegates can vote their conscience if they like.
Here in the state of Washington, all of our delegates are Cruz supporters - but they are required to vote for the winner of the state’s primary (Trump) on the first ballot. I’m not sure what happens to them if they don’t though. Do their votes go to Trump anyway as required. Do they get fined? Dumped from the GOP? Get their Republican bumper sticker torn off?
Anyway - I’m thinking it is a state thing, not something that can be changed at the Convention. But I might be wrong.
The day a handful of punks who have been young republicans to include females who provide sexual favors to old men run us voters they lose-not us.
That is my opinion also
A legal defense fund? Whoa. So they know they are doing wrong. Can Trump’s legal team compete with a crowd-funded defense team?
I wish I could just enjoy the drama without being sick that this is happening in my country.
You all wouldn’t leave when I said to (wearing tsarist jewelry tonight).
If we had, a year ago, we would not have this mess, and we would have had enough people for a third party.
But you let the Iran deal go through without quitting the party. And fast track for TPP. Nothing will matter now. Quit if you like now but we are already cooked by the New World Order.
I am not in favor of armed rebellion over this. This is party betrayal, not covered by the Constitution or the warnings of the Founders. Tell me if I’m wrong. And it wouldn’t be successful anyway. A lot of blood shed for nothing. I am not a coward. Just saying.
The main witch mentioned is the Colorado woman who decided the population of Colorado did not need to vote in the Rep primary. She and other did their voting before the actual public did. If you recall the voters in Colorado were highly PO’d.
No one wants to get in a shootout over these idiots. The issue would only come up if Trump is totally dumped. We the voters choose him and it is high time we run this damn country as our founding fathers conceived.
You say you’re not a coward yet you cower at the idea of defending your rights? Interesting doublespeak.
Only a third of the citizens of the colonies fought for our freedom and brought forth the United States of America. It appears only a third of our countrymen are willing to fight for our rights and freedoms once again.
Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty. Samuel Adams
All 67 Republican County Chairmen have passed a resolution unanimously. All of Florida’s votes go to Trump.
I agree. Not gonna happen.
I have heard of Horn News. Read it often. Sometimes they have very interesting articles.
I HOPE THE GOP ROBS TRUMP AND PICKS SOMEONE ELSE.
THEN WE CAN PICK SOME OTHER N E W POLITICAL PARTY THAT WE CAN CREATE THAT IS REALLY AMERICAN....AND WANTS TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
.............................................................
Trump is the choice of the largest number of voting republicans in the history of the party. Wiser heads than yours understand that the way to make America Great Again is to flush the RINOs out of the party and STAND BY TRUMP.
I am also surprised at your tagline. IF you are a MARINE as you seem to claim, I must tell you I do not approve of your trashing the men who fought in Vietnam. Our fighting men WON THE BATTLES! It was the skinny assed, fat cats in Washington who TURNED VICTORY into DEFEAT. You are putting the blame on our men who fought by insinuating they didn’t fight to win. Time you studied some history and got your FACTS straight!
Who would you fight? The RNC?
What happens to America if the “Dump Trump” movement at the Republican Convention works?
Not gonna happen. Period.
Probably not. But if he was denied the nomination, he could run as an Independent and siphon votes from those Republicans who vote straight party tickets.
(The sad result would be a Clinton victory and our beloved country slips into the abyss).
I’m inclined to agree. I think we’re in a period of liberal ascension and dominance that will last much of this century. It was too late several years ago. So be it.
