“Melania is very pretty but Ivanka is just smokin.... just sayin... I may be married but I ain’t blind...”

I’m certainly not disagreeing with you! :-)

[Tennessee Nana]

Ryan thinks hes in the House the congress critters are asked if they want to change their vote..

[VerySadAmerican]

Ryan is part of this. As he walked onto the stage he could be heard saying “I’m not ready yet.” Then he killed time waiting on Alaska.

The elites are sabotaging it! They’re either giving it to Hillary or making an excuse for Trump losing.

[Kevin in California]

Rince looks shitfaced.

[MIA_eccl1212]

Alaska is attempting to use a precedent to open up a second ballot.

[RoseofTexas]

We’re so screwed...tongue twist....oh boy!!

[proust]

Yep. weird.

Alaska Republican Party Rules - Section 15: Republican National Convention Delegate and Alternate Delegate Election

Sec 15(f)(9) If a Qualified Presidential Candidate drops out prior to the Republican State Convention, the percentage of national delegates pledged to that candidate shall be reapportioned among the Qualified Presidential Candidates.

If Cruz et al dropped out, this seems to indicate Alaska has to reassign their delegates to the remaining candidate(s).

Otherwise according to 15(f)(3) the allocation is proportional to the vote, with a 13% minimum threshhold.

[SamAdams76]

Paul Ryan is such a doofus.

Now Reince is explaining the rules on why the AK delegates went to Trump. I though Cruz's people knew the delegate rules inside and out. So why are they kicking up such a fuss now?

[StAnDeliver]

Valid points, straight up. I just wonder out loud, though, what if PA is an outlier that no one sees coming. In your reasonable reply, one would assume that if Trump's landslide was such to include PA, then MI and WI would already be on the pre-election polling radar (say, three weeks out) and thus PA would be no surprise while Trump finishes with somewhere between 312-320.

But ... what if ... Pitt is close, and the suburbs go Trump ... and every single white man and woman left in the hills arises one last time ... the Green Line is soft for Cankles ... and she can't overcome using just rigged Philly.

[exit82]

Since only one candidate left running, bound votes shifted to candidate nominated.

Vote recorded by the Secretary stands.

[Enchante]

ha haaaa Alaska delegation didn’t know the rules????

[Baldwin77]

You da man, Reince !!! BWHAHAHAHA to Alaska !

[StAnDeliver]

Hey Alaska, eat reality ...

[Thibodeaux]

neil cavuto is at the top of the list

most of the malcontents don’t realize their personal self esteem is really not of value to Fox that is fair and balanced

Fox is not a far right purist conservative propaganda channel

[trisham]

App ah latch ah?

[bray]

1725 Trump!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Ryan: “Donald Day Trump.”

[AmericanMermaid]

Thank you! Forgot her & you’re right! (I like her, too. :D )

[lodi90]

Rinse & Ryan shut down the tantruming Cruzers from Alaska. LOL.
