If Trump gets stripped at the convention-(DON'T BLAME THE ESTABLISHMENT)

[SlimTrae]

Next week, thousands will come here to Ohio.
They are the Republican delegates.

What I've learned is that there is a SERIOUS discrepancy in their rules.
#1. There are state rules.
#2. Then there is the RNC rules.

IMO, they literally contradict each other. State rule for example claims a bound rule (about 19 states enforce it).
Problem is that 160 years for Republicans....not one state that took such issues to court ruling had state rule supersede party rule.

[SlimTrae]

So who is Trump's biggest foes? Simple answer, Delegates.

Critical to know about thes delgates.
2 movements will converge.
1. NeverTrump 2. Free the delegates.
These 2 groups aren't liberals, mainstream media. They are common people.

GOP officials are fighting them. Yes, ESTABLISHMENT Republicans...are fighting to prevent them from unbinding. Fighting to keep Trump.

The RNC is so in support of Trump- under a dude named Bruce Ash--attempted to make an amendment to block candidates from the first nomination process.
In other words.... If Anti Trump delegates stopped Trump...they wouldn't be able to nominate on the floor.
It failed.

Final- To all outside the U.S.--- The magic number is 28 out of 112.
28=a vote to unbind all delegates.

[SlimTrae]

Again...it isn't establishment politicians fighting Trump. An establishment politician yesterday tried to back Ash up by motion to (freeze) RNC rules. That failed as well.

Yes there are active politicians against Trump, but so are a number of Right Wing conservative writers, bloggers to talk show host and many Evangelicals But they are in the same boat as Liberals to mainstream media...that being....

Jack squat to stop Trump.

It is a fight between ....
Strictly between
...Republican delegates arguing to enforce State rules
or
an old party rule that allows dissent of a candidate binding vote.

If Trump somehow loses his nominee:
Man up, don't punk out, reassign blame.
Blame the fighting delegates elected to represent your choice.

Delegates and their convention rules can go suck swan's eggs.

[El Kabong]

The uproar this would cause....I would fear for the safety of those at the convention even more than I already am.

Both conventions will probably have to quell minor riots....HOPEFULLY minor riots.

[SlimTrae]

Suck Deviled eggs maybe?

As for uproar, Colonel Sanders went to bat for Clinton whilst she continously nodded like a bobble head.

What a shame we may have to witness republican on republican violence.

Ruh roh..someone gave poor Melania a Michelle Obama speech to read

Yeah, they don't care.


Most interesting to me is how many establishment politicians are speaking. Here at saddo, christie has been ripped..well..... he spoke last night...seats were empty.
Gingrich called establishment, he speaks.

In 2008 Rudy G was accused of having a sanctuary city for illegals.. He spoke. Where are the alumni from his university? No billionaire peers to attest to his business savvy? No libertarians endorsement?
Sarah Palin no show
Just a gold digging wife backing her 70 year old sugar daddy ...his kids...and establishment republicans.




Don't think. ..vote Trump!

[El Kabong]

Betty Ford didn't graduate college, she was a dancer at Bennington College before moving to NYC to dance with Martha Graham. There's certainly no shame in not being a college graduate especially with what is taught now.


I think Melania's speech is a bit of showmanship, it's sandbagging the RNC so that the spotlight really shines when The Donald takes center stage.....plagiarism isn't a huge issue I mean if it was would Joe Biden be Vice President? Would Barack Obama be President? Come on. It's a PLANTED controllable issue obviously a ruse to get people unsettled and when Trump makes his speech and the crowd goes apeshit and starts to believe in him the boost he's going to get after this convention.....it'll be nuts.

I am undecided on what to think of the never-Trump crowd, either they're sandbagging too or they're really salty about Ted Cruz or they're unable to be appeased politically....odd group that.


I tell you who REALLY has had some troubles lately is Glenn Beck.....wow, is the shine off that apple, woah boy.

[brocktonblockbust]

Who cares about the " Republican" who called.for Hillary Clinton to be shot?. FFS I'm calling for her to be shot!

[El Kabong]

Well Ted Cruz has apparently decided to commit career suicide

I don't understand his thought process, politically it makes very little sense, he's alienaTED(couldn't help myself) himself and it plays right into Trump's hands and/or Hillary's hands it doesn't do anything for Ted. Former Cruz supporters are now more likely to vote Trump because though they supported Cruz at the start they aren't going to NOT vote or vote 3rd/4th party and allow Hillary Clinton a clear shot at the White House.


Ted Cruz has given his followers the option....support Cruz and do ?? or support Trump and try to keep the Clinton's from getting back in office.


I think The Donald will need to really hit at the whole Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Clinton idea hard eventually....this is America, we don't do royalty

[SlimTrae]

Logical....and Trump on the same thread. ..laughable.
