Trump (Page 31)

I've been deliberately absent from this discussion, lately.  Why am I being drug back into it??

Bernie for president because hes not a poopy head.  ok case closed, you can all return to not being angry and taking your ball home.

You leaving too?? 

I'm just waiting for all the 'casual' fans to blow themselves up.   The media  headlines do all my talking for me! 

Eurica!!

Cruzvegas has lumped us together-we must be doing something right!

I thought for a minute you guys were gonna leave me alone with just dmiller aggravating the hell out of me.

He started it.

I don't think this can be understated.  dmiller is a real problem here. 

its time for all you old people to move aside and let the new generation fix all the problems you created.  Now everyone inhale, and say OMMMMMMMMMM

now that we all love eachother and are vegan, time to start some real progress.

slow clap

Ah crap... Now I gotta leave again...

So, I have to ask: What are you doing now with all this free time?

Sitting at home crying because I miss you guys so much.

It is funny that every time I read an interesting political article I want to come over here to discuss.  I'm in a couple other forums that are more like 90/10 split with conservatives and I'm usually considered the raging liberal.  It's just not as fun when everybody agrees on everything.

I agree.

Wait, no I don't.

Then again.

Wait.....what?

So the Donald is rounding the corner coming down the final stretch, so I'm curious what you guys predict is going to happen.

I always felt comfortable that he was going to win the most delegates, but I didn't really take into account the "majority" of delegates of 1237 because once a clear winner emerges the other candidates always drop out and it becomes a done deal.  This year (right or wrong) Cruz is being a bit of a turd and not dropping out so it's quite likely that Trump is not going to get the 1237 necessary.

So, if it goes to the convention which is increasingly likely IMHO I think there's a zero chance that Cruz will get the nomination and I honestly don't know if Trump will either.  There's no question that the powers that be do not want him to get it, but I'm fairly certain Trump will go third party if he doesn't which will certainly doom the Republicans in November.  If they try to put in a Bush or Rubio it will be a complete joke.

It is certainly going to be interesting, that's for sure.

I'm fairly certain there is a rule that says you can't get the BOP nomination unless you've won at least 8 states.  That disqualifies anyone other than cruz or drumpf

That is correct, but they have another meeting to "review and change" the rules prior to the convention.  It would be perfectly legal and allowable for them to remove that rule if they wanted to.  Obviously there would be political ramifications for doing so.

I think it would be very interesting for me if it finishes with Trump and Cruz winning 90% of the total delegates (about the percent it is now) and the Party still choosing to give the nomination to somebody else.

Remember this, if nothing else, going into the convention - there are no rules.  The rules that they are currently operating under only go to the conventions.  First item of business at the convention is to promulgate rules for the convention.  Number one thing on the rules committee's agenda, get rid of the 8 state delegate threshold.
