At the end of April it will be impossible for Cruz to get to 1237 and he will keep going because the establishment only wants him to stop Trump.
They have no intention of letting him be the nominee.
Which means y'all can pat yourselves on the back for getting Hitlery elected, and for the ugly that will come from that. Good job! Glad to see y'all hate America so much.
Yup, it’s called a runoff, runoff the candidate with the majority of the votes and substitute someone the GOPe can control.
While the district delegates are officially at large, polling of them shows 2/3 of those running will vote their district. Assuming this is true, its safe to assume a relatively even split of the remaining 1/3 will be Trump or Cruz dedicated regardless of the district vote, State level delegates are bound by winner....
I am well aware of what is going on in PA... Quinn is a nice guy, but I would not bet my farm on his cheerleading. His reported “surge” is basically Trump is up 6, Cruz is up 10... and Trump is still up 9 overall in polling since last month.... And another poll that he ignored shows Trump at 47 to Cruz’s 29.... So I wouldn’t hold my breath of PA miraculously keeping Cruz from being unable to reach 1237 delegates in the primaries after 4/26.
The media, being the whores that they are, answering to their globalist pimps, will not allow THAT reality to stand. They have been tasked with pushing the meme so the convenjtion is deadlocked.
Words have meanings....even if we choose to use them incorrectly just because we chose too... :)
No one could hypothesize that Trumpy has run the type of race that has made him not mathematically, but in all probability "unlikely" to ever receive 1,237 delegates. No one can win a convention of delegates running the type of race he has run.
LOL... I like that.
GOPE machine is what helped Cruz win in WI.. unfortunately for Cruz, no such machine exists in the rest of the race...
I think Cruz is going to et the nomination. I mean, if I was going to bet money on it.... that’s where I would bet. It will be a contested convention. He’ll win it there. He’ll be the next republican to get a majority of delegates.... just like all of the other nominees before him. Man... Trumpy will be in full melt down, as will FR. I mean the servers here might burn up from all of the weeping and gnashing of teeth among his followers.... :)
There is spin.
Then there is delusion.
Trumpy has been swinging for the fences. (1,237 delegates during the primary). It's either he gets that, or he just hits the long flyball for the easy out. It's looking more like it's going to be the long flyball easy out. Don't you think?
Trump is the Hail Mary Pass.
Yep...
You like toast with your crow? Or perhaps crow with your toast? You have perhaps a couple months to develop a taste for it, but be sure of this: it’s on your menu.
That is hypothetically true.
At any rate, the point of my earlier remark was an attempt to prevent an argument that was based on a failure to notice mixed-definitions of "mathematically excluded."
-- But the fact is he is not eliminated from getting 1,237 delegates until someone else does. --
Under the conventional definition, it is possible for all candidates to become "mathematically excluded," unless a race has only two candidates from the get-go.
The conventional definition looks at the number of delegates a candidate has, and adds to that the number of delegates yet to be selected. If that total is less than 1237, then the candidate cannot get to 1237.
Then there is delusion.
I'll defer to your obvious expertise in that area.
My analysis says your assumptions are way off. Trump goes to the convention with no more than 1100 delegates, maybe less than 1000. Cruz ends up with over 1000, maybe more than 1100. In short, Trump and Cruz wind up with very comparable pledged delegate counts, but unlikely for either to be over 1237.
This is where Cruz ACTUAL (as opposed to pledged) delegates come into play, once they have fulfilled their obligation to vote for Trump on the first ballot.
Nobody will be stealing the election. You may want to call it that, but everyone would see such a claim as just what it is: the sour grapes of a sore loser.
Remember this: The hallmark of a real loser is the habitual blaming of others for his own failures. Remind you of anyone?
Only because Cruz doesn't actually care about America. If he did, he would have been out of the race already. He, more so than Trump, has no path to nomination at this point, other than contested Convention. Which should be no surprise that he is willing to play dirty all through his campaign, right into the Convention. Sobeit. Cruz will need us Trump supporters to win. Us Trump supporters will be writing in Trump for POTUC, and voting 3rd party (or better yet, writing Trump in) the rest of the down ticket. This WILL be the end of the GOP, one way or the other.
I think the disagreement on mathematically eliminated actually comes from one saying “during the primaries” and the other saying “at the convention”. If both Trump and Cruz get their delegates to vote to keep rule 40, then it will be one of the two of them, and most likely it will be whichever can garner support from the delegates at the convention. If past history of close, or contested conventions is any indication, they will both be on the ticket.
No way trumpy would accept the vp slot. :)
