How the Republican Elite will Steal the Nomination from Donald Trump
Lame Cherry ^ | March 27, 2016 | Lame Cherry

Posted on 03/27/2016 11:48:04 AM PDT by Art in Idaho

Let me explain something in all of you should follow this link and actually read the Republican Rule Book as it is online and available.

There has been some intrigue taking place behind the scenes in the GOPliters, and you have witnessed reports of John Kasich and Ted Cruz bribery of delegates in states to steal the from Donald Trump. That is what is taking place, along with the stunning news of Rule 40b no longer applies to this convention in a delegate must win 8 states to be in the nomination process, and this after it was sworn to by the GOP, including Reinse Priebus, in respectable publications as Forbes, Rick Ungar,, and it was NEVER CORRECTED, when it was designed to gain Mitt Romney in 2012 or Jeb Bush the nomination in 2016 AD in the year of our Lord.

According to the GOP rule book, the rule cannot be changed until the Republican National Committee holds its convention meeting in 2016. Unlike 2012 when Governor Romney had sufficient delegate strength to stack the rules committee, absent a candidate emerging with the capability to achieve majority wins in states throughout the nation, the 2016 rules committee gathering will bear representatives from the many candidates still in the game—meaning anything can happen.

Now suddenly, Reinse Priebus is being quoted along with these other schemers that Rule 40b no longer applies as the Washington Examiner in David M. Drucker, part of this new intrigue has released the real plot in the talking points.

This has led to erroneous reporting that only Trump has satisfied requirements for having his name placed in nomination at Cleveland, while Cruz and Kasich still have not. The misunderstanding stems from perplexity about the rules process. Every four years, a rules committee comprised of elected convention delegates (about two from each state and territory delegation) meets during the week just prior to the convention to determine the regulations that will govern the convention. Every convention rules committee approves a rules package that includes regulations that determine eligibility for candidates to have their names placed in nomination on the convention floor. Those rules apply only to that particular quadrennial convention.

In other words, they are moving the goal posts on the victor Donald Trump. Yes when Mitt Romney wanted to steal the Vice Presidency from Ron Paul at the 2012 AD in the year of our Lord convention, then the rules committee followed Mitt Romney's subterfuge, but when it comes to Donald Trump, the GOPliters are being Cassius in knifing Donald Trump in the back.

This is all about the way the Republican form of Government has been hijacked by the elites and NO ONE has explained this insider workings taking place, except the Lame Cherry again.......and not the booger backers allowed to post over at Conservative Treehouse and attack this blog and other bloggers.

There are three fights in this GOP convention. The Convention Masters in the rules committee who stack the convention. The Committeemen in charge of their delegates, as you see what Ted Cruz criminally conspired at in Louisiana, and then the floor managers of the convention who manage the delegates. What I just told you exclusively is from the inside in a group I will call Area 51 from the west, and they noticed that several eastern states like Louisiana, Tennessee and South Carolina will be hijacked from Mr. Trump. Literally, Donald Trump won South Carolina, but is being conspired against to not get one vote at the convention.

I am going to walk you through something here, which Donald Trump can file an injunction over and there will be a hearing at the Supreme Court, and it is the rewriting of the rules before the convention, because what is taking place would be like your football team going through the playoffs, getting to the Super Bowl, and the NFL with all the other teams voted in new rules for your team only, that you could only score points by running the ball, backwards, crawling and you must give all 11 players on the defense the chance to strip the ball, while your defense will only be allowed to walk and not run, and tackle with one hand.

That is what changing the rules is. It is a disenfranchisement of the majority of voters who have voted for Donald Trump or had their States stolen by Ted Cruz and John Kasich. It becomes more clear now for you to see, why they have been conditioning you with stories of Donald Trump falling short of delegates, and that is because states have had vote fraud, and Mr. Trump is having states like Louisiana and South Carolina stolen from him. Hillary Clinton has been engaged in this same criminal subversion of votes from New Hampshire to Arizona.

What the GOP operates as is each of your States has a Chair person, and a committeeman and a committeewoman. It is these three delegates who will arrive the week before the GOP convention to vote on the rules to steal this from Donald Trump. I urge you, because I have just done this in writing this article, is for each of you to look up your Republican State Party, find out who these three people are, and contact each of them, respectfully expressing your concerns and asking for them to explain exactly what they are going to be doing or expecting in this rules committee set up. This is our responsibility. This is something each of you can do at your state level to let the party heads know that you are aware of the situation and not pleased with the intrigue. I am not stating to avalanche mail your representatives, but if enough people start emailing, calling or writing respectfully, it will make them think twice about allowing any intrigue take place, as these delegates have to return to your communities and answer the majority of the voting population in their states as to why they subverted or allowed the subversion of the RNC.

I researched our three delegates and they are more right wing than I am if that is possible. Each of you though has to become involved, as voting for Donald Trump or posting things for Donald Trump, does not amount to a fiddler's damn, when it comes to talking to these key people, as these are the gatekeepers. Find affinity with them and then express your concerns.

No one else told you any of this, and you have to ask why all your other god sites have not alerted you to any of this, nor told you how this intrigue is taking place, and how you can do something to save America. You are going to have to repost this. You are going to have to find your representatives at your party level, contact them, and then you are going to have to get your friends to do the same thing over the next months. For God's sake though DO NOT publish the contact information of these committee people to antagonize them with a deluge of rants. In political terms, 1 contact is worth 1000 voters. Enough of you have family and groups you are a part of who could extend this out over the next months, as that is what needs to be done.

The GOPliters have now blurted out they are going to change the game, and have the rules to do it.

The Rules of the Republican Party, composed of the rules for the election and government of the Republican National Committee until the next national convention, the rules under which delegates and alternate delegates shall be allotted to the respective states in the next national convention, and the rules under which such delegates and alternate delegates shall be elected and under which contests shall be considered, and the rulesof business of this national convention

You have rule book, so read it, and use it for Donald Trump in working with him. Someday I will tell you all you owe to the sappers in wire, while your asstard minders attacked this blog and posted hate in comments, a select few were accomplishing things to make this all seem like this was easy.

If you are part of a union or group in your state with clout, then by all means see if you can get your leadership to contact your delegates, as that kind of weight matters, as political parties are not about to bitch slap your police union as they need those votes for you GOP candidates in every district.

I am warning all of you to not watch Rule 40 as it has been obliterated, but instead you be prepared for Rule 32 as that is the one in which the convention can be stolen from Donald Trump.

RULE NO. 32 Suspension of Rules A motion to suspend the rules shall always be in order, but only when made by authority of a majority of the delegates from any state and seconded by a majority of the delegates from each of seven (7) or more other states severally.

Rule 32 means 8 states can obliterate the rules and the oligarchs seize overt control. Do not put this past the GOPliters as they are working every angle, and the angle above in rewriting the rules for nomination, are the current gambit, as literally we do not know what this 2016 Convention rules are until the committee writes them. Literally, they could pass a Rule banning anyone who was not previously elected to office from receiving the nomination.

Looks like we can contact our Republican State delegates. Couldn't find a contact list for each state but at The Green Peppers site, they have a State Delegate Allocation List. Can also check at Contact your State Legislators Click your state and with some digging, may be able to contact your state RNC delegates.

It goes without saying that this election on November 8 is the most important in our lifetimes. Fight!

I am sure they will try, but hope they won’t succeed.

If Trump shows up with a plurality, and the GOPe engineer giving the nomination to anyone else, then welcome President Hillary the destruction of the Republican Party.

As a Cruz supporter: I’LL LEAVE.

"How the Republican Elite Democrat operatives will Steal the Nomination from Donald Trump"

Corrected. I refuse to see them as Republicans anymore because they are not in the slightest. Seriously, the gig is up, they are deliberately trying to get Hillary elected and it's going to be absolutely outrageous if we allow these DEMOCRATS to disrupt our own nomination process, there is going to a riot if these sleaze bags try to pull this BS.

Bears repeating from the article:

Let me explain something to you, Lame Cherry. If you read the rules, you sure didn't understand them. Nobody is moving the freaking goal posts.

There are no goal posts. Each convention votes in its own rules. Until they do, there are only suggested guidelines!

Donald Trump can file an injunction over and there will be a hearing at the Supreme Court,

No there won't be. The courts have ruled repeatedly that political parties make their own rules. Political association is still a choice in America. If you don't like the party rules, disassociate or change the rules by gaining a majority.

What I learned: It doesn’t matter if or how I vote. Confirmed what it has seemed like since 1992. Great.

Since Senor Rafael de Cruz is involved with stealing
delegates, his Chrisianity and Beck-announced
“annointing”, (more like appointing), is to my eyes,
a thin fence whitewashing.

My vote is for Trump.

If this GOP Cincinnati clusterbuck offers any seated
or past-due, out-of-date-backroom-circle-yank
politician, then the American voting populace
should declare open pitchfork season on all
names on that attendance roster, with their
pictures on every poster board in every supermarket.

I ditched and switched, to vote for Trump. If the
GOP does what they propose to do, I will ditch and
switch back, and vote for Gary Johnson on the
Libertarian ticket.

First off, I know for a fact that in SC, if you are elected as a delegate you have to vote on the first ballot for the winner of your district. Which in this case is Trump, after that if there are any other ballots taken, they are free to vote for whomever. Don’t like, then change the law in SC, then don’t whine when in four years or eight that rule now is working for the establishment. Second, every state has their own rules on how this works, how the delegates are chosen, how they are apportioned, etc. etc. So there is a legal framework in place. Second nowhere except the Northern Mariana Islands has trump scored a majority of voters, he has won a plurality. In America, we don’t have rule by the plurality, we don’t even have rule by majority. We have rule by majority of representation, meaning you have to win a majority of a specific group of majorities. I.E. The Electoral College.

Third, it is not a Bribe if it is legal, and offering incentives for a delegates support is technically legal. Where Trump is going to have problems is where Ted Cruz is in a position to failing the outright nomination, do what Ron Paul wanted to do in 2008, and 2012.

That was force the nomination into a second or third ballot, and have more of his supporters as delegates who would vote for him when it got three ballots in. Romney and McCain stopped that by winning it on the first ballot.

Wrong again. The Rules Committee votes on proposed rules that must be passed by the entire national delegation.

The Cruz scandal has destroyed the Gope’s plan. He might not win another state. Kasich by himself will not stop Trump.

I used to feel that way too, but no longer. I thought Trump would begin to act more Presidential as he accumulated delegates. He isn't. Acting like a 7th grader with the twitter crap is beyond counterproductive. I'm tired of the adolescent behavior.

Just to be clear -

There are two rules committees. One is the RNC Rules Committee, the other is the Convention Rules Committee. The RNC Rules Committee will meet in late April, AFAIK. Only the Convention Rules Committee requires a majority vote of convention delegates for changes.

But note that the Convention Rules Committee will adopt or reject or modify the rules put in place by the RNC, and those actions will require a majority convention vote.

As a Cruz supporter, I’ll be voting Trump because I want a first ballot victory for the most conservative candidate who can win on that first ballot. The alternative is an establishment pick on the second or a later ballot, and that would be much worse than Cruz or Trump.

I approve of both Cruz and Kasich staying in the race, since Kasich gives the establishment some hope, and Cruz splits the anti-Trump vote. I approve of Cruz maneuvering for delegates, as Kasich is doing, and as Trump is doing. That is how it has always been done, just like bluffing is accepted in poker. Their mutual efforts should (mostly) neutralize each other and cancel out.

RULE NO. 16 says that bound delegates must vote as bound on the first ballot.

As for rule 40b, read it carefully.

https://cdn.gop.com/docs/2012_RULES_Adopted.pdf (page number 39-40 on the pages; pdf file pages 43-44)

“RULE NO. 40 (b) Each candidate for nomination for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these rules or any rule of the House of Representatives, to demonstrate the support required of this paragraph a certificate evidencing the affirmative written support of the required number of permanently seated delegates from each of the eight (8) or more states shall have been submitted to the secretary of the convention not later than one (1) hour prior to the placing of the names of candidates for nomination pursuant to this rule and the established order of business.”

In the second round of voting, even Donald Trump would have to present evidence that he still has the support of a majority of delegates from eight or more states. Also, in the second round of voting, even Jeb could be nominated if he could present certifications from a majority of delegates from eight or more states. Rule 40 (b) does not contain a requirement for a majority of voters in the primaries.

Cruz has a majority of bound delegates in Texas, Kansas, Maine, Idaho, and Utah, for five of the eight he needs. If he gets three more states: including the Rubio delegates from Minnesota, Louisiana, or Puerto Rico; unbound delegates from Colorado, DC, American Samoa; or any of the remaining states, Cruz can be nominated in the first round too. Part of the purpose of unbound delegates is to negotiate with nominees for their support in exactly this manner.

These somewhat ugly rules are how the game is played, and I assume Trump is playing by the same rules. He’d better be proving mastery of The Art of the Deal, or he won’t win.

Horsesh*t. Primaries beget the election of delegates to represent the states at the national convention.

The rules concept is no different from how Congress operates by Constitutional design. Each Congress (and each convention) votes on a set rules to govern the elective body. Those rules cannot bind a future Congress (or a convention). Those rules can be amended by the Congress (or convention) who adopted them.

People need to wake the up. They're being incited to anger over a concept that has existed from the foundation of Congress. Attach "GOPe" to it and suddenly a constitutional concept is a conspiracy.
