Lots of pretty charts and graphs ( and assumptions ) to see in the article.
That would be the end of the Republican party, especially if the RNC changes rule forty which states only who won eight States can qualify for election in a brokered convention.
As it stands only Cruz or Trump would get eight States, but if the rules get changed to get another candidate in the Republican party is OVER.
If Trump is not the nominee the election is over, which is what the elites want.
Cruz’s EV total is about 80 behind Trump.
FL and OH will determine if CA matters...
I think the GOPee is going to do a brokered convention no matter how many delegates Trump wins.
I can’t see it getting to this. Here’s the deal. The pubs and dems can choose who they allow to run under their banner. It’s their club.
However once they allow a candidate to run and the candidate starts to win they can’t change the rules. If trump was so bad they should have never allowed him to run under the party banner in the first place. I say this as a Cruz supporter. If trump wins there is no way in hades these bozo’s will take it away from him. And they know it. Ultimately they will all hail Caesar.
They didn’t mention rule 40.
To get nominated at the convention, you have to win the majority delegates of 8 states. And Trump is the only one likely to do that.
the article does not include the fact that Trump could sweep Mo and ILL on the 15th and win almost all the delegates.
NC is proportional.
June 7th winner take all primaries for California and New Jersey combined around 235 delegates.
The thing very well could be decided then.
Romney insured Trump wins Ohio and Florida.
Yep, HENCE MY TAG LINE.
Voting for Cruz earlier meant trying to get Cruz the nomination.
Voting for Cruz now means trying to throw the selection process into the GOP Convention, which means letting the GOPe choose - which, of course, means either Romney, Jeb, or Linda.
Do Cruz supporters REALLY want that outcome?
