Where did they dredge up this tool? Ben Carson was right. He is a Pubis.

The GOPe ignoring the American voters as they are thinking about will create somewhere for the voters to go...It may take a term, but the GOPe will find itself out in the cold...

IMO, the people across the country who have voted republican/conservative for many years under the mantle of the GOP are totally disgusted with the direction the elites have taken the so-called leadership of the party...

The “leadership needs to remember they number in the low hundreds...The REAL voters number in the millions...

if he gets 1236 that is not enough.. The rules have been in place for years.

Same goes for Cruz..

work on getting your candidate of choice to 1237 and make it a non-issue.

What you say is true but truth is not what matters here.

Review what happened in Mississippi between Cochran and McDaniel. That history makes clear the thinking of the political establishment.

No doubt the events of today are much larger in view than those of a backwater state like Mississippi, but the tactical thinking is the same.

I am reviewing Pope John II’s mass to millions in Blonie Fields and particularly the reaction of the many millions who returned from the fields and saw once they were back in the city the lack of reality content in the state-run media.

But we don’t have a Pope leading us to the truth here.

Nothing Trump has done so far compares to the disgusting, ignorant, tone-deaf, idiotic, insane, and corrupt way the GOPe (and incumbent Republicans in Congress) has screwed over common rank-and-file Republicans.

Trump is a symptom of GOPe disease, and not a disease himself which needs to be eradicated.

The GOPe has attempted political assassination of Trump several times now, to no avail. No matter the outcome, the GOPe needs an overhaul, housecleaning, and reorganization.

While Trump may not be a polished politician, his message, albeit unpalatable at times, rings true to many disappointed Republicans.

Rinse Reince, repeat.

Don’t forget the major disappointment Ron Johnson.

Ah, yes, my day would not be complete without a moronic statement or two from RNC chairman Rancid Prius. (Who named this clown> He must’ve gone through life with a chip on his shoulder.)

The Republican party wants to go the way of the Whig Party of the 1850’s. The problem for them and us is they will see the destroyed by Hillary Clinton in their effort to defeat Trump and Cruz for the nomination and replace them with the RINO of their choice. Another RINO like Ryan, Romney, McCain, Dole, Kasich, who whomever cannot win because there will be enough pissed off voters who won't vote to give the Donkeys the White House again and they will probably lose Congress to boot. That's a really good strategy you’ve got there Rancid.

Rancid Puss is the poster child for out-of-touch losers. What a unlikeable, pathetic clown of a leader.

This video was posted in the comments under this article and shows what happened in the 2012 convention to change to rules that would make it more difficult for any grassroots candidate in the future (2016).

They got by with it once. Why not keep doing what they have done in the past and completely take the party down. /s

LS posted what they are messing with this morning!

Xxxx
Jeff: feel free to share this.
Hillary & Bernie combined (* ++) 9,753,448

(*Nebraska and Colorado Dem primaries already occurred, but GOP has not=144,330)

Hillary/Bernie Total*:

9,609,118

(++ No votes for anyone other than Hillary or Bernie included)

Republican totals: (**)

20,220,500

(**Carson, Paul, Santorum, Gilmore, Fiorina, Huckabee, Bush have dropped out=1,086,724 including 677,193 for Carson and 249,733 for Bush)

Republican totals (less candidates who have dropped out):

19,133,776

Republican advantage in states that have voted:

9,524,658

In 2012 Obama was not contested. He had 6,158,064. But in 2008, when he was contested he and Hillary combined for 36 million. Sound like a lot?

In the last contested election on both sides, 2008, the GOP had a total of 20,039,034 votes. We have beaten the ‘08 total by almost 200,000 votes and we are just half way through.

We are halfway through and GOP candidates have totaled 20,200,000. Republicans if current trends hold would exceed the 2008 Dem primary turnout by FOUR POINT FOUR MILLION.

I've said before that Rancid Prius couldn't lead a gaggle of randy gays through Obama’s Northside (Chicago) men's bathhouse, “Man's Country”, with a Wad of $1,000 bills to choke a horse and a wallet filled with credit cards. Inspiring or smart he is NOT.

I would imagine that the names are privy to the state and local party bosses.

I don’t know how transparent they wish to be—my guess is not very much at all.

Show where in the history of conventions that here has been a contested convention when the delegate count is THAT close...

That rule is in place, yes, but that doesn’t mean it has to be observed no matter what...

You should be able to find out who the delegates are by going to your County or State GOP meetings....or call up your State GOP office...altho if you haven’t been involved before they may be hesitant to just give anyone the names. I don’t think anything is secret but if you aren’t participating in local GOP politics it can be difficult to find out. (They might think you’re an infiltrate or something)
