Trump does not get the nomination and the gopE/RNC is over. No way cruz wins a national election and the down ballot results would guarantee America goes the way of Venezuela.

This is actually exactly what they do if a contested convention is in play. Trump could also steal supporters of committed delegates of others. Some delegates are bound beyond the 1st round, like Florida which If I remember correctly are bound for 3 rounds.

interesting thought...since this isn’t an official government thing but a private convention by a political party that makes it’s own rules up as it goes, there’s no reason Trump can’t just buy enough delegates if it comes to a brokered convention. Ideiology is one thing, cash is something else.

Majority Threshold 'Unfair' in G.O.P. Nomination Process, Donald Trump Complains #24
Posted March 20, 2016 2:12:47 PM PDT by nhwingut
Trump has far more delegates than both Romney and McCain at the same time in history. The GOPe always, along with media allies, convinces all to drop out for "the good of the party" and coalesce around the leader. Now they're doing the exact opposite.

Further, Trump is on pace to have more votes than McCain and Romney COMBINED.

However, Trump doesn’t need to make offers to all of them but to selected key delegates to put him over the top.

Correct.

What you are missing is the fact that if anyone steals from Trump the World Ends. Thought you should know.

Trump’s only chance is to have enough delegates at the convention. If he’s one shy. And i hope he is... it’ll go to someone more deserving.

And he’ll have nobody to blame for it but himself. he’s publicly insulted his opponents, their wives, the journalists, people of faith. Etc.

As a staunch Trump supporter I don't see it as World Ending,. I do, however, see it as a lost opportunity to take out the oligarchs that control the process through the puppet establishments of both political parties.

Cruz has proven himself to be just another puppet for sale to the highest bidder.
