Thanks for posting this, 2nd D. And notice the bit about changing the rules on the first vote.
Agreed - seems like a well researched and well thought out article. I like how after he makes some statement and predicts the reader’s reaction (well, mine anyway).
Like his “WHAT!?” after stating that they can still change the rules!
Larry Nichols and Roger Stone have been warning us about this, yet the chitter-chatter about the “second vote” continues unabated.
Trump is winning in ALL of the upcoming states, with Cruz coming THIRD in the majority of them. Since Trump has well over 50% in N.Y. and almost that in Pa. ( which he just may get over the 50% hump in too ), all of this talk about a brokered convention, when Trump is well on his way of getting at the least, the 1237 delegates, even with the stupid machinations behind the scenes and Co. dreadful maneuver, it appears that the talk is wishful thinking.
Not so; they aren’t the ones lying and cheating.
Agreed. Done with fake parties.
Note that the delegates can vote to change the rules before the convention even starts, and they can allow the delegates, such as they are, to vote their “conscience” on the first vote.
Now that The Hill has said it, maybe the media will pick it up.
Nah . . .
But that new party would need rules to decide who is eligible to vote in their selection process. You have already set one such rule, must be someone who has never been an official of any kind in another party.
So if you get to set rules for your party, why can’t Republicans set the rules for their selection process.
A wonderfully poetic read, and right on target, as regards the current state of politics in this country. I hope it’s been posted on the forum.
They and all of us, can then kiss this nation good bye. Is THAT what YOU want to happen?
Rules? We don’t need no stinking rules.
That seems increasingly obvious.
On the plus side, this rigged election should help people, even people with normal thought process,to see it.
Here is another one, though, not so humorous.

Well said, windflier!
Trump has opened a can of whup-@$$ and exposed the party’s dirty laundry. He’s in first place, and the guy in second place is stealing delegates .
Example:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3419584/posts?page=118#118
He got over a million votes in FL, (winner take all, got all counties except rubio’s, and delegates are bound for three ballots at the convention),
and crooze is stealing those delegates.
Disenfranchising over a million that voted for Trump.
So, each State has delegates based on the number of Republican voters in a given area, usually a county. Voters go to the primary and vote, each candidate receiving delegates based on the way the voters in each subdivision vote, yes, a very complex and confusing process.
The only reason awarding delegates and binding them to the candidate the voters voted for is complex or confusing is because it suits the party lawyers and manipulators to make it complex and confusing.
There's nothing complex and confusing about Cruz working to subvert the will of the voters, though, and no amount of lawyer BS can hide the fact that that's exactly what he's trying to do.
Whatever comes out of his sleazy mouth, his actions prove he's neither a Conservative who believes the people should control their own government or a Christian who believes people have inalienable rights granted to them by God rather than by the Party Machine.
How is this piece anti-Trump? It simply explains how the delegate process works; it favors neither Trump nor Cruz.
On second thought, you ought to send it to Trump -- he might find it helpful.
>On second thought, you ought to send it to Trump — he might find it helpful.
Hey send Cruz the Drudge headline. Because that’s the headline that’s going to cost him Indiana and California.
