The 2016 Republican Presidential Nomination (Convention Rules)

LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE ^ | April 2, 2014 | Morton Blackwell

[mac_truck]

RINOs already know they’re being primaried.

Does that include McCain or is he 'grandfathered' in?

[campaignPete R-CT]

you noticed the date ... I received it today and assumed it was APril 2nd 2015, yesterday. Is it a typo? maybe not.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Morton Blackwell, not a concern troll.

The assumption is that the readers know who he is. I cannot imagine the readers here at freerepublic do not.

[Tennessee Nana]

In Tampa, the Romney campaign changed that requirement. Currently, a 2016 presidential candidate will have to have the support of a majority of the delegates from at least eight states.

Easy Peasy for the future 2016 GOP nominee for President of the United States, Rafael Edward Cruz..

Willard was so paranoid...

He had the ugly loosing specter of Big Daddy George Romney in 1964 hanging over his head,,

In the battle on the convention floor that year Daddy only got 41 votes while Barry Goldwater, the hated friend of the hated Ronald Reagan, got 800 and the nomination,,

Teenager Willard sheepishly trotted out of the building behind the exploding with anger back of the stomping George who went and helped Johnson win reelection that year...

Willard would twist any rule to give him an edge, even shut out Governor Sarah Palin and the Conservatives and Ron Paul as he did..

Plus there was ORCA the miserable failing computer system that Willard spent tens of millions of the donors money on..

Willard’s golden hand was less than brass in 2012...

Willard has only himself to blame for losing in both 2008 and 2012 just as in 1994.....

Maybe he should have used Reagan’s playbook...honesty, integrity, patriotism, Conservatism..

I will NOT vote ever again for a Republican that is not a proven conservative. No voting anymore for the lesser of two evils. I will not vote for Prez but will leave it blank and then vote down ballot for my choice.

Bushy, Romney, Rovey and all the rest of the GOP-e can kma from now on.

[JRandomFreeper]

Yes, he is.

Just because you say it doesn't make it so.

Anyone 'concerned' about Cruz is a concern troll and I have no use for their 'conventional wisdom'.

Anyone that doesn't like my support for conservatives, and my willingness to politically destroy liberal republicans can pound sand.

My money and my vote go to Cruz and anybody that doesn't like it can fold it until it's all corners.

[JRandomFreeper]

Lets all get behind Ted and make this happen this time out.

I'm with you. I volunteered time and effort when Cruz ran here for Senate, but I've already given money to Cruz a few times, and will again. And I will continue to do what I can on the ground, burning up phone lines and shoe leather.

Go Cruz!

He's the only one that gets money from me. Besides FR, of course.

[lentulusgracchus]

They could turn a prissy, control-freak convention upside-down in no time.

And, if they are men, stampede the s.o.b. -- it's been done. Too long since that happened. (I get to make the first phone call to Sarah Palin.)

[lentulusgracchus]

Walker is a fine fellow I’m sure but the only people he seems to inspire are journalists and accountants. He’s also likely the uniparty fall back position.

I'm beginning to worry he's actually a "Judas horse", fully broken and trained to lead the mavericks (and conservatives) into the Establishment Corral, there to be broken and ridden by men born booted and spurred, as one of our Founding Fathers put it.

[CyberAnt]

Were you aware that Cruz has TV commercials running in the “Killing Jesus” movie ..??

And, he starts off the commercial saying, “Without the transforming love of Jesus Christ, ... [most awesome statement] ...”

You’re right, the Evangelicals are going to eat this up.
And, since I’m an Evangelical myself, I can tell you it’s a real winner .. and the fact I’m sure he truly believes it makes all the difference.

The GOPe is going to cringe; but they’ll be stunned when they see the response to this commercial.

And, I agree that the real Conservatives are REALLY angry. Because of that, I don’t think they’re going to be willing to put up with any of their funny stuff.

[campaignPete R-CT]

I don’t see where the author mentions Cruz or being concerned.

[zeestephen]

Re: “The Cheap Labor Express has paid the RNC for an amnesty candidate. The RNC means to deliver. I’m hoping we can pull off a miracle and nominate Ted Cruz.”

Immigration is my number one issue.

Ted Cruz is an avid supporter of “Cheap Labor.”

2012 - Cruz publicly campaigned for more legal “guest workers” for Texas farmers and ranchers.

2013 - Cruz introduced an Amendment to the Gang of Eight Amnesty that would have increased H1-B visas by 5X.

2013 - Cruz introduced a second Amendment to Gang of Eight that would have increased annual Green Cards by 650,000.

2013 - Cruz publicly stated he would not deport illegal aliens currently in the USA as long as they had not violated any other USA laws.

2013-2015 - Cruz has publicly called for an end to “Chain Migration.” However, since taking office in 2013, Cruz has introduced no legislation that would reduce the number of LEGAL immigrants - 1.2 million - that come to the USA each year. And, he has introduced no legislation that would reduce the number of annual work visas - about 700,000.

[JRandomFreeper]

This will not be a cheery update because the news is not good.

The author's first line. Major concern.. News not good. LOL. Screw them an their news.

And right now Cruz is the front runner that many of the 'not real conservatives' here on FR are trying to tear down early.

Nah. He's a concern troll that will get less attention than my dog. And my dog passed away a few years ago.

I'll keep sending Cruz money and time and effort. I've never had a politician to support with $$ this early in the game.

I'll keep doing that.

[RKBA Democrat]

Walker’s sudden rise in the polls and prodigious amount of positive media should give us all pause.

[JRandomFreeper]

Why in the world would I want to listen to what the 'media' and their puff-piece polls have to say? They are socialist losers. My goal in life is to politically destroy liberals. Especially liberal republicans.

I'm not here to listen to their BS, I'm here to make sure they never win office. I despise and loath liberals. Especially liberal republicans.

[snippy_about_it]

We conservatives need to unite behind either Cruz or Walker. What we can’t have is a long fight between Cruz and Walker, where Bush cleans up (even possibly with just a plurality).

This should be shouted from the rooftops. If we don't unite early we will lose again to a democrat.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

If we don't unite early we will lose again to a democrat.

Ted will pull away from Walker and the rest soon, so I think this will be a moot point. He just raised $4 million in 8 days.

I'm equally concerned about cross-over votes in the Republican primaries, since the Dems aren't having a primary.

We desperately need Liawatha to enter the race.
