John Fund: Trump Has No Right to Change the Rules
National Review ^ | March 18, 2016 | John Fund

Posted on 03/20/2016 6:56:30 PM PDT by EveningStar

Donald Trump and his backers want to redefine mathematics, and have the GOP nomination handed to him with a plurality of delegates, rather than a majority, being sufficient...

The Republican party has held 39 national conventions since its first in 1856. At each and every one, a majority of delegates was needed for someone to get the nomination...

If a horse shows up lame or doesn’t start, should he win?

I guess it depends on what the rules are before they start the race.

worse, they think they can change the rules during the race. One runner remains 3/4 of the way around and is in good shape and can go the distance so the promoters hobble him and substitute someone who never ran to finish out the last little bit and take the trophy. There is a simple word for it. FRAUD!

If no one else gets close to 3/4, I would say yes that runner wins.

Just keep rule 40b...

No changes required.

I hear ya. I just hate to leave stuff like that hanging with nobody going after them. Here that wasn’t likely, but I decided to address it.

Is there any of these talking heads that remain decent.

It’s not the same thing, but I think Dobbs gets it. There are others, but they sure are few and far between.

Rule 40b is idiotic. And the GOP should do away with winner-take-all.

Your analogy doesn’t hold water.
We are talking numbers of votes not finish lines.
Somebody with zero votes could still cross the finish line first.

Wow! You're getting almost as nasty as the one you've given your allegiance to who has a bad habbit of calling his leading challenger "nasty!"

Nothing more foul than a rotten sucky egg, unless it's the one telling one to suck one!!!

This whole campaign has turned infinitely infantile to the nth degree!!!

Could it be that your fearless leader's nastiness has had a DetriMental effect on your disposition???

John, you babbling baboon! Don’t you get it yet? The people, the people who work for a living, have had it up to their eyeballs with the left and the GOPe catering to illegal aliens and those who won’t work but rely on government assistance in exchange for a vote. Those same people are sick of the broken promises made by so-called leaders in Washington. The revolution is here John. Don’t whine now. You should have been encouraging your cronies long ago to change their ways. You knew that the people wouldn’t take it much longer. Now John, you whine about changing the rules? How the hell many rules have been changed by your cronies in the last 60 years? get ready for the revolution John, it’s coming. This time WE are changing the rules.......

LOL

I appreciate the concern.

I think you’re able to figure this one out for yourself.
