No need for me to, since I never subscribed to it.
“I like trumps chances much better”
Trump has a much better chance for sure.
If he loses it, it’d be a huge implosion.
What part of “unbound delegates” do people not get? You can’t steal something when it didn’t belong to anyone, to begin with.
Cruz will not win .
You had best face the facts.
He is despised.
Well definitely. But I’d he were to lose to Cruz, I’d rather Cruz make 1237 From the actual voters.
Cruz tactic is to use GOPe delegates already prepared from before the election to deny Trump a honest win and instead vote for the GOPe guy like was planned from before Cruz asked the GOPe to save his losing campaign after the south. Most are not really for Cruz obviously but are GOPe claiming to be for Cruz to stop Trump.
Hence the GOPe bragging they will Nominate Paul Ryan.
I appreciate your opinion but it doesn’t answer the question i asked, can Trump and Kasich add their delegates together for the first ballot....i don’t think so, can anybody answer this question for me? If it goes to a second ballot Cruz wins.
“Well definitely. But I’d he were to lose to Cruz, I’d rather Cruz make 1237 From the actual voters.”
If Trump falls short of 1237 on the first ballot, is he going to withdraw and not accept a win on the second, third or fourth ballot?
Need to change the tag line to reflect reality.
Should Be:
“Cruz for the North American Union.
or
“Cruz for the Countries of Canada, America and Mexico.
The problem is that Kasich delegates (ditto Rubio) are not "Owned" by the candidates. They are free agents, required to use their own "best judgement" if Kasich and Rubio do not have their names placed before the convention. And neither has the minimum number of states to do that.
So, Rubio+Kasich+Carson et al = 350 free agents, approximately, maybe more if Kasich keeps going after NY. They will be the kingmakers.
"Non-Trump" is now pushing 900, and will grow, if "non-Trump" gains another 337, Trump cannot gain the nomination with his own delegates on the first ballot. There are 854 to go. Trump needs 517 of those in order to win outright. But some of those Kasich/Rubio delegates could be won over for the first ballot. The Rubio-ites are strongly leaning to Cruz, but not unanimously. Math will be close! A nail-biter!
From what I have heard Ohio rules are such that if Kasich drops out his delegates revert to the No 2 person in the Primary which would be Trump. So all he has to do is drop out anytime before the convention and it would be Automatic.
I’ll be waiting for the answer to that question!!
Thank you
I was in the first district, what district were you in?
You can’t just give your delegates to someone. You can release them, but the delegate themselves determines who they are going to vote for. Plus on the first ballot many states, like our beautiful state of Iowa, will be casting votes for Carson, Bush, and Carly on the first ballot, regardless what the candidate wanted us to do.
And you my friend, don’t even have the hat.
Even Drudge has your guy’s number in Colorado.
So says Manafort, a thug who worked for Ford against Reagan, and for Putin puppet Viktor Yanukovych in the Ukraine. LOLOLOLOL
You are correct. It’s a little complicated but if Trump colludes with Kasich, I think it would have to be for second ballot votes.
And that won’t help Trump enough.
A perfect illustration of why people think Trump supporters are mindless zombies.
Your post:
“Awww, look at all the widdle Cwuzies getting all offended and pouty that they got Godwined.”
It’s sardonic, ironic, and a play on words. There’s a cure for what you have, and it’s called EDUCATION.
How about all the trumper patriots who are now vowing to write in Trump, vote third party or vote for Hillary.
How patriotic is that?
Cruz is in it to win it. Deal with it.
