Having enough to unquestionably WIN on the first ballot is the only way to stop the GOPe shenanigans.
The unbound delegates are NOT part of the delegate counting that preoccupies the press.
Absolutely right that GOPe insiders controlling the out come is bad.
All of the folderol leading up to the convention the delegates will force the delegates to go with the Trump if he is really close to 1237 (within 100?? is that close?) otherwise risk losing the election and destroying the party.
Even people playing checkers can see when they about ready to lose in two turns
In a week or two the Cruz people will go through the same lull Trump has for these two weeks but he doesn't have enough ump-hf to last.
It is becoming obvious that Cruz won't win the general this will hopefully set into the zeitgeist
Problems remain unsolved until addressed honestly. Remember Donald Trump has done more to kill Political Correctness and foster an honest dialogue about the real issues facing normal Americans than probably anyone in the last 40 years
What’s going on is the GOP is taking a beating over the Cruz’s delegate machinations and Colorado’s disenfranchisement of GOP voters.
It looks like Trump is getting a big rebound off these party machinations and the GOP has already pushed too far trying to thwart Trump.
They’re probably getting creamed in focus groups despite the media’s complicity in pushing the meme “It’s all by the rules”.
>> Having enough to unquestionably WIN on the first ballot is the only way
That is correct.
Trump’s goose is pretty well cooked if he doesn’t win on the first ballot. And rightfully so.
Having enough to unquestionably WIN on the first ballot is the only way to stop Cruz.
(Fixed that for you.)
I agree wholeheartedly. Lucy with the football.
