I’m for Trump. And I’ve posted several times here that rule 40 does not say you have to get your 8 state majorities by primary or caucus wins. People need to download and read the rule.

Look, if there is no winner after round one, the chair can reopen nominations. THEN all you have to do is turn in a paper wherein you are nominated by 8 state’s majority delegates. It doesn’t sat you have to come into the convention with 8 majorities. The rule was designed to keep out Ron Paul ON ROUND ONE. There was never going to be a round two, so the rule was never worded to keep out round 2, 3, etc. nominations. They just didn’t want the embarrassment of Paul being nominated, because then there would be a speech, etc.

Most people, including the majority of people on TV who purport to be experts, haven t even read the rule. I have no idea what rules will say by the time the convention is underway, but I can tell you now that rule 40 does not bar Kasich, or even a “parachute” candidate from being put into play.

Trump will make most of the rules as did Romney after finding out that Ron Paul did what Cruz did on Delegates

He hire the best in Paul J. Manafort no more rookie stuff , just as Paul out worked Romney they got rid of them with rule 40B

I am sure Paul Manafort knows how to end this Crap
