Trump Wins Big Among Pennsylvania's Unbound Delegates
NBC News ^ | April 27, 2016 | Leigh Ann Caldwell

Posted on 04/27/2016 3:09:59 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Donald Trump won a sweeping victory in the Pennsylvania primary and, more importantly, he dominated the fight for the state's 54 unbound delegates to the GOP convention -- making his path to obtaining the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination much easier.

NBC News reached out to all 54 delegate winners after the polls closed Tuesday night. Interviews reveal that as of Wednesday afternoon 35 said they intend to support Trump on the first ballot at the convention -- a number that could rise north of 40 when the final ten delegates are reached.

Trump's delegate haul is an impressive feat for the candidate who has largely ignored the convoluted and intricate delegate process.

Looks like another sleeper troll has emerged to attack Trump. No doubt one of the other trolls who’ve been recently zotted.

Dude hasn’t posted since 9/6/2014 and suddenly posts this today attacking Trump:

“I’m tired of the sycophantic Trump hooplah. It’s just as bad as the young Bernie crowd. Trump is a liberal just as bad as hillary is. He says EXACTLY what conservative Republicans want to here. He will not make good on ANY of it. I thought we were supposed to distrust all politicians? Why is that if you have are a billionaire, you can say all you want and we’ll believe you, but look past your record of donations to campaigns and previous remarks on issues? “Oh he’s changed his view” is not an answer!!!”

I don’t care who supports him. You can’t beat a 100% rating from ACU. Besides, you wanna talk about GOPe, Boehner in all his drunkenness supports Trump. You can’t get much bigger of a GOPe endorsement than that.

Not a sleeper troll. just a young guy that is very distrustful of a guy that just says what everyone wants to hear and has little record of supporting conservative positions. Sure he’s going to be conservative economically (for the most part. he says he wants to raise taxes on the rich, sounds like Bernie to me...) But where does he stand on abortion, supreme court nominations, gun control/rights, and a whole host of issues. Is his foreign policy consistent, and is he even going to hold to what he said in his “major policy speech”. Honestly, if we were following a Republican president, i’d have little problem voting for a mystery like Trump, if Hillary, Sanders, or anyone like them were running on the other side. But we’re electing someone who is going to succeed 8 years of a failed, progressive, dangerous presidency. Also, the next president will nominate replacements for Scalia AND Ginsberg, at the least, perhaps even Kennedy, if the President has a second term. It is far too important that we elect a true conservative with a record of supporting and voting for and defending conservative positions. That choice is not Trump. Here’s who i supported in this cycle. Rick Perry, then Santorum, then was undecided till it was obvious Cruz was the only real conservative left (of course i leaned towards him after Santorum dropped out).

I’m not some troll. I hate the crap that’s been dividing conservative against conservative. Sure, Trump made the candidates talk about issues they probably wouldn’t have been talking as much about or as fervently, and i thank him for that. But he is by far the most unqualified and unnerving republican choice.

Nope, your posting history CLEARLY shows you are a sleeper troll (no posts since 9/6/2014 until yesterday: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:futurerocketman/index?tab=comments;brevity=full;options=no-change), AND either you didn’t get the memos from our esteemed owner, Jim Robinson, to stop attacking Trump, Free Republic’s presumptive nominee, and/or you are ignoring it:

“As conservatives and patriots, it’s time to put bruised egos behind us, heal our differences and act united in the best interests of our nation. The media and the GOPe will try to keep us divided, of course, but we must not fall for their treasonous tricks.

A divided Republican party will ensure Hillary waltzes into the White House in November.

Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. Hillary would be a third term for Obama and would complete his mission of completely destroying America.

Do not let freedom expire on our watch!!

I’m praying this forum and our loyal members will now be shifting into high gear to defend our freedom by uniting against the treasonous enemy within.”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3422979/posts

AND this too from Jim Robinson:

“NeverTrump is a losing proposition and will lead to a loss of liberty and loss of country.

This is totally unacceptable.

After the corrupt establishment losing twice in a row to Marxist Obama, I’m damned tired of the corrupt establishment and damned tired of losing.

If you are a NeverTrump type person, you are working against our purposes on FR, so please opus out now and log off and let us carry on with our mission in peace.

Continue insulting us with 24/7 anti-Trump diatribes and insults, your opus will be assumed.

We will unite behind our nominee and we will win this coming election (with or without you) and we will get a handle on this divided forum very soon.

Hope you understand my position.”

uhh.... so i don’t have the freedom to discuss what i want to discuss on FreeRepublic?? isn’t that kinda the point? If i can’t disagree with the “always Trump” crowd, what’s the point of this forum?

“uhh.... so i don’t have the freedom to discuss what i want to discuss on FreeRepublic?? isn’t that kinda the point? If i can’t disagree with the “always Trump” crowd, what’s the point of this forum?”

Nope. It’s NOT the point. Free Republic stands for the United States itself being a free republic, and is no way statement of purpose for this website. Furthermore, your question proves you’re a sleeper troll, because if you had actually been posting for eight years (or even a couple of months for that matter), you would know all of that.

And no, you are no longer free to attack the “always Trump crowd” or Trump himself. The owner of this website has made it QUITE CLEAR that the time for debate about this particular issue is past, and that this site is now dedicated to beating Hillary Clinton, which means that this site has now rallied behind the GOP presumptive nominee, Donald J. Trump.

Free Republic is private property owned exclusively by Jim Robinson. Part of his statement of purpose for his website reads as follows:

“Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society.”

There are many other websites that you can attack Trump on, including Democrat Underground, DailyKos, RedState, NRO, Theblaze, etc. You will be quite welcome on those websites. You are NOT welcome to attack our candidate or his supporters on Free Republic.

So let me repeat my earlier post to you:

your posting history CLEARLY shows you are a sleeper troll (no posts since 9/6/2014 until yesterday: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:futurerocketman/index?tab=comments;brevity=full;options=no-change), AND either you didn’t get the memos from our esteemed owner, Jim Robinson, to stop attacking Trump, Free Republic’s presumptive nominee, and/or you are ignoring it:

This will be my final post on the matter, considering i don’t want to be banned or what-have-you, because i do consider this forum to be a great place for conservatives to discuss and DEBATE about topics of interest.

Trump is not yet the nominee. While he may become the nominee in July, he hasn’t yet achieved that. Silencing opinion is a modus operandi of the left, and it disgusts me that the owner of this site would stoop to that level. It also disgusts me that FreeRepublic is protecting someone who has somehow infiltrated conservative ranks, proclaimed some insane notion about how the system is rigged against him, yet uses the system to his advantage at the same time, and garnered crowds of adoring fans. It is reminiscent of Obama’s 2008 coronation. It is sickening. I don’t know how much i can stress that.

You call me a troll because i haven’t posted regularly in over two years. yet you can go back through my posts prior to that and see that I am certainly not a troll. I came here as a teenager, trying to find a place where people of similarly strongly held opinions could identify with each other and discuss issues. While most of the articles and threads that come through this site are wonderful and insightful, some are downright stupid, mostly these Trump-praising/protecting threads... What do you think i am, some left wing junkie? some young Sanders sycophant? No, i’m just as upset with the system and the government overreach as anyone here. I may not have as much wisdom or experience as many here, but that doesn’t mean that i’m blinded by the neverTrump crowd. I do not like Trump but not for the reasons as most others: Trump is not some non-establishment, outsider candidate. He has been supporting left-wing progressives and “GOPe” politicians, that suppress real conservative reforms and ideas, for decades. How can you just simply overlook this?? Why are some conservatives so gullible? Seriously... this is atrocious. What do you have against Cruz? he is by far the best candidate to face Hilary (or Bernie, if Clinton gets indicted).

Since FreeRepublic obviously doesn’t want to hear alternative conservative points of view on this topic, you won’t be seeing me here anymore, any time soon, sadly. Have a good time, and i pray to God you’re right about Trump and I am wrong, assuming he does get the nomination.
