Veteran political operative and Donald Trump supporter Roger Stone said on Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius/XM Channel 125 that “Republican bosses” in Indiana are trying to stop Donald Trump before Tuesday’s primary:
I find it interesting that any place where the people decide, Donald Trump does great. In fact, he racks up huge numbers. Any place where the bosses decide and the Republican Establishment decides, Sen. Ted Cruz is able to nibble delegates here and nibble delegates there.
I think Trump is going to win Indiana, but the Indiana delegate process is already being done, and right now Donald Trump has one delegate. So the Republican bosses in Indiana are trying to thwart the will of the voters regardless of how they vote in the upcoming primary.
I do think the Trump campaign is back on a solid technological track with targeted television and radio ads. I think you can see the professionalization of the Trump campaign which before was a natural force…It was all based on an incredible model, a communications-based model, that Trump himself was able to generate so much media coverage that it was able to cancel out the massive negative spending against him.
Stone also called Ted Cruz “the ultimate globalist, the Goldman Sachs candidate.”

This is a very astute observation and tells us a LOT.
Are the Indiana delegates bound to vote for the election winner on the first ballot?
First step in fixing the system
Fire Reindeer Penis the RNC chairman, who presided over RNC while it lost to Obama twice. He is a loser, who fought the Tea Party who were the conservative new blood that handed Reindeer Penis the House and Senate, which he took credit for getting. Had they not allowed Obama to block their 501c status the Tea Party would have forced the deficits down.
No doubt Reince-once-no-repeat needs to go BUT the only way to remedy the real problem starts at the precinct level and needs to work its way up.
Yet another ‘contested convention’ article. Let me repeat this in words everyone can understand:
IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. ARTICLES LIKE THIS ARE CLICK BAIT.
From all that I've read, all these delegates are bound to vote for the winner of the state (or the CD) on the first ballot.
However, just like in many other states, it gets complicated after the first ballot and party insiders are indeed able to manipulate the process to steer delegates to the candidate of their choice.
This is why it is so important for Trump to win this on the first ballot so we can avoid all the subsequent hijinks and parlor tricks.
But essentially, if Trump wins the state, he'll have 30 delegates plus 3 for each CD he wins.
Would not surprise me if future GOP primaries are all “state convention” like Arizona. Must seize back control from those pesky peasants. Who do they think they are?
As much as we wish these political circus acts called “primary elections” were fair, the GOPe will eventually make the decision, by hook or by crook, and eventually select their own candidate. I have never seen a more convoluted and deliberately “twisted” system, ripe for adjustment through corruption.
Cruz is a poacher. He poaches delegates. If there’s a good side to it, they can later decide to escape his clutches and rally around Trump; which I understand, they are increasingly doing.
Could there be any more evidence that most of the Republican nomination system is corrupt and needs a total revamp. It is beyond corrupt. Lets see what happens in Indiana.
Trump for President.
is this the outrage of the day?
notice how trump wants you to be outraged every single day. does this not get old?
just remember, someone is always trying to cheat Trump.
The rules for the convention have not yet been written. Anything can happen with the GOPe writing the “rules”.
The permanent GOP Rules Committee met for the last time before the convention and made no changes to the rules adopted in 2012. The Convention Rules Committee is now in charge, and changes would have to be approved by a majority of the whole convention. It’s over.
Claims that it isn’t are psy-ops to bait Trump and supporters into doing something really stupid.
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Convention: DON’T PANIC!
Yes..... every day someone IS trying to cheat Trump. Do you think the elites are giving up? It’s not over till the fat lady sings in Cleveland.
Trump is pealing the onion skins off this whole mess of a twisted, disgusting nomination system. Yes this is a good thing. We the People can now see how the sausage is made. Dole, McNutcase, Romney. DISGUSTING but we all voted for those knotheads. This time it’s not happening again without a total revolt in Cleveland.
It IS an outrage. Here in Wisconsin the GOPe took control of the entire apparatus and Trump got pummeled by the normally terrific radio talk show hosts. Had the Wisconsin primary been tomorrow.... I’ll bet a much different result. Lot has changed since our primary.
BTW.... I used to be a staunch Cruzin voter, but no more since he’s gone to the dark side.
That Stone?
Someone should really loosen up the tinfoil around that guys head before it cuts off what is left of his circulation.
heh.
Jedi.
