On Fox, Karl Rove ACTUALLY JUST SAID, "If I were Donald Trump, I'd be worried."
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
What it means is if trump does not go to the convention with 50% +1 delagate the Republican party will not make him the nominee. The more candidates that stay in the race substantially reduces the chance that trump will make the needed delegate goal.
This whole plan was set up in 2012 by the RNC originally to make it impossible for Cruz to get the nomination. They knew he was going to run, somehow. So, they will use the same rules to block trump because they hate him just slightly less than Cruz and know from intensive polling he will lose against Bernie or Hillary and certainly Joe if he runs.
Remember, 50% +1 or 1237 delegates is the magic number.
The worst part(for trump) is if he does not make that number it will be too late for him to register in many states for a run as an independent. So the RNC gets rid of Trump at least for 4 years and by then he will be too old for another run.
Sound like Obama saying not to listen to Rush Limbaugh...
Ok .. then who do they hand it to ? If they do it, it will definitely disintegrate the party .. I def won’t vote for whoever they hand it to , and I damn sure won’t be the only one ..
They keep downplaying Trumps huge victories. Trump CRUSHES Cruz with supposed Cruz supporters. Cruz doesn’t win a SINGLE precinct. Why is he considered a frontrunner?
Media always says (Hannity just did so) “the two frontrunners”. There is only been ONE frontrunner from the start, TRUMP. Cruz and Rubio are just fighting for second and third. Iowa was an aberration for Cruz, where Trump was a close second. Trump better watch out for Rubio and Kacich because Cruz, is finished.
I don’t know but in a brokered convention all bets are off and anybody that has the right connections can take it. They own the party, they make the rules, they enforce the rules and if trump or cruz or rubio or anybody else does not like it, tough.
They will say the most logical nominee will be ?????? because he/she can unite the party, blah, blah, blah. Just like we heard with Paul Ryan.
It’s coming.
They need to put an Orange wig and Red Nose on this guy.
This Steven Hayes on Fox is real Trump hater. He started saying this was a bad day for Trump. Hannity and Speaker Nute Gingrich both pushed back and correctly said it was a landslide for Trump.
So far Trump comes away with 44 out of 50 delegates and may get almost all of the 50 when the final precinct totals are analyzed. Trump must have won every demographic, he won by double digits.
Trump ran Jeb who spent 24 million in anti Trump ads out of the contest. Plus Trump gathered momentum for Nevada on Tuesday.
Steven Hayes is a jerk. Gingrich said for a guy in politics for just 7 months Trump is a very fast learner.
You cannot expect Meg to understand complicated things like polls and margin of error. Math is hard.
I spoke to a female Texan at a primary watch party tonight in SC. She said there are A LOT of Texans that are very kissed off at Cruz for not standing with ranchers who land is being grabbed by the Feds left & right. She also spoke of kidnappings of American children by Mexican dry Lord’s near border towns that go UNREPORTED by the MSM. She thinks Cruz will not win TX & everyone she knows is voting Trump. They are FED UP with the status quo!
On CNN right now 8:41pst...A Cruz guy said that maybe now the press will start scruntizing Trump as he has been given a pass and never scruntized by the press....Its Rick Synder....of course. Living in a delusional world.
LOL!
If they do it , they know full well that it will hand it do Hitlary ..that is why i’m hoping Bernie can pull it off ..they will be stuck if Bernie get it ...I am of the belief that the estab of both parties wanted Hitlary or Jeb, as they are two sides of the same coin (extended family) ...Jeb failed, so they will cheat Bernie to get Hitlary in there .. if what you and I are saying is correct , the GOPe will be willing to implode the Repub party to get Hitlary in there ... scary
Jeb dropped out tonight.
Time to update your tagline? 8^)
Good point .. fixed it ...thank you
I think it was about 3 or 4 weeks ago word leaked out of RNC somehow that they would rather Hillary won than have Cruz or Trump.
Here is another crazy thought. Internal polling has shown that on a one to one, two way primary Trump beats Rubio, Cruz beats Rubio, Cruz beats Trump. They would rather have Rubio but cannot figure out how to get him nominated without a brokered convention. So they keep as many people in the race as possible, increasing the odds of nobody showing up with 1237 delegates.
Well Jeb just made that scenario harder, did he not ? Kasich won’t last much longer either ... let’s hope Trump and Cruz make a deal ...that is if Beck and Levin will let Cruz make a deal ..
My pleasure, FRiend! 8^)
Yep ...it’s very concerning ...it sounded like a not so veiled threat
Pray for Trump’s safety. I do so nightly.
If Almighty God wants Trump to be president, nothing in heaven or earth will stop that from happening.
