This bothers me. If it is REALLY a two- way numbers tie, or close to that, then fine, open the convention. But if Trump has the required number of delegates, or a few under, then he is the nominee. I say this not because I want Trump, because I don’t, but because anything else is immoral, unethical, dishonest and just plain wrong.
I think most would agree with that. The issue is what if Trump is 100 votes shy and Cruz is 200 votes shy. Then what happens?
Then Trump and Cruz need to be the key players trying to get the delegates to vote for them. Like Trump can promise Kasich a VP slot and get his slate of delegates. And Cruz can team up with the Rube...you know that kind of stuff I’m fine with.
But if it goes to a backroom where some unknown people come out and say...”Here’s your nominee” then that’s when the Shat hits the fin.
