Whatever. It’s Trump or dump the GOP as far as I’m concerned. However I don’t really believe it will happen. Politicians are too cowardly. All those Trump voters live in their districts and they will hear from them if they persist. The officeholders who are talking about stopping Trump will start to peel away faced with a tsunami of voter outrage. First a few, then in bunches, like a losing army breaking when it realizes they are about to be overrun.
The last time any brokered convention produced a winning nominee was 1932 with Franklin Roosevelt.
HOW BAD COULD IT POSSIBLY GET!?!?
Just think, little Eddie Munster as our president. It was bad enough having to look at Obama for all of these years but little Eddie!
The GOPe has clearly shown that it never represented the working class Americans....Ever!
So in 1852 who played Paul Ryan's part at the Whig convention?
If Trump is even close to the required number of delegates, then he simply won’t concede anything. He’d sooner carpet bomb downtown Cleveland from his 757.
Yep - staying in now only gives others a chance to pull a Mississippi on the Nation. If Cruz stays in long enough for this to happen, his name will be $#!t in my home.
and got his clock cleaned at a debate against Joe Biden?
Yeah, uh, good luck with that Paul. You want a civil war? Bring it.
For better or worse, TC and DT have pulled back the curtain in oz
You do understand that rule changes and the candidate will still require a majority of the delegates? And that around 2000 of those delegates will have been elected to support Trump or Cruz?
Any compromise will be between Trump and Cruz supporters. The establishment will get no say-so.
The establishment broker talk is just a scheme by Rove and Diaz, et al, to scam a few more millions from foolish big donors.
Piss on Ryan!!!!
If anyone but Trump or Cruz is the nominee..the GOP is over..finished..kaput..
I mentioned elsewhere that if Trump is short, it’s only going to be by about 100 or so. He’ll easily be able to get 100 Cruz delegates on a second ballot if/when it becomes clear that the GOPe is going to pull some BS move.
FUPR!
But it is Hillary’s turn! Whaahaahaahaaaaaa!
The worm has turned.
Trump needs to plan how to run a third party campaign at a late date!
Ryan is a GOPe goober.
The save America movement must be stopped.
Breitbart is becoming Der Stuermer for Trump.
The RNC/GOP do not care if they lose.
Their purpose is to block the citizens from electing a President that will stop The Cheap Labor Express
Both parties are committed to keeping the borders open and the laws unenforced.
We will not be allowed to keep the rule of law or our country.
From the article:
“Ryan acknowledged that people are talking to him about how he could get the nomination at a brokered convention where un-pledged delegates can ignore the results of their states’ primaries once the first convention ballot is taken.”
People are telling Ryan he could get the nomination.
The fact that Paul Ryan would even suggest that he may reach for the nomination in a contested convention (on the night of Trump’s massive win) is evidence of just how far he and the GOPe are disassociated from reality.
It should clue Trump in to how many long knives in the GOPe establishment are out to get him.
After he defeats them, Hillary will be a cakewalk.
Ryan is toxic to his base right now. He is worse than Rubio!
