So let me get this straight. Trump won the nomination, won the delegates, and yet is concerned that his delegates won’t vote for him on the convention floor? Why? If he’s such a juggernaut, such a sure-winner, why wouldn’t his delegates vote for him?

In my opinion, if there’s a floor-fight at the convention, it is the people who foisted Trump on the GOP who will be responsible for it. He’s a terrible general election candidate and his lack of momentum to this point has a lot of people worried that his defeat in November could be catastrophically bad. There is still time to undo this awful mistake.

He’s not a sure winner. No such thing. The sore loser GOP nevertrumpers are still trying hard to throw this election.

And it was we the people who foisted him on the GOP, by the way. And we’re going to try like hell to send him to the White House and Hillary to prison.

Go, Trump, GO!!

Are you with us or against us?

Some of these delegates have Establishment ties. Have you noticed that Trump is more popular, by orders of magnitude, with we the people than with the Establishment?

Also you may recall that every time Trump won a state, Cruz operatives came along afterward and secured slates of delegates loyal to Cruz. Another way of describing that maneuver: screw the people/voters; DC/Cruz know best.
