Trump has the worst negatives of just about any candidate in modern history.

[Toro]

63% of Republicans have not voted for Trump. He has won a minority of the delegates.

If Trump loses because he can't win a majority of the delegates and nearly two-thirds voting against him, you can't say the election was stolen.

Well, if you are to be consistent then even a higher number have voted against each other candidate. It isn't Trump versus everybody else.

No one else is claiming that the election is being stolen.

Poll was from the Washington Post.

How exactly will Trump overcome those numbers to win the Whitehouse? And how will we save the Senate in down ballot races?

All he has to do is get them angry and they should vote for Trump, right?

 

[Votto]

Does anyone realize how stupid this is? To claim everyone and their mother hates him and yet the numbers in the states he wins completely fly in the face of this fairy tale so many are spinning.

You can't prove that Trump's mother hates him.

At least the court order says so.

 

[Correll]

In a Republic with the elected officials being chosen by the people through VOTING.............those with the most votes win...........

I guess you think we live in something other than a Republic.................The establishment will steal the nominee from the voters..........no matter how you RAVE about it...........

If this is how we decide who will be president......then the Republic no longer exists............I guess you are stupid to realize that........

If they do this......................No candidate put forward will win............it's over............and I hope we burn the fucking GOP down if they do it.

The Republican Party is not a Republic. It is a private organization and can set whatever rules it wants.

And Trump's supporters are all members of that organization and we have been winning by the rules of that organization.

The leadership has been working outside of the rules to attack their own front runner, instead of letting the primary process work as it is intended.

AND openly plotting ways to game the rules to subvert the process.

Expect a move to repeal Rule 40, with requires in the event of a brokered convention that the candidate to be picked has to have won 8 states.

That is changing the rules in the middle of the game.

You have not won 1237 delegates. If Trump wins that, he should be the nominee. If he doesn't, then he should not. And he probably won't.

This system, or a variation of it, dates back to the 1830s. It is older than the Republican Party itself.

It shouldn't be changed simply because a candidate who didn't win the required delegates or a majority of the voters, and didn't know the process, thinks he should be the candidate.

Trump didn't even know some of the most basic facts of this system. That he didn't would astonish most people. Except, of course, Trump supporters, who seem immune to astonishment.

If Trump doesn't win 1237 delegates, it will be AT THE VERY LEAST IN PART, because the GOP leadership joined in the vile propaganda campaign the Left has been waging against him.

That is dirty pool. Don't pretend it isn't.

If the GOP throws out rule 40, that is changing the rules in the middle of the game.

Rule 40 was a temporary rule implemented in 2012 by Romney delegates on the rules committee. It was done to block Ron Paul.

Rules change at the convention all the time. None are hard and fast. They can be rewritten at any time. Rule 40 was rewritten in 2012.

As for the establishment being against Trump, of course they are. But that doesn't mean Trump should be the nominee if he hasn't won the required delegates.

It's sour grapes by people who didn't know the rules or understand how this works.

They are not just "against" Trump, they are actively supporting the lib myth that the GOP is full of bigots, in order to marginalize Trump's supporters.

In that, they reveal a corruption so severe that the fact that they are against Trump IS a strong indicator that he should be the nominee.

Limiting the candidates of a brokered convention to those with major support from the party voters, is not unreasonable.

Supporting these yahoos we have in charge of the Party now, IS.

Well Cruz would be the only other possibility and we know he's the establishments reluctant pick.

you are so full of shit. The far right is a tiny bunch of lunatics who have no influence beyond their camps in the woods. The conservative movement is in the center and includes republicans, independents, and some democrats.

YOU represent the far left faction of the dem party, and both of you idiot candidates share that far left socialist, progressive ideology that has failed miserably every place it has ever been tried.

The GOP is a coalition party of wealthy oligarchs, socially conservative religious zealots, disenfranchised white voters, and right wing fringe groups, and Southern Racists who abandoned the Democrats when Johnson pushed through the Civil Rights Act. It does have the Southern racists as a significant percentage of the party.

The fact that both the GOP elite and Democrats, and people who don't even live in the US, oppose the guy should give you a clue as to how spectacularly dangerous he is considered to be by those who don't support him. The idea that a man who routinely demonstrates by his statements that he knows nothing of foreign policy or diplomacy, and who has insulted every nation he's spoken about, not to mention suggesting war crimes to deal with terrorists, who have the world's largest standing army at his disposal, not to mention the launch codes for the nukes, it's just too frightening to contemplate.

I am reminded of what someone who worked on the Trump Hotel in Toronto said to me. Trump broke ground in 2007, and the hotel, which had been announced in the early 2000's, was opened in 2011 or 2012. I could not find evidence that the building has been fully completed, as the principals have been battling in court for years. A sub-contractor friend who worked on the building said that Trump's name may have been on the building, but the Saudi's signed the cheques.

The first primary election was held in 1910. Until that time, the party bosses controlled who was the candidate for president would be. Unlike elections for political office where the Constitution and its Amendments determine who is allowed to vote, and how the process works, the political parties can set their own rules for selecting their candidates, based on whatever criteria they think is fitting and proper. They are governed by their own by-laws and rules, not the US Constitution.

It doesn't matter whether you think the selection process is fair and equitable, because there is no legal requirement that it should be.

"Steal" the election? No matter how entitled you and your Orange Messiah think you are, the election doesn't belong to him, so there's no "stealing" about it.

You keep forgetting in your blind, drooling fanboy state, that you Trumpettes are not "the voters". You're just SOME voters. There are a hell of a lot more of us who DON'T want Donny Boy, so get over this whole idea that you get to stomp your little feet and wave Donny's tiny hands and demand your way.

Since I don't hear you saying, "Beating Hillary is THE most important thing" about YOUR vote, I'm even less inclined to give a fat rat's furry ass about your demands regarding MY vote than I was to start with, and God knows, I wouldn't piss on you and your opinion to put out a fire now.

All I want is a candidate who's not a national embarrassment. All YOU want is your own fucking way, so President Hillary is all yours to own. And don't think I won't be here for the entire four years, answering every bitch you have about her with, "Well, why did you waste everyone's time with Donald Trump and elect her, then?"

It shouldn't be changed simply because a candidate who didn't win the required delegates or a majority of the voters, and didn't know the process, thinks he should be the candidate.

Trump didn't even know some of the most basic facts of this system. That he didn't would astonish most people. Except, of course, Trump supporters, who seem immune to astonishment.

If Trump doesn't win 1237 delegates, it will be AT THE VERY LEAST IN PART, because the GOP leadership joined in the vile propaganda campaign the Left has been waging against him.

That is dirty pool. Don't pretend it isn't.

If the GOP throws out rule 40, that is changing the rules in the middle of the game.

Since when is expressing a political preference and supporting a candidate "dirty pool"? Particularly when that's the whole point of forming a political party in the first place.

63% of Republicans have not voted for Trump. He has won a minority of the delegates.

If Trump loses because he can't win a majority of the delegates and nearly two-thirds voting against him, you can't say the election was stolen.

Well, if you are to be consistent then even a higher number have voted against each other candidate. It isn't Trump versus everybody else.

No one else is claiming that the election is being stolen.

Well Cruz would be the only other possibility and we know he's the establishments reluctant pick.

Yeah, and if Trump manages to get the required delegates, the GOPe is going to support him. Will that make TRUMP establishment? Are we just going to hate on anyone the GOPe coalesces behind? Or is it "look, he's ESTABLISHMENT!" for everyone else, and "He's such a persuasive winner" for Trump? More double standard?

The Senate?

If Trump is the nominee - and it's looking more every day that he won't be - the Senate will be long gone.

But if he is, Republicans will have to worry about the House.

The house?

Don't quit your day job because you sure don't know politics.
