here is a story from a somewhat lib site, the story is pretty subjective. I am going to say it here and now if trump does not secure the nomination on the first ballot he WILL NOT be the nominee. those of you saying this is done. your wrong. with a second ballot as much as half of trump's delegates are GONE,

you need to understand the process trumpeters. If no candidate gets to 1237. a second ballot is had. according to the rules only cruz or trump can be nominated. Kasich is deranged. Many not all delegates become unbound. in plain english trumpeters, that means they can vote however they want. That means all the kasich delgates, rubio delgates and Cruz supporters who were trump delegates, now vote as they wish. Cruz has installed many of his supporters as trump delegates. Its really too late for trump to do anything about that.

saying the election is over defies simple math. If cruz wins indiana. Cruz will win nebraska, montana, south dakota, washington, leaving california to determine the outcome. Those are the states that matter.


Right off the bat you are WRONG.

Tells us why only Cruz or Trump can be nominated "According to the rules".

Please supply a list of the 2016 convention rules.

OH, and before you waste your time and ours looking.

These Rules have not even been written yet, let alone ratified by the 2016 delegates.

Remove head from ass.

Until the 2016 delegates and the 2016 rules committee set the rules and ratify the rules, there are no rules.





dude the chairman of the party said no rules changes. besides why would trump and cruz delegates support a rule change?!?!?!? The delegates there simply aren't going to support a rule change anyways. you remove from your ass. and use your head. The rules aren't changing unless for some reason there is no nominee past the 5 or 6th ballot. That is kasich's only hand.

If trump is short on delegates his only hope is to persuade unbound delgates for a first ballot majority. a second ballot means trump will not win!! trump will not win a second ballot.


Doesn't matter what the Chairman says or claims, he does NOT make the rules nor is he even allowed to vote on these rules.

Get head out of ass.

Why indeed, but that doesn't change the fact that you are WRONG in that "only Cruz or Trump can win according to the rules".

At this point there are NO rules. Got it, get it, good.




Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
