Delegates used to have the option to go rogue.

Present rules don't allow that. If a delegate votes in a manner that violates a rule of their state's party, their vote is voided and a vote is cast that is in accordance with the state.

That is totally incorrect! That rule was done away with long ago! The article at the link below explains it all.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I believe Trump is a manchurian candidate who's been doing the bidding of the Clinton's the whole time. He will purposely self-destruct to hand the White House to Clinton. I'm sure there is a quid pro quo involved.  :chairbang:

You are correct.  Trump probably checks in with the Clintons to stratergize.  He probably says, "can you believe those idiots?  They actually believe I am a conservative Republican".  They laugh and laugh and make dinner plans.

I thought about posting that article here as a stand alone thread but decided against it.  Wouldn't want to upset the Trumppets!  ^-^
