A Republican delegate revolt becomes more likely

A Republican delegate revolt becomes more likely

By Jennifer Rubin June 21

The RNC delegate revolt is reaching the boiling point. As unprecedented as it might be, and as far-fetched as it might have once sounded, it is becoming the logical solution to the Republicans’ conundrum.

Aside from Trump and his true believers, fewer and fewer Republican operatives, activists or donors think Trump can win. As CNN reports, “Interviews with more than a dozen donors, party, campaign and congressional officials make clear the concerns have moved beyond bruised feelings over personal slights — and even beyond the top donors who simply won’t give to the New York billionaire.” The report quotes a former Jeb Bush donor who intends to give to Trump as saying, “This isn’t a triage-type of situation. This is a massive, full body surgery type deal and we just don’t have much time for that.”

If there were a simple fix to the problem, a delegate revolt would not be needed. But that is not where things stand right now. Tim Miller, former communications director for Bush and for the Our Principles anti-Trump PAC, says, “My view is an extremely unqualified candidate calls for an unprecedented response.”

Washington Compost is not a Conservative's friend. So why is #neverTrump allowing Democrats to lead them around like this?

Bottom line the establishment will not be allowed to steal the nomination from Trump. And make no mistake this is not conservatives trying it, its Globalist Establishment types doing this.

Jennifer Rubin?!  :silly:  another antiTrumper who has been dead wrong about Trump at every step and at every juncture. Does she even still have a reputation to fall back on?

Why do Trumpsters always bring out globalists?  Answer:  Because they can't bash Cruz any more.

Yet, though Mr. Trump has amassed 1500+ delegates during the State primary process, you continue to "bash" (to use your words) Donald Trump and his supporters. What does that make you?

Conservatives and patriots oppose Trump, and more to the point, oppose Hillary.   Trump can't win - he's dysfunctional, he's unfit, he's an idiot leading his fellow idiots over the cliff. 

If you're #NeverHillary, you must be #NeverTrump.

Violate the obvious will of the GOP primary voters and there will be a GOP voter revolt.  Trump won fair and square.  Change the rules and the GOP will resemble Venezuela.   Changing rules is the game of losers and cheaters and tyrants.

What rules? The rules governing this convention are yet to be established.

Informed conservatives and patriots support Trump. The hall mark of Trump supporters is maturity. It has been shown more then once on this threads that #nevertrump is not a conservative operation, it never was, it was started by liberal Billionaires joining with Globalist Rinos  who are still funding and controlling it with the help of democrats.  Which is why when challenged on a factual basis on another thread #nevertrump failed badly to defend their position, instead arguing talking points and emotions. 

Fact: #neverTrump is #alwaysHillary. This is so because its efforts are to select a RINO like Bush, Romney or Ryan at the convention knowing Trump people will not support the party in November if they do so. Also with up to five USSC judges appointed by Hillary and the loss of the 2nd, massive Muslim invasion and massive cultural change,  there will be no real 2020 election. Thus Logic shows who are the uninformed and not thinking their actions thru.

Trump won well over the number of delegates required to win the nomination.  He rightfully should be nominated and designated as the Republican nominee whether you like it or not.

Do you think the GOP will avoid an epic disaster if it steals the nomination from Trump?  That would be a far worse tragedy of irrecoverable proportions.

There is no required number of delegates to secure the nomination yet. There is a presumed number of delegates to secure the nomination.  Just as there is no nominee yet, there is a presumed nominee.
