No joke: Trump might have to RIG the convention to win

[ABX]

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Donald Trump--the man who spent the entire primary season illegitimately claiming that the system was rigged against him--has to rig the rules of the convention to become the GOP’s presidential nominee?

During a strategy call on Sunday evening held by FreetheDelegates.com and DelegatesUnbound.com, “Unbound” author Sean Parnell argued that’s what Trump would essentially need to do in order to force unwilling GOP delegates to nominate him at the upcoming convention in Cleveland....

He only "has them" if they are forced to vote that way on the first ballot.  With enough abstentions on the first ballot he has no delegates on the second and subsequent ballots.

You realize that we wouldn't even be having this conversation if Trump weren't such an atrocious candidate....

You say hes an atrocious candidate. 15 Million voters and most of those who voted for some body else in the Primary but had trump as their 2nd choice said he was not so bad as you claim.

And how many voters did Obama have?  Would you say Obama isn't atrocious?    Your argument is bunk.
