They weren't delegates. Not all speakers are delegates, many times they have special guests from the State.


We can always do something positive and get behind Paul Nehlen.  Paul Ryan is in real trouble.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/07/09/paul-ryan-plummets-to-43-percent-in-new-primary-poll/

Wisconsin’s first Congressional district.

The poll was conducted by P.M.I., with 424 respondents randomly called from a file of 11,000 likely GOP primary voters. It shows that with one month remaining before Wisconsin’s August 9th vote, Ryan is polling at 43 percent.

Ryan’s challenger, Wisconsin businessman Paul Nehlen, is polling at 32 percent.

The Nehlen campaign notes that Ryan’s 43 percent “represents a drop of more than 30 points since the Nehlen campaign began polling likely Republican primary voters earlier in the year.”

You asked for it, right?

Asked for it how? I neither voted nor supported Trump.

Sometimes this place is like the TOS.. The best thing to do is vote GOP Down ticket, which I'm planning on doing.

The GOP down ticket cronies are who got us into this mess.  THEY are as much to blame as the Orange Blossom himself. Who do you think is leading these phony delegations.

The first speaker from New York introduced him as a member of the delegation. Small point, was just curious, probably not worth pursuing.

Semantics. The delegation doesn't just include authorized delegates but alternate delegates and special guests. A delegation is everyone in that State's group. Only delegates (per the State's rules) have votes but they aren't the only ones on the floor for the State.

I was 100% wrong when I wrote here last year that he was on a vanity mission and wouldn't last.

Now, let's go beat Hillary!

Man I gotta read this bellyaching all night? Calm down people. We all knew Trump was the nominee.

This place is a real bummer sometimes.

Most of us fully expected Trump to be the nominee.

If you're bothered by people venting, you're going to be downright suicidal watching him lose to clinton.

This is the moment when usually a motion is made to make the nomination unanimous. I guess they don't want to risk the "no" chorus.

It is pretty obvious to me that Trump has been a stalking horse for Hillary all along anyway.

Yep, if you think you've seen gaffes and slip ups so far, you ain't seen nothing yet!

LIke I said on another thread I fully expect Hillary to be President in November. Can't say I wouldn't want to be wrong.

Trump is handed gift after gift but at heart he's a damn fool, and shoots off his idiot mouth.

Law of averages says he's bound to screw up after screw up.

155 - 104 to Cruz.  3 to Rubio.  48 to Trump.  Wow!

Texas rocks!

Except for Patrick, of course.

Maybe they've just decided to go full North Korea and give Trump 100% of the votes?   :shrug:

Yep.

The GOP is a totalitarian party now.

The Nehlen campaign notes that Ryan’s 43 percent “represents a drop of more than 30 points since the Nehlen campaign began polling likely Republican primary voters earlier in the year.”

The poll was paid for by Nehlen. PMI conducts so few polls that Nate Silver doesn't even rate them on his Pollster rankings.

Ryan is not going to lose.  He never has.

OK, here is what I'm reading on the allocation issue and why some weren't allocated the way they were bound. What they wanted to do was have NY cast not just the deciding vote, but exactly 1237 so they played with a couple of States allocation ahead of time and then with the couple of passes, NY gave Trump exactly to the 1237 mark.
