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.

Nehlen is a fraud:    http://newstalk1130.iheart.com/onair/common-sense-central-37717/is-paul-ryans-primary-opponent-really-14832665/

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.

Isn't that special?

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.

no matter how loud the NO's, they will say it was unanimous

Cantor's polling was being conducted by John McLaughlin,  a pollster with a horrible reputation, whom Trump has hired to Poll New York. And, of course, he has Trump tied in New York with Hillary.

Which is laughable.

I have no idea who Remain is.

Congrats to the Trumpsters.

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!

I usually agree with you, Arne, but not this time.

Trump isn't going to beat Hillary because his entire purpose was to get her elected.  He sucked all the air out of the room when we had a lot of good Conservative choices and some honorable people to choose from.  The media (leftist, of course) aided and abetted him because it's their dream to have Hillary back in the WH, and enough foolish people fell for his lies and now we are losing our party to a liberal, corrupt, vile Democrat, and there's no way I'd congratulate him on this pseudo-victory.

He's going to keep fouling up on purpose and giving the left ammunition so his buddies Bill and Hillary can regain power.

This is a tragic moment in time.  The Republican party now stands for NOTHING.  There's not a thing left to support in the party I once was proud to be a member of.

Sad days.......

Exactly. They made a huge deal about the rules and not changing from what they were bound yet they did it anyway for the WWE like show and symbolism. It shows the rule fight they made was just for show.

You just smeared a lot of respectable, relevant people with that ad hominem, Arne.

Trump apparently turns EVERYONE who supports him into a nasty......

Sad to see a good guy like you turn ugly.

No, he's right.

Constitutional Conservatism is no longer relevant in his party or the nation.

It has been redefined to meet both Trump and the Oligarchy Establishment's definition of "better run"giant bloated government and an all-powerful safe police state that is nationalistic and protectionist per the whims of a demagogue running for monarch.

Four years from now.  Do you really think we're going to see another election??  Given what has just happened to you really think ANY vote matters?  The fix was in from the beginning for both Clinton and Trump; one in the same.

I understand your points and part of me feels the same way.  But I'm not ready to give up completely.  We said the same thing in 2008 and in 2012 about no future elections. 

But yes...the GOP like a crime mob; they're expert at fixing things.  It IS becoming harder and harder for our votes to count.
