Not a Single Republican Delegate Is ‘Bound’ to Donald Trump

[kjam22]

You do not get it The RNC has anointed Trump. They per the USSC are masters of the convention. They can eject, void and replace anybody trying this. The price will be NO input in the platform etc going forward. Make no mistake Trump people will not allow it either and thanks to Manfort they will vastly outnumber your people. I would like to see Cruz people involved in going forward, but this stupidity will cause them to get kicked out.

Oh I agree.   They aren't going to do anything.  But dumping King Trumpy is easy.   They won't because of voter pushback.   They have decided to ride King Trumpy to defeat and run someone else against the beast in 4 years.  And they'll blame his loss on nevertrumpy conservatives when in reality King Trumpy never stood a chance.

Name the Trump delegates.  Additionally, name the Trump delegates on the rules committee.  I would like to see a list.

It will be easy to name the Cruz delegates on the Rules committee if they try this. None.

The rules aren't necessarily as the rules committee proposes them.  Any convention delegate may propone a rule, or a modification thereto, under normal business.  Ultimately, the final rules are voted on by the entire convention.

I wouldn't be surprised if more delegates weren't paying attention to how things are done, this year.  So, it is possible that not all the rules will come untouched,  from the rules committee.

Its just getting sad. Its not really worth arguing with you folks, you're going to be devastated when the convention rolls around because none of these fantasy scenarios have any chance of occurring. Move forward, the primary is over and Donald Trump is the Republican nominee.

Some Mechanicos... has not been paying attention.

Or maybe Mechanious is just another boiler room poster.

Surely he knows that the delegates have .. for the most part been selected.. and  The Honorable Ted Cruz has kicked InCompetTrumps *  in this regard.

And those Cruze delegates ARE going to Convention.

Maybe @Mechanicos can elucidate how the already selected delegates ... are no longer selected?

Then humor us with the absence of your presence.

So, why do you bother?  Just leave us to our "fantasies".

Now that there ... was funny!!!

[Mechanicos]

Why? Because some Fanatic idiots might actually believe this stuff resulting in a lot of good Constitutional conservative Cruz delegates getting ejected from the convention when they can be very helpful going forward.

You made the claim.  Name 'em or recant.  Otherwise that makes you a liar.

Could it possibly get any worse than it is now?

This is about the only hope we have left. Barring the unthinkable, we're in for a very troubling next four years regardless.

You do not get to make the rules here.

True enough.

But every poster/guest here.. gets to see the truth. And make judgement of truthful posters. Or non truthful posters.

Capish?

I for one won't be in the least devastated.  I know Americans are pretty stupid - they elected Obama twice - although I am a little sad that 40% of the GOP voters are just as abysmally stupid as the fools who elected Obama.  The Trump nomination is, in fact, an object lesson in why the Founders designed a representative republic and not a direct democracy, because they were highly suspicious of demagoguery.  They were absolutely right to be worried because we now can see how easily it is for a demagogue to slip in when you have a direct democracy.

Such is life.  You people wanted to blow up the business-as-usual GOP; well you did, and Hillary Clinton will be thanking you for it for the next four years, at least.

So no, I'm not devastated.  Just disappointed at how you and yours have joined forces with the democrats to destroy this country.  I will, of course, be utterly beside myself if we get a miracle and wiser minds prevail over yours, but I'm not expecting it.

You need me in this room. I'm the anchor of sanity in your sea of madness.

In other words, I drew the short straw on the TCG and now its my job to continually make you face reality. No easy task, mind you.

True [Christian] conservatives are a more hope-filled lot, so they never give up. If sports teams thought like you, for instance, they'd all be in the poorhouse.

Aww, how sweet.  The babies in the safe space decided to come out and show us how you play patty-cake.

Well, you're data has a major flaw. Trump is now pulling in around 86% Republican support in the general election. So I guess you'll have to declare the vast majority of Repubs to be morons, unable to bask in your own astute brilliance. If only we could comprehend your greatness and see with the wise eye of your vast discernment.

Case in point...your postings in this thread, along with Fantom's.

so you think trying to get me to chase a squirrel which has nothing to do with the fact the Idiots who think this is a good idea will be ejected from the Convention by national makes me a dishonest person. I say Trying to take off on a irrlevent side track is the dishonest play. Capish. Agreeing with is is also dishonest, Capish?

Well, at least an "honest" worm.
