Is that even a state or is that part of Canada?

We tend to not go with the flow come election time. I believe we were the only state not to vote for Nixon too. Where's Jessie Ventura when you need him.

So if the establishment does take the nomination away from Trump at the Convention, does anyone really believe he'll play nice and sit down? He'll rage against the party and tear the Republican party to shreds and not one of his supporters would fall in line with the establishment.

So would he run as as an independent...or find a way to throw support to Hillary whom he is probably more alike anyway? That seems crazy, but few really pay much attention to what Trump says anyway. He's a winner and that's all his people care about. If he says Hillary's a winner, we'll it must be so.

You're getting way ahead of yourself.

Am I? All I keep hearing is that the establishment is dead set against Trump and will not cede the nomination to him and the only way that looks possible now is in a brokered convention. The thinking is that losing the presidency is better than the havoc a Trump nomination would bring "down ticket" candidates.

It's March. November isn't that far away.

But is Trump actively working to get on the ballot as an independent? If he waits until the results of a brokered convention, it may be too late. 30 of the states have deadlines before, or shortly after, the convention to get on the ballot. Also Texas and South Dakota have sore loser laws that would block him from getting an independent spot on the ballot. If he doesn't get the nomination, his surest path for revenge would be to support Hillary and a lot of his followers probably couldn't stomach that.

that move would be much more destructive to the republicans then Trump getting the nomination

Report: Fox News 'finished with Rubio'

You know, they wanted Trump to swear that he would back the 'chosen' candidate......you'd think the RNC would also swear to back the people's choice of candidate. That crap should work both ways!

 

[BrownArmy]

If Trump gets enough delegates and the RNC tries some back-door shenanigans to get some random person in instead of him, people will flip the eff out, and rightfully so.

That also applies to the DNC and Hillary, regardless of how well Bernie does in popular vote.

I heard on NPR that Democrat 'super-delegates' can accept campaign contributions from candidates...how is that even remotely legal?

The GOP is wishing they had more super delegates right about now...

Great debate tonight. Chump is being exposed for the fraud he is and his own personal agenda. Not that his poorly educated supporters are listening, but for the entire electorate.

Did I stutter? Trump is a Chump. The only ones who support him are the poorly educated.

OMG, you hate Trump and think Cruz and Rubio beat on him at the debate?

Funny how he has so many more votes and won more states than they have.

Like I said his supporters, such as yourself, are " poorly educated ". A general election will be very different.
