Donald Trump may have come away from Super Tuesday the clear GOP frontrunner — if there was ever any doubt — but that hasn’t stopped the party bosses from attempting to block Trump from the nomination nonetheless.
Party rules dictate that a presidential candidate must receive a majority of delegates in order to secure the nomination at the convention, but Trump has yet to cross that threshold. Usually, this isn’t much of an issue. After candidates concede the race, their delegates have usually moved behind to presumptive nominee.
Considering the tenuous relationship Trump has managed with the GOP establishment, its likely that they’re unwilling to let Trump acquire other candidates’ delegates in such an easy fashion. Rather, many believe that there is an underground movement to take those delegates to establishment favorite Marco Rubio, or even Mitt Romney.
While technically within the rules of the race, such a move would no doubt be unprecedented, and signals to some, including former candidate Mike Huckabee, a party overthrowing the will of the voters.
See what Huckabee has to say of the potential takeover by the Republican Party on the next page:
Throw it over now!!!
As it should be. This government has not had the good of the citizens on their agenda for decades. It’s all about what they can get.
This is our Constitution at work, its We The People that can send our man in to shake the government and see what falls out. Of course they don’t want the peoples man, so they talk$#%&!@* We need to get back to majority rules legal people according to our constitution.
No,… its about vanquishing the theives
As quoted in tom clancy’s book executive decision”the plain truth is that government is by nature inefficient. We can’t make it more efficient by selecting people who’ve always worked in government. The idea the Founding Fathers had was for citizen legislators, not for a permanent ruling class.”
There is a permanent ruling class in Washington and they are scared WeThe People are going to derail their empire.
That would break the GOP completely if they tried to pull something so stupid. Everyone involved would be remembered for going against the people and be replaced. There are many I plan to help vote out because of their underhanded ways.
America is on its death bed…
The GOP is putting the rope around their necks and getting ready to kick the chair out from under. If they try and go against the will of the people it will end their party for good and usher in an alternative.
That’s what elections have always been about, peaceful overthrow of the government, it’s not a bad thing is how we remain balance.
I have said all along trump will never be allowed to run and win the election. This will turn into a brokered election if Mr. Trump becomes the nominee.
