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:
So far it’s peaceful. It can change.
It is about getting rid of thieves and putting people that care about the country
We’re all tired of the b******t from this government !
Of the ruling class any way !
If the party takes the nomination away from Trump at the convention in a crooked way then I will have no choice except to vote for a third party.
All elections are.
No it’s about the people picking who they want not the government
The repubs are their own worst enemy. Pathetic.
He is right!
If Trump gets enough electorates to get the nomination, and the RNC steals the nomination from him, they will elect Clinton. Why? Trump will run as an Independent that’s why. When he does millions of people will vote for him as an independent. The Republican Party will effectively screwing themselves. Oh! Did I mention I will be helping? I will leave with Trump. Not because I like him. Because it’s the right thing to do.
