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:
Trump will get things done you see how tough he is. 8 months now he’s been attacked non stop from rubio,cruz,establishment and the media. He is still leading. Give him a chance . Like he said after he wins nomination he will go after hillary.
Trump people! It’s about electing a real president of the USA ! Be sure to vote
Yes, the overthrow of this lawless government, and the status quo between BOTH parties.
I second that! It is our constitutional right!
We need one.
Not loud enough.
Huckabee is right on!!
Perry, I do believe that Trump will hinder that agenda.
Let me simplify
A peaceful take back of our country is better than a bloody one. Let’s start with the first option and pray the 2nd option isn’t needed.
