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:
Why hasn’t anyone asked Clinton ,about Benghazi oooo what Trump I will hang her sorry$#%&!@*out to dry , ladies take note please.
U got that right
And that’s why I’ve liked Huckabee – he is smart. Knows what the people want, and can present the message politely and with reason.
I don’t think we are at “overthrow the government” yet. We are at “need for a change” though. It’s our fault things are the way they are. We keep electing the same people back into an office where they haven’t done anything right if they’ve done anything at all. Most voters are uninformed and make decisions based on the talking points rather than to do a little research for themselves…in the age of the Internet. Everything they want to know is at their fingertips yet they choose to believe whatever they hear. One bad side of that is a Hillary Clinton supporter. They know how corrupt she is and will vote for her anyway…just because she’s a woman. We know she is counting on Obama’s protection or even a pardon if convicted, but she is the epitome of what’s wrong with big government but had millions of supporters who don’t care. Toy can’t fight that kind of stupid. Two terms of Barry is our reward for that kind of logic.
In an election where you have a career politician who had NEVER submitted a proposition that passed, never had a real job before his Senate seat, never worked for anything in his life…is running against another career politician who is under an FBI investigation, who “lost” $6 billion dollars of taxpayer money as Secretary of State, who let 4 Americans die in Benghazi to promote an agenda, who has scandal after scandal in her career that dates back to Nixon’s Watergate. This is a “gimme” year for the GOP but they would rather let either of these candidates do what’s right for the country than to support Trump.
Do any of you think that’s not a clue to how much both parties are really the same. Good cop, bad cop…which one is good depends which side you’re taking. Lawyers have been running things long enough. Government is big business. Time to let a business man fix it.
He would be a great VP!!
They have had too many chances…time to bring them out to pasture
He was governor of Arkansas. As much as I’d like to agree we you; I think he’d prefer being the number one guy not number two. I think he’d be great – but not what he’d prefer. I could be wrong.
Huckabee it boils down to Christians in name only!
I don’t think Trump is much of a uniter; he lied yesterday about owning the hotel in Honolulu, hocked his failed products.
Trump’s character does matter!
What about Trump’s name calling & his derisive behavior?
Glenn Beck is a “fat crybaby”, “alcoholic loser”, “liberal PROGRESSIVE”. (My personal fav)
Mark Levin is a “loser”, “sell out”.
Thomas Sowell is a “has been”, “betrayed the republic” and of course, “a loser”.
“Stupid” “nasty” ; using pedophile when talking about Carson?
Who do you think covered his 4 bankruptcies & his huge bailouts? Taxpayers!
What about his business connections with Felix Sater?
His threat to the Ricketts family?
$20,000 grant to an organization that promoted $#%&!@* to middle school students, recommended books excusing homosexual pedophilia, and proclaimed its mission is “promoting homosexuality” in the public schools to children as early as kindergarten?
