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:
For the people by the people… Remember!
I can not believe the establishment does not see the anger of the American people, we have voted them in office with a promise of change, stop Obamacare, Obama and his lawlessness, disregard for law, the constitution, the American people and future of our nation and the establishment disregards our votes and goes right alone with Obama and the Democrats. We are sick and tired b of their lies, broken promises and disregard. It is time to junk the Republican establishment if necessary to save our country….
You damn right it needs to be overthrown
Thank God
Yay
So glad!!!
TRUMP COMMANDER IN CHIEF. !
We want it back peacefully by voting. But if the Republicans and Democrats stop our votes there’s only one way we have to go. Don’t back a wild animal into a corner.
Yes, keep the movement going!
Trump takes another one on the chin for America….he’s still standing. Trump 2016
