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:
Mike, I have supported you in the past, until you turned into just another political whore for Trump.
I’d rather have an overthrow of the corruption
He is right….that is why the establishment is working so hard to take Trump down….time for change VOTE TRUMP
Huckabee is not helping saying such things. Trumpster the mobster needs to tone it down. All those gabbing and stirring the pot on the media are causing trouble too. Nonsense.
All these folks gabbing about overthrowing the government aren’t helping either. We have a constitution and we need to uphold it.
Better get Term limits on Congress if you really want change.
The Government is fouled up something needs to be done!
Theresa Cockrell that man is behind move on! Oats them 5 million a yr to do his dirty jobs an cause trouble like they did at Trump rally!
the “establishment” is going to learn a hard lesson!
Long overdue, present incumbent government has run this country into the ground, it’s time they remember what a democracy is all about.
