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:
If they don’t listen to the people who have already spoken, then whats the point? I won’t vote if they hand the position to Rubio or Mitt Romney. Rubio and Hillary, what’s the difference? He wont go after Hillary. She will escape prison terms either way. Let’s the chips fall where it may.
Tired if our tax payer dollars going to freebees & DC isn’t looking out for us. DC wasting our money to vote for donors & special interest groups. Giving away our great Country.
THANK YOU Mr. Obama. You ARE the Straw..

And it should be too! That IS what has to happen!
Yes! It is! We are mad as hell and NOT going to take it anymore!
By now you probably realize that the RNC Republicans, Cruz and Rubio have compromised every single principle that you have and you got nothing for it in return. You might be feeling a little sick of your stomach about now. There is one option available to you that will give you everything you want and more. Vote for Trump.
And gonna happen or it will be a war. Can’t be fooled anymore
So let me get this straight. Now we’re gonna overthrow the government. Is that like s coup? Next thing you know, we’ll be calling for a Monarch. Good grief! Has everyone gone insane?
Who’s “they”?
