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:
iT IS NOT JUST OBAMO ALL THE CORRUPTION IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS REP AND DEM WE ARE TIRED NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO TELL US WHO TO VOTE FOR. THIS IS THEIR END OF THE GRAVY TRAIN RIDE. AND WE WILL TAKE IT BACK FROM ALL OF THEM,yOU HAVE MY MIDDLE FINGER FROM AND ORDINARY PERSON.
THEY DO SEE THAT IS WHY THEY ARE FIGHTING
The governemnt has already been overthrown from within ! Politicians have all violated the oathes they swore to uphold ! When our own government breaks the laws, don’t they see why so many others think nothing of breaking the laws? What ever happened to the days where ALL people were all held accountable for their actions?
We will no longer our government to damage our Constitution.
We don’t want to overthrow the government, we want RESTORE the government to the constitution it it sworn to uphold.
They have treated us as bystanders for years. Noe that we are speaking up, they are just ignoring us. With the dirty antics that are going on, this is not a party I choose to br associated with. It is time to form a new party, “we the people, for the people.”
Just Cruz looking for votes!
Yes! Woohoo!!!!
If they want to talk rules, let’s talk laws. How many are running that are NOT eligible?!
Nice name for a new party!
