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:
Leo Boyd not necessarily. If trump runs as an independent there’s a chance bernie does the same. Then it’s a 4 person race.
Brilliant point, Sir !!
Does anyone suppose that there have been meetings “behind closed doors” that if a certain someone isn’t elected they will make a deal with the DOJ for immunity and hold a press conference and tell the world where the bodies are buried and who ordered it..This someone knows too much..A lot of people in high places will end up in prison, some will be charged with treason against the United States..This is why these same people want to derail Mr. Trump…What most of them don’t get, that the more they try, they will fail. Sander supporters will switch and vote for Trump…The POWERFUL ON THE HILL ARE SCARED…
Good stuff.
Let’s take back our country.
And it’s legal!
Go protect child molesters and shut up!
The election is about the overthrow of the right wing political terrorists holdjng this country hostage
A lot of people have brought up the fact that they won’t vote for Trump if he’s the eventual nominee. I just want to put something in perspective.
Justice Scalia’s seat is vacant. Ginsberg is 82 years old, Kennedy is 79, Breyer is 77, and Thomas is 67. Nowadays, the data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after 75.
These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8 years. The next President will have the power to potentially create a 7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology.
Think about that… 7-2. If the next President appoints 5 young justices, it will guarantee control of the Supreme Court for an entire generation. And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than 5-4 decisions which are seemed to be lacking in mandate.
Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after the 2nd Amendment. She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision stating that the Court should overturn and remove the individual right to keep and bear arms. Period.
Everyone saying that they won’t vote for one candidate or the other if they are the GOP nominee, please realize this. If Hillary Clinton wins and gets to make these appointments, you likely will never see another Conservative victory at the Supreme Court level for the rest of your life. Ever
Yup the dumb$#%&!@*people who vote this anti Christ in had better wise up and vote the$#%&!@*out
