The brokered convention is all the buzz these day in GOP circles, as anti-Trumpers look for ways to keep him from getting the nomination. Without having the 1,237 delegates needed to win the GOP nomination before the convention, Trump could face a loss at the hands of the political party.
North Dakota GOP delegate Curly Haugland told CNBC’s Squawk Box that the media has given the public the perception that the voters choose the nomination. “That’s the conflict here”, he says. He explained that it is not the voters, but the political parties that choose their presidential nominees. As one of 112 Republican delegates, Haugland stated he is “not required to cast their support” for any particular candidate as their territories and states do not hold caucuses or primaries.
Unbound delegates very well could play a major “swing role” at a brokered convention.

if that’s the case then why do we even have an election system. Why not just let all the elite pick whoever they want to be the president we become nothing but slaves in this country to our government. And the f****** Democrats don’t understand the same thing applies to them. Just like the majority of people want Bernie Sanders but they’re going to give it to Hillary. I wish both parties of people would come together and realize that it’s not the candidates we need to throw out it’s the government Elite
Me too I will protest if need be Trump is the only Honest one period.
There is no need for Donald to ever apologize, because is one of the men below, He stands for America and wont be pushed around like Obama has been, even Congress and the GOP can push him around and its pissing them off, Once upon a time …when our politicians wasn’t in it for the money, and didn’t tend to apologize for our country’s prior actions, here’s how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country:
JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in
the early 60’s when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.
DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as
soon as possible.
Rusk responded, “Does that include
those who are buried here?”
DeGaulle did not respond.
You could have heard a pin drop.
When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin
Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our
plans for Iraq were just an example of ’empire building’
by George Bush.
He answered by saying,
“Over the years, the United States has sent many
of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight
for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we
have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that
did not return.”
You could have heard a pin drop.
There was a conference in France where a number of international
engineers were taking part, including French and American.
During a break, one of the French engineers came back into
the room saying, “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt
Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to
Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend
to do, bomb them?”
A Boeing engineerstood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have
three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people;
they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency
electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias
with the capacity to feed 3,000 people threemeals a day, they
can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea
water each day, and they carry a half dozen helicopters for use
in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck.
We have eleven such ships;how many does France have?”

A U..S. Navy Admiralwas attending a naval conference that
included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian
and French Navies At a cocktail reception, he found himself
standing with a large group of officers that included personnel
from most of those countries..
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks
but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans
learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked,
“Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences
rather than speaking French?”
Without hesitating,the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because
the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t
have to speak German.”

An elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his
passport in his carry on.
“You have been to France before, monsieur?”
the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France
previously.
“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”
The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”
“Impossible.. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !”
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then
he quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on
D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single
Frenchmen to show a passport to.”
