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.

No more presidents not born in the United States, I’ve had enough, curious tho how Cruz qualifies for president since he didn’t denounce his Canadian citizenship till 2015.
I will never cast a vote for hillary and turn my back on my family who has fought in every war for generations, or turn my back on my country, never ever for no reason would I vote for this evil entity Hillary.
This is about as absurd as i COULD IMAGINE! If Trump gets derailed this way, America will truly be up in arms!! What a travesty the GOP would be to violate the people’s trust!!! Time to move towards another Party and nix both the stale weathered current parties!!!
they took over along time ago
Reason to vote out all of the old suits when election time comes for them! They are out of touch with their constituents and money hungry! They are suppose to vote for their constituents but we see now how corrupt they become in Washington!
Hey here’s some more big news, the dems are doing it too! Bernie has won the popular vote in multiple states but somehow Hilary wins the state and gets all the delegates. It’s the illusion of choice…
See at this point our votes are useless if the people don’t count at this point we are all screwed
We choose,and we Choose Donald Trump!Will write him in if necessary!
LIKE HELL WE WILL ALL STILL WRITE IN TRUMP. WE THE PEOPLE WILL VOTE NOT A CORRUPT POLITICIANS.
