Even the most delusional anti-Trump Republican seems to agree, the man they love to loathe is going to walk away from the GOP primary with more delegates than anyone in the race.
Any other year, this would seal a victory for the frontrunner. Those beaten would release their delegates to the frontrunner and the party would soldier to the general election as a cohesive, unified organization.
But this isn’t any other year, as Trump has disturbed all sense of normalcy and tradition in his bid to become the president of the United States, and the party isn’t happy.
The Republican Party has long been the party of ‘fall in line,’ and ‘wait your turn,’ and Donald Trump’s refusal to do either has enraged the establishment so fiercely that they’re now poised to do everything in their power to shut him down.
Reince Priebus, the head of the GOP establishment, seems so determined to get Trump off the national ticket that he’s willing to undermine the very democracy upon which his party is based.
See how he insulted Republican voters across the country on the next page:
Looks to me like a voter revolt is brewing. We are not going to let you get buy with your selfish b******t. We the people will be heard
Why even bother to have an election? Just make Obama King and be done with it.

Respectfully, you are wrong. #NeverTrump people know that Trump is corrupt himself, and would not vote for him any more than they would vote for his good friend Clinton. If the delegates cannot be persuaded to choose a good candidate, #NeverTrump people will abstain or write in someone else who we can accept (except those of us from Oklahoma won’t be able to do anything more than abstain, since we don’t have a write in option.
Don’t you worry, there will be two thirds of the party left. We’ll survive the loss of Trump and his supporters just fine.

Unfortunately, there is so much fraud going on right now, right in the open! Jeb Bush funding and supporting Ted Cruz (Cruz is just another Bush-see his record), voter fraud unlike any we’ve seen! Declaring victories that have been stolen and so on. It’s corruption on steroids! Trump is the only one that’s not a politician, bought and paid for by the corrupt establishment politicians and Globalists! Let’s hope he can make it through alive! The rest of these filthy people are debase, degenerate, self-serving scum! I won’t vote for any of them!
Somewhere in America is a good lawyer getting ready to sue the R.N.C. on behalf of the American people…
Trump did not get this far on the principle of one man one vote. In Missouri, for example, Trump got 40.9% of the vote and Cruz got 40.7%, a difference of .2%. But Trump got 25 delegates, and Cruz got 15. Those who voted for Kasich and Rubio, 9.9% and 6.1% got no voice at the convention at all. Where is the one man, one vote for them?
This is Anti-American at the highest level. I find it really interesting that both Democrats & Republicans are killing themselves spreading lies about Trump, to get rid of him at all cost anything to keep him from being President, this tells me they’re scared to death that he will end their power and extreme thievery. Too bad the American people can’t get over all the BS UNITE and all VOTE FOR Trump and also re-elect NO ONE Send a clear message to these$#%&!@*that “We the People” are in charge.
Us #NeverTrump people agree with you. We just think those voting for Trump are among the traitors (except for the very gullible). If Trump wins, it will destroy the party’s potential value as a vehicle to promote conservative values. In that case, it is the conservatives who will have to leave the party and form a new one. I’d rather Trump supporters and other RINOs leave the party and form their own than for conservatives to be the ones to have to do so. I think it will be easier to fix what we have than start again from scratch. Trump supporters however, are pushing the party further to the left, exactly what we don’t need.
That won’t happen. The contested/brokered convention scenario will only happen if no candidate gets enough votes to win, 1237. Everyone seems to be projecting that this will happen, and I know I certainly hope it does, since I want the only true conservative still in the race, Cruz, to win.
