Trump will be running as an independent.

Especially in the many states that have "sore loser" laws?

Including some pivotal swing states.

1.) It's generally thought sore loser laws won't withstand legal scrutiny.
2.) Virtually every state with one either has a precedent legally (virtually all of which concern John Anderson in 1980 or Lyndon LaRouche in multiple years) or writing in their statute that excludes their application to Presidential races.

It came up previously regarding Sanders ability to do the same thing--run an an independent after losing the primaries.

and some French Chardonnay for this special event.

they don't give a shit what they do to america or the rest of the world.

They will erect statues of him if he manages to win.

Best show ever....

The nation would be watching Youtube repeats of this convention long after grammar school students of today had retired . . .

It will require bound delegates to not vote as they were bound. This would be ... interesting.

Alternatively, it would require that the bound delegates not be registered as being bound to the results of their state. That, too, would be interesting.

Will they be so short-sighted and have such short-term thinking as to forget that we repeat this entire charade in a little less than 4 years?

Should be to maneuver Trump into selecting Jeb or some other establishment stooge into the VP slot, then when he crushes Hillary in the general, impeach Trump and install Bush III.

I'm an evil genius.

All this can be avoided if we nominate Bernie instead of you-know-who.

what makes you think the BFEE would bother with impeachment...It's so messy and time consuming. Besides, they've probably learned from the mistakes Poppy made trying to get Reagan's job early and would do a much cleaner job of it this time.

Things could get very ugly in Cleveland.

As Hillary enters general election mode, there is already signs many of the GOP establishment are ready to move on and just accept Trump.

I think it's just a matter of what they can do to retain the most seats in congress.

The GOP has, without fail, allowed the worst in the party to control its direction. I doubt that will change.

Trump is threatening violence, and his inane supporters are just waiting to be unleashed.

especially considering most of the delegates will probably not be favorable to Trump.

It would be criminal election theft, but I don't put it past them.

Outside the convention hall in Cleveland. In July.

The Donald, such as he is, is their nominee. If the RNC tries to pull anything, there may indeed be blood.

The GOP has no candidate.

Why not save money and just not have a convention to nominate anyone?
