Explanation would be nice.

Why did he keep refusing the speakership and finally relent? Cuz they promised him a general election candidacy without the mess of a primary.

Just guessing. Could be JEB, too. Everyone hates him, but it seems candidates that people hate don't matter in this election.

to bail for some bogus reason or how do they accomplish his exit?

That's how brainwashing works.

How do they get him to exit?

It could create a firestorm, so it would take extraordinary circumstances to bring it about, but it's not against the rules.

but he has the requisite number (1,237) to secure the nomination COMMITTED BY VIRTUE OF THE PRIMARY RESULTS to him in the first round.

...but unlike a theoretical second ballot, it would take extraordinary circumstances for them to not vote as pledged on the first ballot.

of the one they are committed to that makes sense. Are you aware of how "extraordinary circumstances" are defined in this context?

and then their Convention would be SO MUCH FUN to watch--- and I'm not kidding! Would make Chicago '68 look like a spring day picnic in an idyllic location. IT WOULD BE EPIC!!!

is what I'm talking about as far as changing the rules. Would make it worth the price of admission!!!

A Trump riot at the Republican convention. I would buy a big screen TV for that.

And that's the Rules Committee at the RNC. During the Convention, the Rules Committee meets and decides what the Convention rules are for nominations. For instance, they can make a rule that allows for pledged delegates to move to other candidates on the first ballot.

And he (Ryan) certainly gives me the chills.

He genuinely did not.want.speaker because.he.wanted potus, and had to be arm twisted into speaker.

Which is why there is no chance.he would take the nomination this year, he would.have almost no.chance to win and.will be associated with the whole.cluster.ruck.

He will sit on the sidelines and not get tainted by the trainwreck, and be.the.wholly unified party candidate in 2020.

He is racist, sexist and is blatantly about his religious discrimination. All other Republicans simply make innuendos. There is a reason why Trump is the Republican nominee.

Trump.didnt happen, be IS the Republican party.

the GOP delegates at the convention can switch from T-rump to another, I think.

...they need to kick this dangerous psycho to the curb, NOW! I don't care if there is a 99.9% chance that he will lose. The 0.1% chance that he will win is far too risky. For the good of all of, the RNC needs to step in and boot Trump to the curb.

Look at how folks view superdelegates on our side. If both Hillary and Bernie were kicked to the curb, how do you think many Democrats would react?

with a much higher chance of winning? No thank you. Keep the bozo on the ticket.

The oligarchy has achieved political access and influence beyond their wildest dreams. If their greed does not exceed their judgment, they should be content with the status quo. They can live with an obstructionist House to do their bidding for now and restructure the Republican Party to better serve their desires at their leisure.

I really, really hope he flames out before then and all his delegates are left standing around with their thumbs up their asses and nowhere to put all that rage.

from now.
All of us can imagine that Trump and his team are and will be really hard to work with.
They believe that they have reinvented the wheel.

In truth, they just got lucky because of the huge number of potential nominees, and because of Trump's brazenness in taking full advantage of media attention, when in truth, he had nothing of substance to say.

just to show them.

this will be me...................>>>>

But - if his campaign really is out of funds - it possibly could not.

If the RNC does kick Trump out, they will certainly bankroll their convention choice to the hilt.

watching from abroad, trump is our worst nightmare. He needs to be stopped. And yesterday.

That way, the donors can find 13 million new voters. Clearly they don't value the existing 13 million voters.

... I thought Trump wanted to be president.

Now, I'm not so sure. I don't think he has the discipline required to execute a real campaign. Or to tactically shut his mouth.

loved about him (that fat mouth and his willingness to spew anything) is the thing that sunk him.

It says more about them than him. We already knew exactly who Trump was.

How's that working out?
