Jul 2016

a feat the successful attempt would be

And not enough credit on how easily Romney rigged things in the past.

Its a done deal..Trump gets to bow out and cry foul laserhaas Jul 2016 #14

Trump won't care. He'll blame the party Establishment... Orsino Jul 2016 #44

He's getting thousands at his rallies. His base is still there. Unfortunately. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #16

So he is still drawing thousands. I haven't seen anything for a few weeks NWCorona Jul 2016 #23

No, I believe you are correct. My guess is he's planning out the convention details. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #25

That amount was the headline PJMcK Jul 2016 #27

Yes. I think $51,000,000 was the headline. $26 mil for his campaign, $25 for GOP. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #32

Thanks for the distinction PJMcK Jul 2016 #34

Agreed! We will know on Friday I believe. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #37

The use of the word "delgates" instead of "members of the rules committee" BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #2

The article is confusing..having "delegate" in the titke laserhaas Jul 2016 #4

Unbinding the delegates alone is nowhere near enough. MohRokTah Jul 2016 #5

Our differences aside. Have you seen or better yet heard Trump? NWCorona Jul 2016 #12

Did you notice he met with Preibus n Cruz laserhaas Jul 2016 #15

Just that Trump invited Cruz to speak at the convention and that Cruz accepted. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #18

No I didn't. When did that happen? NWCorona Jul 2016 #19

A few days ago. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #22

That cut off at just the right time for dramatic effect lol! NWCorona Jul 2016 #24

Ain't that the truth! You're welcome. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #26

The Republican Convention will be a show for the ages PJMcK Jul 2016 #29

Maybe that's how they will get Trump to win? Txbluedog Jul 2016 #36

Great theory! PJMcK Jul 2016 #38

This is closer to the truth than the article in the OP, IMO. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #21

This would be good for us. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #7

I really hope they succeed. The split in that party will be epic MyNameGoesHere Jul 2016 #8

This is outrageous!... SidDithers Jul 2016 #10

Please let this happen. joshcryer Jul 2016 #11

I'm thinking something is definitely gonna up. NWCorona Jul 2016 #13

Civil War in the Republican Party. Bwahahahahaha... RBInMaine Jul 2016 #17

I don't think it's coincidence as much as wishful thinking. Exilednight Jul 2016 #45

Its not wishful thinking..Im only reporting facts laserhaas Jul 2016 #46

He will never get the delegates for the GOP nomination. Exilednight Jul 2016 #47
