Brokered convention

FNW · Guru

I think they'll say neither have enough and put in either Rubio, Jeb, or Romney. And I will change parties to Independent.

I will vote for whoever is running against Hillary, but I will be mad as hell if they ignore the popular vote.

The public has spoken on those 3. They really need to stay at least in the realm of reality.

I agree, LL. But my bet is, they won't.

believe it's going to be trump/cruz--between them, they have the support to stop clinton

Bonny22Pye · Guru

I just heard a conspiracy theory that Trump is only running so that Hillary would win because he use to be a major donor to the Clintons.

Cheerios4606 · Guru

for goodness sake, he has been a democrat for years and years and years and years, but now all of a sudden he is republican? NOT voting for him.

That theory has been floating out there for a year. He was a donor to the Clinton's as he was to many other politician, it's called greasing the skids for better business

I wish Bernie had done better last night, but there are lots of delegates to go yet, so not giving up!
Whyyyy don't more people appreciate Bernie, he is the only decent human being still running, except for maybe Kasich. He seems okay.

I like Kasich. And really, Dona, I have no idea why people are voting for Hillary. If my choices were Hillary and Bernie, I'd vote for Bernie in a heartbeat. No thinking necessary, and he's a socialist. That's how much disdain I have for Hillary. It sickens me that this many people are voting for her.

I keep reading this thread title as conversation, and I have no idea why one needs to be brokered.

Wht is driving me mad are people saying that Kasich is still in this and is still aiming for the nomination, but Bernie should pack up amd go home, Hilary has this in the bag. Um, Kasich has won ONE state! Why is he in it and Bernie out???

That's mind boggling to me, too, Dona...

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

I like Kasich, but really?!?! At least be consistent.
I think the Powers that Be have decided Hilary will be president and everything else, including Trump, are just distractions.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I can live with Cruz or Trump. I prefer Trump because he is his own man. And, he would really shake things up. But, the GOP better be getting the message loud and clear that we are not going to take it up the establishment anymore.

I see hell fires come convention time. The people will explode if the GOP does not listen to the voters.

But, since the GOP doesn't listen to the voters anyway..

I see hell fires.

There probably will. This isn't 1896. People won't sit idly by and be disenfranchised by the so-called establishment.

Yep, and the repub powers that be have decided Trump won't be which will kill the GOP as far as the support from registered republicans. I want that to happen so we can get started rebuilding it. Dems should do the same.

He predicted there will,he is saying nothing different than those of sick of the GOP establishment.

I just heard on the news one of the top GOP leaders say, "the voters will not get to pick the candidate". Or something to that effect. Hells bells!

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Repos suck. They would rather Hillary win and then the Rinos keep their power. They figure we will then forget in 8 yrs. Then in 8 yrs they will come out and act tough and conservative again and then return to their mansions.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

GOP establishment is desperate. They are actually sending "delinquent" notices to people who didn't send money this year but did in previous years, it is not going over well.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Kasich is being a sabeteur. He has no chance to win but only staing in to create chaos. Bring it on. Bring in Ryan the wussfaced wussy. Bring in Boner and Romney. Bring in Graham and all your big dogs. Just try us.

I hope to God that you are wrong. Cruz doesn't need to be anywhere near the White House. He's too theocratic to be.

If he's VP, he's just one successful assassin's weapon of choice away from the Presidency.

I think he'll be a little short. I'm hoping he can get in the neighborhood of 1100 or so. I think they'll have a tough time keeping it from him if he's close.

if they nominate someone else, they have no shot atbthe White House. significant portione of trump voters will stay home, or may even vote for Hilary. I think it could even affect some of the close house and senate races.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Well, i really think they are going to do everything they can to put in an establishment candidate with the idea that people have short memories and run out of money and energy to protest. That if Hillary is in power for 8 yrs, then they can come out later and do their "we are conservatives and for the avg American" act when nothing could be further from the truth. They are going to take a stand here because they are like rats on a sinking ship. If they can turn the helm over to Hillary to steer through this and maintain their power, that is what they absolutely will do.
