The scheme to stop Donald Trump at the convention contains a bit of inside baseball.
The power-brokers short term game is clear; stall Trump just short of the magic number of delegates needed to be nominated on the first ballot with the knowledge that many delegates bound on the first ballot by Trump primary and caucus victories would be unbound on a second ballot. Much in the way the RNC stacked the galleries with anti-Trump partisans in the last two debates, anti-Trump quislings are be planted in various delegations that will be free to betray Trump on subsequent ballots.
The “rules” in play here simply allow our actual delegates to be turned into superdelegates… the same way the democrat party uses superdelegates to override the will of their voters.
To add to the confusion and outrage, Mitt Romney has stepped into the fray and demanded he and Paul Ryan get a second shot at the Presidency, without all that hard campaigning stuff to go through.
From Infowars:
“Mitt Romney has instructed his closest advisers to explore the possibility of stopping Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention, a source close to Romney’s inner circle says,” CNN reported. “Romney is focused on suppressing Trump’s delegate count to prevent him from accumulating the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination.”
Mitt has a condition, however. “But implicit in Romney’s request to his team to explore the possibility of a convention fight is his willingness to step in and carry the party’s banner into the fall general election as the Republican nominee. Another name these sources mentioned was House Speaker Paul Ryan, Romney’s running mate in 2012.”

Wow at statement is like death to the Republican Party. I am going to vote for Trump. Party or no party.
Civil war
Go to Hell. B
If they pull off this c**p then it’s not a democracy, it’s a dictatorship. Is this what the republican party has come to??? No better than Hillary and her bunch.
The Republican Party as we know it now will go down the tubes for this. We may have a bigger independent party and get rid of the Ruplican assholes.
If somehow Romney is the nominee I’m never voting for a Republican again. To hell with the Grand Ole Pricks!
Shameful to the GOP…..LISTEN THE THE PEOPLE…..WE DONT WANT THE SAME OLD ESTABLISHMENT…..BULLS###
Go against the people’s choice and you will be unemployed come November assholes. No re election of any GOP candidate vote for independent candidates to replace both demo and GOP. Clean out the trash in Washington and our government
Not a very good thing to say. Going against the will of the people could cause a lot of problems and it wouldn’t be pretty.
They keep this up there will be a third party
