The Trump/Republican Primary/General Election Megathread

[Expat]

Is a Republican government equal to a democracy?

Is a private organization required to follow either model?

RNC chief Reince Priebus comes out to squash the challenge from Alaska - so all 28 votes go to Trump.

Because shut up, that's why.

Yawn.

Trump won. He got the votes. He got the delegates.

Now choose between the mango messiah and the hildebeast.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

I can see why they were scared, and shut down a roll call vote. Think what this would look like with unbound delegates.

The establishment in action, and the Trump supporters loving it.

Official final count:

Trump: 1725
Cruz: 475
Rubio: 114
Kasich: 120
Bush: 3
Carson: 7
Paul: 2
Abstentions: 3

Did Priebus squash or did the rules?

Your answer should be justified.

Because shut up, that's why.

Because the other candidates dropped out. At least that's what I heard them say was the reason.

Something something rules be fo suckas?

Or is the convention only a sham when your loser candidate can't change the rules midstream to engineer a win out of a loss?

​Survey says ... B

Wouldn't know, as those aren't the candidates. Johnson and Weld beat the Oompa Loompa and Pope Pence any day of the week, though.

I thought the other candidates just suspended their campaigns.

With this speech Chris Christie is applying for position of Attorney General in a potential Trump Administration.

Personal opinion?

 

[hoosierdoc]

Don Jr is a fantastic speaker. I kept looking at him and wondering when he'll run for president

 

[bwframe]

Children like Trumps's don't just happen on their own. One can only think that as trusted business partners, they might be brought into the cabinet as and when needed.

 

[hoosierdoc]

As what of his ability to manage tens of thousands of employees, run an international multi-billion dollar company AND raise fantastic kids?

that dude has 50X more ability than Hillary
