    Just speaking matter of fact here, do you guys think the RNC powers might try to loophole this election away from Trump? It's not outside of the realm of possibility for them to try. Here's a decent read on it: http://lawnewz.com/important/how-the-gop-could-steal-the-nomination-from-donald-trump-even-if-he-wins-majority-of-delegates/

    "Of course, if this happened, you can bet that Donald Trump would take legal action to stop it. “It would be playing with fire if they take it away from him. You risk tearing the party apart if you take the nomination away from him in ways that are viewed as less then fair,”

    I would view that scenario as highly unlikely, but what has been likely so far? I'm genuinely curious what you might think.

    I don't see them attempting this at the convention; they'll be laughed out of the room by the overwhelming amount of support Trump is now getting from the establishment. The only way forward for the #NeverTrump movement is if Bernie opts for a 3rd party run. Douchebag Romney could probably get on the ballot in a few states that he could steal victories (eg. Utah) from the other 3 candidates. If no one gets 270, the vote goes to Congress. Republican Congress would vote in Romney before they vote in Trump. The odds of this happening seem incredibly unlikely, but I think it's the only way that a candidate other than Trump becomes president.

      I guess the only thing I'd disagree about that is the "overwhelming support for Trump" I think a lot of folks might be publicly saying one thing to ride coat tails, but I think deep down there is a striking fear (or w/e word you want to use) about Trump and how it would change the GOP's "good old boys" club. I agree with what you're saying and believe this is what will happen, but I just think there's a lot of back room parlor conversations on how they could block Trump too.

        Hillary's campaign on suicide watch. If Bernie can win California, DNC convention is going to be contested.

        Not only win California, but he has to win in an absolute landslide which seems very unlikely.

        This debate is horrible for Clinton though, most-watched debate of the election by far and the soon-to-be presumptive Democratic nominee won't be there.

        ---

        And they can't possibly block Trump at the convention anymore - he'll have 1400+ delegates + the most votes in GOP history. The only option would be third parties which is too unrealistic of a scenario. it's easier for the powers-that-be to try to get Hillary elected.

            Bernie is just sitting back waiting for Hillary to get hauled off to the big house and he will slip in there and run vs Trump. Of course he will lose but give the old bird some credit.

                  I'm just hoping Ed's Trump infatuation ends the same was as the Goff one. With RG Clinton the 'bridge' president and Bernie Kessler the President-of-the-future.

                            I'd need maybe a hundred bottles for that to work about any Woody post.

                            Otherwise, don't need it....
