The fact that there are so many people willing to support a tard like Trump is an indictment on how crappy your Bernie/Hillary options are as well.
Baloney. Trump will lose in a landslide. If he does well next Tues. he'll be the nominee. And mainstream Republicans will move to nominate a replacement to run as an independent.
Who do you think that helps?
Or maybe they just deny him the nomination...
But the party’s convention rules, in all their anachronistic, undemocratic and highly-negotiable intricacy, are also a line of defense, also a hurdle, also a place where a man unfit for office can be turned aside.
So in Cleveland this summer, the men and women of the Republican Party may face a straightforward choice: Betray the large minority of Republicans who cast their votes for Trump, or betray their obligations to their country.

Crankster, what do you know about the Republican Convention rules or operating
procedure that could result in Trump not being the nominee, assuming of course
that he has enough or likely way more than enough pledged delegates that should
elect him on the very first ballot
under that scenario how could he be denied the nomination?

for starters, it means the protesters are the ones being arrested, not the ones attacking the protesters. No more protesting anywhere near a secret service protected event or person.
This gives more fuel to Trumps fire as it means people feel justified in attacking a "law breaking protester". Not that they are. Just that they feel that they are. And with those kinds of people, thats what counts. Not pesky things like its illegal to assault someone. Just that they feel justified in attacking someone who is now a law breaker.

He says nothing of substance. Even his dumbest followers will figure that out sooner or later.

Wondering if anyone's mind has been changed in any way by the 4000 plus posts so far. Genuinely curious.

Ryan,
If I remember right, when you fixed ropes for me;
You were white,
You were a bad azed climber,
and you worked as a bouncer at "The Candy Cat".
I will never forget that day we met,
and I am proud to call you my friend!
Roger Brown
Edit;
That was so funny; LOL
