Trump Clears Eight State Hurdle...

[Missourian]

...before you even woke up, [Northern Marianas] made Donald Trump the first man to qualify for the Republican presidential nomination.

See, in the Northern Marianas, Tuesday began 14 hours before it began on the East Coast. So its Super Threesday caucus was done overnight, and Trump won all nine delegates. In doing so, the Northern Marianas became the eighth state or territory in which Trump won a majority of the delegates. (The others: South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Hawaii and Mississippi.) And according to the rules of the Republican convention, a candidate must "demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination." No eight states, no nomination.

That's the fabled Rule 40, which governs how the nomination process works, down to the length of time allotted candidates who wish to speak to their nominations. The eight-state thing is in section B of the rule, and is a pretty high bar to meet. (The party’s rules count territories as states under Rule 1.) After all, it's not that Trump hasn't won at least eight states; he has. But only in eight (including the Marianas) does he have a majority of delegates. In the others he has won -- New Hampshire, Nevada, Arkansas, Vermont, Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana and Michigan -- he has a plurality of delegates.

Donald Trump just hit a critical threshold for the GOP nomination — one that his opponents might not

Doesn't matter. The GOP will never allow him to be the candidate, even if they have to change the rules to stop him. The GOP will assign the candidate they want Republicans to have, and you might as well get used to that idea. It's going to happen no matter what you want.

Yep, just like the Democrat Party leadership already has .... Poor Bernie, I think he believes he actually has a shot at it, apparently he missed the fact that the crown was already fitted for her Royal Highness the Queen of Deception's empty noggin.

Gotta love democracy.....

The difference is that Democrats will deal with their own rules in a mature way, and even if a few people aren't completely happy with the outcome,we will still be a unified party. The republicans, however, are in civil war mode, and they will tear themselves apart, if they haven't already.

Yeah it's always so heart warming to see that the hive-mind lemming herd in the Democrat Party is "unified", makes it so much easier when the Partisan Masters download the party line programming to the mindless drones of the rank & file.

Now excuse me while I go throw up.....
