It does nothing to change the first ballot. Trump will have the numbers.

Yeah, as much as I wish anyone other than trump would have it.... he's got it. The fight is over.

All of Washington’s delegates are bound by party rules to cast national-convention ballots based on the results of Tuesday’s presidential primary, he noted.

As if the fact Trump will have the delegates needed before the convention there is that bit of information as well..

As if on cue: a Trump supporter who is emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually unfit.

The Black Shyster above is about as correct as the Huffington Post was in July....

• A Note About Our Coverage Of Donald Trump’s ‘Campaign’
  Huffington Post ^ | July 17, 2015 | Ryan Grim; Danny Shea
  After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won’t report on Trump’s campaign as part of The Huffington Post’s political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump’s campaign is a sideshow. We won’t take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you’ll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.

That's a particularly irresponsible statement coming from one who prides himself on being an intellectual.

MSNBC poll, funny

Do you want to see Donald Trump become the next President of the United States?

Politics. Many Republicans are going to get in their official "Never Trump" stamp on paper and on record NOW....just in case he loses. That way they can say "I told ya so" for the 2018 and 2020 elections.

By November....they'll all be hitting the Trump button in the booth. 8 years of Crooked Hillary is just unacceptable.

Trump, orangutan chump, got his bump, but come Novermber, the game of Ender-will render Trump a sawed off stump.

I don't really give a dime, for your stupid rhyme, and when it comes to the vote, Trump could carry the load, because not one of us is voting for that criminal ho.

Washington State is dumb, enough said.

This symbolic gesture won't make a lick of difference, but I admire them for at least standing by their principles.

They are obsessed with standing by their principles while their party is being taken away from them and turned into a Party of the Common Man.

In a few years, the Pubs will be out-Democrat-ing the Democrats.

In some areas; anyway; and spanking LibTards in other areas.

I'm confused by this statement. You say that people are obsessed with standing by their principles, while the party is being taken away.

I'm not sure what you mean by any of that, or the idea that it's a party of the common man.

Are you suggesting people shouldn't be committed to principals? And what does the party of the common man mean?

My view has always been that I would rather not have a party, than have a party that doesn't stand for what I believe. What's the point of having a party that wins, but wins only to do what I don't believe in? I'd rather lose. Losing really isn't all that bad. At least then I can say it wasn't someone I voted for that screwed everything up.

How is being an accomplice in destruction, a positive just because your party won?

What are you trying to say here?

 

[Kondor3]

...I'm confused by this statement...

This will fix that.

...You say that people are obsessed with standing by their principles, while the party is being taken away...

Correct.

...I'm not sure what you mean by any of that...

This will fix that.

...or the idea that it's a party of the common man...

More like it is on the verge of becoming the Party of the Common Man.

...Are you suggesting people shouldn't be committed to principals?...

Nope.

But when they're so busy manifesting their resolve to stand by their principles that they lose control of their mechanism, that's over-doing it.

...And what does the party of the common man mean?...

If you don't understand that concept, you may be in over your head.

Specifically, in this case, the Party of the Common Man is the Republican Party of the distant past, before it was sold to the Corporatists during and after WWI.

...My view has always been that I would rather not have a party, than have a party that doesn't stand for what I believe. What's the point of having a party that wins, but wins only to do what I don't believe in? I'd rather lose. Losing really isn't all that bad. At least then I can say it wasn't someone I voted for that screwed everything up...

If you will not take a stand while acting out of belief, perhaps you should take a stand while contributing to Damage Control during such a crisis.

...How is being an accomplice in destruction, a positive just because your party won? ...

What destruction are you referring to, here?

...What are you trying to say here?

I am saying that we have been witnessing a Populist Rebellion on both sides of the aisle... Sanders on the Left, Trump on the Right.

Populist Rebellions have a way of getting out of control, as we have seen happen with the Republican Party primaries this year.

Rebellions happen because The Will of the People is ignored for far too long, until a mouthpiece and figurehead shows up, and leads the Timid Sheep back to their voices and courage.

If Trump gains the Presidency, he gains control of the Republican Party, and the present-day rich-bitch Ruling Elites will be at risk of being shoved aside..

That would leave the Common Folk in control of the Party for the first time in a century.

One pleasant and highly desirable outcome which might arise from a highly UNdesirable Trump presidency.

But, it's the Fate of Man, that he does not learn from his failures; consequently, the leadership of the GOP will continue down its age-old path of arrogance and ignoring their constituencies, to their very great political peril.

So they should jettison their principals to avoid losing control of the party.

Well if you support a party, so that your party wins.... even if they win by supporting policies that are destructive, how is that a win?

Years ago there was a guy I knew who wanted a Corvette. But he really didn't earn the money for such a car. His family gave him an ultimatum, and he kept the car. Lost his house, his wife, his kids, and ultimately the stress of his victory led him to lose his job, and then he ended up losing the car anyway.

But he won the victory of controlling his own life. He kept the corvette for as long as he could. No one was going to take it from him.

When you say that people in the Republican party should not stand firm on things they believe, and instead should compromise their beliefs for the sake of keeping the party.... When the party turns into a party of the common man, and wins.... but ends up destroying the entire country..... how is that victory?

You say that we have a Populist Rebellion because the "will of the people" has been ignored. First, I don't even believe that. The people have gotten nearly everything they wanted, and it sucks. Like a toddler who demands cake and ice cream, and then complains at everyone because they are sick.

So should we bow to the populist will of the people, so the Republican Party can win, even if those populist policies destroy the country, as populism has world wide?
