Trump doesn't get 8 states ... the door opens rule 40 and the GOP leaves the door open for all the candidates .. the candidates win the electoral votes in their respective state ... Paul wins Kentucky, Christie wins NY etc and the electoral vote for Donnie is diluted down, thus insuring him a loss in the General.
RINOS have horns ...
Huh? Electoral votes? Do you have any way to explain what the heck you are talking about?
if Trunip doesn't win 8 states the other candidates get to be a part of the election if the GOP exercises rule 40 .. the states they win they get the electoral votes..
if I remember correctly. .. I'll try and find what I read and post it.
nonetheless, it could be a maelstrom come election time.
and of course I didn't remember correctly .. this is close enough.
Officially, it’s Rule 40 in the RNC handbook and it states that any candidate for president “shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states” before their name is presented for nomination at the national convention.
In a scenario with a commanding front-runner, this doesn’t seem like a high threshold to cross. But with the absence of an heir apparent standard-bearer and the most wide open nomination battle in decades looming, some RNC members think Rule 40 could crack open the door to the possibility of a convention floor fight. The theory: If no one candidate has secured eight states, it invites a free-for-all without a reason to get out. Conversely, if multiple candidates garner eight victories and accrue hundreds of delegates, each could claim a right to soldier on. For instance, it isn't inconceivable to think that Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., could dominate the Northeast, with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. performing well in the South and Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisc,, racking up victories in the Midwest.
