The American Electoral Process is Disposable and An Exercise in Futility

The American vote is disposable and an exercise in futility....

Never-Trump Republicans Start To Make Last-Ditch Plans For Cleveland

Trump’s disastrous week has gotten anti-Trump Republicans talking again about ways to stop him. “The momentum seems to be on the side of fixing this in Cleveland. The last 3 days has been active, based on the past 3 weeks of what it’s like for him to be presumptive nominee.”

One of the principal ideas being discussed would be to find a way to make delegates free to vote for whomever they choose. The RNC’s Rules Committee, which has 112 members, meets before the convention starts, and they could in theory hold a vote to unbind the delegates.
“I would say if you have a candidate or two candidates who step forward, Donald Trump will not be the nominee,” Spiker said.

(Spiker also proposed another route, which is delegates abstaining.)
In a post on Medium on Wednesday, Never Trump PAC strategist Rory Cooper wrote that there needs to be a “mechanism” by which delegates can vote for an alternative.

“The Rules Committee have it within their power to install a mechanism whereas if a potential nominee crosses a line or embarrasses the party to an extraordinary degree, delegates can vote for an alternative candidate,” Cooper wrote. “Many in the party believe Trump has already crossed that Rubicon.”

ALL I CAN SAY IS, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAD BETTER NOT GIVE ME A LARGE BLACK COFFEE WITH A LOT OF GAY-ASSED SUGAR.

I HONESTLY DO NOT CARE WHICH WAY THIS GOES.

IF THEY WANT A FIGHT, THEY CAN TRY TO TAKE OUR CANDIDATE AWAY.

If they try this, w/ 1500+ delegates already committed to him, they have no understanding of the fury they will unleash.

Already knowing what happened if you feel this way about Clinton now 13 Hours will absolutely make your blood boil.

Hoo boy....paging Valerie Plame & Joe Wilson.....“In the process of publicly releasing the emails, however, classification experts seem to have inadvertently provided a key to anyone who has the originals. By redacting names associated with the CIA and using the “B3 CIA PERS/ORG” exemption as the reason, “Presto — the CIA names just fall off the page,” Baker said.
