If Trump falls just short of the majority, there will be a contested convention.

If Trump falls well short of the majority, there will be a contested convention.

That is how contested conventions work.

Quote:In that case, the party will fall in line and vote him in. If he is well short of a majority, then there will be a contested convention and he will not be nominated. Trump being well short of a majority would mean that his campaign faded down the stretch. None of that requires any "planning", except for the obvious plan to keep attacking Trump as hard as possible and hope that some of the attacks stick with the voters. What will NOT happen is "dirty tricks" with changing convention rules etc to deny Trump the nomination if he has a clear and commanding lead.

They don't have to change the rules. If he does not have 1237 delegates, the convention is contested and it comes down to a vote of delegates.

Quote:Hardly. I would be "very optimistic" if I believed, like some guys who let wishful thinking get in the way of reality, that Trump is likely to beat the HAG and become the next president. In fact, I think that this is possible but unlikely, and I worry about guys getting their expectations too high and being crushed and demoralized in November.

Except there are many actual statistics that suggest that Trump is likely to beat Hillary.

I guess statistics aren't "reality" now. Only your opinion. Everyone else's opinion is just web chatter and whining.

Trump has been surrounding himself with beautiful women his entire life, top tier women like Misses, you know the 9.5, saying he is somehow obsessed with a 5'6 tall News Anchor that look just like your average blonde woman on the subway is ridiculous.


Do we have to make people remember how does his wife looks?


If there is a man who cannot be obsessed with a woman is Trump.

Interestingly... Ramzpaul has made the same prediction. I am more optimistic. I think Trump is going to surprise with women voters. Obola won a lot more votes from women than Hitlery in the 2008 primary due to what James David Manning described as his ability to "make the old ladies swoon" at his campaign rallies with his "long-legged mack daddy" pimp routine. Trump is already making Megyn Kelly swoon before our very eyes, as you have astutely noted. Female voters are much more instinctive and feral than male voters. The only factor Hitlery had going for her was the opportunity for women to virtue-signal their feminism by voting for her. That factor didn't deliver her victory over Obola and it has been severely diminished this time around with the FBI investigation, Benghazi mistakes, and especially the evidence coming to light of the hit-jobs she pulled on Bill's lovers back in the day. Al Bundy once famously said to his son Bud, "Don't try to understand women son... women understand women... and they hate each other." Hitlery's only hope was to come across as America's nice little old granny, their "Abuela". She tried that. It didn't work. The Twitter hashtag #NotMyAbuela took off YUGE right after she floated that little campaign tactic. If the Democrats weren't so corrupt at rigging their primary process, Bernie would beat her as America's little grandpa, their little "Bubby". I think Trump is going make America's female voters swoon with his "Big Daddy Warbucks" routine. And Hitlery is clearly doing terribly with male voters. I think Trump's got this. Call me an optimist.

That's where LOZ is disagreeing with you, and I disagree also. I don't think the establishment cucks have the cojones to do that. If Trump's momentum carries him up to the convention, they won't dare have a contested convention. They don't have that kind of courage.

Enigma, my remarks about web chatter and whining had nothing to do with guys on this thread, they were about #NeverTrump Twitter warriors who are fantasizing about contested conventions and smoke filled rooms. There are "conservative" white-knights on the web who are having a hysterical breakdown because this "misogynistic vulgarian" is going to be the nominee. Their fantasies should not be taken seriously.

I do think that guys on this thread are guilty of some very understandable starry-eyed optimism when it comes to Trump's prospects in the general. We want it to happen so badly that we underestimate the power and sheer quantity of American CUNTS and white-knights who will go out and vote for the HAG because they hate people like you and me. Their name is, in a word, legion.

Please don't take any of this stuff personally. I think we've made our points so let's agree to disagree.

Totally agree. Hopefully the police on scene are just waiting for the riot squad to suit up. Then they'll break out the tear gas and billy clubs. I don't at all advocate police brutality. But when a group is breaking the law so flagrantly, and refuse to stop even after the police show up; then using legal force to arrest them is totally warranted. If someone dies because an ambulance is unable to leave the area they should all be charged with manslaughter, and reckless endangerment as well.

More Trouble for Hillary: Now NSA Gets Into the Act

https://pjmedia.com/trending/2016/03/18/...o-the-act/

As if Hillary Clinton isn't in enough trouble over her "homebrew" email server and other examples of her deliberate flouting of American security policies, she's now facing the wrath of the National Security Agency:

Oh-oh. Getting crossways with the NSA/CSS (the latter is the Central Security Service) is never a good idea, and an especially terrible one when you're a) the former secretary of state and b) running for president. And no Clinton scandal would be complete without an appearance by Sidney Blumenthal, Mrs. Clinton's all-purpose factotum and hatchet man. If the following is true, "Sid Vicious" is n a heap o' trouble:

Now, over two months later, I can confirm that the contents of Sid Blumenthal’s June 8, 2011 email to Hillary Clinton, sent to her personal, unclassified account, were indeed based on highly sensitive NSA information. The Agency investigated this compromise and determined that Mr. Blumenthal’s highly detailed account of Sudanese goings-on, including the retelling of high-level conversations in that country, was indeed derived from NSA intelligence.

Specifically, this information was illegally lifted from four different NSA reports, all of them classified Top Secret / Special Intelligence. Worse, at least one of those reports was issued under the GAMMA compartment, which is an NSA handling caveat that is applied to extraordinarily sensitive information (for instance, decrypted conversations between top foreign leadership, as this was). GAMMA is properly viewed as a SIGINT Special Access Program or SAP, several of which from CIA Ms. Clinton compromised in another series of her “unclassified” emails.

Currently serving NSA officials have told me they have no doubt that Mr. Blumenthal’s information came from their reports. “It’s word-for-word, verbatim copying,” one of them explained. “In one case, an entire paragraph was lifted from an NSA report” that was classified Top Secret / Special Intelligence.

Blumenthal, Sanders, Soros, Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs etc etc - are any of the people Patriotic Americans or are they all Globalist Anti-American TRAITORS?

There's nothing to disagree with. If no candidate has the majority going into the convention, it is automatically considered "contested".

I never said the convention will become brokered and the nomination will be stolen. I simply said it was possible.

Quote:A convention is contested if no candidate finishes the primary season with a majority of the delegates. For the Republicans this year, that number is 1,237. At this point, candidates can try to convince the small number of uncommitted delegates to support them on the first ballot. If a candidate gets a majority of delegates on that vote, he wins the nomination. This is what happened in 1976 when Reagan initially prevented Ford, the incumbent president, from winning a majority, but Ford defeated him on the first ballot. No convention of either party has gone to a second ballot since 1952.

If no one gets the necessary majority on the first ballot, the convention turns into a “brokered” event.

http://www.ibtimes.com/what-brokered-con...ld-2337661

Quote:If no candidate arrives in Cleveland with a majority, then the convention is considered "contested." If, for example, Trump is within 100 votes of 1,237, then there is a possibility he convinces enough uncommitted delegates to lock up the nomination on the first ballot. Ford defeated Reagan in 1976 by similar means.

But if no one emerges with the magic number after that first ballot, the real action begins.

The states and territories are governed by slightly differing rules, but most require their bound delegates -- the ones awarded during the primaries and caucuses -- to vote according to those results for only one round.

If there is a man who cannot be obsessed with a woman is Trump.

I don't think you understand how attraction works.

Trump is a guy who has women throwing themselves at him. Kelley is a woman that desperately wants the interest of a man like Trump.

It would validate her whole existence.

Trump probably wants to bang kelley with passing sexual interest just to put her in her place and kelly wants him and hates herself for it.

For Trump, the 9.5s are standard issue, but he probably enjoys converting confused haters like Kelly out of sport.

I think LoZ is exactly right.

Knowing how men are, Trump probably wants to see Kelly's face contorted into reluctant pleasure just to have power over her and she wants it just so he'll have power over her.

Trav, it is not my intention to scare anyone or to sow doubts. Far from it, I think we should fight and do all we can for a Trump win. I just don't want guys to be badly demoralized in November after all the votes are counted and there are no more hilarious rallies with unstoppable Youtube channer centipede comment streams to tune into.

I will quote from what I wrote in the end of an earlier post:

(02-28-2016 11:05 PM)The Lizard of Oz Wrote:  A comment about possible outcomes. It is of course very possible -- maybe even likely -- that Trump will not prevail. I would not want to estimate the odds, anything seems possible from a Trump landslide to a Hillary landslide to a cliffhanger. And here is what I would like to say to forum guys:

Do not think of a HAG victory, should it happen, as a tragedy. It would not be a tragedy; it would be, merely, the resumption of regular programming, it would be what we could have always reasonably expected to happen. It would mean that certain social trends will have quite a while longer to go before they exhaust themselves and are reversed or altered in the face of FACTS. No, it will not mean "civil war", "societal collapse", or any of those things.

The right view of things is not to regard a Trump defeat as a tragedy; it is, rather, to regard a Trump victory -- should it happen -- as a stunning and wholly unexpected triumph, almost a gift from the heavens. It is not right or proper to expect such fantastical reversals; it's fine to hope for them and fight for them when the chance presents itself -- but they are not to be relied upon. When you're down 3 to 0 in a best of 7 playoff series, what you expect is to have a long offseason, make some good trades and draft picks, and live to fight another day; but when all of a sudden a player on your side becomes a f'ing MONSTER and hits walk off home runs in games 4 AND 5 -- and that's about where we are now -- you start thinking, damn, one more win and it's game 7 winner take all for the whole thing; could it be? And that's fine and you fight like hell for it. But if you get shut down in either game 6 or game 7, you don't kill yourself -- you shake it off and start thinking about those trades. Maybe you'll occasionally wonder what might have been if that one base could have been stolen -- but that is an idle thought, and no serious man should ever indulge it for too long.

But that's for the future. For now, let's do all we can to be holding that stunning and endlessly sweet trophy at the end of extra innings in an endless, bloody, legendary and never to be forgotten game 7, as the other team sits on their benches in stunned silence and desolation too deep even for tears.
