*Florida is really important. It’s a closed primary with a winner take all delegate allocation.

*If you live in Florida, you must register Republican by February 16 in order to vote in the Primary.


*Everyone should register Republican and find out your precinct to vote/caucus just to be on the safe side. It’s important to get out and actually vote in the Primary because Primaries have notoriously low turnout, so, your vote actually matters.

*The reason it's important to register Republican now, is that many states have closed primaries, which means you can only vote for Trump to be the Republican nominee if you are registered Republican. Many of Trump's supporters are not registered, or are Independents or Democrats who support Trump. So, Please Register Republican if your state is a closed Primary, which, includes Florida, Nevada and others!

*With regards to becoming a delegate, sign up at Trump’s website https://www.donaldjtrump.com
to start receiving emails and try to find out the campaign manager in your state. Ask him/her what you can do, and what the process is for becoming a delegate in your state. This is optional, obviously, and you may not have time to do anything except vote, but at the very least everyone SHOULD VOTE.

Some Important dates and information on the Early Primaries, which are most important, whether they are closed to Republican Primary voters or open to any voter, and whether they are caucus states, or regular primary states. All leading up to Florida, which, isn't the last state, but is the most important, if Trump Wins Florida, he wins the nomination.

Every vote in every state matters this year.

Trump is likely going to get a strong plurality of the total vote, but I absolutely believe in my bones that if he's a single delegate short of a majority, the insiders will try to screw him out of the nomination and they may succeed. So it's important we put him to 51%.

Good thread.

New York doesn't vote until April, so we're kind of late.

Agreed every vote counts. Registered and waiting for April 23...

The primaries are actually crucial and are easily the best way this forum can make a difference. Some stats to prove this:

http://bipartisanpolicy.org/wp-content/u...Charts.pdf

Typically less than 10% of America votes in the Republican primaries.

Voting in the primaries is easily the best use of a man's time in American politics. Your vote will never matter more.

Just got my letter today confirming that I am now registered as a Republican and eligible to vote in the primary. Back in 2012 I had voted in the general election for Obama as an independent. Things have changed.

I voted for Ron Paul in the primaries 4 years ago and watched in awe as he begun to quietly snatch up delegates and then in horror as the entire RNC conspired to fuck him over.

If it taught me anything its that your vote doesn't count if it goes towards a candidate without financial power.

I believe Trump is anti-establishment (not nearly as much as Ron Paul) and possesses the power and influence to overcome establishment rigging. The media blackout of Ron Paul exposed how much they feared him, the opposite seems true of Trump. The powers that be may not like him but they certainly aren't afraid of him.

^ The media does not have the power to black out Trump. He's one of the richest and most well-connected men in the country, with decades of experience in business and media. Not to mention the huge ratings he generates.

The majority of the mainstream press Trump gets is not even positive, they're just playing defense against his grass roots campaign.

Post: #9

"The powers that be" my ass.

The media can't help themselves with Trump.

His ratings are too good.

If he was a dopey and unnoticible as Paul then it would be lights out, but he's a star so the spotlight is on him.

Post: #10

I could potentially change my state that I vote in, seeing as how I live abroad. I am wondering whether Trump could use my help more in the primaries or in the general.

Post: #11

Not only is the media not blacking out Trump, they've been actively shining the light on him. They seem to think doing so would wreck his campaign but it's actually been making it stronger.

Post: #12

Any media that refuses to cover Trump loses out on tens of millions of dollars in advertisements. Trump has them by the balls. If they do not report him, whoever does will get all the ad money and become the biggest media company. In order to stay competitive, the media is forced to cover Trump.

Post: #13

If I were American I would be signing up to vote in the republican primaries right now!

Post: #14

I bet you guys are pumped, sing the Donald song all the way to the voting booth!

Post: #15

Yeah I was pissed as I watched Ron Paul get fucked out of the election by a cocksucking shittird media that denounced him as "unelectable".

Fuck the media.

But mainly, men on this forum need to rally up some serious gangs of new York style fervor like they did in the old days when you voted early and often.

The MSM and Hollywood (same thing) put out this derisive garbage, cunts proliferate it on social media, and weak men believe it and end up voting for fucking pussy-ass, feminized leaderers.

This is why women shouldn't be allowed to vote. They can't mentally process the impact of their decisions.

Can anyone register as a republican and if so would it be possible, at least in theory, for a large number of democrats or simply Trump haters, to register just to vote against him and costing him the nomination?

That would also forfeit their right to vote Democrat.

I don't see it happening.

Got, it, good to know, I'm not well versed on how the primaries work.

I just registered online in my state.

Looks like the magic number for Trump is actually 54% of the delegates and a majority in at least 8 States to avoid a potential establishment back-room deal.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/...ald-trump/

Quote:The insiders have a stunning plan to stop Trump even if he wins the primaries.

The plan involves stalling Trump short of a majority on the first ballot, since many of the delegates pledged to him would no longer be legally bound to support him on subsequent ballots. There are many, many Trojan Horse delegates inserted by the GOP establishment who could bolt from Trump after that first ballot.

Remember, up until March 14 all primaries have proportional delegate allocation. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
, Chris Christie, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79%
, Jeb Bush and the rest will be winning delegates, too.

There are 278 Super Delegates who are GOP establishment insiders, likely opposed to Trump. They constitute 4 percent of the convention. Thus, Trump must win 54 percent of delegates elected in caucuses and primaries to guarantee he could block a plot to stop him.

To make it worse, Convention Rule 40 B says the Candidate must have a majority of
delegates in at least eight states. The Romney people passed this rule in 2012 when they had control of the party. It hurts Donald Trump.

By hanging in the race long after they have any chance of being nominated, sustained by Super PAC money, Trump’s opponents can drain votes and could perhaps stop Trump from gaining a majority in any state – even while he is winning a plurality. Bush, Christie, Rubio and Kasich, I’m told, are in on this plan. Many GOP insiders calling it the “BIG STEAL.”

For example, Trump could win every primary, but the Bush-Rubio-Christie-Kasich-McConnell-Ryan-wing of the GOP could block Trump and seize the nomination for an establishment alternative. Rule 40B could block Trump from the nomination, bypass Cruz and pave the way for a backroom BIG STEAL deal that nominates, say, a Rubio-Kasich ticket.

Many party moderates and GOP congressional establishment types would rather have Hillary Clinton, who they can wheel and deal with, then Trump, who vows to drain their swamp.

I actually think the GOP establishment would be less likely to do this than the author thinks as they would likely permanently lose Trump's supporters and a significant portion of non-Trump supporter who nonetheless are anti-establishment (i.e. Cruz, Paul, Fiorina & Carson supporters). Once it is known that the people don't control the party, they will abandon it.

However, don't ever underestimate cuckservatives and how far they would go either.
