Here is an interesting bit of history from the 1860 Republican convention for those who say the candidate with the most delegates should win even if not a majority. Sometimes the system (and maybe some divine intervention) works in spite of what we might think is the best.

Trump is going to be right at the number if not over it so it will not come into play. Even if he is not and the Party tries to do this then Trump and Cruz join forces and move ahead on the Republican ticket...or Cruz gets something else he wants.
I would vote for Adair before voting for any Democrat

Originally posted by ttechdallas View PostThere have been a couple of big stories lately showing the Dems going over to Trump are staying with Trump - they are not moving over to vote for (or against) Trump to influence who HRC gets to run against. In other words, they are switching parties altogether.
They also said the Sanders-Clinton race, since the Michigan upset, has sufficiently tightened that their supporters aren't wasting their votes in the Republican primary.
If all true, this might be a good thing. The people they interviewed could not like Obama and did not want 4 more years of him via HRC.

Originally posted by Snakelover View PostIf they're to be believed. But most that are only voting the GOP primary as a spoiler probably won't admit to it. Not to mention it's always a very tiny sampling that may not accurately reflect the larger picture. I remain skeptical.
There are some reports beyond the mainstream media that Democratic insiders fear Trump far more than anyone else. So any crossover voting being orchestrated by Dems would not likely favor Trump.

Polls I saw showed the more conservative Dems move away from Hillary toward Trump. I can't find the link for nothin now.

I've also done a google search. Then deep cleaned my internet history, cookies, etc., repeated the search and got different results - not always significantly different, but certainly not the same.
I do wonder how much objectivity we lose when based on our internet browsing habits and likes, the more we are presented with like minded hype.

Trump Cruz
Originally posted by Shane View Post"More conservative" Dems aren't actually conservative at all. They're still left of center. They're just not out and out socialists. They'd love to vote for Hillary if she didn't have so much obvious baggage. They're attracted to Trump because he is Hillary without Benghazi and everything else attached.
You don't know that all are not. There are still some Blue Dog Dems around. Albeit few. Buts it's gonna boil down to this. Choose wisely.

Trump Cruz
Originally posted by BrianL View PostRubio has 172 delegates, Kasich has 149. If they ask their delegates to vote Cruz at the convention, that puts current count Cruz 716 and Trump 652. This is a long way from over. I would look for a Cruz/Rubio or Cruz/Kasich ticket at the convention.
????
Edit.
Oh I see what you meant. If Rubio and Ohio boy give their delegates to Cruz.
