Yeah, every single delegate should revolt and vote for Scott Walker instead. The guy lasted what? One debate? Two debates? Obviously he was not very good at campaigning to get any bound delegates.

The rules are what the rules are. Delegates are bound by the rules. Trump won these delegates fair and square. He has enough of them to gain the nomination.

If the Republicans change the rules mid-stream, they are no better than Democrats as far as I am concerned. The party will be dead to me and the 14 million other folks that voted for Trump in the primary.

These whining RINOs should just shut up, hold their nose and vote for the nominee, just like those that didn't like the RINO candidates like Romney, McCain and Dole that were shoved down our throats in previous cycles did. Or sit out the election. This campaigning against the nominee must end.

How exactly would that make them "no better than Democrats"? Democrats didn't suspend democracy in 3 states like the GOP did.

Rules don't apply to Democrats as much as they do to Republicans. Or at least that's how I see it. Ask Hillary! about those pesky secrecy and FOIA rules and her home brew server.

And it was the Democrat-lead Southern states that left the union, if you want to get technical.

If you are referring to ND and CO not holding primaries, that's within the party rules. Not sure what you mean by "suspending democracy."

LOL, now you're contradicting yourself for the sake of justifying your partisan hackery. If every state held "contests" like ND/CO, Trump would've been lucky to get 100 delegates despite his huge lead in the polls.

Trump would not have even run in the GOP primaries if that were the case. Parties are private organizations and have no obligation to be "democratic".

And if "Seriously?" subscribes to that thought process, then he has no right to complain if they install Scott Walker as the nominee. Which is exactly why he contradicted himself.
