> Political parties, not voters, choose their presidential nominees, a Republican convention rules member told CNBC, a day after GOP front-runner Donald Trump rolled up more big primary victories.
>"The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nomination. That's the conflict here," Curly Haugland, an unbound GOP delegate from North Dakota, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. He even questioned why primaries and caucuses are held
>"The rules haven't kept up," Haugland said. "The rules are still designed to have a political party choose its nominee at a convention. That's just the way it is. I can't help it. Don't hate me because I love the rules."
Is this dumbfuck right? Or is he totally delusional?
>getting slid this hard
Here, have a bump.
>>67752941
he's right
but it would still be suicide to deny trump if he has a clear plurality. his platform is fuck the establishment because they are out of touch and either corrupt or incompetent. to snub the electorate would just prove his point.
>>6775294
Probably right, and he's just saying that cause the GOP is about to piss off millions of Trump supporters....
Fuck the GOP, faggots make the Candidates sign a fucking loyalty pledge because they thought Jeb or Rubio would win it....
Now all the GOP puppets are out so they rip up the pledge and start talking Brokered Convention....
Republicans and Democrats are a fucking joke.
Democrats use Superdelegates to tell the voters fuck you we want Hillary....
We don't need the GOP: Trump will run AFP if need be!

>Curly Haugland
He has a name.
He has an address.
If he betrays the American public, people should pay him a visit to discuss the matter.
>>67752941
Yes, absolutely.
Problem is, popularity legitimizes a candidate.
It would not only be suicide to nominate someone unpopular, it would break the democracy illusion, which is one of ghost pillars the establishment relies on to remain powerful and keep everybody abiding to its rule.
To shit on the voters would be to dissolve this aetherial pillar, it would show there is no democracy, and even worse, it'd show both wings are under the same umbrella of interests. It would be a clear taunt to the american populus "Come on peasants, revolt, i dare you to revolt you red blooded fucks"
A system is not held up by the military, or the police, guards, or any type of force. It is held standing by the popular belief it's decently fair, and this fairness will remain consistent.
In short, they can, but it would be an extremely risky move. That's why they want to prevent trump from getting the 1200+ delegates first, to make it seem like less of a con job.

Good job, now stop pronouncing Ramen as Ram-yun

Stop fearmongering, if we hit the delegate count they can't refuse
>>67758789
Just because there's white in your flag doesn't mean you are.
>>67752941
Sure, the party gets to choose the nomination.
But the voters get to decide whether or not they'll vote for them. Going against Trump would be suicide and guarantee a win for Hillary.
bump. this is nasty, send to trump

Yeah well if America and Europe get enough brown people to throw all the elections it's all fucking over
>>67752941
The dumb fuck is right. That said, doing that would risk alienating your voters the way Shapiro has alienated his younger audience.
Israel first, party second, country last, if u dont believe this your not a real republican.

>needs over half of remaining delegates
Marco is out and Kasich doesn't get a second homestate. You're a shitposting delusional redditor going from bernie supporter to cruz supporter to hillary supporter, it'll probably take two more weeks top for you to start shilling for hillary.
