Yep, why even have primaries if they won't abide by the will of the people. I can't believe the GOP would play games but I was listening to Limbaugh and he convinced me they would. They have already proven to be liars about what they were going to do when we gave them Congress. |

I don't know what will happen at the convention, many bigwigs are opposed that the primary voters will be followed even with a clear cut majority supporting a candidate. They have lost touch with the base members. |

If there is a clear cut majority then they will have little choice in the matter. But if there is only a plurality then things could get dicey. |

What would you call a clear cut majority? A couple of hundred delegates? |

Anything over one half of the delegates. That is what a majority is. |

NO, if he had 1237 he would have a majority of the possible delegates. The total number of possible delegates is 2474. |
