Next question, "Whose Blood"?

I'm with ya. Only one small question/problem.

My state uses electronic machines here.

There is no place to write in a candidate. It's all touch screen. Ya don't even get a paper ballot, they hand ya a card, you put it in the puter, make the selections (vote) and voila, spits the card back out and you turn that in.

That's your ballot. Anyone know how we're supposed to write in using this system?

County registrar of Voters office and demand a ballot..

Count me in, have been planning on this for a couple of weeks if the worst happens. I can not vote for trump.

It will never be Cruz or Trump.   They are doing exactly as the party wants,  They are nullifying each other.
When all is said and done the party will chose someone else.  ie  Bush, Romney or Ryan.

Since Cruz will not be the nominee, what will be the position of this forum at that time?

As stated many times from many others...... that would be their waterloo, little big horn, Armageddon, choose your metaphor... I believe that that's what they wish they could do, but I think they will have done enough research before the convention to realize they are done as a party if they try it.

The forum does not have an opinion. Posters have their own desires. It just happens that Cruz is the choice of a number here.

Think Reagan. This race is no different in how the Establishment hates the candidate, but like Reagan, the people are choosing a real Conservative and interfering with the will of the people would be suicide for the party.

QuoteSince Cruz will not be the nominee, what will be the position of this forum at that time?

Dream on, but to entertain your nonsensical delusion.
Conservatives will not change, the forum will not change, even if the party were to choose a full blown Marxist, this forums ideals would not change.

You really have no clue as to what it means to be a Conservative, not even an inkling, do you?

It will be Cruz.  Use your brain, dummy.

Which one of those three are you putting your money on?

Unless they change rule 40, it can never be any of the three you mentioned.

QuoteRULE NO. 40
Nominations
(a) In making the nominations for President
of the United States and Vice President of the United
States and voting thereon, the roll of the states shall be
called separately in each case; provided, however, that
if there is only one candidate for nomination for Vice
President of the United States who has demonstrated
the support required by paragraph (b) of this rule, a
motion to nominate for such office by acclamation
shall be in order and no calling of the roll with respect
to such office shall be required.
(b) Each candidate for nomination for
President of the United States and Vice President of
the United States shall demonstrate the support of a
40 of 42
majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or
more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the
name of that candidate for nomination.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of these rules or
any rule of the House of Representatives, to
demonstrate the support required of this paragraph a
certificate evidencing the affirmative written support
of the required number of permanently seated
delegates from each of the eight (8) or more states
shall have been submitted to the secretary of the
convention not later than one (1) hour prior to the
placing of the names of candidates for nomination
pursuant to this rule and the established order of
business.
(c) The total time of the nominating speech
and seconding speeches for any candidate for
nomination for President of the United States or Vice
President of the United States shall not exceed fifteen
(15) minutes.
(d) When at the close of a roll call any
candidate for nomination for President of the United
States or Vice President of the United States has
received a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in
the convention, the chairman of the convention shall
announce the votes for each candidate whose name
was presented in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph (b) of this rule. Before the convention
adjourns sine die, the chairman of the convention shall
declare the candidate nominated by the Republican
Party for President of the United States and Vice
President of the United States.
(e) If no candidate shall have received such
majority, the chairman of the convention shall direct
the roll of the states be called again and shall repeat
the calling of the roll until a candidate shall have
received a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in
the convention.

I cannot do this. Despite the fact I have never seen a guy like Cruz run for president in my life (I didn't know what government was when Ronnie was being re-elected).

Trump at least holds the fort from the complete socialists and allows time for people to vote in a more conservative guy. Not voting Trump if need to is not worth allowing Bernie in. I firming believe he is offering enough free stuff to these idiot people that they will put him over HRC. I am very scared what will happen if this guy gets in. I'd rather us risk (no sure thing) go into WW3 cuz Trump can't shut his mouth than ruin the economy from the inside out and damage the country in an irreparable way like SB will do.
