Yes, it's a bit premature, but lets be honest, the GOP Establishment writes the rules and they've already told us, they elect the candidate, not us.
Without going into details and rules that would put a meth head to sleep, suffice it to say they will fight with every dirty trick in the book to keep a Constitutional Conservative out of power.

As it stands, Trump will be yesterdays news in short time, Cruz will run the board and expose the game both party's have been running, and despite the sudden groundswell of support for Cruz emerging, the Establishment and LSM have the lies at the ready, even Cruz epitaph.

So lets take a stand here and now to WRITE IN CRUZ regardless and make him the next POTUS.

God knows, I hope I'm wrong, but since when has the Establishment ever been on the side of Conservatism?

I would totally write in Cruz, but I am extremely confident Cruz mops up at the convention.

My post from the Cali tread concerning GOPe shenanigans at the convention.  But I too will write in Cruz if it comes to that

Well, as we know that will be the end of the Wigs V2.0 if they do...

I would think they would poll and focus group the shit out of any scenarios they have drawn up.....I hope they aren't that dumb to think that anyone other than Cruz could possibly save them from this Liberal vice they've created.

...otherwise the Wigs v2.0 as well as USA v1.0 is down for the count

Once Trump collapses, the war against Cruz will go into full swing, and God knows what they'll pull before the convention.
I'm with you, he'll own the convention, assuming the RINO don't change the rules on who attends.
Yeah, I distrust the Marxist crony capitalists that much.

I don't know. The establishment is smart enough to know that they can ride on - and hide in - the coattails of a winner, whereas Hilary is poison.

Think Omnibus Bill given to the Marxist and which candidate would appease the Establishment in 2017.

I stumbled on to this article about Gingrich's plan in 2012 on the Lefty site Slate when looking for info on
RNC rule 40 as it related to the following post in the Kasich tread:

True, but that's only IF the rules committee (made up of I believe) 2 delegates from each state, don't eliminate of modify that rule.  The rule was modified from 5 states to 8 at the last convention by the Romney camp muscling into the process to block Ron Paul from having a bigger presence at the convention....IMHO

Given the attention that garnered last convention and the fact the everyone is hyper aware of the rule and the rules committee in general this convention, I don't see how they can monkey around with it too much without a full scale revolt...

Anyways, its  interesting read and info even if you have to take some of bias in it with a pound of salt.

Looking back at how some of the same strategies and possible GOPe shannigans were being discussed in 2012

More proof Trump was a chosen leftist vote splitter.

FOR RELEASE MARCH 31, 2016

Just 38% of GOP voters say party would 'solidly unite' behind Trump

I was planning to do this anyhow as I have said many times on this board, but I think Cruz is winning over the GOP (Reluctantly) one day at a time.

Same here Billy. It appears he has the momentum for winning despite the hatred from the Establishment holding the rule book that can change on a dime.
However, I think it's important that we show the GOP'e we're willing to fight regardless of the tricks they pull, and we'll elect Cruz and expose the ledership as paper tigers.

With the GOP'e well aware we will follow through with a write in campaign, it becomes insurance against their slimy behavior.
They needed to be informed, and they need to know it now which is why CPF is leading the fight against the Establishment.

I wasn't sure if Colorado allowed write in candidates in the general election so I checked. From what I read, they apparently do not. However the bold text below may apply here in CO. Therefore, if Trump is nominated, I will write in Cruz.

Quote"Sore loser" laws
See also: "Sore loser" laws for presidential candidates
Some states bar candidates who sought, but failed, to secure the nomination of a political party from running as independents in the general election. These restrictions are sometimes called "sore loser" laws. Under Colorado state law, "no person who has been defeated as a candidate in a primary election shall be eligible for election to the same office by ballot or as a write-in candidate in the next general election."[27][28][29]

Ballot access expert Richard Winger has noted that, generally speaking, "sore loser laws have been construed not to apply to presidential primaries." In August 2015, Winger compiled a list of precedents supporting this interpretation. Winger noted in his analysis that because Colorado does not conduct presidential primaries, the aforementioned prohibition is moot.[30]

Write-in requirements

A write-in candidate for the presidency must file an affidavit of intent in order to have his or her votes tallied. This affidavit must be filed with the Colorado Secretary of State by close of business on the 110th day before the general election.[31][32]

If I'm not mistaken, or remember correctly, this came up in the 60s and no State is allowed to block write ins during a Presidential election.
It had something to do with Pat Paulson running, or something like that.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if one of the GOP candidates decided to test the Sore Loser law in court.
