    Lol, I had a lengthy discussion with Gorn on this exact matter where I specified in every one of my posts that Trump is ahead by 5-10 points in 10 California CDs and double digits in the remaining 43 CDs.

    I got tired of typing this over and over again and given that it was not important in the context of this discussion I shortened it a bit.

    But if you insist, Trump is winning every one of 53 California congressional districts. He is winning 10 of them by 5-10% and 43 districts by double digits :D

    Obviously Hillary was forced on us by DNC, but as for Trump, the RNC simply needs to change its primaries(Move the HELL out of the South). Literally, they gave Trump an insurmountable lead. It's not like the RNC wants Trump(we all know, they don't.) But the populist wing that moved into the RNC, well a lot of them have more faith in Trump than I do(See: My little ongoing tit-tat with Tsuke.)

    There was a time when I thought Trump could be a puppet for my/our ideals, but he's shown himself to be a complete blowhard. You actually HAVE to be relatable to work with the other party.

    lol no , I am just mocking him. But Cruz talks like he writes for the onion. He literally parodies himself, but I don't think he realizes with his "It doesn't matter that I am losing because I am still winning" talk.

    Yeah, I did, and LOL @ Trump's Grand Scheme!

    Someone told me earlier this evening that, in an interview with Chuck Todd, Bernie said "of course" he'd support Hillary, as the most important thing is to keep Trump out of the White House.

    Yet one more way I consider him to be a great American. :flagus:

    Politicians say lots of stuff, it's not human nature to just give up after trying so hard for so long, just to be a lap dog to an old hag.

    Too bad his young supporters aren't going to support Hillary

    That will make them much closer to being great Americans :flagus:

    Do not underestimate Clintons. They are known as the most corruptible and dirtiest players around. She will make an offer to Sanders he won't be able to refuse. She needs him to campaign for her. Hillary hasn't got a chance without Sanders' supporters.

    you debate like a petulant child. "Nu-uh"

    They have uncommitted delegates. Those are mainly RNC delegates appointed in each state (3). They are UNBOUND !


    FACT

    Yeah. I knew as far back as 2012 the DNC had decided on Clinton as their nominee for 2016. Your correct about Trump and the RNC, throw in Republican House and Senate members and most state party leaders. They really do not want him. I tend to forget that when I see Trump marching towards the nomination. Of course being a Goldwater backer back in 1964, I am sure a lot of party leaders felt the same about him.


    One has to wonder if the Republican Party isn't moving away from its conservative values into a more populist party. Trump has been the most liberal candidate of the 17 this side of perhaps Pataki. No doubt about it. Yet that doesn't bother them. I think it is fitting Trump may have wrapped up the nomination with the voters of the most liberal section or region in the States. The Northeast.

    I do not think it is the south that is the problem. When the primaries were held down here there still were 15 or so candidates and he won the states with vote totals mostly in the low 30's. Good enough. Most of us down here in January thought the south would go for Cruz. How wrong we all were. But In a few states down here Trump is in trouble vs. Clinton. At least now.

    Which I have repeatedly affirmed. No one is saying otherwise. You claimed uncommitted delegates are super-delegates. They are not.

    Democrats have superdelegates so established members of the party maintain control over the nomination process. The GOP does not have superdelegates in the nomination process.

    No offense Zorro, but you have no idea what your talking about

    The "unbound", or now called "uncommitted" delegates are the 3 RNC appointed delegates for each state. The "establishment members".

    Again, their is NO difference. Granted, their are fewer of them in the Republican party, but they still serve the very same purpose. You also seem to gloss over why the right has these delegates. They exist for the very reason you chastise the left for having them. The RNC has never denied their purpose.
