2nd GOP delegate says primary votes don't matter...

[240 is Back]

GOP delegates at the convention, not primary voters or caucusgoers, choose the presidential nominee, another member of the Republican National Committee told CNBC, after a similar proclamation last week by an unbound delegate from North Dakota touched off a firestorm.

"People are under the misconception that it's the results of the caucus and the results of the primary that determines who becomes the nominee. In actuality, it's the delegates at the national convention that are supposed to pick the nominee," Diana Orrock, a delegate from Nevada and Donald Trump supporter, told "Squawk Box" on Monday.

Orrock's comments nearly mirror last Wednesday's remarks on the program from North Dakotan Curly Haugland, an RNC rules committee member. He went further, questioning whether primaries and caucuses should be held at all. He also talked about his proposed rule change to allow any candidate who earns at least one delegate to submit his or her name to be nominated at this summer's convention.

"Going into this convention they're going to try to do a lot of manipulation to try to keep Trump from becoming the nominee," Orrock said Monday. "A lot of political operatives in the Republican Party are trying to take Trump out at all costs."

And yet the Republican establishment wonders why their voters are ready for a revolution.  They'd vote for Mickey Mouse at this point if they thought he was outside of their unholy cabal.

These m0therfuckers better wise up because if they pull any shit the whole thing is gonna come down right on their stupid heads.  The internet has allowed regular people more access to see the inner workings of political corruption and they are fed up.  It's time for the elites to go screw.  Let the will of the people have it's day.

It's so obvious, the machinations are right out in the open and the party elites really couldn't care less...that or they are so detached from what is going on that they are willfully walking the plank and they just can't see it. The very fact that Mitt Fucking Romney got up on national tv and lectured voters on Donald Trump shows you just how out of touch they are.

Sad thing is if they got behind Cruz and pushed Kasich out Cruz would most likely roll or at least prevent Trump from going to the convention with 1237. But they don't want Cruz either, they would actually rather have Hillary than Cruz.

This whole thing is insane.
