So some Republican delegates are apparently staging a coup for the nominee to be Paul Ryan and the Ted Cruz cheating scandal continues to gain traction in the tabloids.

This convention's going to be be some next level **** I swear. This election continues to surprise me and I thought nothing would surprise me anymore.

I'm sorry, and secretly hopes it happens, but the GOP would be in a bad situation if Donald doesn't get the nomination when he honestly does deserve it. i think he'll have the most delegates and popular vote and should be given the nomination. If they somehow get Cruz/Kasich (2nd and 3rd), then fine. But if they pull something and none of the remaining candidates running remaining gets it, then that's corruption at its finest.

So... it's the voters' fault?

No, it's the state's fault. there should have been more polling locations open. That being said, there are other mediums for voting. The republicans control AZ. We need a candidate the supports + raises money for the DNC.

That is correct! That's why we need a candidate that raises money for down ticket dems!

Guns crossing state borders is a real issue. A lot of guns in Chicago aren't purchased in Illinois, but in Indiana (a much more conservative state) and Wisconsin.

Politics has nothing to do with somebody "deserving" it. If he doesn't win the necessary delegates to gain the nomination then there will be a contested convention and the delegates may simply choose another candidate to be the nominee which is well within their rights according to the RNC.

It's a rob if he has won majority of the states, the delegates, and popular vote. He should get the nomination, and it'll be wrong if he doesn't get it by missing a few dozen/hundred delegates because of Rubio, Bush, etc. delegates flocking to Kasich or Cruz.

It's a totally different situation if he and Cruz were tied or very close and Trump was far away from the nomination.

Watching Don Lemon and they were talking about a potential brokered convention. They showed a clip of Ted Cruz brushing off possibilities of the establishment inserting their pick to save the party at the convention and saying there would be a revolt if it happened. That's along the lines of Trump's "riot" remarks. Then David Gergen (Senior Political Analyst) said that he thinks Cruz and Trump will have enough delegates between them within the rules of RNC, it'll have to be Ted or Donald, not another option. So that means that Kasich needs to win to prevent that from happening. This party is pure entertainment right now. I can't wait for their convention. It'll be LIT.

You said majority, but you mean plurality.

I'm so excited for it

What's all this talk I hear about Loretta Lynch potentially indicting Hillary because she's completely fair, ethical, etc.? Can anyone more in-the-know discuss the possibilities of this? My gut is that she would (be pressured to) purposely keep things dragged out until after the nomination, but that's not really a good move either since we wouldn't want a president being indicted

[King Maxx]

Contests won:

Trump (21)
Cruz (9)
Rubio (3)
Kasich (1)

Trump will be the nominee. Like you can't convince me otherwise. America has spoken. I mean he'll win most of the remaining states unless his campaign really crumbles.

Debates usually don't make too much of a difference. But I'm ready for the world to hear Hillary on a bigger scale again. She does quite well in debates imo.

At this point, if Bernie keeps going on about those Goldman Sachs speeches and "WALL STREET. I voted AGAINST Iraq War" then that's a problem especially since they are in NY and after these recent terrorist attacks. Foreign policy will be a big topic and it's make it or break it for Bernie. This debate might be a bad idea for him honestly.

mte. As he was pushing for this debate, I was wondering what good it would do him. Not only does Hillary tend to win debates because she's the better speaker, but his tired tropes especially won't work well in NY. He must have something major planned. I think after all this back-and-forth, people will actually want to tune in. I'll be perched!

Man, if they had really held that debate tonight, it would've been the LOWEST rated debate of the season. Villanova vs. UNC was ICONIC, one of the greatest games ever.
