Brokered GOP Convention

Post by 93henfan »

The possibility would be highly entertaining. Hillary laughs all the back to PA Ave. Whomever said here months ago that Trump was a Clinton plant is looking prophetic:
several longtime Republican power brokers argued that if the controversial billionaire storms through the primaries, the party’s establishment must lay the groundwork for a floor fight in which the GOP’s mainstream wing could coalesce around an alternative, the people said

If this really happened I think it would be not only the deathknell of the GOP but would lead to the creation of more than two parties.

2016 is shaping up to be the most entertaining election cycle in the last 160+ years.

This.

This election could very well be the end of the Conks or the Donks, depending on which way things go.
It should be interesting to watch unfold, unfortunately it might also mean the end of our country as we know it.

True. But we've never really behaved nicely in politics, except maybe for the brief period after WW2 when We Waz Kings. I mean Aaron Burr (Vice President) killed Alexander Hamilton (Founding lots of stuff) in a duel early on. Andrew Jackson's supporters trashed the White House when he was inaugurated. Etc.
