http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/trumps-convention-strategy-the-fix-is-inWe will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal, Stone said Monday, on Freedomain Radio. If youre from Pennsylvania, well tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them. You have a right to discuss this, if you voted in the Pennsylvania primary, for example, and your votes are being disallowed, Stone said.
Stone apparently actually has a tattoo of Richard "Tricky Dicky" Nixon on his back.

The other way method of theft, Stone elaborated, is "the phenomena of the Trojan Horse delegates, where Trump has won a primary, lets take Texas for example or hes won a share of the votes in a primary. Trump got 40 percent of the vote in Texas; hes entitled to 40 percent of the delegates. Theres 100 delegates from Texas. Thats 40 delegates. And they are pledged by party rules to vote for Trump on the first ballot."
"But the actual people in those delegate seats will be anti-Trump party hacks who will vote against Trump on procedural matters such as the seating of delegates or the rules under which this convention will be conducted," Stone said, pointing to the example of Louisiana, where Cruz's allies in the local GOP muscled out pro-Trump delegates even though Trump won the popular vote.

But Good Lord it is going to be some interesting TV.
Where the hippies in Chicago in 68 had flowers and bell bottoms, these assholes may show up in Cleveland with assault rifles.

(20,176 posts)Hotels are private property. If you're not a guest, a guest of a guest, or a patron in some other form...you're trespassing, so if the hotel staff asks you to leave and you do not...you're going to get to see the inside of the Cleveland City Jail at The Justice Center.
Please, please Trump Asshole #2, have your supporters and delegates commit felony harassment and trespass for your asshole candidate. America and the private prisons industry needs the incarcerated labor.
