15. I read that in the republican party

it is up to the states, what happens to the delegates that a drop-out won.

[sofa king]

20. Don't forget the GOP has at least 2 chances to change the rules...

... Before the convention.

Also don't forget that the chairman of the RNC is Speaker Paul Ryan.

Also don't forget that if the rules are changed and the nomination is stolen from Donald Trump, he's sure to run as a third party candidate.

Also don't forget that if Trump can win a few states as an independent, like say PA, NY, and NJ, it's possible that no candidate will win a majority of electoral votes and the House of Representatives will choose the next President.

Also don't forget that to avoid being voted out for stealing the election, Congress may well choose not to appoint anyone.

In which case Speaker of the House Paul Ryan inherits the job, assuming he is reelected as Speaker in January.

So, what happens to those delegates depends a whole lot on how badly former Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan wants to be President....

Jesus Christ, sometimes my imagination frightens me.

26. You are certainly scaring me...

[Turbineguy]

30. Thanks!

I was thinking of moving to a Banana Republic, but now I won't have to!

[lastlib]

35. (Chairman of the RNC is Reince Priebus...)

(...kinda rhymes with "Rancid Penis", which is a more accurate name for him.......)

[sofa king]

36. Oops! Sorry!

I misunderstood something somewhere and stupidly passed it on. Penis Rebus chooses the chairman of the Rules committee from among the delegates. My apologies.

[valerief]

2. Now he's off to his dominatrix for a good beating and berating!

[Kelvin Mace]

3. Called it!

Earlier this afternoon.

[FailureToCommunicate]

7. Nice.

[Hissyspit]

10. Saw it on Twitter.

[hay rick]

12. LOL

Ain't life unkind? He rose to the top of Florida's corrupt garbage heap. That's his ceiling.

[lastlib]

19. Still, I'm gonna miss him........

[Danmel]

31. Lol

[Liberal_in_LA]

37. Lol

[retrowire]

6. shit.

I don't want any republicans... but I'm willing to accept anyone other than Cruz and Trump.

This just narrows it down to better chances for the Orange Hitler and the Christian Caliphate.

[liberal N proud]

8. Then there were three bozos in the car

[Hissyspit]

14. They're all awful. Trump is a clinical Narcissistic Sociopath.

Uses violence via surrogates (he has a history of it).

Cruz is a religious nutball.

Katich is Koch-sucker.

[FailureToCommunicate]

9. Oh dear. He was just staring to sound reasonable...compared to the other clowns. Well sorta

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. Actually, he was pretty bad.

Various news reports of his being a political dilettante, all show, no work, uses people to get what he wants and then drops them, and has done that enough in Fla. and the Senate that politicos have turned their backs on him.
Also has mis-used campaign and Party funds repeatedly.

[Cavallo]

13. Now he's gone. Whos the next least evil of their evil batch...

Kasich - the hedge fund trader from Lehmann Brothers before they were broken up for corruption over the mortgage scandal. He's not the wall street corruption candidate... oh wait!

[47of74]

16. Once again, FLUSH!

[keithbvadu2]

21. Other than his interest in Trump, he won't go down.

He's a floater.

[Jenny_92808]

27. Thank you for the laugh

[Thor_MN]

17. Goodbye, Rubio Tuesday.

22. candidates suspend campaign but do not quit

candidates suspend campaign but do not quit

http://politicaldictionary.com/words/suspended-campaign/

"Candidates who suspend their campaigns usually get to keep any delegates they’ve won and
can continue to raise money beyond what’s needed to retire their campaign debts. In
contrast, candidates who actually drop out of a race, usually have to forfeit certain
delegates and are limited in how they can raise future funds."

"and can continue to raise money"
"and can continue to raise money"
"and can continue to raise money"
"and can continue to raise money"
"and can continue to raise money"
*************** How's that go again?

>>>>>>> (more at the article)

If they have delegates, they can negotiate, barter, gain favors (donations?) or even jobs
for the use of those delegates.

[The Second Stone]

23. And he was just gaining traction today!

Off to quitsville! Gov. Palin is waiting.

[TexasBushwhacker]

24. Well, Carson did he got an offer from Trump

I wonder if Rubio did too. I could see Trump choosing Rubio as VP because he's young and easy to push around. Not so with nutbag Cruz.

[PoliticAverse]

25. Story from thehill.com...

[NCjack]

28. Fake Rubio quote: "Let’ dispel once and for all with

the fiction that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he is doing, he knows exactly what he is doing. He just engineered me out of the race to the White House."

[Sunlei]

29. The bagger-quitter suspends, so he can make deals with the bigger Republicans

wonder if Trump will make Rubio & Christie *sadface* losers both stand next to him soon

[keithbvadu2]

33. Get back in your doggie cage, Christie. That's a good boy.

That guy at the podium looks a lot like the guy on SNL.

What a coincidence, eh?

[Sunlei]

34. Can't wait until next 'Saturday Night Live' does Rubio the newest Republican quitter

Wonder what Trump had on the Jeb Bush/Christie/Carson/Rubio- Republican quitters? He even made Jeb Bush cry.

[Vinca]

32. At least there was one positive result last night.
