If the GOP upsets the will of the people they dig thier own grave . That being said I think he gets to 50%

"I believe my vote should count"

I agree, i thiunk the top 2 should have a national runoff where voters get to choose. If you come in first with 49% of the vote, that means more people voted gainst you than for you, so I don't think you deserve anything based on that.

"Funny you calling Trump a " con artist "

You kep saying that. Maybe I did, but I thought someone elkse came up with that.

"you are ok with the GOP pulling a stunt like this"

Those are th erules of the GOP, and Trump deciuded (this time anyway) that he was a Republican and wanted to run as such. They didn't implement these rules specifically top stop him, those rules were there long before he announced he was running. But I agree, it seems un-democratic fo delegates (who aren't elected) to overrule the wishes of the people. But if the majority of the voters want someone other than Trump, and we get someone other than Trump, that's not the same as if Bernie won the most pledged delegates and the superdelegates steal it from him. That's my opinion, and you could make a strong argument that I am wrong. It's a tough issue.

"That being said I think he gets to 50%"

Part of me hopes that you are right, so that people at least feel good about the integrity of the process.

You made a compelling point, you sure did.

Gee, when you put it that way...

I kee asking when was the last time a liberal speaker was forced off the stage by a conservative riot, and the closest answer I got was what happened at Kent State, as if throwing rocks at National Guardsman, is the same thing as Ann Coulter stepping up to a podium, where she has been invited, to read off a piece of paper. All that liberal tolerance.

Correct. We especially don't riot just because someone is saying something we don't agree with. But if people feel like their nominee was stolen out from underneath them? Let's say that if we pass that test, we will REALLY have something to hold over their heads.

I am confident (though not certain) we won't act like liberals (i.e., feral animals) if Trump isn't the nominee.

Careful what you wish for ,there are a lot of independent's that are going to be upset also .
It will just be another product of the Obama legacy that history will be so kind to .

As of now, I can say that my side doesn't resort to feral anarchy when we don't get our way. Your side cannot make that claim. But I am curoius to see how that would play out. If they riot, I will never be able to throw that in your face again.
