BOMBSHELL: Member Of GOP Rules Committee Stuns Conservatives…Opens Door To A Trump Win
"...chaos."

By: Joe Saunders

The magic convention number might be changing — but then again it might not — after a brief episode that’s yet another example of how this p**********l campaign season is anything but conventional.

For months, 1,237 has been the holy grail of the GOP, reflecting the majority of the party’s convention delegates that a candidate would need to secure to be confirmed the party’s nominee. However, a member of the Republican National Committee — with a place on the GOP’s rules committee no less — appeared to say that number could be lowered considerably — and caused no small amount of confusion in the process.

In an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program, Randy Evans, a member of the rules committee from Georgia, declared that Trump “will” be the nominee if he heads into the July convention in Cleveland with only 1,100 v**es.

“If Donald Trump exceeds 1,100 v**es, he will become the nominee even though he may not have 1,237,” Evans said, in an interview that shocked close observers of the race.

“If he gets less than 1,000 delegates, then I think we’re looking at a contested convention that could go on for many, many days,” Evans told the rather surprised show hosts and fellow guests.

“And then in the middle, there’s that grey area between 1,000 and 1,100, and that’s where the unbound delegates or the delegates that have been released by other candidates come into play to see if there are enough of those to get either Cruz or Trump over the finish line.”

The comments immediately created a buzz in the political world, leading many to think that the rules committee might have discovered a new flexibility in the number of delegates a candidate will need, but Evans later “clarified” his remarks, according to Politico.

telling a reporter that he wasn’t suggesting Trump would win the nomination outright with less than 1,237 delegates, but if he’s close enough the real estate mogul could gain enough unbound delegates to win.

Well, with all due respect to Mr. Evans, it sounded to everyone else exactly like he was suggesting that 1,100 v**es would be enough to win the nomination. And — trial balloon or no with regard to a possible rules change of monumental impact — it set off a firestorm on social media.

But not everyone was so cynical.

Trust obviously is a pretty rare commodity these days.

On “Morning Joe,” Robert Costa of the Washington Post summed it up.

“The reason why a lot of these party members don’t want to have the 1,237 threshold, they don’t want r**ts in Cleveland, they don’t want chaos,” he said. “If Trump get close enough, they want to prevent some kind of revolt.”

Fellow panelist Mike Allen of Politico summed it up even better.

“There’s still going to be chaos,” he said.

First, a sentence doesn't begin with and. Second, "it will just means" makes no since at all. Third, "we will get Hillary" no one knows that, it is just speculation from polls taken way to soon. Just want to suggest you proof read it makes your post understandable.

Something like:

It will mean the Democrats will win resulting in Hillary winning the general if this happens.

Then we will know what you are saying instead of deciphering your code.

I am just making suggestions no pun intended. One thing, I disagree I think Trump or Cruz either one can defeat Hillary in the general.

Well put... Thank You.

Agreed.

And, Trump will NOT beat Hillary...not with his unfavorability ratings, and all the defections from the Republican Party that will occur if he is the nominee. And, many of us in the Republican Party will not v**e for a liberal.
