The Plot Thickens...GOP Nomination Process
We heard a lot of opining about how roughly a 3rd of the GOP party members will opt out of the election if Trump is the nominee. So the wisdom would state that blocking Trump from becoming the nominee is the right play by the leadership. Not so fast...

Quote:A third of Republican voters who support Donald Trump could turn their backs on their party in November's presidential election if he is denied the nomination in a contested convention, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The results are bad news for Trump's rivals as well as party elites opposed to the real estate billionaire, suggesting that an alternative Republican nominee for the Nov. 8 presidential race would have a tougher road against the Democrats.
"If it’s a close election, this is devastating news" for the Republicans, said Donald Green, an expert on election turnout at Columbia University.
I know that if the GOP leadership ignores the votes in the primaries, then I will NOT vote for any GOP nominee at all. I'll vote Libertarian.
