Opinions/Editorials Title: Krauthammer: GOP split 'guaranteed' if Trump loses nomination Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer predicted that the Republican Party would most certainly collapse if Donald Trump is denied a presidential nomination at the convention in July. In his latest column for the Washington Post, Krauthammer said if Trump does not lock up the nomination before the convention — he has the most delegates but needs a majority — it is possible the party will coalesce around an alternative and the billionaire's supporters will walk away, leaving the party in shambles. "And if Trump loses out, a split is guaranteed," wrote Krauthammer. "In Trump's mind, he is a winner. Always. If he loses, it can only be because he was cheated. He constantly contends that he's being treated unfairly. He is certain to declare any convention process that leaves him without the nomination irredeemably unfair. No need to go third party. A simple walkout with perhaps a thousand followers behind will doom the party in November." Trump has insisted that if he has the most delegates, even if it's less than half of those needed to win the nomination, he should be granted the nomination. But party rules allow delegates at a brokered convention to re- vote to elect a candidate who they believe to be most likely to beat the Democratic nominee in a general election.

#3. To: A K A Stone (#0) He is surely right on this one. No, he isn't. The nominee is the guy who gets 1,237 votes at the convention. Period. It has always been that way. A plurality is not enough, even if Donald cries foul.
#4. To: A K A Stone (#0) To quote Krauthammer more fully:
#5. To: A K A Stone (#0) He is surely right on this one. Probably. Btw, Kasich has started running attack ads in NY -- on Cruz. The establishment is angling for a way to nominate Paul Ryan.

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur #7. To: A K A Stone (#2) Electronic voting is too vulnerable. It is easier to do, and it is easier to rig the vote. Go back to paper ballots. Yes, it is more trouble, and takes more time, but is more fool proof!

To: A K A Stone (#0) Of course he is right. I'm not voting for any Republican at all unless Trump is at the top of the ticket. I'm voting for Trump, and I'm willing to give the Republican shitstains a vote so that Trump will have a Republican Congress instead of a Democrat one. But if the Republicans steal the nomination from Trump, I'm walking away and hoping their ship sinks. I am hardly alone in this.
