But I assume that the GOP rules clearly lay out that if a candidate fails to gain the delegates needed, then there is a convention process already spelled out to decide who wins.<br /><br />It sounds like Trump is complaining that if the primary ends without a winner, then the GOP should skip their run-off, and he should be declared the winner.<br /><br />Of course, he may reasonably fear that the run-off will be fixed. But that's not how this reads. It reads that he wants to skip it.<br /><br />... do away with all this democratic process and stoopid rules and make me king already.<br /><br />[Sorry Donnie, that's the SCOTUS's job]McMikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-57500561062160187542016-03-17T07:59:30.233-05:002016-03-17T07:59:30.233-05:00Re Mother Theresa.

Organizations tend to suffer after their founders leave, or have stayed on too long. People and the media love to tear down icons. People who rise to those levels are usually complicated, driven, and can act as or be perceived as major jerks. Are we judging the operations out of their context of time/place/constraints - ie on net, were their operations better than the not (did they improve lives overall) compared to the alternative? It's complicated when arguing whether to engage or to shun controversial and/or sociopathic people of power. Large inflows of money tend to attract graft, waste, and questions. And... are we being unduly influenced by Christopher Hitchens?McMikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-54196281654472192782016-03-17T07:58:12.666-05:002016-03-17T07:58:12.666-05:00"Do they really, really think that Donald Tru..."Do they really, really think that Donald Trump's choices will make them happy?
