azatoth Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I guess some lolberterian candidate might try to seize the opportunity for a third party bid, but doubtful it will change much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignatius Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Bush is going to be your next president, calling it now. the RNC is just going to throw ten pounds of shit in the air at the convention and see where it lands.

I thought Jeb already dropped out months ago tho if the convention is "contested" they can nominate whoever they want. How can it be contested now? Trump has no-one running against him. To my understanding the delegates can basically pick anyone if there's a contested convention. Doesn't have to be somebody who is or has been running before. So the party big boys might try to nominate someone completely outside the group of previous nominees. Although, this would likely tear the whole party to pieces. It's going to be interesting.

There won't be a contested convention because Trump will now hoover up virtually all the remaining delegates and will have more than enough to avoid one.

auxien Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Technically the delegates can vote outside of the wishes of their constituents, but if there's no one else running, I'm not sure what the rules are there. Can they just choose to vote for no one? Lol sent using magic space waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol sent using magic space waves you're thinking of superdelegates, but that's just for the dems (the GOP do actually have a few of them, but it's tiny in comparison). delegates are awarded differently in each state, but mostly it's the majority winner in each district gets a proportional number the state's delegates, I guess voters in the primaries might be able to enter a write in candidate (or they might not, don't know the rules, might count as a spoilt ballot), but even if that was possible enough people wouldn't do that to win anyone else any delegates. there will be no contested convention.

Yes, my mistake, thank you! I agree that a contested convention isn't in the cards, it just serves no purpose at this point. Unless something changes that, which what the hell even could at this point? The whole state of settling/apathy is reaching new lows.

Now that you mention it, the actual turnout for this election, the demographics and exit polls/etc., will be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
