Seriously - Are we delegates at a convention, or third graders?

Unity: Pro-Cruz delegates reportedly threatening mass walk-out before Trump’s speech Thursday
From their end, the Cruz forces have the power to somewhat disrupt the convention over the first two days – albeit with little power to affect the ultimate outcome of Trump receiving the nomination. One threat the Cruz forces are said to be holding over the heads of the RNC and the Trump campaign is the specter of a large group of delegates – in the hundreds – simply leaving town after Cruz speaks on Wednesday night, exposing the nominee to the prospect of televised images of empty seats in the Quicken Loans Arena. It’s an open question whether there are enough alternate delegates who can be rallied to fill such a number of seats…
Look folks. Your guy lost. Fair and square. The winner isn't someone you wanted, and he isn't someone I wanted either. But holding your breath until you turn blue only because you didn't get what you wanted, reflects on "you".  It doesn't do anything to reflect on Trump.

And Glenn Beck. I hate to tell you this, but if Ted Cruz is the last guy in Washington you can trust, then it's become "you" who has become out of touch. Ted Cruz may have been a better Presidential Candidate, but he's not exactly mainstream, well liked, and I don't believe he has much of a shot moving forward.

Bottom line: If Trump wins, then Cruz becomes irrelevant till 2024. If Trump loses, then the Party (and most of the voters) will do everything in their power to make sure a mainstream establishment candidate wins in 2020. Most GOP voters will not buy the idea that they need to try "another" outsider, under the guise that we picked the wrong one in 2016. The infinitely better counter argument will be that the outsiders got their chance and it didn't work.

Great start at unifying the GOP!!! Instead of luring your leader, your now defending a fraud who really didn't want to be there!!! It's hillary's fault of course!!!!

Poor Ch. He's trying to reason with people who do not cotton to reasoning.

I say, go ahead and tear up the convention. Trump's going to lose one way or another, and we could all benefit from an ascendant more RATIONAL GOP leadership who would manage to field some candidate who is not off the charts unqualified.
