Then let the delegates and the state party know that you will take it out on every Republican or Democrat (depending on your party) running, at the ballot box, including your town candidates. Post it in every comments section of every online forum or online news source.

Pretty much a idle threat considering that most voters can identify such obscure elected officials like a county's district committee person or county party chairperson, the folks who make up most of a convention's delegation. And just like the general pissedoffness about Congress, most folks think that their Congress person is the greatest.

But good luck with carrying out your threat.

All for not. Trump will get the delegates. He will be close by the end of the month.

I already let mine know that if they have a way of stopping Trump and they don't, I will take it out at the ballot box. I have made clear that I, one of their party faithful, expect them to protect the party from the Trojan horse in our midst.

The whole primary and delegate selection process is stupid and crazy.
People are not poker chips yet if Trump (or other) wins a state then we tell delegates that they MUST vote for Trump. If it's a proportional state then we tell some delegates that they MUST vote for Trump and others that they MUST vote for Cruz.
If you don't want "shenanigans" then call them points or poker chips that the candidate controls - don't call them delegates and assign them to idividuals.

They don't care about you one bit.

I agree. They won't care about the people squawking about "stealing the nomination" from Trump, either.

They will care when Trump runs an Independent and ruins any chance of a GOP candidate becoming president.

Actually Trump would win an independent run, if he can get on the ballots on time. Trump will turn his unfavorables around. Hillary cant.

I like the idea. People should start holding their party officials more responsible for listening to the members.
