He'll tell his people to look into it, just like they looked into Obama's birth certificate.

It will be known as the "Great Lazy Boy Riots" of 2016.

Maybe Herr Trump will call out the Palins. They like to fight.

The nominee must get half of the delegate votes, plus one, to have a majority and to win the nomination. That's 1237 votes. If no one reaches that threshold, then there will be another round of voting, and another round and another round, until someone reaches that threshold. But who's on the slate is open, not just to candidates that had delegates committed to them, but to whomever can convince the delegates to vote for him or her, and who can persuade enough delegates to reach that 1237 threshold.

I'm willing to bet, if this were to actually happen, Trump would keep all his delegates in the 2nd vote, and he would score a huge number of additional delegates who will support him as the fair winner. They will support the will of the people instead of the will of the party bosses.

A contested election is no guarantee that Trump still won't prevail.

Kinda like Paul told the truth (and predicted Donny's popularity) in his second letter to Timothy: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,

No, they aren't.

They are private organizations.

At this point, there are no guarantees.

So if Trump gets elected, he turns back into a pro-choice, socially liberal, tax increasing, single payer lover, assault weapon banning Democrat?

That'd depend on the wind's direction.
