GOP Rules Official: Even If Donald Trump Gets to 1,237 Delegates, ‘It Means NOTHING’

by Brian Hayes | Top Right News

If supporters of Donald J. Trump were angry after the GOP handed every one of Colorado’s delegates to Ted Cruz — without a vote by the people — they are going to be furious after what a top GOP official just said.

Republican convention rules member Curly Haugland told CNBC that even if Donald Trump wins 1,237 delegates that does not mean he will be the Republican nominee.

Unbelievably, Curly said: “It doesn’t matter….The votes during the primary process are only estimates.”

Curly Haugland, a longstanding RNC official and an unbound delegate from North Dakota who will be on the convention rules committee in July, told CNBC that attaining 1,237 during the primaries does not secure the nomination.

“Even if Trump reaches the magic number of 1,237 the media and RNC are touting, that does not mean Trump is automatically the nominee,” Haugland said. “The votes earned during the primary process are only estimates and are not legal convention votes. The only official votes to nominate a candidate are those that are cast from the convention floor.”

So the dirty tricks continue, and the fix appears to be in. If the GOP goes ahead with its plan to remove Trump — the voters be damned — it will surely be committing suicide as a national party.
