Brokered convention

[Dugout DickStone]

I bet they don't allow guns, proving how hypocritical they can be.

I hope they don't.

With as violent and radical as the left has become, particularly the occutard Berners, I'm not sure letting guns into anew arena filled with Republicans is a good idea. Of course, I don't revel in the thought of people being shot to death like the violent radical leftists do either.

If the leftists want, they will get the guns in there one way or another.  Might as well let the people defend themselves

I am sure the delegates can handle themselves should some bernsters try and start trouble.  unless they are unarmed.

When it is a crime to bring a gun into the convention, only criminals will bring a gun into the convention

Yes. Also, Cleveland is a very dangerous city. We can't ask people to walk unarmed from their car to the convention in that hell hole.

That's a great point. I'm sure the library convention will be 100% powered by sun beams, staffed by the requisite representative blend of minorities, women and LGBT, and have all the corporate money burned center stage. Because that's such a clever hilarious joke.

The joke is that these people want guns everywhere except where they are meeting.  But you're right, it's probably to protect them from the gun toting crazies from the party that supports regulation.

I assume there will be a lot of cold dead hands pried open if the guns aren't allowed.

My joke equally as clever. Let'stand petition the DNC to run a carbon negative convention without money from the wealthy and staffed entirely based upon demographic, gender identity and serial orientation. It's totally hypocritical for them to have it any other way.

Good grief, if you don't want to be called libtard stop acting like one.

Have the dems come out saying they want to limit anyone's constitutional rights during their convention?

You guys aren't handling the analogy very well.

Let's talk about Democrats in office who use tax "loop holes" to avoid paying their "fair share". Should hillary even be allowed to run, has she acknowledged her white privilege? Has every Democrat redistributed their own wealth, do they pay all women the exact same salary as men. Why aren't the party reps 13% black, 22% Hispanic, 62% female, 1% Trans, 2% gay. Bunch of rough ridin' hypocrites, that's why. Cancel the damn convention. It's the right (left) thing to do.

The dem's aren't prohibiting any of this.

What will be the trigger where they all simultaneously shoot each other?  Also, will it be accidental?  Like the occasional story where the old guy shoots his wife as he is sitting down at a restaurant and his gun falls out and goes off when it hits the floor?  I mean, it would certainly be more entertaining that way.

It will be civil until Trump gets the nomination taken from him.

So, thats when everyone's gun will accidentally fall out of their pants, go off, and shoot the person next to them, killing everyone in the arena?

It will be just like the worst thing Chunk ever did but with bullets instead of barf

At least not as it applies to them, ergo the punchline

They really need to allow guns.  they can't afford to look this ridiculous

it's hard for me to put myself inside the mind of a gop delegate, but i really can't imagine voting for any of trump, cruz or kasich if they fail to get to 1237.  they all would have had their chance and failed.  at that point, i'd be hellbent on someone new.

[sys]

btw, the article is mostly interesting in talking about how the delegates are mostly free to do whatever they want.  like all the talk about kasich giving his delegates to someone for a vp spot is fantasy (in kasich's case, it's not since those delegates are all basically from ohio and like all ohioans, will do whatever kasich wants them to do, but hypothetically, if he ever wins a non ohioan delegate he wouldn't be able to control that delegate).

Are the terms Brokered Convention and Contested Convention synonyms or distinct concepts?

[sys]

brokered is an antiquated term still in general use.  unless you're very particular, you can treat it as a synonym.
