The problem is that we no longer get to choose. If they promised him the presidency for betraying us, he will at the very least get the nomination unless we can figure out how to stop it.

Flashback. The Romney Team changed the 2012 convention rules to prevent a Ron Paul convention fight over elected delegates. People that supported Ron Paul elected themselves as delegates and were ready to be released from voting for Romney if the convention opened up to the second ballot. Romney changed the rules to prevent Rand from doing this in 2016, so the rules were set to be whoever won plurality in 5 states gets a name in nomination. sauce: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2014/04/07/dramatic-little-known-gop-rule-change-takes-choice-of-presidential-candidate-away-from-rank-and-file-republicans-and-hands-it-to-party-elite/?sh=465b91e16c7a

Who won at least 5 states in 2016? Trump 41, Cruz 11.

The establishment shot themselves in the foot, and they'll do it again if they dare to push Pence forward.
