If 60% of the Republicans think that Mr. Trump should get the nomination with simply a plurality (the way almost all other elections in the US are run), does that mean that the "movers and shakers" of the GOP have lost control of the nomination process and are going to be faced with the options of either accepting Mr. Trump as their official candidate (and coming second in the Presidential Race) or rejecting Mr. Trump as their official candidate and having Mr. Trump beat their official candidate thereby relegating the GOP to third place in the traditionally two party Presidential Race?

Well, if he wins 6 in 10 of delegates he'll have a majority, won't he? If not, then there'll be a fight on the floor and he may win that. Or lose it. Either way, no one knows for sure what will happen. This election is unlike all others. Whatever the experts have gleaned from previous elections won't do them a damn bit of good in predicting any outcomes this time. We are in uncharted waters this year...

I am a Trump guy, but choosing the candidate is not done by the people. It just isn't. I never has been. Technically choosing the President isn't by the people either. I think it would be a mistake to nominate someone else, over someone who is so embraced by the voters. It would be a huge mistake.
No matter what, the party will not be the same. This election will forever change it. Hopefully the establishment and the elected POLITICIANs will realize that the voters are the boss, not them.

CSM David Heidke - Sergeant Major; As I see it, the real problem is that the rules that the RNC set up have allowed Mr. Trump to "hijack" the party. If he were running on a "Third Party" ticket, he would already have been assured of the nomination (for that "Third Party") and the Republicans would have a chance to run a Republican candidate against him with a reasonable assurance that the Republican candidate would beat Mr. Trump (even if the Republican candidate didn't win the Electoral College [and the vote split would likely be enough to throw the Presidential Election into the House of Representatives]).

CSM David Heidke
COL Ted Mc - How did he hijack the party? He took the pledge that the party asked him to, said he wouldn't run as a third party if he lost the nomination, basically did what they wanted? Now the establishment is threatening to run someone against him as a third party candidate to ensure that he won't win. This is only because they would rather split the spoils of the rape and pillage of the American people with the democrat party than allow the people to flourish.
The middle class is being bled dry, the rich own the parties, and the parties own the poor.
This needs to stop... NOW.

CSM David Heidke - Sergeant Major; Mr. Trump 'hijacked the party' by being allowed to run as a "Republican". If Mr. Trump had had to start his own political party and try to get elected as the President of the United States on a 'third party' ticket, then he would also have had to try to get enough Senators and Representatives elected on that 'third party' ticket to give him effective control of the House and the Senate in order for him to have any credibility in his presidential campaign.
That simply wasn't within the realm of probability.
