      1. Leaving aside whether they'd work (they won't), a convention coup or bribing Trump to drop out are both morally wrong.

      2. Trump is terrible but he's won GOP nomination fair & square. A coup or bribe would destroy settled democratic norms.

          3. Given Trump is supported by plurality of GOP primary voters, there's only two proper endings: drops out in humiliation or loses in Nov.

          This is not even close to true. The purpose of the delegate system is to act as a bulwark against demagogues.

          But modern GOP has demonstrated no hesitation in destroying settled democratic norms via voter disenfranchisement & gerrymandering

          Agreed. Plus he actually needs to have his a$$ handed to him in an electoral landslide so sane folks can make a point. Love wins

          "Trump"s taking power was one of the primary worries of Hamilton/Madison/Jay as elucidated in the Federalist papers.

          then why have delegates? looks like Ryan is signaling use of conscience clause

          if he really did shoot someone in public, wouldn't they be able to nominate someone else? basically shooting election chances

          We are very specifically a Constitutional Republic, not a direct democracy. To thwart bouts of populism that would endanger us.

          @lilithsaintcrow The whole point of democracy, they choose a horrible candidate, lose, and choose better next time.
