ABC News Interview Goes All Wrong… Dem Delegate Goes Rogue on Live TV

In a massive embarrassment to Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton, a delegate to the Democrat National Convention announced on the air that he would not be voting for Hillary come the fall because of her dishonesty.

Speaking with ABC reporter Jonathan Karl in Philadelphia, where the convention was being held, he dropped the bombshell: “As far as president, I will not be voting for Hillary Clinton.”

As you can imagine, Karl was shocked.

“You are a delegate to the Democratic National Convention and you are not going to be voting for Hillary Clinton. Why?” he asked.

And as one might expect, the delegate mentioned her gross mishandling of her private email server scandal as evidence of her dishonesty and impetus for voting against her.

“Well, it’s really just as simple as I feel as if she hasn’t been honest with us, and the fact of the matter is, she said for over a year there (was) no classified information sent or received on her private email server, and the FBI said that’s not true,” he said.

“She wouldn’t even call it an investigation,” he added. “She called it a security review. If she’s not even going to be honest about the nature of that investigation, what else can we expect? I have no love for (GOP nominee Donald) Trump, but I also have no love for Hillary.”

It’s nice to see some delegates with a sound head still on their shoulders, even at the Democrat convention.

Should he be able to withstand the pressure to vote for Hillary Clinton, and if GOP nominee Donald Trump isn’t an option, he will almost certainly fall to one of the two significant party candidates — Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein.

Or, he might just stay home. We’re OK with any of those options.

Unbound Republican Delegate: Voters Don’t Decide Candidate, Establishment Does

Unbound Republican Delegate: Voters Don’t Decide Candidate, Establishment Does / Image Credits: Wikimedia Commons

On Monday Infowars reported on remarks made by Curly Haugland of the Republican National Committee. He said delegates may “vote according to their personal choice in all matters to come before the Republican National Convention, including the vote to nominate the Republican Candidate for President” and disregard voters.

On Wednesday Haugland expanded on his remarks.

He told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” voters are irrelevant when it comes to selecting a candidate for the presidential nomination. 

“The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nomination. That’s the conflict here,” the North Dakota Republican said.

Haugland also questioned why primaries are held.Picture1

Despite Donald Trump’s huge delegate lead in the race, CNBC questions if he will ultimately receive the 1,237 delegates required to claim the GOP nomination before the convention.

“This could lead to a brokered convention, in which unbound delegates, like Haugland, could play a significant swing role on the first ballot to choose a nominee,” writes Matthew J. Belvedere.

“It could introduce Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, or it could be the other candidates that have already been in the race and are now out of the race [such as] Mike Huckabee [or] Rick Santorum. All those people could eventually become candidates on the floor,” said Gary Emineth who is, like Haugland, an unbound delegate from North Dakota.

“The rules haven’t kept up,” Haugland added. “The rules are still designed to have a political party choose its nominee at a convention. That’s just the way it is. I can’t help it. Don’t hate me because I love the rules.”Picture2

Emineth warned party officials may pull ”some shenanigan” within the rules committee. “You have groups of people who are going to try to take over the rules committee,” he said. “[That] could totally change everything, and mess things up with the delegates. And people across the country will be very frustrated.”Tyranney Alert

He said that frustration may discourage Americans from voting Republican.you think

Trump: Riots if Establishment Rigs Nomination

Donald Trump predicted there will be large scale riots if the establishment prevents him from becoming the Republican nominee.

“I don’t think you can say we don’t get it automatically,” he said. “I think you’d have riots. I think you’d have riots. I’m representing … many, many millions of people, in many cases first-time voters … Many Democrats, many independents coming in. That’s what the big story is really.”

“The really big story is how many people are voting in these primaries. The numbers are astronomical,” Trump added.

“Now, if you disenfranchise those people, and you say, well, I’m sorry, you’re 100 votes short, even though the next one is 500 votes short, I think you would have problems like you’ve never seen before… I think bad things would happen, I really do. I believe that. I wouldn’t lead it, but I think bad things would happen.”Picture13
