Brokered Convention

[fedup100]

dont you need to win 5 states to be able to participate in the convention?

uh read the post, the answer is NO!

Doesn't Dr. Paul need to WIN 5 states to be on the ballot at the convention for the nomination?

NO THIS IS NOT TRUE for people were just confused on how it actually works.

We only need the majority of delegates from 5 states to be put on the ballot NOT THE POPULAR VOTE OF 5 STATES and i assure you we have picked up the majority of uncommitted delegates for Dr. Paul in more than 5 states.

Ron Paul will be able to give a speech to all the delagates at the convention. The media won't be able to mess with that. So we would hope that when the delegates hear the message they get hooked like we did.

Why do you keep spamming this?

I keep posting this to every downer troll post and to all the links of the lost and wandering who are jumping ship and keep asking the same question over and over.....how can he win now?

The real spam on this forum is the millions of posts that start with.........."Well it's over", "Should we stop giving to the campaign", "Sorry to say, but I say now we go Huck or whatever", "So why is being a delegate important", "How can he win now, he didn't take one state".......ad nauseum. Why is there nothing from the campaign? Well read my post over and over until you get it. You have heard from the campaign, this is their game plan and it is working.

We need all supporters to read it and understand it and apply it. We need people to get excited because they are winning and do not know it.

We need to get back on the ship and give him the money he needs to go all the way to the convention!!

That post is a load of crap

Analysis and recommendations have to be very state-specific. Taking info for one state and urging it in other states with different rules is counter-productive--which is exactly what you're doing here.

On top of that, there is just so much totally bad information here.

First stop looking at who wins each states popular vote for most of these states the vote by the people is really nothing but a straw poll and have no real bearing on who will become the nominee. The only way this matters is if 1 person receives 1192 delegates that are bound by state rules to be commited to that candidate. NOW there is no possible way that anyone in the race can achieve this goal now because of the major split in state wins by the candidates.

This is a load of crap on so many levels: votes do have bearing on choosing delegates that choose the nominee; one can get 1192 votes from unbound and bound delegates; there are enough votes outstanding for McCain to win outright.

Now i assure you that even though we didn’t win the popular vote in many states WE DID PICK UP THE MAJORITY OF DELEGATES THAN ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN MOST EVERY STATE EXCEPT A FEW. So yes they won the straw poll and we won what counts which is delegates.

Do any of you remember seeing posts by myself and many others that said BECOME A DELEGATE? There is still time in most states to become a delegate for the convention and we are picking up more of them every day.

Thanks Bradley for clearing that up for me and 35k other ex supporters, I will now vote for someone else and I am sure the majority of the Paul supporters will do the same, thanks again.

 

[jacmicwag]

Well, the rules are quite different from state to state - that I know for sure. Let's just get as many elected delegates as we can and go from there.

[Redacted by Moderator] If you want Dr. Paul to win, learn the rules in your state, play the game and keep working.

Hence my spam comment.

 

[fedup100]

How dare you talk to me in that manner. Answer the above post with the facts then and the truth you seem to holding only unto yourself. You are the one that needs to grow up, you just shot your best shot at Ron Paul's campaign to tank it for good. Your the big expert are so it seems, so break it down big expert with truth and facts as to how that post was a load of crap.

Can you be helpful with your vast knowledge. Can you try to use common sense when you make a post like, how might this affect someone that reads this. Or, can you tell me how your response the my post was beneficial to the campaign?

I couldn't disagree with you more. This is a great post! Thank you OP for the wonderful and informative post!

 

[JulioForPaul]

Why does Bradley in DC shit on any thread that is telling us the truth. The "spam" thread is not "full of crap". It is mostly true. Sure, there are different rules for each state, but most of the delegates will be unbound in a brokered convention. That is the point of his posts. Delegates do matter and Ron Paul is doing very well in this regard.

If you (Bradley in DC) have any facts as to why Ron Paul supporters should give up, PLEASE SHARE. You are adding nothing constructive whatsoever.

WOW, I knew Dr. Paul had a plan, but I never even guessed it would be THIS genius!! Of course he is just biding his time until the convention gets closer. WHy else would he be sitting on all those donations when the other campaigns are going broke scrambling after their so-called primary "victories"? And look who's dropping out and who's still standing!!

WE WILL PREVAIL-- ON TO THE BROKERED CONVENTION!!

 

[JulioForPaul]

And why are all the "brokered convention" threads being moved to a part of the board where no one sees it. As of today this is probably the most important subject for the grassroots of Ron Paul supporters. This is the whole point of the Ron Paul campaign.

Please stop spamming the forums with this post? It is really getting old...

@Mods:

Can you please do something about all the spam? This is ridiculous already.

Information on the brokered convention has been moved for several days now. This is not new. The best route to take, for now, is to start topics on that subject in the National Convention subforum.

Third party threads should be started in the Alternatives to Official Campaign subforum in Central.

Hope that helps.

Yes, every Ron Paul supporter should have been clearly and repeatedly told that this is the strategy of the campaign. They should have explained how this will work long ago. But then of course the neo-cons would have been prepared for us showing up to the caucuses and nominated their own delegates.

Personally, I think the brokered convention plan is a bad one if that is truly the intention. A brokered nominee is weak, not a great amount of support from the party members. I am hoping that Ron switches parties and runs as a Libertarian, so that it will be guaranteed that he is on the ballot in November, and have his supporters focus on getting the word out to the American people rather than being involved in backroom party political struggles with Republicans.

The Libertarian Party should be on the ballot in all 50 states. Every congressional district will have a LP candidate running with Ron's name recognition. A third of the states will have Senate LP candidates repeating the same thing Ron is saying. Plus hundreds of state legislature candidates for the LP, and governors, etc.

 

[andrewk78]

Yeah just pack it up and move on. WTF

Regardless of what happens I follow Dr. Paul to whatever end. This is about so much more then him. Can you ever go back to the way things were again? Can you be happy siting back and know there is a better way? Go vote for someone else stfu and get the hell out. I am so damn tired of all these people.

We live in a country that is nothing more then a former shadow of itself. I vote for Dr. Paul if for no other reason then to make a point. The good doctor if nothing else is getting enough votes that the powers that be are going to have to notice. Things from here on out will NEVER be the same. I will never be the same. I will never again be able to sit back and watch this once wonderful country destroy itself.

We need to give each other hope and continue to move this platform forward. If all you plan to do is vote for Dr. Paul and if he doesn't win you are done, then it's been nice knowing ya thanks for the vote see ya later. As much as we would like to change the country over night it probably wont happen. We need to be in this for the long haul and not fading away because of a few minor setbacks.

Are you in this to win? Or are you in this as long as things go good?

Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill.

Here is another explanation: http://ron-paul-campaign.blogspot.com/2008/02/brokered-convention-gop-nomination-five.html

It is not "another" explanation--it is the same load of crap that have I have been debunking here and elsewhere.
