[Hoot Gibson]

And there in lies the duality of the real rub. First, you seem to think you can accurately predict the future, and I don't have an ounce of faith that you can. And secondly again, this all seems personal to you, but I know all I have is one vote and my opinion. Respectfully, the outtakes of which I would rather not necessarily take from you.

If I had the power and the privilege of appointing the man I think is the most viable candidate for President, it would have been Mike Huckabee. But as things turned out, my choices look to have boiled down to either Trump or Cruz and I can live with that. Rejecting the front runner on the basis distortions and or on otherwise manufactured grounds, smacks of anarchy to me. That's my opinion and when it comes time I will vote my conscience. Then one day, after time has come to an end and I stand in my lot at the end of my days, I will be called on to give an account of my life. At this point I plan to avoid the 'Hoot said' option.

In any case, I wouldn't presume to speak as to how even one unbound delegate is going to vote, much less nearly 2,500 of them.

I never knew that you put so much stock in what Karl Rove has to say. nicker:

Except where I clearly stated my prediction, all I have done is explained what is actually happening at state conventions around the country. Maybe Fox News and Karl Rove are not covering how badly Trump is doing at securing the support of delegates who will be attending the GOP convention in Cleveland, but that does not mean that it is not happening.

If Trump loses the nomination, it will be because he never bothered to learn the rules and has never thought rules should apply to him.
