Donald Trump Has Reason to Cry Foul Over a ‘Rigged Election’April 20, 2016

Onto the next! The New York primary is in the rear-view mirror, but the scramble for Republican delegates is far from over. Next Tuesday, April 26, GOP primaries will take place in Pennsylvania,...

If front-runner Trump does not arrive in Cleveland with 1,237 delegates in hand – the requisite majority needed to become the nominee – the convention will vote, and then vote again until one candidate reaches that magic number. After the first round, in which 5 percent of the delegates are “unbound,” 59 percent of the delegates are free to change their affiliation; after the second ballot, 80 percent can do so.

Voters should ask: how do you court a delegate? What can Ted Cruz, or any of the candidates, offer these men and women to secure their second-ballot votes?

For starters, he can pitch his policies, or the effort he will make on behalf of a delegate’s home-state candidates. He can argue that he has the best shot at beating Hillary Clinton, or that his polling in the candidate’s state looks great for the “down-ballot” crowd.

He might also offer to include a delegate in some policy-making committee, allow them to act as a campaign surrogate, or suggest that a person could fill a slot in the “transition team.”

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Out on the campaign trail, Donald Trump relishes his feud with his own party. He threatened to sue the Republican National Committee. He called its nominating system “rigged,” “deceptive” and “a disgrace.” And he has suggested he might try to depose the party chairman.

But as RNC members gathered at a palatial beach resort here this week, Trump’s aides launched an urgent effort aimed at rebranding the mogul’s persona and thawing hostilities with the skittish party elite.

“We need unity as soon as possible,” said Ed Cox, the New York party chairman and a Trump supporter.

Yet while the charm offensive has made some progress, interviews with dozens of GOP officials here showed that the celebrity billionaire still has to overcome a host of lingering concerns — both about his loyalty to the party as well as his discipline and electability as a candidate.

“We’re the ones that built this party,” said Jonathan Barnett, a national committeeman from Arkansas. “You see so many states where they have never reached out or built an organization. . . . Remember, we’re good people. We’re the grass roots. We’ve been around a long time. And Trump needs us.”
