Noah on GOP Primary: Your Vote Counts as Long as It’s Not Against Establishment’s Choice

‘If the Republican establishment can just prevent Trump from getting a majority of delegates before the July convention, then they can throw out all the primary votes and pick the nominee themselves’

NOAH: "Now you may be wondering why are people like Rubio who has won so far Minnesota and an island who can't for vote for president and John Kasich who has won even less staying in the race. Good question, why are they staying in the race? Well, it's because of the Republican's new brilliant strategy for stopping Trump."
CNN [video]: "In order to stop Trump from collecting the number of delegates that would put him over the top and secure him the nomination, it's imperative that all the candidates that are in the race now, stay in the race at least until the convention so that he won't collect enough delegates and they can be scattered among the candidates."
NOAH: "I love this, basically they're praying for chaos. Yeah, because if the Republican establishment can just prevent Trump from getting a majority of delegates before the July convention, then they can throw out all the primary votes and pick the nominee themselves. And this isn't a secret plan either. They're fairly open about this."
NEWS REPORTS [video]: "The Rubio campaign is reportedly already drafted plans to overtake Trump in a contested convention ... You have Kasich coming out today and saying that he sees a pathway for himself to the nomination. It's called being annointed at the convention."
NOAH: "Ah, Democracy. Where every vote counts as long as that vote doesn't go against the people who actually control the party in which case they will disregard your vote, replace it with their vote and then every vote will count. Democracy."
