Midknight Review -- new and revised: Picture of delegate count for GOP, current and future from Real Clear Politics: Trump 380, Cruz 297, Rubio 123, Kasich 34.

Editor's notes: Kasich believes that if he goes into the convention with 34 votes versus Trumps 380, as an example, manipulates the accepted rules, and comes out as the GOP nominee, that that is a good thing.

Why the example? Because Kasich is hoping that this is what will happen at the convention: he comes to the floor with 100 delegates, Trump with 1100, and after the dust has settled, he (Kasich) is the winner over someone who garnered 10x his vote total.

Isn't this the very thing folks are rebelling against? I have no intentions of voting for Trump, in the general election, unless he surrounds himself with strong conservative types (not hard right, non-compromising folks) who cherish constitutional protections and precesses . . . . including a strong V.P. whose last name does not end with "Christie." Having said that, if the process (as opposed to the rules) gives Trump a command of the nomination, I would not support "tom-foolery" to push Trump to the back of the line. I know, this is a sad dialectic on my part (me allowing for Trumps nomination but refusing to vote for the man), but process is process, my opinion is my opinion, and "rules" come in third place. Understand that Trump is a populist running as an anti-establishment candidate. He did not create the anger, he only tapped into same. Where we are today, is all on the McCains/Cantors/Mitchells/Boehners of the GOP. If the party politic created by these clowns gets wasted by Trump, so be it.

Understand, there is never a good time to blow up the party. But, if "now" is not the time to fix a very broken GOP, there will never be a good time. Who knows, with all the troubles storming to front, in the Progressive/Socialist party, "now" just might be the best time in a 100 years to fixed what is already broken . . . . we (the GOP and associated conservatives) just might survive the coming election because of the weakness of the Clinton candidacy.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
