If you add up the current standings il Donald has something less than half of the current pledged delegates.
If there really is an anyone but il Donald movement this might foreshadow a brokered convention and perhaps a split into a third party movement.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Chicago Police are experienced with handling rowdy Political Convention crowds. If it comes to that my money would be on the Chicago Police.

Point to remember.
In Chicago '68 it was the police that rioted, just as at the il Donald rallies it has been the Trump supporters who attacked protesters. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Imagine the following scenario. Trump goes into the convention with just short of half of the delegates and does not get the nomination. Trump then elects to run as a third party candidate. In the general election, nobody gets over 50 percent of the electoral vote, but Sanders or Clinton gets the largest percentage. Guess who gets to be president? That could get really interesting. The House would choose a President from the three highest vote counts, almost certainly the Republican candidate. In the Senate the choice for Vice-President would be between the two highest electoral counts. If Trump happened to have one of the two highest counts and the Democratic candidate the other highest count the Senate would be forced to choose either the Trump running mate as Vice President or the Democratic candidate's running mate.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Correct but the choices would still be from the three top vote getters in the House and from the two top vote getters in the Senate.

Until we remove the concept of "The Corporation" as an individual with voting rights there is little hope regardless of which party is in power. Fascist Oligarchy forever.
AbE: And if we hope for change the very voice of Corporations must be silenced, the lobbyists thrown out and banned from having any contact other than contractual with governments at federal, state and local levels.

Numbers are essential, else Trump might not be able to keep his alter-egos inline.

If Trump does get elected (after all we did see a "B" actor get elected twice) what realistically would happen?
The President can issue Executive Orders to tell Federal Administrative Departments how to operate. Congress's role is pretty much limited to trying to get new laws passed and signed or in the area of (de)funding. Areas such as Immigration and Naturalization, Border Control, Environmental Protection, even Military, DoD, FBI, CIA, NSA and the Department of Homeland Security are under the direct control of the Executive Branch. Some still remember the era of Joe McCarthy and the "Fight for America", J. Edgar Hoover and Nixon's "Enemies List". They were all immensely popular at one point and ruined many lives. We have seen Trump find new enemies wherever he looks, reporters and journalists, protestors signs, Muslims, illegal immigrants, Mexicans, criminals, liberals ... We have heard him say that we need to torture folk, to spy on folk, to watch the mosques, to infiltrate religious and political groups. We have heard him lie and the public applaud, heard him recommend violence to those who dare to speak against him and heard him say that the protestors brought the violence on themselves, that sucker punching someone was justified. And all those behaviors are being welcomed and supported by audiences across the nation. He is telling folk that "It's not their fault" and they want that assurance. They welcome the opportunity to blame others, blame Muslims, blame immigrants, blame liberals, blame Mexicans, blame everyone but them. Tell them they are right to fear and hate the Muslims, immigrants, liberals, Mexicans, everyone but themselves. All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

The biggest difference is that the Governor of Illinois will have little effect on the rest of the nation or the world.

quote: How can they continue to get away with such nonsense. Now Trump says he might withdraw US Troops from Japan and South Korea. That should certainly make the world safer (can't say it would make Japan or South Korea feel safer).

Yet I note you did not answer the question as usual. So again, what do either of those have to do with whether or not the Iraq war was illegal or immoral?
