(TRUNEWS) Marco Rubio’s campaign manager, Terry Sullivan, met privately with a group of top donors last Wednesday evening in New York to plot for a brokered convention.
In exclusive audio of the presentation obtained by Breitbart News, Sullivan said: “That is – I know if you watch the cable shows, they’re pretty breathless right about now that this is it, nothing is stopping Donald Trump. He can’t be stopped. He has got more momentum, this is it. It is over. 5.3 percent of the delegates allocated in this thing. We have 94.7 percent remaining. You need to get to 1,237 delegates to win this thing.”
“What this really comes down to, this race going forward on these delegates, is a race to get the most delegates at convention. If nobody gets to 50 percent of the delegates, if nobody gets to 1,237, then there’s a floor fight and delegates in most of these states, every state has different rules on these delegates, most of these states – the delegates are no longer bound after the first ballot. So if nobody has 50 percent, they do a perfunctory ballot, no one gets there. No one gets to 1,237, and then the vast majority of the next round of voting are free agents.”

Sullivan also gave his opinion of who he thinks the delegates actually are, party insiders not loyal to Trump in any way.
“The interesting thing without getting too far into the weeds of these delegates is – you know, a little over 95 percent of the [inaudible], the delegates aren’t selected by the campaigns.”
“Donald Trump doesn’t choose his delegates for the national convention, I don’t choose Marco Rubio’s, Ted Cruz doesn’t choose his. These are people –in many cases who have already started the process, they ran on a slate at their precinct, then it was GOP conventions, then at their state conventions, to become a delegate for the national convention. Some of you I know have been delegates in the national convention here, different way, different state, it’s a pretty laborious process. It is generally not someone who just – a casual voter if you will, or someone who is just suddenly energized. These are people who have been involved in the process for a long time, have relationships with other activists, because you’re elected at your state convention. So why that’s important—and I know I’m side tracking, but this is an important [point]—when you show up at the convention, if I just say, ‘I want to go to Cleveland, because well it’s a fun place to go hangout in July—thank you Reince Priebus. After I spend 15 minutes at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.’ Most of the people go to these conventions because they believe in the Republican Party, they believe in a core set of issues, they’ve been doing this for a while.”
After Super Tuesday, Donald Trump has secured a total of 316 delegates and the other candidates combined have 365. If this trend continues, the GOP establishment will be able to at a minimum force Donald Trump to accept a vice President, and at maximum steal the nomination from the public vote.
