All of Trump’s children, with the exception of Ivanka and Barron, will be delegates to the Republican National Convention.
The Orlando Sentinel reported:
Leading the entourage to Milwaukee in July as delegation chairman will be Eric Trump. His big brother Donald Jr. and little sister Tiffany also were chosen as at-large delegates, along with half-brother Barron, who’s graduating from high school this month. Trump’s daughter Ivanka is not a delegate. [Melania Trump’s office announced after this story was published that Barron would not be a delegate due to “prior commitments.”]
Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, was chosen to co-lead the party platform committee.
Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump leads the Republican National Committee. A total takeover.
But, says the story, family members of other presidential candidates were delegates:
It’s not uncommon for family members of nominees to serve as convention delegates. Donald Trump Jr. was a New York delegate in 2016 and former President Bill Clinton was named a superdelegate to the 2016 Democratic convention that nominated his wife, Hillary Clinton, that year.

With help from his fanatically fascist, dangerously dumber-than-dumb deplorable MAGARINO cult, who turn out in mass to vote in party primaries, Traitor Trump has taken over the Republican Party.
What was once known as the GOP has become a subsidiary of the Trump crime family, another source of income.
It is now obvious that there are two serious weaknesses in the US election process.
The first one is the primaries, where most voters don’t vote, and a tiny fraction of the total decides who runs in the general elections.
Iowa, for instance:
In the primaries for 2024, Traitor Trump won with 51% of the primary vote that was 56,260 (what he got, not the total).
In 2020, during the general election, the traitor won Iowa with 897,672 votes to Biden’s 759,061.
The Traitor won the primary for 2024 with less than 6.3% of the total number of voters who turned out in 2020 to vote for him. About 1 in 9 Republican voters voted in the primaries in Iowa decided who the other 8 that didn’t show up get to vote for in the general election, and that repeats in other state.
The Traitor barely wins because of his fanatical MAGARINO cultists.
The second serious weakness is the flawed Electoral College system that allows the popular vote winner for president to win an election and become president, putting a loser in the White House who became the candidate for his party with a small percentage of the total number of voters who turn out to vote in general elections.
Biden could have lost the 2020 election through the Electoral College, by less than 500,000 votes that he got, if they’d voted for Traitor Trump instead, in the few battle ground states that decided the election through the Electoral College.
And Biden would still have ended up with about 7.5 million more popular votes than the traitor.
I think the Republicans (with help from someone like Putin) figured out how to rig elections legally through the Electoral College and now Traitor Trump is going to benefit from that strategy that relies on lies, hoaxes, conspiracy theories, spreading hate and fear through propaganda to mislead voters.

Until the Democratic Party’s “leadership” ends the use of so-called superdelegates to rig its primaries in favor of establishment candidates, finger wagging at Republicans will be viewed by most voters as an example of the holier than thou pettiness that it is.

Agree with you about the “leadership” of the DNC. These people are disgusting. Bernie Sanders should have been our last presidential candidate.

Knowing nothing about Superdelegates in the Democratic Party I Googled it.
“In American politics, a superdelegate is a delegate to a presidential nominating convention who is seated automatically. In Democratic National Conventions, superdelegates—described in formal party rules as the party leaders and elected official (PLEO) category—make up slightly under 15% of all convention delegates.”
Who are the Democratic superdelegates? | Pew Research Center
“They’re the embodiment of the institutional Democratic Party – everyone from former presidents, congressional leaders and big-money fundraisers to mayors, labor leaders and longtime local party functionaries. Nearly six-in-ten are men, close to two-thirds are white, and their average age (as best we could tell) is around 60.”
Ahh, now I understand, younger members of the party feel that’s it’s wrong that so many older members of the party should be a superdelegate. Except, it seems to me that maybe all that time in the party and all the work they did for the party is what earned them that spot, not their age.

Republicans don’t really do democracy anymore. I’m surprised unhinged Trump hasn’t yet skipped delegates and voting altogether and simply let fellow Republican psychopath Elon Musk do a Twitter poll that can be either loaded with bots or ignored. Oh it’s X now. Sooo sorry, Mad Musk.

Exactly right.
Comparing a bevy of adult children with a former president is a dumb analogy.

Yes, or one’s wife; but it’s an even worse “false equivalence” when one considers the concrete RANGE OF DIFFERENCE between these particular people (Trump and his children) and Hilary Clinton (Bill’s wife).
There is nothing equivalent, intellectually, morally, politically, etc. between them except, perhaps, things like, e.g., having fingers and toes. CBK

A former president would be an excellent delegate. He understands politics and knows many people who are delegates.
Why would Eric and Don Jr and Tiffany Trump be eligible to serve as delegates. Nepotism.

Diane: Yes. However, on principle, even nepotism with people of good character and intentions, and who actually understand what’s going on, could work. On the other hand, kings, while known for passing down power, and even brilliant people, are well-known for not passing down genius, and for having otherwise for children. CBK
