Dick Morris predicts Clinton nominee at brokered convention

Political strategist Dick Morris told Newsmax TV that a brokered Democratic convention could trigger a civil war the party will never recover from

MORRIS The Democratic delegates are allocated based on proportional representation in all 50 states first time thats been the case And therefore all the states if Bernie gets under 50 of the vote which will be in most of them he does not get a majority of the delegates So my guess is that as we go through Super Tuesday Bernie will win Hes currently leading in every Super Tuesday state -- except for Minnesota -- where theres been a poll and I think hell get about 40 of the vote

Now under the rules of the Democratic Party as they now stand the super delegates who are approximately 20 of the convention have to vote on the first ballot the same way If the state cast 40 of its vote for Bernie they have to vote 40 for Bernie regardless of who they are for The convention will be brokered then going into the second ballot and at that point the super delegates are released and I think theyre all going to go for Hillary

On the second ballot the super delegates will be free to vote for whoever they want to vote for And since they are by definition appointed -- because they are either ex officio serving because they are senators or congressmen or governors or national committeemen or state party chairmen they are all the establishment and theyre all going to look for a candidate And theres nobody else out there but Hillary Clinton

Morris made a grave prediction if Hillary Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee through a brokered Democratic Convention

MORRIS Therell be civil war and the Democratic Party will never never recover from it And let me go into the PostScript Hillary will get clobbered Shes much weaker than she was in 16 And Trump is much stronger than he was in 16 And I dont think its going to be very close

I pray that this chamber will uphold the Virginia family that the bills and laws being passed will always protect the Biblical traditional marriage as God instructed the first man and the first woman in the Bible that the two shall be one flesh That a man and a woman shall be fruitful and multiply

Listen now to Democratic Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn interrupt Pastor Grants prayer with her gavel when he says the word homelessness and then she completely cuts him off by leading the Virginia House of Representatives in the Pledge of Allegiance right in the middle of his prayer

GRANT We should never rewrite what God has declared Marriage is to join a biological male and a biological female and holy matrimony not to provoke the Almighty God Without laws to protect traditional marriage Virginia will be reduced to increasing fatherless children and welfare victims and homelessness gavel bang which is a tax burden to us all

FILLER-CORN I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America for which it stands one Nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all
