From bikers to truckers, pro-Trump groups plan forceful presence in Cleveland

Chris Cox plans to celebrate the billionaire's coronation as the Republican presidential nominee. He also counts on joining protests if a battle over the nomination ensues. "I'm anticipating we'll be doing a victory dance," said Cox, 47, a chainsaw artist and founder of Bikers for Trump, thousands of whom he estimates will hit the Ohio city for the July 18-21 Republican National Convention.

"But if the Republican Party tries to pull off any backroom deals and ignores the will of the people, our role will change."

-------------------------------

But if he falls short of the required 1,237 delegates, raising the risk he could lose out in a contested convention, they said they plan to do all they can to exert pressure on party leaders to prevent someone else getting the nomination.

-------------------------------------

"STOP THE STEAL"

Stone plans to raise $262,000 through online donations to hire buses and is negotiations with colleges in the Cleveland area on sleeping space for activists. He says he wants Republican delegates Trump has won in primaries to sign a "voluntary pledge" to back him beyond the first ballot should there be a contested convention.

Citizens for Trump co-founder Tim Selaty says he will have activists filming events inside the convention center and broadcasting them live on social media "to document every move." "If Mr. Trump walks into the convention center a couple of hundred votes ahead of Cruz and loses the nomination, it will not be a pretty scene," Selaty said.

Truckers for Trump says it has 4,000 members and that more than 1,000 are committed to driving their big rigs to Cleveland.

Hmmm...being a ‘biker chick’ and knowing a lot of buddies, and having been a driver of 18 wheels, I would say the RNC best NOT have any plans but to make sure Trump in nominated on the FIRST ballot...

Just saying....

Not enough time was known in advance to be in California. Cleveland is known to all and anyone who can be there should be there. I’m a company driver and will be asking my dispatcher to route me to Cleveland that week. I’m willing to use a couple of home time days to be able to participate.

If he is denied, there will be riots. That’s not a threat in any way - just a statement of fact.

The nomination is over. Trump wins easy. The pro Trump demonstrators need to go to Cleveland to CELEBRATE in the streets and crush any attempt by the communists hillary supporters to intimidate or endanger us.

I'd expect to see CA bikers at future public Trump events.
