Long read, his nuclear option was distributed in time for the RNC Spring convention and ignored. This would be the last far-fetched remote attempt by Never-Trump conspirators to utilize Curley's rule-games before the convention to alter the rules.

Curley is an undaunted in his approach as he holds the record in rules committee defeats. He claims to be laying the groundwork for his greatest victory ever and is an inspiration to those holdouts that refuse to come to terms with the distinct possibility of the Trump presidency.

We need a Moe to poke Curly in the eyes.

[DarthVader]

Curly can suck an egg. Morton Blackwell from VA is higher up in the food chain in the RNC and a reliable source has conveyed that there will no rules changes as per Rinse Prewash and decided on by the rules committee. He is blowing hot air.

[Captain Peter Blood]

You talk about being a hated man if he tries this or even succeeds. The GOP can just fold up and go away of this were to happen and succeed.

Someone needs to put this guy on 10,000 CC’s of Thorazine a day and put in a rubber room till after the convention is over.

[COBOL2Java]

"I love Curly!"

[kiryandil]

He claims to be laying the groundwork for his greatest victory ever...

So, Curly Haugland has been a crypto-Democrat all these years?

[Vigilanteman]

I don’t know this guy Curly Haugland, but I do know a guy who came pretty darn close in 1976 in North Dakota politics. See my Freeper page for details.

Trump gets the nomination or the country burns.

Angry white people don’t burn cities. We burn continents.

Curly is a blowhard who bought his seat from the ND GOP Party. He has no power.

[ConservativeWarrior]

“He’s the mainstream GOP’s last hope to deny Donald Trump...”

The “Mainstream GOP” is behind Trump. It’s the dinosaur GOPe clingers-on who oppose him, and will be left behind.

[Rusty0604]

Sounds like he has a serious personality disorder.

[polymuser]

“...but there is still a way, buried in the labyrinthine rulebook...”

Yet these anti-American GOPe bastards can’t do the obvious ways, openly exposed in our COTUS, to deal with Obama, SCOTUS, trade agreements, state control, and on and on.

I vote NO CONFIDENCE on GOPe.

[Titus-Maximus]

I am not an expert but if a state can block a candidate from a federal ballot then they are taking away Constitutional rights. Shouldn’t all federal offices be outside the domain of state law?

[ctdonath2]

Nuclear options presume delivery as intended.
First-ballot “vote for whoever you want” may very well result in a landslide for Trump. Seriously: who is going to vote for flamed-out candidates? (I voted Cruz, but given a second chance as a delegate may very well change my mind.)

[dware]

Apparently he hasn’t heard of sections .223 and .45 of the American rulebook. Go ahead there, Curly sue...I dare you.

[OldMissileer]

I was stationed in North Dakota for 7.5 years and found the ND Republican party to be an offshoot of the Democrat Party.

North Dakota politics is some of the most insular, inbred, and self-serving that I have ever seen and made me want to vomit as they tried, with every breath, to take advantage of the rest of our Country, especially the military members of the two air bases there.

It was disgusting.

[ozzymandus]

This assclown is an excellent example of the people who need to be purged from the GOP if it is ever to be successful.

I thought the delegates were bound by their individual state party rules regarding the first vote.
