Never Trump movement gets little help from convention rules panel roster

The Republican National Committee has released the list of the 112 members of the upcoming convention rules committee — a panel that will be the focal point of a struggle by anti-Donald Trump delegates to block the mogul's nomination at the Republican National Convention next month.

But Trump foes hoping the panel will help their cause are in for a disappointment, as the roster is stacked with officials who publicly support making Trump the nominee.

[Do they still have a candidate?]

Brad Thor apparently said on Whacko Beck’s show that he wants to run Don’t know if he was being sarcastic or not...

I told you people to stop worrying. Now stop worrying.

[Sasparilla]

Has Cruz given up yet?

[lodi90]

Yeah and Paul Ryan “supports” Trump too. We’ll see how this goes. I still believe they want a divisive convention. We shall see.

As well it should be since Donald has won the nomination outright! He should control all the standing and ad hoc committees. Other candidates delegates should have a voice but only in proportion to how that candidate performed in the primaries.

...and ONLY if they have endorsed and support Trump.

Brad Thor is Beck’s latest butt boy.

Morons, the both of them.

Oh, wonder, joy and glory. A guy who’s indirectly threatened to assassinate President Trump (God, President Trump sounds wonderful), now thinks he’s qualified to run for President. (Sarc off)

Romney and Kristol are 'down for the shtruggah'.

#NeverTrump is flat out dead now, no rule can be brought to the floor for a floor vote unless first introduced and approved by the rules committee. So with the rules committee firmly in Trump's hands, there is absolutely no way the floor delegates can be released to “vote their conscience” or any of the other shenanigans the #NeverTrumper's hoped for.

Where are all the Cruzers who vowed the rules committee would be well, ruled by Teddy? I’m still laughing.
