CLAIM: Trump Doesn’t Have Enough Delegates To Quell Convention Revolt
WMAL ^ | July 7, 2016

CLEVELAND — (CNN) Donald Trump’s campaign still lacks a sufficient number of supportive delegates to guarantee that any revolt at the Republican National Convention could be put down, a key committee delegate says.

RNC Committeeman from Georgia and Rules Committee delegate Randy Evans, a lawyer who also works with the RNC and the Trump campaign, estimates that Trump has the support locked up of 888 delegates to Cleveland this month in the event of an effort to unbind delegates, leaving them free to vote for any candidate.

If the republicans do anything to screw this election up, there will be a hell to pay.

I don’t know, but I did hear Sen. Lee last week moaning on Newsmax that Trump was mean to his “best friend” Ted Cruz.

The GOPe would be totally foolish to try to revolt against Trump. The PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN by the primary process. The GOPe has one foot in the grave RIGHT NOW. Such an attempt would finish them off with many/most losing their overpaid jobs going away.

Are they that stupid and politically suicidal ???

If Republicans let Lyn’ Ted’s delegate scheming and theft to disrupt the convention, then they deserve to lose in November. Any Trump delegate that cannot fully support Trump should step aside, especially those Cruz stealth delegates. Cruz needs to quit, not suspect his candidacy and make absolutely clear statement that his delegates should support Trump or stay home. Period, no exception.

A concern troll for 11 years???

What are you talking about?

People can post what’s relevant. We should know what’s going on with this convention business.

That should say Cruz should quit, not just SUSPEND his campaign.

But he has enough of we normal people. Participation in this gop primary season was up 62% over 2012. So go ahead smart asses, do it and see the results.

Why post this nonsense? Donald Trump is the nominee of the GOP for president. He will be officially nominated on the first ballot at the convention and there will be no rules change or any type of revolt. This is wasted space.

If they pull this stunt, not only will they get Hillary,

But there will be a revenge ballot down wipe out of GOP
candidates in the general.

A lot of the good, bad and ugly GOP candidates will bite the dust
as revenge for this continued nonsense.
