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.

“I believe Trump just raised $50,000,000 for the party, money that would surely not be donated if his nomination is stolen.”

This is exactly why I intentionally donated to donaldjtrump.com and not to the RNC PAC.

No. Got this through a connection.

Sad times indeed, when we need to pass information through connections like samidzat in the old USSR.

What next, reusing carbon paper to print tracts?

I’m with you. Cruz was my fave initially, too, and you can’t deny his intelligence. Didn’t take long to question his motivation and his backing, though. I want his citizenship issue cleared up, too. Let’s hope that will be on President Trump’s agenda. If proven a non-citizen, he should NOT be in the Senate and “you don’t mess with Texas”...if he has been pulling the wool over their eyes, he’ll be gone!

I love your definition, “Hillary’s little helpers”. How anyone would consider voting for Hillary when she has been so exposed as the conniving, lying, money hungry cheat she is, blows my mind. There is some ironic justice. The son-in-law hedge fund manager who lost all those investor’s millions in the Greek debacle with the so-called reputed “inside information” claimed in news reports, and most can figure out who that “insider” is, just shows how the inept bungling continues!

The career republican politicians will obey their masters, the ultra rich donor class. Trump threatens their cheap labor express. That can not be allowed. Middle class must be sacrificed at the altar of the ruling class.

I warned you many times but you chose to ignore. I even posted links to his recorded on video speeches. I can smell a rat a mile away.

I am voting for Trump in the November election, whether he’s on the ballot or not. It would be great if he was .... if the GOPe is stupid enough to put ANYONE else on the ballot as their nominee, I’ll be writing in Trump’s name. Period.

If the GOPe try to pull something at the convention, this election is over. A divided party can NOT defeat the Hillary machine. Idiots.

I just listened to Limbaugh because of the hearings that I mostly missed.

He said that if the “Republicans win, and if it is Trump” then the rule of law would be re-instituted.

“IF it is Trump”?

Looks like Limbaugh is holding out hope that it won’t be Trump, and he got excited just now on the WSJ story about a Trump coup.

Limbaugh is still holding out for a globalist, despite his protestations. There are no other types in the line up.

For myself, if the establishment screws Trump out of the nomination......I will be staying home on 8 November 2016, and I don’t think that I will be alone. The Republic will in effect “BE DEAD”. Like Benjamin Franklin said to a women when he came out after voting for independence and she asked what kind of government did he give them, and Franklin was reported to have said, “A Republic, if you can keep it!” Well, we didn’t keep it, we traded it for Socialism and/or dictatorship.

There needs to be a march on Washington, sit ins, protest and generally getting into the face of those who defy the will of the people. No more laying down and letting them get away with their corruption.

There are a reported 13 million people that support Donald Trump.

I would suggest that the delegates, at all levels, at all eateries - either fine or quick, all service stations, all retail and entertainment establishments, watch their back, for that one voter whose button has been pushed the wrong way by them.

.... The GOP is going to "Revolt" itself right into another Clinton Presidency thanks to well place operatives from the Left and the scores of Useful Idiots that easily fall for finely crafted propaganda used to control them.

.... The Left knows full well that the GOP's greatest useful strength is its ability to form circular firing squads right on cue.

.... The Left is pulling our strings.

I hadn’t even heard about that one. There are so many Clinton scandals, I need a cross-referenced directory just to try to keep track of all of them.
