I’d never vote for a Mormon. They always have the best interests of Mormons at heart, not what’s best for the country.

“She’s high,” the official said of the Colorado delegate.

Taking over the government by undemocratic means. Isn't this sort of like sedition? What's the punishment for that?

Cruz could have put a stop to this nonsense months ago.

And he could have been Trump's running mate if he'd have accepted the reality of this election year and gotten his greatly overblown ego under control.

He's damaged his own future prospects and he's damaged the Republican presidential ticket to some extent.

This PROVES this whole “Never Trump” bulls**t was started by/centered around Lyin’ Ted!!!

Absolutely - I got another fundraiser call from the Cruz for Senate campaign and told them that despite the sour grapes, he has to endorse Trump - strongly - or he is effectively for Hillary and I don't donate my money to the enemy.

The gal had nothing to say which makes me think he is up to his neck in all the on-going crap and the attempt to change the convention rules.

BTW - been donating to Trump for months and finally got my first mailer asking for donations - it included a "Make America Great Again" sticker. I donate monthly but decided to send an extra $50 this month as part of this particular drive.

If one doesn't actually invest oneself in supporting him, then one isn't really supporting him.

I encourage all on FR to donate something to someone or consider their inputs to be worthless - I also encourage them to donate to FR or stop wasting the time and resources with their "sage but empty punditry"....

This story is total bs. Trump is firmly in control and this story is designed to make the losers powerful and important when in fact they powerless and meaningless.

Just heard Eric Trump on Hannity and he said that if you think their first month of fund raising was impressive wait until you see next month.

UPDATE V (12:55 p.m.): There is no deal, according to a source briefed on the negotiations, and the Rules Committee meeting will soon reconvene. According to the source, Cuccinelli requested that the first four nominating contests in 2020 be closed — meaning only registered Republicans could participate — and Priebus balked at the idea.

Second, the RNC official says if Priebus is successful, everyone will get something they want — except Unruh. The RNC chairman will get a smooth Rules Committee meeting; Cuccinelli will get some Cruz-friendly reforms to the primary process. Unruh, however, will get nothing in exchange for watching her anti-Trump efforts wither and die. “Do they have a bone they can throw Kendal?” the RNC official said. “Probably not. I think she goes under the bus.”
Poor baby.

Salt Lake has elected a leftist freak for mayor since I can remember. SLC is our own little Eugene/Austin.

Mia (my district) might be on the edge, but Lee (the Romney whisperer) will be handily reelected.

LOL. Thank goodness there aren’t that many dems. The statehouse reflects the distribution.

AND Mia is in my (district) also, and as far as both of them, as I stated: They both have sold their souls out to the GOPe; Neo-cons; and the rest of the mess...

AND Utah isn’t like it used to be, I moved back here 4 years ago, having left in 1984, and it is different, and the people that have moved here are different...

Yes, Salt Lake City has been weird, but remember what they said: “She won’t win” and she did...

Rule 5? The witch made a parliamentary inquiry as to determine how to count the number of votes.

And there are still Cruz supporters out there that do not realize that Cruz has ALWAYS been for open borders, ALWAYS been for TPP, and had visions of becoming President of North America. After all, Heidi Cruz wrote the terrible North American Union agreement being totally with her husband and the rest of the Globalists!

NatReview timeline update:

PDATE V (12:55 p.m.): There is no deal, according to a source briefed on the negotiations, and the Rules Committee meeting will soon reconvene. According to the source, Cuccinelli requested that the first four nominating contests in 2020 be closed — meaning only registered Republicans could participate — and Priebus balked at the idea.

UPDATE VI: (1:05 p.m.): Another source close to the negotiations said there are simply “too many moving parts” and that Cuccinelli’s request was not the only reason for a deal not being reached. He says, however, that some discussions are still ongoing — even as the Rules Committee has now gaveled back into session. Senator Lee, an original participant in the talks, shrugged off questions about the negotiations. Asked if they would continue, he replied, “We’ll see.”

So they are setting up a gimmick-free procedural process ... to jimmy the voters’ choice back to their back-room gimmicks?

And Hillary’s ABCNNBCBS mass media press corpse is egging them on!

The rule group is far more in the weeds than the credentials. Good night. Leave your commas in the parking lot. Grits for breakfast? LOL.
