CLEVELAND -- Republicans responsible for setting the party's presidential nomination rules on Thursday overwhelmingly rejected attempts to formally unbind delegates to next week's convention, effectively ending any serious attempt to rob Donald Trump of the GOP presidential nomination.

A vote came quickly Thursday night as part of a day-long marathon session of the Republican National Convention's rules committee, which sets the rules of the meetings and how the party will pick its nominee in 2020.

The rejection of the "unbinding" proposal was so overwhelming that committee leaders opted not to record the tally. Trump supporters on the committee quickly exercised procedural tactics to effectively kill any attempt to revive the issue -- and to codify that delegates are indeed bound to vote for the results of state caucuses and primaries...

We want specific names of all involved who backed this nonsense.
It is way past time for them to pay a personal price too.

Thank God.

Anyone who thinks that the Republicans could win the White House with a candidate who is not the people’s choice is delusional.

It is time to support Trump with our whole hearts. It is time to hit the social media and subtly mock those who keep trying to push the meme that Trump will usher in WWIII. Silly idiots. Everyone knows that Reagan brought WWIII. Trump has to settle for WWIV or WWV (I dunno, after the first two, I lost count).

I will be voting for Gary Johnson in November.

So Liz Mair is fine with Hillary being elected president? Liz Mair should be booted out of the Republican party and should never be allowed to work for anyone other than a communist democrat ever again.

NOW will they finally help stop Hillary from stealing the country before destroying it?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Romney, the Bushes, and many others will refuse to fund Trump,
that is how they will continue the battle, plus nitpicking and spying to make sure no campaign funding laws seem to be broken.

But non of that will even be a bump in the road to The Donald.

Cruz on suicide watch?

What's with Lee? Seems so many that we had high hopes for seem to turn ugly when the veneer starts to crack and peel.

Petulant child. So true. I was a big fan of his too. His conservative credentials were good. Obviously much of his philosophy was for personal gain and damn the country.

https://twitter.com/LizMair 50 mins ago - View on Twitter For the record, I will be voting for Gary Johnson in November. I suspect a lot of people will. Have a good night, all!

Nobody gives a rusty f*** what you think or do Lizzy baby. Libertarian ideas on limiting the scope of government are good, but this isn't the time for a protest vote. I just contributed another $100 to Trump's campaign.

Absolutely true, and they know it. THEY DON'T WANT TO WIN! They conservatives to lose so as to teach conservatives not to dispute the will of their betters.

They would a thousand times rather work with corrupt lying Hillary and keep their positions of power than see a conservative win and have to actually face a conservative governing philosophy. The establishment Republicans are only marginally different from liberal Democrats.

Romney is already destroyed. Trump needs to go after Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.
