Donald Trump's continuing onslaught against the Republican Party's nominating rules has top members fighting behind the scenes shortly before their critical meeting in Florida...
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Conservative RNC members argue the change is to prevent party establishment figures from nominating Paul Ryan --or another RINO at the convention.
*******************************************************************
The POTUS race is now between the GOPe/RNC and Donald J.Trump.
Ted Cruz is a straw man, a Judas to the grass root conservative movement.
He intends delivering a contested convention to allow the RNC to parachute in Jeb or Ryan.
TeamCruz is not winning in the actual elections, the GOP is rigging it for him on the ground.
Ryan - Romeny - Rove - Bush - Others are all working in the shadows in every state.
Rush -Hannity - Levine all blind mutes to blatant rigging that's hard to dismiss.
Preibus is a piece of cr**. No wonder we are where we are.....fighting for a WINNING candidate.
They won't change to use Roberts Rules of Order for the convention. It has been suggested before and voted down each time, because it would lead to chaos. You'd basically have a situation where any delegate could shut down the convention.
Exactly. Thank you for your post.
Americans do not like rigged outcomes, which is Cruz is dropping like
a rock in the polls.
BS! He’s the very LAST PERSON I’d want to see in the White House. He makes a corkscrew look positively straight!
Sorry, nobody likes Loser Ted Cruz. Worst national candidate in generations.

“In many respects Preibus is the quintessential Republican. Weak, confused and unprincipled. “
And he has very, very small hands!
I noticed that too...hmmm.

One Two Three Four...Let’s so Rinsed Prius out the door!!!
Well said, BGS. The GOP bosses are lying, cheating and stealing their way to total fraud on the American voters. They make me sick to my stomach. To think that these liars have been scamming so many Republican voters for so long just makes me steam.
I don’t vote for anyone who denies the American People the right to choose their candidate through fair elections. Cruz is scum.
Seems now we have a situation when any elitist running the convention can shut down the convention and insert new candidates..
My problem is now you have the standing Rules, the Temporary Rules, the Suspension of the Rules, new rules injected, and regardless it all circles back to the Establishment’s will for certain outcomes— they who get to run rough shod over the whole joint, until the hotel reservations run out.
As for Roberts Rules, who voted them down? The committee, or the people serving as delegates?
Trump only complains where he has ‘difficulty’.
They have never used Robert Rules for the convention itself. Trump supporters have been screaming about the possibility that the rules might be changed at the last minute disadvantage Trump. Are you now hollering because the rules WON’T be changed just to benefit Trump?
It’s the “Trump Or Riot” strategy.
THERE IS NO RIGGING. The rules were well known to everyone.
If, as Trump claims, the rules are rigged against him, how is it that he has 37 percent of the votes and 45 percent of the delegates?
If you follow Trump, you have to follow Trump. Not logic.
