RNC delegates launch 'Anybody but Trump' drive

A coalition of Republican delegates is mounting a last-ditch effort to block Donald Trump from obtaining the GOP nomination by pushing for a "conscience clause" that would allow delegates to vote against the presumptive nominee.

Kendal Unruh, a Colorado delegate, organized a call with dozens of other delegates Thursday night to discuss ways to block Trump at the convention. The group, Unruh says, marks the coalescing of disparate "pockets of resistance" -- including backers of Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich -- which had been opposing Trump with little success.

Why not just be honest and say: "Republican delegates for Hillary Clinton as president"?!

All these attacks on Trump only help Hillary and try to nullify the will of the Republican electorate who overwhelmingly voted for Trump to be the Republican nominee and hopefully president.

The more of this they try, the stronger Trump becomes.

We have known for a long time that a large part of the Republican in both houses were not conservative republicans but supported the communists Democrats. They are now just showing who they are and it is time to put efforts in removing them when their next State reelection.

Trump for President. I will be no cake walk during the election in November but we can do it.

This may not be illegal, but it is definitely anti-American as they seek to annul the votes of millions of people. What is happening to our country?
Are we far more gone than anyone knows? This is what happens when patriots sleep and slumber and fold their hands for too long.

I think we need to be aware to fight and effectively counter it.

Honestly, since it looks like we’re in a period of liberal ascendancy and dominance that will last for most of the 21st century anyway, why not just destroy the GOP and take the time to build something better, with a broader appeal.

These guys really have to go.

Hey, Kendal Unruh (sounds like a good mormon name?)

You lost the primary. Get over it.

They are nasty and dirty and I expect the same to happen with some AZ delegates although I can’t say for a fact I know this but it would not surprise me one bit. The Cruz delegates is who I am thinking of and at least one I know (delegate and she is a Cruz supporter).

If they want a war let it begin there in Cleveland. Lock and load patriots.
