Pro-Romney forces given reins to GOP convention rules, positioned to launch anti-Trump coup
Washington Times ^ | June 20, 2016 | Ralph Z. Hallow

The specter of Donald Trump’s presidential nomination being ripped from under him in a nastily contested Republican National Convention next month is alive — again.

Anti-Trump forces appeared to have been defeated after he ousted his remaining opponents from the race in early May and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus all signaled that Mr. Trump had sewn things up.

But weeks of bad press stemming from Mr. Trump’s criticism of a federal judge and uneven handling in the aftermath of the Orlando, Florida, terrorist shooting have kick-started efforts to deny Mr. Trump the nomination on the convention floor.

If Mittens the Magic Marshmallow would have only fought this valiantly against the forces of libtardism four years ago, the Royal Idiot would have been vanquished to a life of exile!

Other than in NY, I have never seen a political party run against its own nominee.

Any one they appoint to the committee would have been a pro Romney voter last cycle.

Trump is in.

Read my tagline. Walk? I hope the Trump delegates trash the place.

Also hope Trump runs third party.

Also plan to work toward the end of the republican party.

The treason of these foul scumbags is unprecedented, and we are seeing really perverse character flaws in Romney and Ryan.

Nauseating.

normally, Hillary the Liar would be TOTALLY unelectable and all D’s know it

but there is apparently this conspiracy to destroy the R party from inside

(probably financed by Hillary and her IslamoNazi financial backers)

I am beginning to think HILLARY CAN WIN... (by just buying a couple dozen operatives from inside the R party apparatus)

This just shows that a new party is needed - assuming Trump wins that is, because if he doesn’t, why bother? - and let the Republican establishment have their party, that they were effectively killing before, back...so they can finish killing it. The sooner there is no longer a Republican Party, the sooner we are rid of these corrupt scumbags.

total BS

This is just the media trying to reignite the Republican internal struggles to help Hillary and their ratings.

There is NOTHING to this.

Trump is and will be the nominee.

Uneven handling in aftermath of Orlando? What is he talking about?

Criticism of Trump is nothing compared to Hillary’s breaking laws. How can the DNC run a candidate who broke the law with Email along, let alone other criminal activity such as destroying the lives of Monica, etc.
