The specter of Donald Trumps 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. Trumps 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.

What the GOPe’s will not be expecting is a down ballot GOP wipe out.
Which is exactly what will happen if they pull this stunt.
BS on two counts: 1) nothing has been kick started, Romney has been working this for months. 2) It's ridiculous, you don't stage a candidate coup because he/she had a week of bad press. If that were the case Hillary would have been gone years ago.
And I certainly won't vote for anyone OTHER THAN Trump...
They best get over themselves, and from what other gossip I hear is that Cleveland has refused all permits for the Trump Supporters...they have the BLM; NeverTrump; and the rest of them, but we Trump Supporters don't have anywhere with a permit...
I hope the people come to their senses before long...
“But weeks of bad press stemming from Mr. Trumps 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.”
Wrong. Weeks of bad press stemming from a deliberate effort by NeverTrump forces to create a backlash against Trump were an integral part of the plan to deny Trump the nomination on the convention floor.
I will warn your.
The Wash Times and Wash Examiner are owned and infested with NeverTrump crazies and peddle the divde/ conquer theme non stop,.
Read the lead sentence .
What misstep after the Orlando shooting is this clown reporter referring to ?..
Trump came out strong so was kind of Crap is this DC establishment rag trying to pull.
The DC media is a Globalist stenographers pushing the Trump is in trouble 24/7 .
It’s a strategy since Clinton clinched the nomination but the GOP base is still behind Trump so it’s pure BS.
Donate to Nehlen to STOP La Raza Ryan for one .
.
Exactly .
This entire thing is pure BS trying to divide us.
Read the first two sentences .
Trump came out string after Orlando so why is this
Media troll peddling the Hillary - Never Trump talking points of a uneven response .
Please Trump was very direct .
It’s a hit piece by a concerned DC Never trump media propagandist .
Your right
This Wash Times is a DC establishment media troll center just like the Hill or Wash Compost or Wash Examiner.
This media troll is just spitting out the Rhino insider talking points .
Correct. The question is, have they done some internal math that shows they can win without those supporters. I’m convinced they have and I’m convinced that’s their plan. Otherwise, why even try?
No one, and I mean no one, is better at forming circular firing squads than the republican Party.
Mississippi.
And, I think there was one other not too long ago.
Mitt the shit isnt a republican. He is a socialist and his Ol Man did the same thing to Goldwater.
Not that I'm a history teacher, but I developed the following concussion protocol for my son, three rapid fire questions:
1. What happened on June 6, 1844?
2. What happened on March 6, 1836?
3. What happened on November 22, 1963?
Thankfully, I only had to use it once, during 5th grade football. He needed a hint on #3, but his teammates looked at him in awe...lol.
>>> they dont care if we walk
They calculated that the additional pandered Hispanic voters could make up for the lost white votes.
Secondly, they are more afraid of the stopping of money flow than anything else. For this reason alone, they don’t really care who actually wins in elections.
“If they try this, Trumps numbers will go up. it will just prove once again America needs an outsider.”
Most likely true, but Trump needs to get his $hit together with his campaign. No more unforced errors!
“Nevada Republican Senator Dean Heller announced today that he is not voting for or supporting Trump.
WTF do these idiots think theyre doing?”
Heller is another Mormon who will follow Mittens. And if the GOP nominee for Reid’s seat wins, that will mean that Nevada has two Mormon Senators. And Flake in AZ is also a Mormon.
Well Said Harley Lady.
The Republican establishment would rather burn the party to the ground than allow the citizens to elect anyone as President who would enforce the laws and borders.
They are completely committed to blocking the citizens from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
Probably. But you can bet that Romney and clan will try to re-re-write the rules to favor the establishment for the next election.
